Identifying the Best Hybrid Mattress is a challenge. There are a lot to choose from and we've tested over 80 of them. Ultimately, though, and despite strong competition from leading brands, there could be only one: the Saatva Classic, the mattress that revolutionized our senior editor's sleep.
This premium hybrid innerspring bed has been a firm favorite of ours for years. It's perfectly constructed, incredibly comfortable and supportive, and this year we've given it a thorough re-examination that, with full marks across the board, confirms it as not merely the best hybrid mattress you can buy, but the best mattress of the year, period.
Why the Saatva Classic is a winner
Hybrid mattresses are constructed with a combination of springs and foam, but the exact design, materials, quality and features vary from mattress to mattress. One that is outstanding for all sleeping positions can be hard to find — unless, that is, you know about our Best Hybrid Mattress.
The Saatva Classic is Saatva's flagship mattress: a luxury innerspring hybrid that's handcrafted in the USA and made with premium materials. And because it's available in three firmness levels – Plush, Luxury Firm and Firm – there's an option for every kind of sleeper, and there are even two height options to choose from.
We've submitted the Saatva Classic to extensive retesting this year, and found it to excel in every single one of our exacting categories. In fact, it's the only mattress we've ever tested that's scored a full five out of five overall.
It's almost in a class of its own. There are some strong hybrid alternatives on the market, such as the cheaper, but still luxurious, DreamCloud Classic, or the revamped Helix Midnight Luxe, which is a fine option for side sleepers, but no other mattress is quite so safe a bet as the Saatva Classic.
We love pretty much everything about it. It's brilliantly constructed with barely any foam, and it's instantly comfortable; while many mattresses take a little while to break in, the Classic is ready to go from the very first night.
Its lumbar crown delivers superior lower back support, and the Classic's outstanding support and pressure relief means that it can ease aches and pains as you sleep.
It's not specifically a cooling mattress, but we found that its minimal foam means that it doesn't trap heat while its dual coil layers keep it thoroughly breathable and temperature-neutral, so you'll be able to sleep comfortably even in the hottest weather. It's fully supportive from edge to edge, and you don't even have to worry about unboxing it: Saatva's free white glove delivery means you can have it set up for you, right on your bed.
Saatva's Black Friday sale is currently offering $400 off mattresses over $1,000, one of the largest discounts we've seen this year. And it means a Classic in queen is now down to $1,739 (was $2,139). Alongside this, you'll get a 365-night trial, a lifetime warranty and the premium delivery we've just mentioned above.
In the interests of fairness we should point out that the Saatva Classic isn't completely perfect: it's not suitable for couples weighing over 600lbs (for whom Saatva has created the Saatva HD), and in the unlikely case of you wanting to send your Classic back, Saatva will charge you a $99 return fee.
Beyond these piffling quibbles, though, it's clear: this is the best hybrid mattress you can get.
