Check Today’s Price \u2192<\/a><\/aside>\nThe Saatva Contour5<\/strong> is Saatva’s memory foam flagship \u2014 but designed without the heat-trapping and motion isolation drawbacks that make standard memory foam a polarizing choice. The “5” in the name refers to its five-zone pressure relief system, which independently adapts under shoulders, hips, lumbar, knees, and heels.<\/p>\nIf you’ve tried memory foam mattresses and loved the pressure relief but hated sleeping warm or feeling trapped, the Contour5 is designed specifically for you. It combines gel-infused memory foam with a micro-coil support layer that introduces airflow without sacrificing that full-body-hug feel.<\/p>\n
