There’s nothing quite like the buoyant, pressure-free support of natural latex. Our latex goes through a washing process to remove all allergy-causing proteins, so all you’re left with is pure, lasting comfort.

Every Saatva mattress is crafted when you order it. We assemble all our mattresses in America with care and pride, using only the highest quality, globally sourced materials. We could have settled on cheaper materials and produced our mattresses 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.
Every Saatva HD mattress features:
• Cover made with organic cotton
• Guardin™ botanical antimicrobial treatment
• Eco-friendly foams that are CertiPUR-US®* certified to meet their rigorous standards for emissions, content and durability
• Natural latex that's free of toxic chemicals, emissions, and pollutants
• Recycled steel coils
• Flame retardant barrier made from natural thistle pulp without toxic chemical sprays or fiberglass
• Base panels on our single-sided mattresses are made with REPREVE® recycled polyester which removes four single-use plastic bottles from the waste stream with every Queen mattress made
*CertiPUR-US® is a registered trademark of the Alliance for Flexible Polyurethane Foam, Inc.
Sit back and relax while we do all the work. Our free white glove delivery includes in-room delivery and set up. We'll even take away your old mattress at no additional cost to you. Just select free mattress removal at checkout.
At Saatva, we never pressure you to make up your mind quickly. All of our mattresses come with a 365-night home trial, so you have plenty of time to decide whether it’s right for you. If at any point during your home trial you’re not satisfied, just give us a call and we’ll come pick up the mattress and refund your money, less a $99 processing fee to cover our cost of gas and labor for the pickup. That’s it.
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.
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.
The natural latex we use in some of our mattresses, latex pillows, and latex mattress topper, goes through a thorough washing process to remove all allergy-causing proteins.
Additionally, the latex layer never actually comes into contact with the skin, making it safe even for those with latex allergies.
No. We never use fiberglass or toxic chemical flame retardants/barriers in any of our mattresses. Instead, we use either plant-based flame barriers, a Paladin flame barrier made with a blend of poly & rayon fibers, or organic New Zealand wool in our mattresses to meet federal safety standards.
The following Saatva mattresses use a natural, plant-based thistle flame retardant made of wood pulp bonded with a small amount of polyester:
• Saatva Classic
• Saatva HD
• Saatva Youth
• Memory Foam Hybrid (also contains natural wool as a flame retardant)
The following Saatva mattresses use 100% GOTS certified organic New Zealand wool as a natural flame retardant:
• Zenhaven Latex
• Saatva Latex Hybrid
• Crib Mattress
Solaire adjustable firmness mattress uses Paladin, which is composed of flame retardant rayon fibers blended with polyester fibers.
Contour5 memory foam mattress is covered on all six sides with a GREENGUARD®* Gold Certified natural flame barrier made of nontoxic cellulose fibers derived from tree byproducts.
Bunk & Trundle mattress uses a nontoxic natural thistle & wool blend flame barrier.
We do not use any harmful chemicals or sprays in any of our mattresses.
Our Zenhaven, Latex Hybrid, Saatva HD, and Solaire mattresses do not need to be rotated from head to foot. This is due to the 5-zone alignment of the latex layer in those mattresses.
Our other mattresses can be rotated. We recommend rotating the mattress after six months and then once a year after that. This will ensure that the surface of the mattress breaks in evenly.
As part of regular maintenance, vacuum your mattress at least twice a year to get rid of dust, crumbs, and other icky things that might be living in there. You can also deodorize your mattress by generously sprinkling it with baking soda. Leave it on for a full day and then vacuum it up to refresh your mattress.
Tip: Adding a mattress pad over your mattress gives it an added layer of protection from stains, moisture, and debris. Just make sure to wash your mattress pad regularly.

Picking the right mattress to help ease back pain starts with assessing your typical sleep position, then choosing a mattress firmness that best supports you in that position.
Saatva mattresses are the only ones with patented Lumbar Zone® Technology. That means every Saatva mattress is designed with dedicated lumbar support at the center third of the mattress where you need it most. Benefits of this lumbar zone support include better spinal alignment, circulation, and pressure relief.
No. Bed in a box (BIAB) mattresses are compressed, shrink-wrapped, folded, then rolled into a cardboard box for shipping. While this allows BIAB companies to save on freight costs, it takes a severe toll on the integrity of the foam mattress by breaking down the cell structure of the foams. It can also result in uneven firmness and sinking support in some areas, reducing the overall lifespan of the mattress.
We believe your bed deserves better than being stuffed in a box. That’s why all Saatva mattresses come with FREE white glove delivery and in-home set up. We even take away your old mattress for free!
Personal and aesthetic preferences are among the factors to consider when choosing the ideal mattress height/thickness. As a rule, mattress thickness alone is not an indicator of quality; that's more a function of mattress material and construction.
A thicker mattress might be right for you if:
• You have a larger body or are taller
• You want to get on and off your bed with ease
• Your bed frame or headboard requires a thicker/taller mattress
A thinner mattress might be right for you if:
• You don’t want to deal with a heavier mattress
• You're shorter and don’t want to climb up into bed
• You don’t want to purchase deep pocket or extra-deep pocket sheets
Below are the heights (or thicknesses) of our Saatva mattresses:
• Saatva Classic: 11.5" or 14.5"
• Contour5: 12.5"
• Latex Hybrid: 12"
• Zenhaven: 10"
• Saatva HD: 15.5"
• Solaire: 13"
• Memory Foam Hybrid: 11.5"
• Rx: 15"
If you place your mattress on a foundation, Saatva foundations are available in standard height (8.75") and low profile (4.75"). You can mix and match the thickness of a mattress and foundation to get the overall bed height that works best for you.

