I tried the Saatva Classic mattress and was blown away — and it's at its lowest price for Presidents' Day

When I tried the Saatva Classic I knew straight away why many think it’s one of the most comfortable mattresses in the world. But unlike other luxury beds, you won’t pay an eye-watering price for the Classic. Especially today as you can save $400 on the Saatva Classic at Saatva. This reduces a queen to $1,699 (was $2,099), matching Black Friday prices.

We rate the Saatva Classic as this year’s best mattress for most sleepers who have the budget. The hybrid structure combines a Lumbar Zone made up of 884 individually wrapped coils, a high-density memory foam lumbar crown and a euro-pillow top. When I tried it I was surprised by how much the mattress contoured to my body, making all sleeping positions comfy for me.

This year's Saatva Presidents’ Day sale takes $400 off all mattresses over $1,000, matching the cheapest price we've seen the Saatva Classic sell for in the last year ($1,699 for a queen). If it's outside your budget, take a look at our guide to this year's Presidents' Day mattress sales for more affordable options.

Saatva Classic mattress (queen): $2,099 $1,699 at Saatva

Saatva Classic mattress (queen): $2,099 $1,699 at Saatva
The handcrafted Saatva Classic is the best hybrid mattress we've tested this year. It offers a great mix of comfort, support and pressure relief, with just the right amount of bounce for an innerspring hybrid. During our Saatva Classic mattress review testing process our team reported excellent edge support and good temperature regulation (natural cooling materials and an innerspring design boost airflow). We awarded the Saatva Classic a full 5 out of 5 star rating, recommending it to all sleepers with the budget except those with longterm back and joint pain (try the Saatva RX mattress instead, from $1,599 at Saatva) and couples weighing over 600lbs (the Classic won't support your weight so try The WinkBed instead, from $849 at WinkBeds).

Price history: The best Saatva mattress sale for any mattresses worth $2,500 or less is the one we're seeing right now: $400 off all sizes. That's because the normal Saatva discount on the more affordable models is $200 to $200 off. This $400 saving only appears during major sale events like Presidents’ Day and Black Friday, with a queen Saatva Classic reduced to $1,699 (was $2,099). This matches the cheapest price we've previously seen it sell for, so now is a great time to buy.

DreamCloud Hybrid mattress: from $1,148 $449 at DreamCloud
Like the Saatva, the DreamCloud Hybrid has a structure designed to offer optimum support, especially in the lumbar region. With seven layers, this mattress certainly feels luxurious, while remaining well within the ‘affordable’ price range. It doesn’t have different firmness options like the Saatva, and in our DreamCloud mattress review we rated it as an 8/10 on the firmness scale, meaning it does have quite a firm feel. Despite this, we still recommend it to most sleepers because our testers found the mattress softened and contoured to their bodies after a few days, which created a very comfortable and cozy feel. There’s always a 50% off DreamCloud mattress sale, meaning you can get a queen for $665 (with the total value calculated as $1,664). You’ll also get similar benefits to Saatva, with a 365-night trial, free delivery and returns and a lifetime warranty.
