Whether a mattress is a good choice for a particular person is largely subjective-one person’s dream can be another’s nightmare. We haven’t lab-tested the current Saatva Classic, but as a 5’7”, 128-pound side sleeper, I’ve found it to be nicely supportive yet cushy during my evaluation at home.

The exceptions were petite side sleepers and large back sleepers, who experienced only average support. Our 2017 lab tests found that an older version of the Saatva Classic in Luxury Firm provided terrific support for almost all sleepers.

It has very little of the hugginess you’d expect from a hybrid mattress, which usually incorporates thicker layers of foam. Despite the Saatva Classic being described as a “hybrid innerspring” on the company’s website, I’ve found, by sleeping on it at home, that our mattress actually feels like a traditional innerspring.(This is still cheaper than penalties you’ll find in typical walk-in store policies, however.)

While the company will pick up your mattress and send you a refund if you don’t like it within the 365-night trial window, you’ll be charged a $99 “processing” fee.

Unlike other popular mattress-in-a-box brands, Saatva returns are not completely free.

And you can use it right away, without waiting hours or days for your bed to puff up to its full size and for the “new mattress smell” to dissipate.

This direct-to-consumer innerspring comes ready-to-use via movers, so you don’t need to struggle with unboxing and unfurling it (something rarely as fun in real life as it looks on TikTok).
