Additional Information

General Description

Saatva mattresses are handcrafted and American-made, built for luxury comfort and maximum sustainability.  Here are the key features of the Saatva 11.5" Luxury Firm model.

Luxury Firm Comfort (Our Flagship Level)

The standard comfort level used in the finest hotels in the world, where their goal is to ensure every guest gets a great night sleep. Luxury Firm offers the perfect balance of cushion firm and contouring support. This assures proper spinal alignment with our premium foam cushion layers for the ultimate and most comfortable sleep experience. Whether you sleep on your side, back or stomach, you will be very happy with this comfort level. It is a true medium firm — not too hard or too soft. The Luxury Firm is rated the "#1 comfort choice" in the ultra premium mattress classification. Choose the Luxury Firm comfort level if:

  • You prefer to sleep on your side, back or stomach — it's the perfect mattress for couples with different sleep needs
  • You are looking for the Goldilocks bed — not too firm, not too soft
  • You switch sleeping positions often in the night
  • You are looking for the luxury hotel experience at home

11.5" Thickness

Our custom slim luxury mattress is 11 1/2". We also make a standard version that is a 14 1/2" model with the same Luxury Firm feel. It's purely an aesthetic decision.

'Coil on Coil' Construction

Our lower coil unit offers a connected hourglass shaped steel support base. Our top coil unit features a luxurious individually wrapped coil system that contours and responds perfectly to your body, eliminating most motion transfer.  All Saatva coil units are tempered three times and oven baked.

 Dual Perimeter Edge Support System

Foam encased anti-sag edge support for better durability and more sleep surface. The Saatva Mattress uses a Dual Perimeter Edge Support System. The upper comfort coils are foam encased. This is a quality that only the most durable and best mattresses have.

Lumbar Support Enhancement

A high quality memory foam layer provides additional pressure relief while helping reduce stress and tension from the lower back.

Steel Coil Base Support System

All Saatva’s luxury mattresses are built with a tempered steel support lower coil base. This creates a long lasting sustainable mattress with increased durability and is the best design to prevent sagging. 

Euro Pillow Top with Organic Cotton Cover

The Euro Pillow Top offers more cushioning materials than most regular pillow tops. These materials are inserted underneath the outer covering for a neater and cleaner look. Regular pillow tops that are sewn to the top of a bed, tend to shift and lose shape.
