Saatva’s new mattress for back pain, the Saatva Rx, is a standout offer in the brand’s Black Friday Sneak Peek sale. As of this weekend, you can save up to $400 on the Saatva Rx at Saatva and get free White Glove Delivery (including old mattress removal), a lifetime warranty and a 365-night trial. A queen size is reduced to $2,945 (was $3,295) with the biggest saving found on the Cal King Rx.
That may seem expensive in a cost of living crisis, but if back pain is ruining your sleep, investing in the best mattress for your body is well worth it. Saatva has designed the Rx to constantly deliver high levels of support to reduce the discomfort of ‘serious and chronic back and joint pain’.
It features a lumbar crown and gel-infused memory foam to deliver constant pressure relief and support, keeping your spine in healthy alignment. The Saatva Rx is very tall though (15 inches), so keep that in mind if you need a lower profile bed. But if you want the best Saatva mattress for back pain relief, here it is – and with up to $400 off.
We’ll be keeping an eye on this year’s Black Friday mattress deals to see if Saatva prices drop further, but right now this is the best price you’ll find on the Rx.
Do you need a specific mattress for back pain?
This depends on the level of back pain you’re experiencing and where you are feeling that pain – upper or lower back, for example. It also depends on whether your back pain is temporary, and therefore may ease up soon, or long-term.
If you’re dealing with short-term back pain that you’re confident will clear up soon, yet your current mattress isn’t offering enough comfort or support, consider getting one of the best mattress toppers instead. These can instantly change the feel of your bed so that it’s more forgiving of back pain, and they cost a fraction of a new mattress in a box.
For people with chronic back pain and associated conditions, we’d recommend investing in the best mattress for back pain that matches your budget. These specialist mattresses feature different technologies to virtually eliminate pressure points on your back and hips, and to deliver varying levels of support and comfort at different parts of your body. Look for one that comes on a mattress trial of at least 30 nights, as it takes that long for your body to get used to a new mattress.
