FAQsFrequently asked questions
Our factory handcrafts our upholstered furniture using kiln dried rubberwood or acacia hardwoods.
A bed base is designed to give your mattress optimal support and raises your sleeping surface to an ideal height. Bed bases can either be adjustable (like Saatva adjustable bases) or static (like our mattress foundation). Both types can be used alone or on top of a bed frame.
Bed bases typically don’t come with a headboard, although a separate headboard can be attached to our universal metal frame (sold separately) that the Saatva mattress foundation can sit on.
A bed frame typically comes with some type of headboard and can be made of wood, metal, or upholstered in fabric or leather. There are a variety of bed frame styles to choose from, but a bed frame’s purpose is more decorative than strictly functional. Some people also use their bed frames for added storage space under the bed, either with built-in drawers or under-bed organizers.
Remove stains, spills, and dirt as soon as possible by treating with a mild, water-free dry-cleaning solvent. Vacuum to remove dust and dirt. Do not use water.
Placing your mattress on top of a supportive mattress base like a mattress foundation or platform bed raises your sleep surface to an adequate height, making it easier to get in and out of bed and also reducing contact with allergens from the floor like dust and mold. Perhaps more importantly, having a good bed base ensures that your mattress provides you with its most optimal support.
Another good reason to have an adequate bed base is your mattress warranty. Some warranties specify that the mattress has to be used on either a foundation, box spring, or a platform bed base for the warranty to remain valid. Check out our warranties page for more details about each mattress warranty.
Our adjustable bases are compatible with most styles of bed frames except for our Sydney and storage bed frame styles.
You can put your mattress directly on the floor, although that can create other issues with allergens, dust, and mold. This might also make your mattress too low to the ground, making it more difficult to get in and out of bed, particularly if you have any mobility issues.
If you suffer from chronic back pain, acid reflux, and/or snoring, an adjustable bed base just might be the relief you've been dreaming of. An adjustable bed is also a great idea if you enjoy reading, watching TV, or working from the comfort of your bed. When you consider the number of hours you spend in bed, the cost of a great-quality adjustable base is a great investment toward your overall comfort and sleep health.
A foundation can be covered in fabric or have an exposed wood frame, with a solid top or one made of wood slats.The main purpose of a mattress foundation is to raise your sleeping surface to a comfortable height and give your mattress optimal support.
Saatva Adjustable Base has the essential features elevating the head and feet for customized
Saatva Adjustable Base PLUS is a deluxe version with several added features such as full body massage, custom presets, and under-bed lighting.
Both adjustable bases feature wireless remotes, zero-clearance design (removable legs) for use on platform bed frames, and a quiet, discreet motor.
Our platform bed frames can be used with any Saatva mattress.
Please note: In order to pair a slatted platform bed frame with our Zenhaven dual-sided natural latex mattress, you must cover the slats with a solid material, such as plywood or our premium 2" bunkie board
Saatva standard (non-platform) bed frames are compatible with our Saatva 4.75" mattress foundation. If you choose to use a foundation that is thicker than 5", it will be visible above our standard bed frame side rails.
Our platform bed frames DO NOT require the addition of a foundation or box spring.
Saatva adjustable bases are compatible with all Saatva bed frames except for the Sydney solid platform bed frame (because it doesn’t have side rails to hide the adjustable base) and storage bed frames.
They're also compatible with most other bed frames. Contact the manufacturer of your non-Saatva bed frame to make sure it's compatible with an adjustable base.
Saatva bases have adjustable legs that go up in half-inch increments for bed height options of 13" to 18" to accommodate different frame styles. Its zero clearance design is compatible with most platform beds and allows the adjustable base to be used without legs.
Remember that our FREE white glove delivery service includes not only free in-room delivery, but also free assembly & setup.
NOTE: Adjustable bases are not compatible with platform beds that have drawers and may not work with some upholstered headboards with extra thick upholstery padding.
Adjustable bases work with mattresses that are designed to flex without shifting the inner materials or weakening the structure.
