This mattress seemed fine at first, but began to sag within about 3 years and now 5 years later there are multiple points at which the mattress is visibly sagging. Definitely avoid this one.

I purchased my first Saatva 6 years ago. It lasted for quite sometime before sagging started affecting my body. I got a replacement but had to pay 1/3 of the price of a new one. The 2nd mattress sagging occured within 5 months. Called and received a 3rd mattress. It is sagging within 2 months after being rotated twice. Me and my spouse weigh under 200 lbs. We had the bed frame and box springs checked and they are in good shape. I am convenced the pillow top is the problem. Spoke with rep and was told I can’t replace the mattress with another type, but I can get the same mattress. The 1.5 star is due to politeness of reps on the phone.

One year into owning a saatva luxury firm king, sag sag sag body impressions on both sides from waist up to shoulders, causing aches and pains in neck and shoulders
We read lots of reviews that were good before purchasing but we want a new bed and feel we waisted out money
Linda Lorine Reid
The company personnel were good to work with. I exchanged the first mattress with the most firm one. However, with in a year the mattress has humps and is very uncomfortable. We are both 220 pound side sleepers. We now need to get rid of the mattress somehow (?),somewhere (?)and start shopping again. Point of protest…. Don’t believe in Saava mattress comfort promises.
Sherry Lewis
Beware. I posted a 3 star review after 7 yrs of use on a 15 yr warranty. I received a call from saatva. I was told the saggy matterss wss my fault because i was now sleeping on my back rather than my side.
The sag was my fault not the mattress. I am replacing with a differnt brand that i actually tried before buying…warranty means nothing…$99 to have rebuilt? Where will you sleep while it is happening? Supply chain problems and trucking problems..hmmmm…

If you purchased a firmer mattress and don’t expect to sink too deeply, the traditional loft can work.
William I Howe
We bought a KING – and had to replace it before 3 months was up – TERRIBLE dual sag where we both sleep. (Happy to enclose pics of this) Wife says her shoulder pain from previous mattress (not SAATVA) has gone and like the Saatva, but uses multiple pillows to stay comfy.
I am a stomach sleeper – It is pretty much KILLING my lower back now. (And is well out of the replacement warranty time frame.) There really is no way I can recommend a SAATVA at this point. Not sure how much longer I can sleep with this mattress…
Maryanne Morris
We bought a luxury firm king mattress four years ago. Would not recommend this mattress. I read a lot on my bed and there is a big indentation where I sit. There is no support in the edges of this bed and I can feel every move my husband makes on his side. A waste of money. We will purchase anothet Simmons mattress soon?

Terrible after one year. Sags and causes hip and back pain, I hate it. I only weigh 120lbs.
Ashley Myers
You may want to check your math. 180 days is closer to six months if you use a 30 day month. Not four months
Also review Saatva’s warranty information and you’ll find that you are giving out incorrect information
We just got our Luxury Firm King 14.5 and now I’m worried after reading the other comments. I’ll follow up in a few months because we won’t wait past the 180 day period and be stuck being unable to return since I have the actual warranty in my hand. But so far, it sleeps wonderful. We did notice an odd “indention” along the bottom before we even began using so taking that into consideration after reading these comments.

WORST MATTRESS EVER DOG POOPIE SAGS NO WARRANTY REPLACED 3 TIMES UNDER WARRANTY DO NOT BUY THIS MATTRESS SAVE YOUR MONEY AND BUY A REAL MATTRESS NOT THIS ONE ITS THE WORSE I PROMISE YOU.THE ONLY THING THAT WAS OK WAS THE CUSTOMER SEERVICE.
Clifford R Stevens
Sagging after 9 months with chronic back pain caused by this, and the ‘luxury firm’ is anything but… Contacted Saatva and they will not replace mattress but will sell me another mattress at a 30% discount. Pass.
David W Krueger
Love my firm Saavta mattress. I recommend everyone to buy a Saavta,if they are in the market for a new mattress.
Brad
Worst mattress I have ever slept on. I didnt have back pain and neither did my wife until we started sleeping on a Saatva mattress. She weighs 115 pounds and I weigh 180 pounds. We had our mattress replaced thinking we got a bad one and this one is sagging already within a month. These Saatva mattresses are worse than the cheap mattresses sold on Amazon. Don’t buy.
Paul
Brought a Saatva Luxury Firm King about 4 years ago. Mattress started sagging about two years in. Causes neck & back pain. I have to spin the mattress every 2 weeks to make it bearable. Called customer service for warranty repair and received options to (1) pay %40 of original cost for a replacement mattress (my cost $599), OR pay $200 for them to pick up, repair and return the same bad mattress. I don’t want to throw more good money away on a bad mattress and think I’ll just trash it

