Ok so I have purchased one of the saatva mattresses because sleep foundation and other websites gave it good reviews. Consumer affairs had many decent reviews. But I am seeing a lot of people saying it breaks down fast, which, for the amount of money it costs, is concerning to me. Should I cancel that order?

I'm a little stressed about this purchase now, whereas before I was pretty excited about it. It is the first time I've bought a mattress on my own, I've been using the one my dad bought me in college for the past 9 years.

Edit: Hey I just thought I'd update this... I have had my mattress for a couple weeks now. In light of the many reviews saying they break down quickly, I also preemptively bought a mattress pad from a company called silk and snow. It is latex, and was about $200 ish when I bought it on sale. My logic was that I would help extend my mattress for longer, and it would help me feel less anxious about anything breaking down. Maybe that's silly in light of purchasing a mattress, but I don't regret it at all, because my new bed is ABSURDLY comfortable. Back pain that I had previously been in physical therapy for has improved immensely, in fact, it is nearly gone. Considering how much the physical therapy cost me over time, I am pleased with this. I would say it's firm(ish). There's still a lot of bounce. I think some of that is a function of the mattress pad. You definitely don't sink into it like you would with memory foam (I hate that sensation, also that causes me shoulder pain). It's probably also worth noting, the mattress I had previously (see above) was hardly a high quality mattress. So, really, it's not much for me to feel like things are a step up.

My biggest complaints are two fold: One was the delivery. I live alone and have weak, noodly arms so I was really banking on that delivery. Otherwise I'd be trying to haul a mattress in a box up a walkup apartment. But saatva I don't think pays too much attention to the companies they work with. I am lucky I had telework with my job, because the company ONLY delivered on weekdays! The company itself was professional, so was saatva's customer service, but working this out was a pain.

I also had issues with some of the ecofriendly ratings... I think there are maybe better companies in that department. Originally, I was considering an avocado mattress. However, everyone and their brother said that mattress was ROCK solid. And my experience with hard mattresses is pain. So I decided against it.

If I remember, I will come back to this post in like 6 months or a year or whatever and update accordingly with how it's going. Maybe that will help ease the mattress shopping concerns for others. I will let you know how it's holding up and if I had to replace it at all.

We are looking for a new mattress. My husband wants to look at Saatva, in store. I have back pain and a spinal lumbar fusion. He’s having shoulder pain. He’s a heavier guy(250pds). I recently tried mattresses at a mattress. My favorite was the beauty rest black lux estate. We have a king bed. We are thinking we will have to get a spilt king due to our different “plush” comfort.

Hey r/Mattress back in May last year I felt it was time to buy a new Mattress. As a person who had no knowledge on the subject (why would I?) I was utterly overwhelmed. There's so many sites that recommend different beds and well compared to car shopping looking for a Mattress is a damn nightmare. And it gets especially difficult when you start browsing informative mattress sites (including this one) where you'll get a deluge of varying opinions and claims that certain sites are paid off by mattress companies and let's just say I don't want to go thru that experience ever again.

One Mattress I did find to be very comfortable was the Queen Sized Saatva Original Luxury Firm. It was firm enough to support a big man (6'3 & 240 pounds) like me and my girlfriend feels it's comfortable as well. The price wasn't cheap but it wasn't budget breaking like the upscale Tempur-Pedics. I decided to order it online and since then I don't have any complaints whatsoever, it's the most comfortable mattress I've ever had.

Now I know what you may be thinking (is this guy paid by them?) and I have nothing beyond the proof that this reddit account is fairly old to say you can trust me. I definitely think you try out a mattress before you purchase blindly. I can tell you the one mistake I did make (no fault of the company's) and that's that I order the tallest sized mattress (14.5”) along with the tallest foundation (8.75”). My silly head thought, "Why not get the tallest if the prices are the same?" With it sitting on my already high bedframe the mattress just sits HIGH, too high. It's not a problem for me since I am thankfully tall but my girlfriend has to jump on the mattress or use a footstool to get up. If either of us fell off which thankfully hasn't happened it would not be fun. So if you do decide to buy from them (and I guess any mattress) take some measuring tape and figure out how high your bed will be before you purchase. I'm now looking to buy a new foundation to lower the mattress by a few inches.

Anyway just wanted to add my own average consumer thoughts. I personally think Saatvas are awesome and the bed shows no signs of wear & tear but what's comfortable to me might feel horrendous to another person. In a few years I'll likely buy this bed again, I would just make it shorter. Good luck and take your time shopping!
