(Cushy beds, including the Casper Original, tend to leave her lower back feeling strained). Our tester loved sleeping on it on her stomach, which goes to show that it was nowhere near your run-of-the-mill soft mattress. The “luxury firm” version we tested will likely be too firm for some, even though the website describes it as medium-firm. (For reference, many other mattresses we’ve tested simply collapse beneath the bag, letting it easily roll off.) It comes in three firmness levels When we rolled a heavyweight bag to the edge of the mattress, it withstood the pressure until the bag was nearly halfway off the bed and gravity took over. The edge was nowhere near as supportive as that of the Saatva, which easily withstood pressure and showed no signs of buckling under my arms or torso when I rolled toward it. When I welcomed my next mattress onto my bed frame, I tried to lean on the edge of the bed while on a Facetime call with my partner. I didn’t realize just how great the edge support was until I bid the Saatva adieu.

This quality is hard to come by in online beds, especially foam mattresses. The Saatva Classic sets itself apart with its outstanding edge support. Other mattresses I’ve reviewed sometimes smelled for weeks-the Saatva was delightfully smell-free from night one. Saatva never compresses its mattresses, as each is “made to order-meaning freshly made,” according to a customer service representative.ĭuring my first night with the mattress, I was thrilled by the complete absence of any chemical odor. That new mattress smell is because of the products being wrapped in plastic. Plus, you won’t have to worry about off-gassing as you would with most mattresses in a box. The best part? The delivery service is included with the cost of the mattress. Saatva takes that out of the equation entirely by coordinating with local delivery agencies to bring the bed not just to your doorstep, but into the house and onto your frame-a huge relief. I’m pretty experienced at finagling queen-size beds in and out of my tiny apartment these days, but I don’t enjoy the process. I’ve moved many mattresses to date-more than 10, in fact. While she’s not a back sleeper, she thinks its surface would lend it well to this sleep position, too. In our tester’s experience, it worked well for both sleep positions. It’s not uncomfortable for side sleepers, nor is it so soft that stomach sleepers will feel strain in their lumbar spine. The bed is pleasantly firm, but strikes a great balance. The Saatva mattress doesn’t come in a box-and it doesn’t feel like a mattress that would, either. The firm mattress feels like a traditional bed


The Saatva Classic has unbeatable edge support.
