Continue reading the below to find out who this mattress is recommended best to.
The Saatva HD, perfect for heavier bodies
Who We Recommend Saatva HD Memory Foam Mattress for:
- The Saatva HD mattress is best suitable for larger people. These sleepers will find good durability and lumber support from the mattress’s extra firmness. However, among the heavy sleepers, others with normal body weight or size can also benefit.
- The stomach sleepers will surely love the Saatva HD mattress. It is mainly because the firmness level will keep their shoulders and hips aligned, thus preventing any back pain.
- The Saatva HD mattress would also make back sleepers happy due to its good support and pressure relief combination.
- Combination sleepers will also find Saatva HD mattresses satisfactory if they are not too happy with them. The mattress can help combination sleepers to switch positions without any issues.
Who Should Avoid Saatva HD Memory Foam Mattresses:
- Those strict side sleepers who find sleeping lightly on the end scale should avoid this mattress. They should instead prefer a softer mattress instead of a Saatva HD mattress. We recommend considering other options for side sleepers, especially for their shoulders and hip alignments.
- The motion isolation feature hasn’t been as good as it should have been for heavy couples. A heavy couple must have a motion isolation feature in their mattress to avoid passing any disturbance due to their weight size. They can consider other options that are suitable for couples.
- Those with average or lightweight and are back sleepers might not find it an excellent option to relieve pressure on their points.
Comfort and Firmness
Saatva HD mattress is luxuriously comfortable, mostly for large sleepers. However, it might not be a good choice for average or slim-side sleepers, which implies combining sleepers of similar attributes.
Since the mattress has a firmness level of 7-8 out of 10. Therefore, slim, average-sized, or weighted sleepers may not benefit most from this mattress. So, these users can look for other Saatva options for their specific needs.
Performance
The Saatva HD mattress combines multiple cotton layers of latex, cotton, poly foam, and memory foam. It has a strong base of thick and foam-encased coils. The mattress delivers solid performance for most sleeping positions of large sleepers, with their shoulder and hip aligned with their spinal adjustment.
The mattress uses high-quality materials in its construction and is eco-friendly, made with an organic cotton cover. Saatva avoids using toxic materials and hazardous chemicals or substances, and the mattress is CertiPUR-US certified for safety and health. It does not off-gas too much, and the coils are steel-made for durability without sagging anytime soon. Moreover, the mattress has all the cooling features, motion isolation, little-to-no off-gassing, edge support, etc. However, all these features best suit prominent people and some specific users in certain ways.
Is Saatva Mattress Good Mattress for Back Pains?
The Saatva HD mattress is a good option for back pains. The mattress can evenly distribute a sleeper’s weight across its structure through its top layer of foam filling in its lumber region for good pressure relief. Thus, it provides good support for the back by keeping it well-balanced and aligned for relieving or preventing back pains.
However, it is best suitable for using heavy sleepers and alleviating their back pains. Other users may find it difficult to adjust to the Saatva HD mattress for their back pains.
Sagging and Edge Support
The mattress is designed keeping in mind the needs of large sleepers. It is a little firmer mattress than a medium-firmed mattress as it uses high-durability cased coils bases and premium materials in its construction. Therefore, unlike those average-sized mattresses designed for normal sleepers, the Saatva HD provides extra support for heavy sleepers and eliminates their chances of sagging.
The edge support is excellent for couples thanks to the foam and coils encasement, as they make you feel secure while sleeping or sitting on the edges. You won’t feel falling or rolling off the edges of the mattress. So, overall, the edge support is more than satisfactory.
Motion Isolation
Unfortunately, the Saatva HD mattress fails to provide the required motion transfer support that it must have for large sleepers. Especially for couples, getting in and out of bed and tossing and jumping on the bed passed movement waves that the other person sleeping next to you could easily feel. Therefore, even with a good bounce, it still failed to provide the much-needed motion isolation feature support as it should.
Sleeping Position and Weight
Since the Saatva HD mattress is most suitable for large or heavy sleepers, therefore it is ideal for their back, stomach, and combination sleeping positions. It provides great durability and lumber support through its firmness to large sleepers. Thus stomach sleepers find their hips and shoulder well-balanced and aligned to avoid back pains. Even the back sleepers feel happier due to the mattress’s good combination of support and pressure relief. Moreover, the combo sleepers can benefit a bit from tossing and turning around their positions. Side sleepers may not find it a good option for their body adjustments.
Light back and side sleepers under 130 lbs. will not benefit due to the mattress’s extra firmness, and they should look for something that feels a bit lighter for them. Light stomach sleepers can get some support but not as good as heavy stomach sleepers.
Back sleepers with a weight limit of 130 to 250 lbs. can find this mattress not too sinking. Similarly, the average stomach sleeper will find the mattress firm enough for their shoulders and hips’ safety and alignment. However, average-sized side sleepers may have to avoid this mattress as it might not relieve pressure from their hips and shoulders.
Breathability and Heat Transfer
The Saatva HD mattress is an excellent choice for hot sleepers. They mainly took the cooling feature under consideration and added a breathable cover with Talalay latex to act as a natural cooling agent.
As for heat transference, Saatva even took great care of it. The mattress has a memory foam layer that helps heat retention and wicks away moisture for a cool and dry feeling. Moreover, the steel coils play the role of allowing better airflow to contribute further to excellent breathability.
Overall, the Saatva HD mattress fulfills the basic requirement of hot sleepers to keep them cool.
Durability
The Saatva HD mattress has high durability and support for all its sleepers. The steel coils used set a good impression for the bounce and durability. The latex and memory foam layers are also durable enough, and their high firmness is the most crucial element. The Saatva HD mattress is a good make, keeping in mind heavy sleepers’ high durability and lumbar support.
