Saatva Latex Mattress Review

If you're on the hunt for a hybrid mattress that combines the numerous benefits of innerspring coils and natural latex, you might want to check out the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress. This 12-inch mattress features an organic wool layer, Talalay latex foam, and a zoned pocketed coil system. Its medium-firm feel makes it a solid choice for most side, back, and stomach sleepers. Its latex layer offers excellent pressure relief, temperature regulation, and responsiveness, while the coil support system provides edge reinforcement, airflow, and overall body support.

Could this be the eco-friendly latex mattress you've been looking for? In our unbiased Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress review, we'll go through everything you need to know about this mattress, including its construction, pricing, performance, and company policies. We'll also compare the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress to other mattresses to help you decide whether it's the right bed for you.

Mattress Design and Performance

Now that you have an idea of what the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress is made of, let's take a look at how it performs with regard to temperature regulation, motion transfer, edge support, and more. 

Mattress Firmness

To begin understanding whether a certain mattress is suitable to your unique needs, you must first look at its firmness level and feel. These vital factors will tell you much about whether your mattress is an ideal pick for your sleeping position and other preferences.

We ranked this latex hybrid mattress around 7.5/10 on the firmness scale, which is slightly higher than the industry standard for a medium-firm mattress. This suggests that the Saatva Latex Hybrid is a touch firmer than medium-firm. While the top layers feature responsive latex foam, the bed's firmer support layer underneath balances out this softness, creating a medium-firm feel.

Keep in mind that mattress firmness is a bit subjective, so you may find this mattress slightly firmer or softer than our assessment based on your body weight and preferences. For instance, if you're a heavyweight sleeper, you may think the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress feels a bit firmer.

Given that this latex hybrid mattress contains pocketed coils and latex foam, it's unsurprising that it is supportive and has a bouncy and responsive feel. You should have an easy time moving around the surface and switching positions.

Temperature Regulation

The Saatva Latex Hybrid is a very breathable mattress. It features many breathable materials that help keep the surface cool throughout the night. For starters, Its coil support system creates enough room for airflow through the midsection of the mattress, preventing it from trapping excessive body heat.

The organic cotton and wool layer wicks away moisture from the sleeper's body, which then dissipates through the all-natural Talalay latex. This layer is ventilated with tiny holes for maximum air circulation. What's more, latex foam won't trap excess heat and moisture as traditional memory foam.

Another factor that plays a significant role here is Saatva’s medium-firm feel. Most average weight sleepers will sleep “on” the surface rather than sink deep into it. This prevents heat from getting trapped around the sleeper's body.

Motion Isolation

As a general rule, latex mattresses don't handle motion isolation pretty well, as they're bouncy and highly responsive compared to foam mattresses. This holds true for the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress. It doesn't do an excellent task of minimizing motion transfer across the surface, so it's possible that you could feel your partner's movements at night

As with most hybrid beds, individually encasing the coils goes a long way toward preventing nighttime disturbances. It enables these coils to respond to movements instead of being interconnected like traditional innerspring.

However, between the bounciness of the pocketed coils and the springiness of latex, you'll likely feel movement from your partner to a certain extent when changing sleep positions. If you're a sensitive sleeper, you may want to opt for a less responsive all-foam mattress.

Edge Support

A reinforced coil system around the perimeter of the bed lends excellent edge support to the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress. This is great news for individuals who depend on their mattress edges for getting in and out of bed. Sturdy edges are also beneficial for sleepers who share their Saatva mattresses as they allow each individual to sleep next to the edge without any feelings of roll-off.

Pressure Relief

Most sleepers experience above-average pressure relief from this Saatva Mattress. This is unsurprising given Saatva's medium firmness level. While it doesn't hug the body like a memory foam mattress, the latex foam is soft enough to cushion painful pressure points in most sleepers. Plus, its zoned coil system helps offer a deep cradle for heavier parts of the body that often dig deeper into the surface.

However, individuals in other weight groups might feel more pressure. For instance, lightweight sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds may find the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress too soft. If you fall into this category, we recommend a softer mattress that can conform more closely to the body. On the other hand, heavyweight sleepers weighing more than 230 pounds are likely to find this bed too soft for comfort.

