Club Benefits
Here at Tom's Guide we're huge fans of the Saatva Classic. It's as close to perfect as you can get if you're looking for a mattress, delivering hotel-style luxury with firmness options for every sleep style. In fact, we think the Classic, now $1,879 (was $2,179) in a queen at Saatva, has a high quality hybrid design that's worth its premium price tag.
Plenty of people are happy to invest in the Saatva Classic — after all, it sits right at the top of our best mattress guide and scored full marks across the board in our review, and it's guaranteed to provide an extremely comfortable and supportive night's sleep. But if you're looking for a different mattress style or working with a smaller budget, we've picked out three alternatives that are comparable to the Saatva Classic.
And if you are ready to upgrade your sleep, now is an excellent time to buy. Not only is the Saatva Classic always discounted in the Saatva mattress sales, our top three alternatives can also be found in this month's mattress sales (and will likely receive bigger price drops in the upcoming 4th of July mattress sales). With that in mind, here are our top three Saatva Classic alternatives to shop this month...
Top 3 mattresses comparable to the Saatva Classic
Why we chose our 3 Saatva Classic alternatives
1. The DreamCloud Classic
The DreamCloud Classic is our most affordable choice in our best luxury mattress guide as, despite having a premium design, it has a mid-range price of $649 for a queen. We awarded the DreamCloud 5 out of 5 in terms of value for money, as its industry leading benefits paired with a luxury design for a mid-market price means you're getting a great deal.
Edge support, pressure relief, and temperature regulation all received near-perfect scores of 4 stars thanks to stable edges, cushioning comfort for side sleeping, and lack of heat buildup. The only thing that lets it down is it's motion isolation (our testers felt each other's movements), but this is definitely not a deal breaker.
2. The Nectar Premier
The Nectar Premier is a great memory foam alternative to the Saatva Classic, offering a blend of side-sleeper body contouring and back-sleeper support.It's also a top choice for couples, too, as its slow-moving foam dampens partner's movements (which is why we gave it a 4 out of 5 score for motion isolation).
It's also a cheaper choice than the Classic, as the Premier is one of the best mattress under $1,000 for a queen. While it supplies plenty of contouring in the shoulders and hips for side sleepers, we scored its pressure relief 3.24 out of 5 as it didn't provide enough support for stomach sleeping. Temperature control scored a 3.5 out of 5, but we still though the cooling properties were very good for an all-foam bed.
3. Helix Midnight Luxe
We tested the luxury firm version of the Saatva Classic, and while it was excellent for side sleeping, a couple of testers did report some pressure buildup in that position. While you can opt for the plusher firmness level, you can also choose the Helix Midnight Luxe, a bed designed especially for side sleeping.
The Helix Midnight Luxe is our top side sleeper entry in our best mattresses in a box guide, as it's plush pillow top is designed to cushion joints but its lumbar support makes it a great choice for back sleeping, too (we awarded it a near-perfect pressure relief score of 4.5). With a breathable Tencel cover, the Midnight Luxe scored a 4 out of 5 in our temperature regulation tests, and earned the same points in our value for money testing category — it's just as premium-priced as Saatva at $1,999 for a queen.