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 lifetime warranty specifies that if your platform bed has slats, it's highly recommended 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.
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.
Saatva mattresses are compatible with any bed frame, including our Saatva bed frames.
Our dual-sided Zenhaven latex mattresses cannot be placed directly on a platform bed frame with slats. You must cover the slats with a solid material, such as plywood or a bunkie board.
Non-platform (standard) bed frames require a foundation and can be paired with any mattress. Note that we strongly suggest pairing the Saatva HD with the HD foundation, which is specifically designed to give it optimal support.
A Split King mattress has the exact same dimensions as a king mattress, but made up of two separate Twin XL mattresses. This is a great option for those who have narrow entryways and staircases.
Split King is also a great option for couples who want a king size mattress, but have different firmness preferences. Simply order two separate Twin XL mattresses in different comfort/firmness options. If ordering two different mattress styles, be mindful of the mattress heights for each mattress.
Lastly, Split King mattresses are great paired with a Split King adjustable base so that each sleeper can control the head and foot incline/decline on their side independently from their partner.
To order a Split King consisting of two different mattress types, add the two Twin XLs you want to your cart separately rather than selecting Split King size. If you need any assistance placing the order, give our sleep guides a call at 877-672-2882.

We never resell returned mattresses. Instead, we donate them to veterans' shelters or offer them at cost to employees and associates across our network of more than 150 delivery partners.
Every Saatva mattress is made to order, which means they don't sit in storage.
Occasionally, we can shorten the delivery time when we have a change or cancellation from another order of the exact same product. This allows us to redirect that freshly made and sealed mattress to you. We’d love to help in any way if you need your mattress faster. Our friendly sleep guides are here for you 24/7 at 1-877-672-2882.
All of our mattresses are made to order and arrive to you factory fresh. That means the high-quality materials inside them need a little bit of time to soften up. You should notice your new mattress begin to conform to your body after a few days. You may even notice continuing improvement for up to a month.
Remember that your body will need some time to adjust to a brand new mattress. If you've been sleeping on an old mattress, your body likely got used to it, even if it didn't provide you with adequate support. That's why we give you a generous 365-night home trial to give you time to acclimate to your new mattress.
If after a month or so, you still feel that your mattress is too firm (or too soft), give us a call at 1-877-672-2882 and one of our friendly sleep guides will be happy to help you.

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 regular mattress 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.
Mattresses crafted 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 crafted 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 mattress manufacturers (like our network of 14 domestic factories) also work to minimize environmental impact by incorporating low-carbon-footprint processes and recycled materials into their products.
Laws in California, Connecticut, and Rhode Island require us to collect a small fee at checkout for every mattress, foundation, and adjustable base sold.
The fees are used to fund recycling efforts in these states, as part of a program called Bye Bye Mattress. This program is operated by the Mattress Recycling Council, a nonprofit organization started by the mattress industry. The fees go toward the collection and processing of discarded mattresses and foundations.
Per state laws, we have to collect the fee even if you don't plan on getting rid of your old mattress right now. Mattresses don't last forever—eventually, you'll have to discard your old one, and the fees will help cover the recycling costs when the time comes.
About 20 million mattresses end up in U.S. landfills every year—that's about 55,000 per day—and that can take a toll on the environment. Since 2015, Bye Bye Mattress has helped reduce the number of mattresses that end up in landfills by recycling six million mattresses.
Recycling a mattress has many benefits: It conserves resources, with recyclable materials such as foam padding, steel springs, and wooden frames being used to make new products; it creates recycling jobs; it reduces the number of illegally dumped mattresses; and it results in less reliance on landfills.

Find the right bed setup for you
Comfort starts from the ground up. The right bed base not only upgrades your sleep comfort, it can increase the lifespan of your mattress.
Let's break down all of the options:
This setup is great for:
- A sleek, low-profile look
- Those who prefer not to use a foundation or box spring
Compatible with:
Most mattresses
NOTE: Must add a solid surface over the slats such as plywood, masonite board, or bunkie board, when used with the dual-sided Zenhaven Natural Latex Mattress.
Foundation vs. box spring: What’s the difference?
A mattress foundation is a new & improved version of the old-fashioned box spring. Foundations use more stable wood support slats, while box springs use bouncier metal coils for support.
This setup is great for:
- Making your bed the focal point of your bedroom
- Giving added height to your mattress
- Mattresses that require solid surface support (no slats), like our Zenhaven Latex Mattress & Saatva HD
Compatible with:
All mattresses (Our Saatva HD requires the HD foundation for optimal support)
Foundation vs. box spring: What’s the difference?
A mattress foundation is a new & improved version of the old-fashioned box spring. Foundations use more stable wood support slats, while box springs use bouncier metal coils for support.

- Those who move often and don’t want to disassemble a large bed frame each time

All mattresses (Our Saatva HD requires the HD foundation for optimal support)

Made to order, never stuffed in a box
Every Saatva mattress is handcrafted and assembled when you order it. Unlike other internet mattresses, we'd never dream of compressing our premium beds into a small box. Doing so can reduce its lifespan and compromise your comfort.
See why we’re not a bed in a box