Responsiveness

Like other latex mattresses, this hybrid model from Saatva is responsive and bouncy, thanks to the perfect combination of individually wrapped coils and latex foam. So, you should expect it to quickly adapt to your body movements without creating any sinking feel. Generally, responsive beds, such as the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress, are suitable for combination sleepers, who often change sleep positions and individuals who prefer extra bounce in their mattresses. If you're on the hunt for a medium-firm, supportive, and responsive bed, this mattress might be a perfect fit for you.

Mattress Safety

The Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress features multiple safety certifications, which show that it's made of eco-friendly materials and free of harmful substances. They include:

• GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) - Certifies that the latex foam used for construction is organic and sustainable.
• GreenGuard Gold - Certifies that your product meets the most stringent standards for indoor air quality and low VOCs (volatile organic compounds) emission.
• GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) - Certifies that your mattress has wool and cotton materials that are organic and free of toxic chemicals. 
• ECO-INSTITUTE - Certifies that your mattress doesn't contain hazardous substances and odors.  
   

Performance with Couples

Overall, most couples will opt for a sleep surface that combines sturdy edge support, responsiveness, motion isolation, and cooling. You'll also want to consider how your mattress absorbs movement and whether it's an ideal mattress for sex. In general, we think the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress scored pretty well in all these categories. While it transferred some motion during our second stage review process, its effective cooling components and latex foam’s bounciness make it an ideal pick for most couples out there. You should be able to change positions easily at night and during sex. 

What's more, they shouldn't overheat during the night, even with double the heat in the mattress. The inclusion of a coil support system and latex foam enables it to promote maximum airflow and regulate temperature. The edge support on the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress is also strong, so active couples should be able to sleep comfortably and use the entire mattress surface without worrying about falling or sinkage around the sides. 

Sleeping Positions and Body Weight

Mattress preferences are usually influenced by various factors, including a sleeper's weight and preferred sleep position. We tested the Saatva Latex Hybrid with different sleeping position preferences and proportions to clearly understand how sleeping position and body weight may impact its performance. 

Back Sleepers

The Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress is suitable for back sleepers in various sleep categories, especially individuals weighing less than 130 pounds. Generally, back sleepers need a sleep surface that offers an even balance of body support and pressure relief. Saatva's balanced feel and medium firmness suit light sleepers who weigh less than 130 pounds, as these individuals don't put as much pressure on their mattresses. Plus, the zoned support system helps support the lumbar region and prevents sagging around the hips, which promotes proper spinal alignment. Most individuals find that hybrid mattresses offer sturdy support for heavyweight sleepers, and this holds true for the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress as well. Sleepers who weigh more than 230 pounds should sleep fairly comfortably on this mattress. However, they may experience some sinkage around the hip region due to the plusher latex.

Side Sleepers

The Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress earns excellent ratings from many side sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds, thanks to its slightly plusher top layer. Side sleepers usually experience painful pressure points around their shoulders and hips as these heavier body parts dig into the surface. The zoned pocketed coil system helps promote proper spinal alignment by pushing back more around the lumbar region, while the latex foam layer forms a loose cradle that helps soothe these pressure points.

Heavyweight side sleepers should also find this bed comfortable, with the coil system offering much-needed targeted support. However, lightweight side sleepers weighing less than 130 pounds may find the Saatva Latex Hybrid too stiff. If you fall into this category, you'll be better off with a softer mattress that contours closely.

Stomach Sleepers

Just like back sleepers, stomach sleepers need added body support from their sleep surface. This keeps the heavier hip region from sinking deep into the surface and putting strain on the neck and back. The Saatva Latex Hybrid has a medium firm feel that should keep the hip region properly aligned in most individuals who sleep on their stomach. With the exception of lightweight sleepers, most sleepers should find this latex hybrid mattress more comfortable. While it does an excellent task of offering sufficient support to stomach sleepers who weigh less than 230 pounds, heavier individuals may find it too soft to support the weight around their hip region.

Maximum Body Weight

According to the manufacturers, the Saatva Latex Hybrid is specially designed to give optimal body support for people who weigh up to 300 pounds. This weight limit applies to their standard size models, which can hold a total of 300 pounds, and even the split king version, which supports the same weight on each side. Sleepers who weigh over 300 pounds may want to opt for a mattress designed for heavyweight sleepers, such as the Saatva HD.

Which Frame is Best Used with the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress?

The Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress works well with all several mattress foundations, including adjustable bed frames, box springs, and platform beds. You can also use it with the Saatva bed frames, such as the Saatva Adjustable Base and the Base PLUS.

Keep in mind that slatted bed frames are not suitable for this mattress as they may not offer enough durability and support for the coil and latex layers. These bed frames can also cause premature sagging, which can significantly affect your mattress' comfort and lifespan. That said, if you want to use your slatted bed frame with the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress, we recommend covering the open slats with solid materials like a bunkie board, as this hybrid bed needs solid support.

Mattress Offers

The Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress comes with several offers to help sleepers customize their sleep environment without breaking the bank. For starters, you can take advantage of the current President's Day Sale and save up to $600 on your mattress purchase. You also have an option of adding two high loft Saatva Latex Pillows and saving $40. Other mattress offers include discounted bed frames, such as the Saatva Adjustable Base Plus, which currently goes for $1,499.

Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress Comparisons

Now that we have a clear picture of the Saatva Latex Hybrid's performance let's see how it stacks up against competitor mattresses, such as the Saatva Classic, PlushBeds Pillowtop Mattress, and more.

Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress vs Saatva Classic Mattress

Starting with price, the Saatva Classic Mattress is a more affordable option of the two, coming in at $1,695 for the queen-size model. You'll have to pay approximately $1,900 for a Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress of the same size. Both mattresses have a coil support system, which helps keep hot sleepers cool at night. However, the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress features latex foam and organic wool, along with the coil system, making it an ideal pick for strict hot sleepers. When it comes to body weight, we noticed that the Classic model works pretty well for heavyweight back sleepers. However, it's not firm enough to satisfy the needs of heavy stomach sleepers and is too firm for heavier side sleepers. 

Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress vs The Signature Bliss by PlushBeds

Like the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress, the Signature Bliss from PlushBeds is made of natural latex, a breathable, hypoallergenic, and durable material. This layer also provides excellent pressure relief and motion isolation. Both models feature a coil support system that offers extra body support and airflow. While the Saatva Latex Hybrid is only available in one firmness level, the Signature Bliss allows sleepers to choose from up to four firmness levels. This makes it an ideal pick for a wide range of sleepers. When it comes to price, the Saatva Latex Hybrid is more expensive compared to the Signature Bliss. That said, you may want to opt for the Saatva Latex Hybrid if you prefer a more supportive and responsive sleep surface with a medium-firm feel. Alternatively, the Signature Bliss is a solid choice for individuals who like a more customizable and cozy bed with a wide range of firmness levels. 

Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress vs Molecule Reflex Hybrid 13” Mattress

The main difference between this latex hybrid mattress and the Molecule Reflex Hybrid 13 “ model is the construction. As a hybrid mattress, the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress boasts a coil support system, making it bouncier and responsive compared to the Molecule Reflex Hybrid 13-inch. In contrast, the Molecule Reflex Hybrid bed features an AirTEC responsive foam, liftcor body boost technology, and a MOLECULEedge innerspring system to offer hyper-targeted body support and cooling comfort. While both of these beds work well for heavyweight sleepers, thanks to their hybrid construction, heavier side sleepers who prefer a softer feel might want to go for the Molecule Reflex Hybrid, and stomach sleepers may like the additional support and firmness the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress offers. 

Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress vs Nolah 11”

Like the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress, the Nolah Natural is a latex hybrid mattress with a GOTS-certified organic cotton cover, responsive Talalay latex foam, and a coil support system. It also comes in a medium firm feel, making it an ideal pick for a wide range of sleepers. Both of these beds are solid choices for hot sleepers, as they're both hybrid models with coils in their support system, which promote maximum airflow. What's more, they have latex and wool throughout their layers, which help regulate body temperature. When it comes to price, the Saatva Latex Hybrid is more expensive compared to the Nolah Natural 11” Mattress. If you're a budget shopper, you may want to opt for the Nolah Natural 11” Mattress. 

Closing Thoughts

Overall, the Saatva Latex Hybrid is a top-quality and eco-friendly bed that delivers a medium-firm feel, maximum pressure relief, and overall body support. It also comes with a lifetime warranty and a 365-night trial period that allows sleepers to test their hybrid mattress for up to a year and return it for a refund if it doesn't suit their needs. We recommend it to sleepers who love a balanced and responsive feel and individuals who prefer natural and organic mattress materials.
