Saatva Classic

How it’s built
- Coils
- Coil-on-coil: 884 pocketed 14.5-gauge coils over 416 unpocketed support coils (Wirecutter).
- Comfort layers
- 3″ Euro pillow top, memory foam, organic-cotton-blend cover.
- Firmness & height
- Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, Firm; 11.5″ or 14.5″.
- Edge support
- Better than most in its price range (Wirecutter).
- Delivery, trial & warranty
- Free white-glove delivery and setup; 365-night trial (about $99 return pickup fee); lifetime warranty.
- Base needed
- Works on almost anything: a box spring, a foundation, a bunkie board, a platform with slats at least 3″ wide and under 4″ apart, or an adjustable base (11.5″ only). Saatva sells a matching foundation (queen $345). Saatva’s foundation warranty needs a 5–6-leg frame with center support for queen and up; mattress-warranty base rules (unverified).

Key specs
- Coil-on-coil: 884 pocketed 14.5-gauge comfort coils over 416 unpocketed support coils (Wirecutter); 1,000+ coils in full and up (Saatva)
- 3″ Euro pillow top; Lumbar Zone; organic-cotton-blend cover
- Plush Soft, Luxury Firm or Firm; 11.5″ or 14.5″
- Free white-glove delivery & setup; 365-night trial (about $99 return pickup fee); lifetime warranty
Our take: A Wirecutter top pick. Classic bounce with a cushy top; the unpocketed lower coils mean more motion transfer than all-pocketed beds.