Boy, do I hear ya! Somewhere between year two and three, and the edges of the bed, like where one SITS, started to crater. The whole edge of the mattress is now pointing towards the floor. I gotta quickly lay down to keep from slipping off onto the floor! GARBAGE!
Andy Schwalb
I ordered a Saatva Solair on Jan 4 2021. I am now Very frustrated with them. Ordered Jan 4 they took the full payment and March 9 still nothing. I keep contacting customer service and they just saying they are behind. The delivery date they gave when they happily took my money was Jan 26 at the latest. Buyer beware!
Robin
I bought a King Saatva Classic firm and it is sagging after a few years. They do offer a warranty of repair or replace but both options will cost you more money. Backaches and neck pain started after only a year. Do not believe all the good reviews. It is just not true. These mattresses are too expensive to sag like this after such a short. Customer service is poor. Can’t get anyone to return my call. Choose a different mattress if you can find one worth buying. Whatever happened to a good quality mattress?
Laur
I got a saatva hybrid in luxury firm and it’s probably the worst sleep I’ve ever had. I even tried putting foam mattress covers over it and it’s just bad.
I read a bunch of reviews before buying but it’s not living up to the hype. Multiple sites said it was good for bad backs and I’m having the worst shoulder and back pain of my life.
I can’t afford another one right now – mattresses aren’t cheap – and I’m outside of the 180 days. I recommend that you trust your instincts if you buy this and don’t like it after the first week.

Thanks for your valuable comment.

We just had the same experience. It was recommended to wait about 6-8 weeks to break it in, but we’re one week in and we’re both broken (and sleepless). Don’t get me wrong though, the adjustable and massage functions work great. The main thing though is getting through the night for a good night’s rest – we just didn’t see that happening and unfortunately had to send it back. Looks like the sofa until we can find something that works (the old one was taken away).
Nancy Pennewell
I have had it for a little over a year I think, I don’t sleep tried two different ones still bad sleep. I can’t afford to get another one
Guadalupe Baldwin
My husband likes his. He says it’s fine. It’s not the best sleep ever but fine for him. We sleep in an adjustable and we both have our own xtwin mattress. I have back pain every day. I waited too long and can’t return. I sleep on my side and ordered plush and wouldn’t recommend. My husband is back sleeper and likes his firm. I’m going back to good old Serta. I tried novaform memory foam from Costco (similar pain with that one). Then I bought the Sleep Number (hated it! Terrible back pain with zero support, we both hated it). My son sleeps on novaform now and he thinks it’s comfortable. So, mattress review are tough because preference is so subjective.

I have had my mattress 4 years. I tried to exchange it for a firm model within the year, but all I received was aggravation. It neither helps my back or my joints as I wake up with discomfort every morning. Advertising is bs. Customer service is bs. It sags and I can’t wait to rid myself of it. It’s too heavy to rotate, too heavy to remove to vac my frame. It’s just a bunch of baloney. Don’t believe all the reviews. Above all, don’t believe the Saatva advertising.
Steve Solberg
Did not even make it 2 years with a firm. Extreme sagging causing hip pain. This mattress should not be in the top 10 much less number 1.
Chris Greete
We bought 2 XL twin luxury firm saatva mattresses two and a half years ago. My husband and I have a combined weight of around three hundred and thirty pounds. The mattresses are sagging and causing both of us back pain. The company offered to sell us new ones at 40% off but we don’t want to spend that kind of money for mattresses that don’t last even 3 years. Very unhappy with our purchases.
Mike omalley
I’ve been waiting 6 weeks for this mattress And no one will even return a phone call . Everything is automated so you can’t even talk to anyone.. Beyond frustrated! Cant even cancel because no one will answer. Steer clear of this company

Any plans to review Saatva’s new Organic Hybrid Latex mattress?
Ravindra Jaganmohan
Hi
Based on your recommendation I placed an order for the Saatva Classic 11.5″ Luxury firm mattress. After reading now all the comments from people here I feel a little bit shaky on the purchase. have you heard of sagging issues on this mattress and how comfortable it is after the 120 days trial.
The reason I am asking this question is because I am right now left with a horrible queen mattress I bought from Mattress Firm which is beyond 120 day trial since i have started to have severe back and neck pain issues (I bought a Firm mattress based on the guys recommendation). I was so horrified with the pain one day that I thought i was having a heart attack because of the pain in my shoulder and arm :). I ended up in urgent care for no reason and all because of this horrible Beautyrest Hartfield 11.5″ Firm Mattress.
This Hartfield was a complete disaster for me since day one of sleeping on this firm mattress i have had nothing but aches and pain in spite of being very active, flexible and fit. I always thought it was me doing something wrong in my diet, posture etc.
Since doing much needed research including your recommendation i have placed the order for Saatva Classic mattress Luxury firm.
I am hoping this Saatva Classic luxury Firm should be better than any other mattress in terms of side sleeper support issues.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Steve
This mattress sounds great but can you get it delivered to Canada
Rich Murphy
I bought a Saavta bed for my wife and I about 4 years ago (queen). The first few years it was a great bed, 5 stars! But there are some problems with it sagging in the middle. My wife and are no more than 285 pounds combined so it’s not like we are putting a lot of weight on the bed. We have already flipped the mattress once and added a topper. But it’s to the point we notice it again and it’s impacting our sleep. I wanted to really like this bed, but they’re gonna have to fix this sagging issue. I have to go shop for a new bed now… Maybe an AmeriSleep.

