Firmness Info

Medium firm comfort level suited for every type of sleeper. Specifically targetted to larger individuals. Saatva HD is specifically designed to support between 300 and 500 pounds. Twin and twin XL mattresses can accommodate up to 500 pounds. Full, queen, king, Cal king, and split king mattresses can accommodate up to 500 pounds on each side.

We make one model of mattress that is designed to be universally comfortable and medium firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. We like to describe it as firm enough to be supportive, yet soft enough to be comfortable!
We've designed our foam to work with those who like soft mattresses as well as those who like firm, so we encourage everyone to give us a try regardless of your usual preference. If you're not 100% satisfied, you can return it for a full refund.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

Introducing the Saatva HD, the first luxury hybrid innerspring mattress specifically engineered to support those who weigh between 300 and 500 pounds.

  • Organic Cotton Pillow Top
  • 2.5" Firm Talalay Latex
  • Contouring Comfort Layers (including 5lb Memory Foam)
  • High-Durability Coil Base
  • Edge Support.

Two-layer blended foam designed by and proprietary to Tuft & Needle:

  • The comfort foam layer is 3" of a very high-density foam that we created to achieve our universally comfortable, cool and responsive properties. The density is about 2.8 lbs/cubic ft.
  • The support foam layer is 7" of a high-density poly-foam. The density is about 1.8 lbs/cubic ft.

Comfort Info

All elements in the Saatva HD have been carefully considered to increase airflow throughout the mattress resulting in better temperature regulation.

Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress.
Heat Wicking
Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body.
Breathable
With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress.
No More Quicksand
Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply.

Support Info

High-density foam rails (1.8lb density) encase the top, bottom, and sides of the mattress. This firmer, more supportive edge makes it easier to get in and out of bed. All elements in the Saatva HD have been carefully considered to increase airflow throughout the mattress resulting in better temperature regulation.

Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot.

Comfort Specs

100% natural Talalay latex that is hypoallergenic, and cool. This works with open coils and the breathable organic cotton cover to promote easy airflow for a cooler night's sleep.

Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam
We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.

Support Specs

Tempered 12.5-gauge steel coils (25% stronger than the industry standard), threaded with 17-gauge helical wire to eliminate motion transfer. Patented Spinal Zone active wire adds lumbar support in the center third of the mattress.
5-zone Talalay latex feels buoyant and responsive. Resists body impressions and provides targeted support for your back and under your shoulders and hips.
A unique combination of memory foam and support foams contour and cushion for added pressure relief on your joints.

Supportive Base Layer
Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress.
Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.

Fabric Specs

The pillow top adds a layer of cushioning. Wrapped in a breathable organic cotton cover enhanced with Guardin® antimicrobial fabric treatment. Entire mattress is hand-tufted which prevents the shifting of the layers and eliminates body impressions by compression tufting.

Our plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.
Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.
