As a mattress tester with back pain, this is the luxury hybrid I'd buy this Black Friday — and it's $400 off too

If you have back pain like me, you'll know how important it is to be sleeping on a mattress with the right support. The Saatva Classic is a great shout here thanks to a dedicated lumbar support system that reduces pain while you sleep. Now is a good time to buy too as there's $400 off the Saatva Classic at Saatva, with a queen down to $1,739.

The Saatva Classic is the top-rated option in our best mattress guide, with a luxury innerspring hybrid design that combines a dual coil layer with foam to deliver great comfort and support. It's a great mattress for back pain thanks to enhanced lumbar support that keeps the spine aligned and lumbar region supported.

$400 off is the best Saatva Black Friday sale you can ever expect, and we don't expect prices to drop any lower. Plus, $400 off is also nearly double the discount you'd get on the smallest sizes in the general Saatva mattress sale. You'll also get free White Glove Delivery, a year's sleep trial, and a lifetime warranty.

Ease those aches and pains

Well, for starters, the Saatva Classic comes in a choice of three firmness options. In our Saatva Classic mattress review, we tested the Luxury Firm option, which is a great 'all-rounder' that will suit most sleepers.

But there's also a Plush Soft option that's one of the best mattresses for side sleepers thanks to its cushioning comfort. The Firm option is ideal for stomach and back sleepers looking for a firmer feel and heavier bodies and is, as you might have guessed, one of our top firm mattress picks.

These different options mean that back pain sufferers can pick the right firmness for both their sleeping style and body weight, which goes a long way in helping to ease aches and pains.

Scoring full marks in our pressure relief tests, the Saatva Classic's secret weapon when it comes to back pain lies in its Lumbar Zone Quilting in the cover, combined with a gel-infused lumbar crown in the next layer.

These combine together to give you extra support in the middle third of the mattress where your lumbar zone needs it most. The coil layer is also zoned to back up this support.

The Classic also scored full marks in our edge support tests and this too plays a part for sleepers with back pain.

You want to be able to get the same support across the whole width of the bed, so that there's no drop off in lumbar support nearer the edge.

Again, the Saatva excels in this department. We think this is the very best mattress you can invest in if you suffer with back pain.
