Saatva Black Friday mattress deals are live − save up to $400 on our tried-and-tested best mattress

Saatva's Black Friday sale is now live, so you can save hundreds on some of America's best-loved beds. A mattress is a major investment, and a Saatva mattress is more major than most. Outside of sales season, you should expect to spend upwards of $2,000 to get a Saatva mattress in a Queen size. As we approach Black Friday, I'm starting to see $400 discounts across the Saatva site, up from $300 last week.

Before I started as H&G's resident Sleep Editor, I was a price tracker. I spent eight hours a day crawling the sites of major mattress merchants, monitoring their prices. I learned how to shop the mattress sales to get the lowest prices on the best beds, so I'm perfectly placed to bring you my edit of today's best Saatva deals. The Saatva Classic is our reigning champion for the title of best mattress, and you can get it for $400 less than listing price (just $1,695 for a Queen) in the Black Friday Early Access sales.

In my current role, I lead a team of expert testers in the search to find the world's best mattress. We assess each mattress against the same criteria: pressure relief; thermoregulation; motion isolation; and edge support. Over the years, we've ranked and reviewed more than 30 mattresses, 4 of which are from Saatva, and they get top scores across the board. Still, certain mattress types are better suited to certain sleepers. I can help you decide which Saatva mattress is best for you and show you how to get it at the lowest possible price.

I recommend it to everyone.

If you suffer from serious or chronic pain in your back and joints (think: sciatica; arthritis; scoliosis; herniated discs...), then this is the mattress for you. The memory foam inside the Saatva Rx Mattress is arranged in lumbar zones for spinal alignment and infused with gel for cooling comfort.

Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress | Was $2,395, now $1,995 at Saatva

This is one of the best cooling mattresses on the market. Latex is naturally breathable, and the springs circulate air through the mattress with each compression and decompression. Inside the comfort layer, you'll find organic cotton and organic wool to mop up moisture. It's great for anyone who suffers from night sweats.

Saatva Contour5 Mattress | Was $2,995, now $2,595 at Saatva

This is a new addition to the line-up at Saatva, intended as an improvement on their Loom & Leaf. Unlike old-fashioned memory foam, which tends to trap heat, this foam features a CoolVent System to channel excess thermal energy away from the body and out of the bed. You get the pressure relief and contouring comfort of memory foam without the night sweats.

Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress | Was $1,845, now $1,445 at Saatva

This is by far the most affordable mattress at Saatva, and you can get it for even less when you shop the sales. Like any hybrid mattress, you combine the cushioning comfort of memory foam with the airflow and support of an innerspring. This is a great introduction to Saatva for buyers on a budget.

Saatva HD Mattress | Was $3,295, now $2,895 at Saatva

How a mattress feels for your body is informed by a number of factors, including your shape and size. The Saatva HD is designed for bigger bodies (up to 500lbs each) and reinforced with thicker-gauge coils for enhanced durability. The mattress edges feature high-density foam rails to make getting into and out of bed that much easier.

If you're shopping for an adjustable bed, this is your best bet. The Saatva Solaire comes with individual controls either side of the bed, so you can select and save your ideal mattress firmness. If you share a bed with a partner, but not a sleep style, then the Saatva Solaire could help you reach a compromise.

My favorite Saatva mattresses

For sheer breadth of choice, Saatva is one of the best places to buy a mattress. You can shop everything from responsive latex models to luxury innersprings. Whichever bed you buy, you're protected by a lifetime mattress warranty, as well as a 365-night mattress sleep trial. Every mattress purchase includes complimentary white glove delivery, which covers in-home set up of your new mattress and removal of your old one, for free.

When to shop for Saatva deals

There's an old adage that mattresses are always on sale. There's some truth to it, but certain times of year offer deeper discounts than others. Here's what you need to know about the best time to buy a mattress at the lowest possible price.

