Saatva Classic Mattress

No. It’s part of our pledge to be honest and transparent about what you’re buying. Saatva is committed to giving you honest guidance, even if it means directing you to another mattress brand that’s a better fit for you. In a retail store environment, a commissioned employee makes more money when they sell you a particular brand, so you may get pressured into a choice that’s not right for you. That’s just not the Saatva way.

The innerspring mattress gets its name from the metal support coil (also called springs) that form the core of the bed. This traditional mattress type is known for its classic springy, bouncy feel. A basic innerspring mattress will last you about 7-8 years.

In general, conventional mattresses are designed to support people weighing up to 250 pounds. Because of our durable, high-quality materials and tempered support coils, our Saatva Classic can support sleepers up to 300 pounds per side. For mattress sizes that can accommodate two sleepers, like queens and kings, that’s up to 300 pounds per side of the bed or a 500-pound total weight limit.

Those weighing more than 300 pounds would sleep better on a heavy duty hybrid (like our Saatva HD) or innerspring. Our Saatva HD mattress is designed to comfortably support up to 500 pounds per side. Our Solaire adjustable mattress is also a great option for all sleepers, including those weighing over 300 pounds. It offers fully customizable firmness options and can support up to 500 pounds per side.

Generally speaking, coil count is a good indicator of the overall comfort, support, and durability that a mattress offers. The number of coils in a mattress depends on its size. Typically, the standard for queen innerspring mattresses is 800 coils. The queen size of our Saatva Classic Innerspring Mattress features 884 individually pocketed coils that responds to your movements and limits motion transfer.

The main difference between an innerspring mattress and a foam mattress comes down to the materials. An innerspring has a core support system made of coiled metal springs, while a foam mattress is made up of layers of polyurethane foams. Memory foam mattresses generally offer a body-hugging feel. Innerspring mattresses generally have a bouncy, springy feel.

While both mattress types have a lot of inherent differences, the choice between the two really comes down to individual preferences. That's why a great in-home trial period (like our 180-day home trial) is so crucial to making the most confident choice in your next mattress.

Pocket coils are individually wrapped metal spring coils found in some innerspring mattresses (like our Saatva Classic). The two main advantages to individually pocketed coils are 1) that they conform and respond to your curves better than open coils and 2) they limit motion transfer because the coils move independently.

Foams that are CertiPUR-US® certified are guaranteed to be low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), so you don’t have to worry about off-gassing odors. CertiPUR-US certified foams are also guaranteed to be free of ozone depleters, PBDEs, TDCPP, and TCEP flame retardants, mercury, lead, and other heavy metals, formaldehyde, and phthalates.

Our exclusive antimicrobial treatment by Guardin™ is made with a proprietary blend of all-natural essential oils and minerals. This blend includes thyme, geranium, lemongrass, and mint, but is completely odorless and colorless.

It naturally inhibits the growth of bacteria, mold, mildew, and the discoloration that they can cause on the surface of a mattress. Guardin™ antimicrobial treatment is biodegradable and does not contain any fluorocarbons, toxic heavy metals, silver nanotechnology, triclosan, formaldehyde or phthalates.

If you choose a Lineal adjustable base, you will need to pair it with the 11.5"" Saatva Classic mattress. Quality and comfort are identical between the 11.5"" and 14.5"" heights, but the thicker mattress does not have the flexibility required to work with an adjustable base.

There's absolutely no difference in feel and durability between them. The two height options are mainly aesthetic and based on your bed height preference or if you plan to use your mattress with an adjustable base.

NOTE: The 14.5" mattress is NOT compatible with adjustable bases.

The height difference is created in the base coil unit. The 11.5" mattress coils take two less turns than the 14.5". This does not affect the overall feel and durability of the mattress, only its height.
