Materials
In the Saatva Classic, you’ll find steel Lumbar Zone® individually-wrapped coils and Lumbar Zone® Active Spinal Wire to relieve pressure and help with spinal alignment. Higher up, CertiPUR-US®* certified ½” gel-infused memory foam and a 3” Euro pillow top with Lumbar Zone® quilting come into play.

Copper gel memory foam in the upper comfort layer of the Helix cushions and supports your body. Underneath this are the brand’s proprietary memory foam and a layer of foam created for specifically for side sleepers. The mattress also includes individually-wrapped coils.
Comfort & Feel
Back Support
The Congress of Chiropractic State Associations awarded Saatva a seal of approval for our patented spinal zone technology. The individually-wrapped coils conform to your body, helping ease pressure. The memory foam lumbar crown in the Saatva Classic adds additional relief.
The Helix Midnight Luxe cradles your body to relieve pressure at the shoulders and hips. Zoned lumbar support—like extra-firm foam under your hips to relieve lower back pain and softer materials under your shoulders—help promote proper spinal alignment.
Cooling Features
The cover is made with breathable organic cotton that sleeps cool. The dual-coil design promotes airflow too, helping disperse body heat.
The Helix has an optional cooling layer that you can add to the Midnight Luxe for an additional cost. This heat transfer layer has five ribbons of graphite (a cooling material), which has been shown to pull heat away from the body. The optional cooling cover for the pillow top (available for an additional cost) is made from a heat conductive fabric to draw heat away from the surface of the mattress.
Firmness Options
The Saatva Classic comes in three firmnesses: Plush Soft, Luxury Firm (most popular), and Firm. Plush Soft is ideal for side sleepers and lighter weight sleepers; Luxury Firm is ideal for couples with different preferences and suits all sleep styles; and Firm is ideal stomach sleepers and heavier weight sleepers 250-300 pounds.
The Helix Midnight Luxe has a medium feel, which the brand says is ideal for side sleeper support.
