Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\nWhy is the Saatva Classic the universal best mattress?<\/h3>\nIt scores 9.1\/10 on the Almanac across all four axes (Comfort, Climate, Spinal Care, Investment Value). No single axis is below 8.6 and no axis is above 9.4 \u2014 the consistency across axes is what makes it the universal pick. Most sleepers don’t have a specific dominant variable, and the Classic covers the common case competently.<\/p>\n How do I know which firmness of the Classic to pick?<\/h3>\nPlush Soft (3\/10) for lightweight side sleepers under 150 lb. Luxury Firm (6\/10) for the broad middle \u2014 back, side, and combo sleepers 150-230 lb. Firm (8\/10) for stomach sleepers and sleepers over 230 lb.<\/p>\n Should I wait for a Saatva sale?<\/h3>\nIf you can wait until Memorial Day, Labor Day, or Black Friday, yes \u2014 discounts of $300-600 are typical at these windows. If you need a mattress now, Saatva runs a baseline $200 site-wide promotion year-round; the wait isn’t strictly necessary.<\/p>\n Is white-glove delivery actually included?<\/h3>\nYes \u2014 at no additional cost in the contiguous US. Two-person delivery to your bedroom, mattress setup on your existing frame, and removal of your old mattress (one per delivery). This is the most underrated feature in the Saatva offering.<\/p>\n How does the 365-night trial work?<\/h3>\nYou buy the mattress, it ships and is delivered, your trial starts on the delivery date. Within 365 nights you can return for a refund minus a $99 processing fee. Most pain sleepers should keep the mattress at least 8 weeks before deciding.<\/p>\n What’s the lifetime warranty actually cover?<\/h3>\nManufacturer defects (sagging beyond 1 inch, broken coils, fabric defects) for the original purchaser, indefinitely. Normal wear and stains are not covered. The warranty is per original purchaser, non-transferable.<\/p>\n Can I get a Saatva discount?<\/h3>\nThree options: (1) Wait for a major sales window (Memorial Day, Labor Day, Black Friday) for $300-600 off. (2) ID.me discount: $225 off orders $1,000+ for verified military, first responders, teachers, and seniors 55+. (3) Stack ID.me with sale window for combined $525-825 off.<\/p>\n How does the Classic compare to a Tempur-Pedic?<\/h3>\nThe Classic wins on cooling, edge support, Investment Value (lifetime warranty vs Tempur’s 10-year), and price ($1,779 vs Tempur’s $2,099+ for comparable models). Tempur wins on motion isolation and the proprietary ‘hugging’ feel.<\/p>\n |
