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.

If you weigh more than 230 pounds, a firmer mattress will support you better than a softer one. A medium-firm comfort level is a good choice for keeping your spine in healthy alignment without sagging. The best mattress for heavy people is one with reinforced durability features like the 12.5-gauge tempered steel coils and high-density foam edge support in our Saatva HD.

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 ( in sizes that accommodate two sleepers). 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.

These are mattresses (typically a hybrid with both innersprings and foam components) that are specifically engineered to give optimal comfort, support, and durability for sleepers who weigh more than 250 pounds.

Yes. For optimal, long-lasting support, we strongly recommend pairing our Saatva HD mattress with our HD foundation. It's stronger than a typical foundation or box spring and specifically designed for the Saatva HD mattress. You can also place your HD mattress on a solid platform bed frame (no slats) with a vertical center support. The Saatva HD 20-year warranty specifies that if your platform bed has slats, it's required that you apply a layer of solid surface (i.e. plywood, masonite board) over the slats to achieve a uniform surface to preserve the longevity and integrity of your Saatva HD mattress.

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.

No, the Saatva HD mattress is not designed to be used with an adjustable base. Because it is 15.5 inches thick and engineered for maximum durability and support, with 12.5-gauge tempered steel coils, the Saatva HD will not flex on an adjustable base. For best performance, we recommend pairing the HD mattress with the HD foundation, which is stronger than a typical foundation or box spring. The HD mattress can also be used on a solid platform bed with vertical center support.

Yes! Every Saatva mattress is made to order and handcrafted in America with care and pride, using only the highest quality, consciously sourced materials. We could have settled on cheaper materials and produced our products elsewhere for higher profits, but we've never wavered in our commitment to quality. We believe it's the right thing to do for our customers, our American workers, and our economy.

Mattresses made in the U.S.A. must meet strict health, safety, and environmental standards. The U.S. and the E.U. have the toughest regulations, but other countries may not offer the same protections.

Knowing where your mattress is made makes it easier to ensure that the manufacturer adheres to guidelines that protect workers from danger and exploitation, such as labor regulations and minimum-wage laws. Reputable mattresses manufacturers (like our network of 19 independent factories across the U.S.) also work to minimize environmental impact by incorporating low-carbon-footprint processes and recycled materials into their products.
