The Classic is great — but I recommend a different Saatva mattress this Black Friday

If you’re looking to buy a Saatva mattress this sales season, you wouldn’t be alone. Saatva is the brand behind some of the most popular mattresses in the US, with an impressive lineup of mattresses designed to suit every type of sleeper. But while the Saatva Classic tends to steal all the glory, I’d recommend you save $400 on the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid in the Saatva sale instead. A queen is now $1,445 (was $1,945).

The Saatva Classic takes the title of best mattress of 2024, but the Memory Foam Hybrid isn't far behind. During testing, we gave the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid an impressive 4.8 out of 5 stars. Sure, it’s not quite the near-perfect scores we bestowed on the Classic, but it trails just 0.2 stars behind and is $250 cheaper for a queen. 

Below, I'll detail exactly why the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid is my favorite pick and why I recommend buying it in the Saatva Cyber Monday sale.

Summary: In our Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress review our team agreed that while no mattress is perfect, "the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid comes close". It suits all sleep styles and while not particularly plush, delivers plenty of cushioned pressure relief. Featuring Saatva's patented lumbar zone quilting, plus a layer of foam zoned to the spine, it can relieve back and hip pain. Even after going to bed with an aching spine, our lead tester woke up "pain free". Our biggest complaint is reserved for motion isolation, as the lack of cushioning results in a slightly bouncy feel. However, unless your partner is a very restless sleeper, this shouldn't be an issue. With $400 off all sizes in the Saatva Black Friday sale, a queen is now only $1,445 (was $1,845), matching the lowest price we've seen this year.

Benefits: 365-night trial | Lifetime warranty | Free white glove delivery

Price history: The Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid typically falls into the premium price bracket, although a good Saatva mattress sale nudges it down into upper mid-range. While pricey, this is the cheapest bed in the Saatva line-up and the best way to try Saatva luxury on a budget. The $400 off sale is the biggest discount we see on the Memory Foam Hybrid, so now is the time to buy.

Still prefer the sound of the Classic? Here we go...

If you still prefer the sound of the Classic, you've picked an excellent time to buy it. Like the Memory Foam Hybrid, there's $400 off all sizes of the Classic, which pushes the price of a queen down to $1,695 from $2,095 - that's the lowest price we've seen in months and a price we're unlikely to see again this year. It tops our best hybrid mattress guide, thanks in part to its high quality build and customizable options that make it suitable for all types of sleepers. After retesting it for Black Friday, it scored near-perfect scores in our Saatva Classic mattress review, providing exceptional comfort, reliable temperature regulation, excellent edge support and superb motion isolation.
