I’m a sleep coach — the best mattress I’ve slept on is $400 off in Black Friday sales

Mattress testing is a big part of my job as a Senior Sleep Editor and Certified Sleep Science Coach, and the comfiest mattress I've slept on to date is the Saatva Classic. I think this luxury innerspring hybrid is well worth its full MSRP alone, so the fact that you can save $400 on the Saatva Classic at Saatva today is excellent value.

Saatva’s general public sale will save you up to $300 off the Classic, but our exclusive Saatva Black Friday sale offer saves you $400 on every size. The biggest saving is on the twin size – our deal saves you $400, whereas you’ll only save $200 in the brand’s general public sale. That's a great price for this year's best mattress.

Here’s why I recommend buying the Saatva Classic and why it’s one of this year's best Black Friday mattress deals if you have the budget…

The Saatva Classic (queen): $2,095 $1,695 at Saatva

Queen price last month: $1,795
Lowest price this year: $1,695
Lowest price last year: $1,595 (Labor Day)
Likelihood of further discount: Low

Our review score: ★★★★1/2
Average user review score: ★★★★★
Best for: Nearly all sleepers; those with aches and pains; lower back support
Avoid if: You and your partner weigh over 600lbs combined; you want a free sleep trial (Saatva charges a $99 admin fee for returns and exchanges)

Mattress summary: The Saatva Classic is the best hybrid mattress I’ve slept on (for context, I’ve slept on and tried hybrids from leading brands including DreamCloud, Nectar, Helix, Emma, Casper, and Simba). For me, the Classic excels in three specific areas. The first is a double whammy of pressure relief and lower back support. I still have twinges in my lower back and hips post-pregnancy, and the Classic is the first mattress in two years that has reduced all pain for me. The second area is edge support – it’s the strongest I’ve felt in a mattress, giving me and my family more space to spread out and sleep on every inch while still feeling supported. Lastly, the temperature control is excellent. I’m a very hot sleeper, but I sleep comfortably all night long on the Classic. Apart from a few minor cosmetic imperfections, I can’t fault this mattress.

Benefits: Year’s trial | Lifetime warranty | Free White Glove Delivery

If you need a new mattress urgently and want the Saatva Classic, our exclusive $400 discount is the biggest saving you’ll get on it right now. For context, the general monthly Saatva mattress sale will save you up to $300 off the largest size, with only $200 off the twin.

So until Saatva switches its general sale over to a proper Black Friday sale, my team has secured the biggest Saatva discount in town. I highly doubt the price of Saatva mattresses will drop any further this side of Christmas too, so there’s no reason to wait if you want to buy the Saatva Classic this Holiday season as I seriously doubt a bigger discount will arrive on it now.

I'll be updating our existing Saatva Classic mattress review with new testing data shortly. And if you need further guidance, my team has produced a guide to the best Saatva mattresses to help you choose between them.
