Saatva Latex vs Sleep Number NaturalFit Ultimate pillow: Design

• Saatva is available in two loft options to suit all sleepers
• Sleep Number NaturalFit consists of a latex and down fiber blend
• The NaturalFit has an adjustable design with three removable inserts
  

While both the Saatva and NaturalFit are crafted from latex, the fill composition is what distinguishes one from the other.

The Saatva has a springy soft feel thanks to the shredded latex core surrounded by down-alternative microdenier fibers. It comes encased in an organic cotton cover with gusseted sides which helps to maintain the shape.

The Saatva Latex is available in two loft options: standard (4 -5 " tall), recommended for back and stomach sleepers and high (6-7" tall), meant for side sleepers. Once you choose your desired option during pillow purchase, it does not require any further adjustments and can be slept on straight out of the package.

When it comes to maintenance, the brand recommends machine washing all parts of the Saatva Latex except for the latex core, which can only be spot cleaned. Saatva suggests washing your pillow twice a year and replacing them once in three years.

The Sleep Number NaturalFit Ultimate, on the other hand, consists of three removable latex and down fiber inserts. This unique combination of natural breathable and plush materials results in a soft yet supportive pillow.

The Ultimate also features a curved shape which is best suited for side and back sleepers as it effectively support the head, neck and shoulders in these positions.

It also comes in an organic cotton cover but with a single strip of grey athletic jersey material on the side with small holes for enhanced breathability. Except for this outer cover which is both removable and machine washable, the NaturalFit Ultimate is a 'spot-clean' only pillow.

Saatva Latex vs Sleep Number NaturalFit Ultimate pillow: Comfort & support

• The Saatva Latex earned full 5 out of 5 score for comfort and support
• Our reviewer found that the NaturalFit requires to be fluffed up regularly
• The NaturalFit is more for those who like softer plush pillow

The Saatva Latex and Sleep Number NaturalFit may both be latex-blend pillows, but our lead testers report that each has a slightly different feel to it.

Our tester was very impressed by the performance of the former during the Saatva Latex pillow review period in terms of comfort, support and temperature regulation, earning a full score of 5 out of 5.

It suited her combination sleeping style (side and stomach), maintaining the support for her head, neck and shoulders, even while she was switching positions during the night. The Saatva Latex delivers a luxurious experience with its firm squidgy feel, which in our reviewer's words was like "sleeping on a cloud".

The Sleep Number Ultimate, on the other hand, fell short by just 0.5 out of 5 for comfort and support. This is because of its tendency to flatten easily when sleeping, which can lead to lack of enough support for an uninterrupted night's sleep.

In the Sleep Number NaturalFit Ultimate review, our tester also points out that it has a "plush and soft feel" suitable for all sleeping positions (side, back and stomach) with a high score (5 out of 5) for temperature regulation.

The Saatva Latex, appears to have an upperhand in performance, thanks to its simple fuss-free design which does not require regular fluffing up.
