Although company representatives wouldn’t divulge specifics, we were told that the memory foam is at least 3 pounds per cubic foot, and the polyfoam density is 1½ pounds per cubic foot. The foam densities in the Saatva Classic are less than those in the Loom & Leaf, the company’s foam-mattress offering. And since there is the option of an 11½-inch thickness (instead 14½ inches), the bed is easier to crawl into, especially when paired with a low frame. It may also be a good choice for those with mobility issues: Better resilience means the sleeper will have an easier time rolling from one position to another. Because of the somewhat assertive springiness, the Plush Soft would probably work best for people who have the whole bed to themselves. It’s a good choice for those who insist on excellent edge support while also seeking a more-traditional-feeling innerspring and a looser pillowy cradle. “Perfect for those who like to sleep on trampolines,” one tester said, half-joking. The Saatva Classic Plush Soft also felt somehow bouncier than the Luxury Firm did-which was off-putting for many. In January 2022, we included the Plush Soft version in a small group test of soft mattresses, but it didn’t garner as many fans in its price category as the Luxury Firm had in our previous test. We’ve also slept on the Saatva Latex Hybrid, and we’ve researched the components and construction of the rest of the beds in Saatva’s lineup. Over the past two years, we’ve group-tested the innerspring Saatva Classic, the memory-foam Loom & Leaf, and the all-latex Zenhaven, and they’ve consistently earned a spot among our top picks in our guides to the best foam mattresses and the best innerspring mattresses.

But we find Saatva’s mattresses to be among the most elegant-looking and thoughtfully designed options available from an online company. Sure, there’s a whole galaxy of mattresses that are more luxurious than Saatva’s, with higher coil counts and finer materials. And even though, like other online sellers, it has rapidly expanded its line, Saatva remains focused on a range of “luxury” designs, all costing, with the exception of its Youth model, more than $1,500 (for a queen). It delivers its mattresses via truck, instead of in a box. In the crowded field of online mattresses, Saatva stands apart in fundamental ways.
