We put Saatva Classic’s luxury firm model to the test for 30 nights. As CNET’s sleep experts, my husband Dillon and I have been reviewing mattresses and sleep products for years. Despite our experience, we still struggle to get quality rest due to our different sleeping preferences. Dillon is a night owl, while I’m an early bird. He likes a quiet room, while I prefer a noise machine. Our differences extend to sleeping positions as well — Dillon is a side sleeper and likes soft mattresses, while I prefer sleeping on my stomach on a firmer surface.
After trying various sleep products to accommodate our differences, we decided to test a different mattress each month in our 30-Night Mattress Testing Series until we find one that suits both of us. Our first test was the Saatva Classic’s luxury firm model, which we compared to the Brentwood Home Latex Hybrid we had been using.
Upon testing the Saatva Classic, we found that Dillon found it too firm for his side sleeping preference, while I found it supportive and comfortable for stomach and back sleeping. We both appreciated the bed’s responsiveness, plush pillow top feel, and solid edge support. Dillon was impressed by its motion isolation capabilities, while I found it decent but not ideal for our differing sleep schedules.
The Saatva Classic’s construction impressed us with its high-quality materials, hypoallergenic features, and focus on spinal alignment. We were also pleased with Saatva’s brand standards, including a 365-night trial period and lifetime warranty.
Ultimately, Dillon found the luxury firm model too firm for his liking, while I found it comfortable and supportive. Our goal is to find a mattress that both of us find comfortable and helps improve our sleep quality.
