Waking up with back pain? Chiropractor recommends this mattress “for optimal spinal support and pain relief” — and it’s $400 off for Black Friday

Pain isn’t a good way to start the day. If every morning feels like a struggle, swapping out your bed for a mattress that targets back pain could be the answer. Recommended by chiropractors, the Saatva RX mattress is now $400 off at Saatva, making Black Friday a great time to invest in your sleep. That brings the price of a queen down to $2,999 from $3,399.

The best mattresses for back pain have a build that prioritises support, alignment and pressure relief. And the Saatva RX is designed specifically to target chronic pain, thanks to its memory foam lumbar crown and therapeutic support core.

We’ve asked Dr. Nicole Maholy, a chiropractor, why she thinks the Saatva RX ‘stands out’ for sleepers with back pain, so you can decide whether it’s the right Black Friday mattress deal for you.

Saatva RX mattress: twin was $1,999 now $1,599 at Saatva
The Saatva RX is a specialist mattress, which inevitably means it sells at a more high-end price range. However, when you consider the materials used and the build, it’s still excellent value for money. With seven layers, standing at 15” tall, it’s a mattress designed to offer absolute luxury, cradling your body while offering proper support. A queen usually sells at $3,399 but using our links, you can get $400 off in the Saatva Black Friday sale, dropping the price to $2,999. While that is an excellent saving, the best possible time to buy the Saatva RX is during flash 15% off Saatva mattress sales. That's when a queen drops to $2,890. However, those deals are fleeting and difficult to predict. Plus, with tariff increases expecting to drive up prices, this could be the lowest price you’ll see the Saatva RX for a while. You’ll get industry leading perks, like a 365-night sleep trial, a forever warranty and free white glove delivery.

How the Saatva RX targets pain relief

Considering that the average person spends one-third of their life in bed, choosing the right mattress is crucial—especially for those dealing with back pain.

“For optimal spinal support and pain relief, I recommend the Saatva Rx Mattress,” says Dr. Nicole Maholy, DC, CNS, LDN, a Wellness Expert, and Coach for WOWMD.

“This mattress provides enhanced support where it’s needed most—particularly in the middle of the mattress for lumbar support—while offering contouring in the shoulder and hip areas to relieve pressure points,” she says.

This is thanks to the ½” gel infused memory foam lumbar crown that sits beneath the quilted cover. Beneath that, there are two high-density foam layers that encase a layer of 1,628 micro coils. This means the mattress not only cushions your body, but responds to your movements, too.

“The mattress features an 8” pocketed coil layer with individually wrapped coils for lasting support,” Dr. Maholy explains.

“This provides stable edge support, making it easier and more comfortable for those with back pain to get in and out of bed,” she adds.

So, if you’re looking for one of this year’s best mattresses for your body, the Saatva RX is definitely it. In our Saatva RX mattress review, our lead tester who has lower back pain and mild scoliosis noticed a marked improvement in her pain when resting on her side.
