Most other models come in a single fixed firmness. Here&#8217;s how the firmness options map to sleeper profiles.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Plush Soft (3\/10)<\/strong>: Best for side sleepers under 150 lb who need deep contouring at the shoulder and hip.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Luxury Firm (6\/10)<\/strong>: The default. Best for back sleepers, combination sleepers, and side sleepers between 150-230 lb. This is the firmness our editors recommend if you&#8217;re uncertain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Firm (8\/10)<\/strong>: Best for stomach sleepers, sleepers over 230 lb, and anyone who explicitly prefers a flat, supportive surface over contouring.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Saatva offers free firmness exchanges within the 365-night trial. If your first choice feels wrong, the brand will swap it once at no charge \u2014 effectively giving you two firmness options to test at home.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-3\">Step 3 \u2014 Choose height (Classic only)<\/h2>\n<p>The Classic ships in two heights: 11.5&#8243; (lower-profile) or 14.5&#8243; (taller). The 14.5&#8243; adds a deeper Euro-pillow-top and an extra microcoil layer. Pick 11.5&#8243; if you have an existing platform bed and want the bed sitting at a normal height. Pick 14.5&#8243; if your bed frame is low or you want the slightly more luxurious surface feel.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-4\">Step 4 \u2014 Time your purchase<\/h2>\n<p>Saatva runs four major promotional windows annually: Presidents&#8217; Day (mid-February), Memorial Day (late May), Labor Day (early September), and Black Friday (late November). During these windows, expect $200-$400 off across the lineup, plus occasional bonuses like free pillows or a discounted bed frame. Outside these windows, the brand offers a baseline $200 discount via their site referral promotion. <strong>The 365-night trial means you don&#8217;t have to time the purchase aggressively<\/strong> \u2014 buy when the firmness or model you want is in stock and the discount is acceptable.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"step-5\">Step 5 \u2014 Set up your bed<\/h2>\n<p>Saatva&#8217;s free white-glove delivery includes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>2-person delivery to your bedroom (not your front door)<\/li>\n<li>Setup of the mattress on your existing bed frame or foundation<\/li>\n<li>Removal of your old mattress (one mattress per delivery)<\/li>\n<li>Removal and recycling of all packaging materials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Schedule the delivery for a day you&#8217;ll be home. Saatva&#8217;s delivery windows are typically 4-hour blocks, scheduled 1-2 weeks ahead. After delivery, give the mattress 24 hours to expand fully before sleeping on it. The 365-night trial begins on the delivery date.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"how-we-decide\">How the Almanac Editorial Team decides<\/h2>\n<p>Every Saatva mattress in this guide is scored on the same four-axis Almanac framework: Comfort, Climate, Spinal Care, and Investment Value. Scores derive deterministically from each model&#8217;s published construction specs (foam density, coil count, gauge, fabric, certifications) and our editorial scoring logic, not from per-page editorial judgment. The same Saatva Classic carries the same four numbers across this site, the dedicated Classic review, and our best-of-Saatva ranking.
