If you struggle with back or joint pain due to a chronic health condition, getting a comfortable night’s sleep can be challenging. Saatva offers a unique option with the Saatva Rx mattress, specifically designed for those experiencing chronic health conditions such as sciatica, scoliosis, and arthritis. This targeted offering sets it apart from other Saatva products, providing meaningful pressure relief but may not be suitable for the average mattress shopper. In this review, we will explore the mattress’ specialized design and why it may benefit some sleepers more than others.
First impressions of the Saatva Rx mattress:
The Saatva Rx mattress was delivered full-size and expanded, not in a box, eliminating the need for unboxing and off-gassing. The mattress has a gold color with an organic cotton cover and a quilted pillow top, offering a comfortable and inviting appearance.
Construction and feel:
The Saatva Rx mattress features six layers, including a support foam layer, pocketed coils with foam-topped tips, micro coils, high-density foam, and a memory foam lumbar support layer. The zoned support design provides a comfortable and accommodating feel, resembling a classic pillow top with a hint of memory foam.
Zoned support design:
The Saatva Rx utilizes zoned support construction, offering subtle differences in firmness to promote spinal alignment. The center third of the mattress feels soft yet supportive, providing pressure relief and support.
Firmness and sleeper types:
The Saatva Rx has a medium firmness rating, leaning towards the softer side, making it suitable for all sleeper types. It is particularly ideal for side sleepers, although it only comes in one firmness option.
Performance:
– Edge support: The reinforced coils provide excellent edge support.
– Motion isolation: The mattress isolates motion well for a coil mattress.
– Temperature regulation: The materials of the Saatva Rx help regulate temperature for a comfortable sleep experience.
Policies:
– Free shipping (white glove delivery): Saatva offers in-home setup and old mattress removal with all their beds.
– 365-night trial: Saatva mattresses come with a 365-night trial period for extended testing.