We have the exact same issue and are also not overweight. We’ve never had a bed start sagging after only two years. Our backs can’t take it any more. We will not buy a saatva again.

Read their warranty–they will replace it!

Hi we purchased a saavta king size mattress they talked me into a firm and said most people like the firmness, BUT no good we sent it back it was way too firm. So we went with the plush which was good, unfortunately 2 years later the mattress is very uncomfortable it’s sagging, my head feels lower than my legs ugh!!! So disappointing!! Now we need to spend more money for another mattress. Together we’re approximately 400lbs.

I purchased my Saatva Mattress, firm, last year after giving up on a Serta. The first few weeks were wonderful but then the mattress started sagging in the center right where my hips are. It made it very uncomfortable for my herniated disc and for sciatica. While the mattress does not cost much, I am disappointed that it was gone in less than 1 year. I wish I had stored my Serta in another room.

hi,
i am only 110 lbs and have a bad back. i usually like a firm bed. will the luxury firm be from enough for me? i do not like the feel of being enveloped by a bed where it is difficult to turn over in it . does this bed feel this way? Tory

I think it could be a great option. It definitely doesn’t make it feel like your mattress is enveloping you. Let us know how it works out!

I purchased a SAATVA mattress, the California King in their softest option. I had done a lot of “research” and had slept for many years on an innerspring mattress I loved which had finally worn out. When the mattress was delivered, I was very impressed with how pretty it looked, and I was under the impression it was organic (it is not), but from the first night I had issues. First of all, it did not conform to my body and I was told it would take some time to break in. After a few weeks, when I didn’t feel this was happening, I was sent a topper which I was told other customers love and it would help during the break-in period. The topper came and it was also pretty and looked nice. After two nights of sleeping on it, I cut the cover off to see what was inside, and it was, and I do not exaggerate, a piece of the cheapest foam (not memory) and was even faded in big portions, like it had been used before or put out in the sun. I made another call and talked to a manager about sending out something like this and how it might affect consumer confidence about what was actually in the mattress itself, since I then had the most consuming desire to cut the mattress open and look in there, because as the nights wore on, I would sometimes have a few moments where I would think “this isn’t so bad” as I lay in bed, but more often couldn’t believe how it felt I was sleeping on a cardboard box with some flimsy foam and fabric on top. I bought a high-end cover from Seattle (LOVE IT) and tried a memory foam topper which got good reviews but the density was so poor it had no impact. I basically tried everything under the sun to make this mattress work as I didn’t want to send it back, have no mattress in my bedroom, and start down this road of research and possible failure again, but in the end, I had to send it back. So here’s the next part of the story. Because I had to do something immediately, I did further research, then went with what I found in a good price range (MUCH less than SAATVA) which was a Serta Perfect Sleeper, without a pillow-top, firm. I then purchased a DENSE 3″ memory foam mattress cover, as recommended by a couple of people on sites I had gone to. It conforms to my body but, unlike the COSTCO version I once had, does not make me feel sucked in and like I am sleeping in bread dough. So, that first night, I got up in this combination and actually felt like I had gone to bed-heaven. THIS. BED. IS. A. DREAM. I have back and neck issues, and am a side sleeper, so my arms often feel pinched off and this was especially bad on the SAATVA. Right now, I knock wood, and actually get nervous after all the bed drama I have been through that one night I will climb in and it won’t be this way, but it has been a while, and EVERY SINGLE NIGHT I get in bed and wonder how I got it so right, and also wonder where I can go to inform others. First of all, stay away from built in pillow-tops. Get a well-built mattress (Serta is the best selling in the world, and if I get 8 years out of it sleeping like this, I’ll buy another. Much less, as I said, than SAATVA), get a high density memory foam (3″ and something like 6-8 lbs works beautifully for me), and cover it well (Slumbercloud is what I bought and it keeps cool, looks beautiful, and is worth the money). All, in, I have LESS than I did for SAATVA but the sleeping experience is like sleeping on the ground vs. sleeping, literally, in a cloud. I don’t want to jinx myself and my great luck in finding the perfect combination, but I doubt ANYONE wouldn’t feel the same about my bed. If I had a SAATVA and this side by side, the comparison would be laughable. All that said, the customer service at SAATVA is absolutely superior. The are professionals in that way. But I can’t sleep on customer service. The bed has to be up to snuff. Mine now is, and I hope someone who is up nights unable to sleep looking for the best bed option to stop the madness finds this post, and is able to get some valuable information to help them in their search.

I called 1 wk. ago for an exchange to a firm. I received my mattress today. I immeadiately feel the difference. After

Please share your experience good and bad using Saatva twin beds, adjustable. We will be replacing a king, nonadjustable. Is the Saatva the best choice or can you recommend something better?
Does it Work on Adjustable Beds?
Yes – I have had a very positive experience using mine in combination with
Saatva’s Lineal adjustable base.
Replies
Jess RJ
I haven’t used the twin option. If you’re looking specifically for something that’s adaptable with an adjustable base, I always recommend foam or latex products without an innerspring unit to cause the mattress to stay stiff when you try to adjust. In the Saatva line, I’d go with Zenhaven. It’s made of latex and is very easy to use on adjustable bases.
