Saatva Classic
The Saatva Classic is the best choice for those who prefer a traditional inner-spring feel over latex but want higher safety standards. It uses CertiPUR-US certified foams and a botanical antimicrobial treatment instead of harsh chemical pesticides.
Quality & Materials
Dual-coil design with recycled steel. Uses a flame retardant barrier made from natural thistle and an organic cotton cover.
Evidence & Testing
Uses CertiPUR-US certified foams, which guarantee no ozone depleters, PBDEs, or heavy metals, though it is not fully organic like Avocado.
Brand Transparency
Clear labeling of foam densities and coil counts, though they are less transparent about specific adhesive brands used compared to Naturepedic.
Value Assessment
Includes free white-glove delivery and mattress removal, which is a $150-$200 value not offered by most competitors.
Why Not Alternatives?
Unlike most 'bed-in-a-box' brands (Casper, Helix), Saatva is never compressed in a box, which preserves the structural integrity of the coils and high-density foam layers.