Black Friday and Cyber Monday Saatva deals

Usually, Saatva runs a Black Friday Sneak Peek weekend at the start of November. You can expect to save $200 on more affordable models, such as the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress, and $300 on more expensive models, such as the Saatva HD. Fair warning: you might find that you can only see the discount once you've added a mattress to cart.

The week before Black Friday, Saatva offers Early Access deals. I wouldn't rush to shop these, since you tend to see prices fall a little further on the big day. If you want to shop over the weekend between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, the sale is usually extended for as long as stocks last. The Cyber Monday price is often just as good as the Black Friday price, and I often find it runs through Cyber Week, like a 'last call'.

It's worth noting that the price of a Saatva mattress has risen by an average of $100 over the past year.

After-Christmas Saatva deals

If you don't get around to shopping at Saatva over Black Friday, you should be able to pick up a discount in the after-Christmas sales. In my experience, the price is never quite as good as it was over Black Friday, but the difference is negligible: there might be $50 or $100 between the deals.

Federal holidays

I always say that the best time to buy a mattress is over a holiday weekend. That's when mattress stores compete to offer the lowest prices. Saatva always makes a big deal out of Labor Day: this year, I saw pre-rush sales for the two weeks preceding the big day. Labor Day turned into Labor Week, with five days of discounts, and a Last Call sale over that weekend.

Amazon Prime Day Saatva deals

Saatva doesn't sell through Amazon, so you won't be able to shop a Saatva mattress as part of the Amazon Prime Day sales.

How we source the best Saatva deals

To compile this Saatva deals page, I've spoken with my mattress testing team to consider our long-term, at-home testing experience. Where we haven't been able to get our hands on a Saatva mattress, we've scoured the specifications and read countless customer reviews to give you the most accurate indication of how it feels and who it suits.

I've spent hours shopping the Saatva site to bring you the most up-to-date information on pricing. As a shopping writer, I like a good bargain, but I'll never compromise quality for cost. That's why I include links to our full-length reviews to help you see past the sales and learn more about a particular mattress.

FAQs

Which Saatva mattress is best for back pain?

The Saatva Contour5 Mattress is best for back pain. The plush pillow-top is designed to cushion your neck and shoulders, taking the weight off your pressure points, while the high-density memory foam core supports your spine. 'When I woke up after my first night on the Saatva Contour5 Mattress, I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my typically achy back and joints were a little less agitated,' says expert tester Alex Frost.

Which Saatva mattress is best for side sleepers?

The Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress is best for side sleepers. The top layer of Talalay latex is soft enough to cushion your hips, knees, and shoulders, while the supportive steel springs are strong enough to stop your pelvis from sinking and keep your spine straight.

You'll find a Saatva mattress in almost every one of our mattress buying guides. They get top scores across the board for comfort, cooling, and cost. Yes, a Saatva mattress is more expensive than the best affordable mattress, but you get what you pay for: white glove delivery; superior eco-credentials; and quality comfort that extends right around the edges.

To get a sense of what it might be like to sleep on a Saatva mattress, I suggest you read the customer reviews. Don't be taken in by a few five-star ratings, and don't be put off by the odd negative review, either: you want to get the fullest possible picture. If you want to try a Saatva mattress for yourself, you could visit one of the Saatva viewing rooms across the country. Before you go, it's worth learning how to test a mattress to make sure it's right for you.

Remember, Saatva offers year-round discounts to veterans, seniors, students, teachers, government employees and first responders ($225 off orders worth $1,000). If you fall into any of those categories, then there's no rush to shop the sales. At checkout, you'll need to register with ID.me to prove your identity and secure your discount.

If you're still not sold on Saatva, but you know you need a new mattress, then it's time to expand your search. I suggest you shop my edit of the best DreamCloud mattress deals, instead. DreamCloud is a close competitor to Saatva, and as a box mattress brand, their beds are far more affordable. I've weighed up all the pros and cons of Saatva vs DreamCloud for comfort, cooling and cost.
