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.

A latex mattress is made from 100% natural latex from the sap of the rubber tree. A natural latex mattress can last up to 20 years, making it one of the longest-lasting mattress types on the market.

Up to 20 years with normal use.

No. Since natural latex is a plant-based material and doesn't emit VOCs (volatile organic compounds), you don't have to worry about chemical odors that come from off gassing.

Yes! Latex mattresses are contouring yet responsive, giving you a balance of comfort and support to ensure proper spinal alignment. Our Zenhaven latex mattress also has enhanced lumbar support to keep your back from sinking out of alignment.

For more severe back issues, our natural latex mattress is compatible with an adjustable base, allowing you to lift your legs and head to take more pressure off of your back.

Latex mattresses have an open cell structure that makes them naturally breathable, so your body stays at a comfortable temperature throughout the night. Our Zenhaven 100% natural latex mattress is made even more breathable thanks to its organic cotton cover and New Zealand wool layer, which is known to naturally regulate body temperature.

Latex mattresses are made from natural latex whereas memory foam mattresses are made from various types of high-density polyurethane foam. Latex mattresses that are made of 100% natural latex are biodegradable, hypoallergenic, and generally more eco-friendly.

While both latex and memory foam mattresses contour to your body's curves and reduce motion transfer, latex mattresses push back more against your weight, giving you a greater sense of buoyancy rather than the "sinking" feeling you might get from some memory foam.

It depends on your personal preferences and budget. You might sleep better on a natural latex mattress if:

• you prefer more contouring support with a buoyant feel and less motion transfer
• you suffer from indoor allergies and want a hypoallergenic mattress that's naturally resistant to dust mites
• you want a more eco-friendly, biodegradable mattress
• you want a longer-lasting mattress. A basic innerspring will last around 7-8 years, but a high-quality natural latex mattress can last up to 20 years with normal use.

In most cases, someone with a latex allergy should be able to sleep on a latex mattress because the latex foam used in latex mattresses are washed multiple times to remove the proteins responsible for allergies. Most allergic reactions come from direct skin contact with latex, so sleeping on a latex mattress shouldn't be an issue. Our Saatva Latex Hybrid has a layer of hypoallergenic organic wool and an organic cotton cover above the latex layers.

Our Zenhaven latex mattress is compatible with most foundations, box springs, platform beds, and adjustable bases.

The Zenhaven 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 two-sided mattress.

Although comfort is highly subjective, here are some key comfort benefits that might lead you to decide on a latex mattress:

• Latex foam is naturally breathable because of its open cell structure, making it a cooler option if you tend to sleep hot.
• The 5-zone natural latex we use in our Zenhaven natural latex mattress gives you enhanced lower back support and excellent pressure-point relief for optimal spinal alignment and improved circulation.
• Latex foam gives you a balance of contouring and responsive support, resulting in a buoyant, almost weightless feel.
• The unique flippable design of our Zenhaven latex mattress gives you two comfort levels in one

A natural latex mattress is a great option if you want a balance of contouring and responsive support. If you suffer from indoor allergies, latex mattresses are naturally hypoallergenic and resistant to dust mites. Latex mattresses are also one of the longest-lasting mattresses available, lasting up to 20 years with normal use.

Just like breaking in a new pair of leather shoes, your body might need some time to adapt to a new latex mattress, especially if you've never slept on one before. Because our Zenhaven natural latex mattress are made fresh to order, some customers find that it takes a bit longer for their mattress to relax and feel "just right". That's why we give you a generous 180-night home trial, so there's no pressure to make up your mind quickly.

The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the leading textile processing standard for organic fibers. Fabrics that carry the GOTS symbol must be made with at least 95% organic fiber, free of toxic chemicals, colored with nontoxic dyes, and meet strict social and environmental criteria. Our Zenhaven Latex Mattress features 100% GOTS certified organic cotton and wool.

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.

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.
