Saatva's best affordable mattress drops under $1,000 in last-chance Memorial Day sale
The Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid is back to its cheapest price of the year thank to this time-limited holiday deal
The Saatva Memorial Day sale is live, with savings across its entire lineup. That includes the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid, down to $949 (from $1,349) at Saatva when you use our exclusive link. That reduces a queen size to $1,699 from $2,099. That's a solid price for a luxury mattress — but having tested it myself, I know it's not for everyone.
Sitting just below the Saatva Classic – our pick for the best mattress of 2026 – in terms of price, the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid has a similar build with a breathable organic cotton cover and specialized lumbar support. However, it only comes in one firmness level and doesn't have a Euro pillow top.

This is the most affordable mattress from luxury sleep brand Saatva. With $400 off in the Saatva Memorial Day sale, a queen is reduced to $1,699 (from $2,099).

Why I recommend the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid for back sleepers
I've been sleeping on the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress for the past month, and I also invited a diverse panel of sleepers to nap on it to help me determine who'd benefit most from this entry-level luxury bed.
I'm naturally a side sleeper, and while I wasn't uncomfortable on this hybrid mattress, I did wish the foams offered more contouring for my shoulders, hips, and knees in that position. I also found myself missing my previous pillow-top mattress, which featured extra cushioning for my joints.
My fellow testers were in agreement; they just couldn't get comfortable on their sides with this mattress, albeit for different reasons.
One of the side sleepers in my group, who weighs over 150lbs, said, "I felt like I was kind of falling into the mattress rather than molding to it. Things were starting to get stiff at the hips and the spine.” Meanwhile, the side sleepers under 135lbs thought it was too firm, with little give for the pressure points.
But when we switched onto our backs? It was a whole different story.
Regardless of size and typical sleep style, all of us rated it an excellent mattress for back sleepers. We thought it had the right amount of tension to distribute our weight evenly, and the patented Lumbar Zone provided us with the support we needed to stay aligned.
“It supported my back when I lay straight back, and I only had the single pillow propped up slightly. Normally, I use like four or five giant pillows [at night]," said one of my back sleeping testers who weighs over 150lbs.
The Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid is like an elevated innerspring mattress, with plenty of pushback from the wrapped coils and minimal contouring from the comfort foam layer. It creates a lifted sensation that makes you feel like you're just floating above the surface — total bliss for back sleeping.
Side sleeper? Try this instead...
If you need a side sleeper mattress, consider paying a little extra for the Saatva Classic in Soft or Luxury Firm for extra pressure relief from its pillowy Euro Top. Per usual, you'll also find the dedicated Lumbar Zone to help with alignment — and you can even choose the height you want (11.5 or 14.5 inches). After $400 off, a queen size Saatva Classic is on sale for $1,779 (was $2,199).
