Both Naturepedic and Saatva make mattresses with price tags firmly in the luxury bracket, but are they worth the money? Both brands make great mattresses, too, but which is greatest when it comes to suiting your sleeping style? That's what we're here to find out.
In this Naturepedic vs Saatva comparison, we’re pitting the Naturepedic Concerto Organic Pillow Top vs the Saatva Classic to see which mattress is most worth your investment.
The Saatva Classic is our top best mattress pick, offering a perfect blend of comfort and support. Naturepedic has a deserved reputation of making some of the best organic mattresses on the market. But with both mattresses costing over $2,000 at full MSRP, these are considerable investments.
So, which is best for you? Let’s delve in under the covers for a closer look.
Saatva Classic vs Naturepedic Concerto mattress: Price & trial
- The Saatva Classic is regularly offered at 12-15% off MSRP, or sometimes through a tiered money-off system
- Naturepedic generally offers a 20% discount around major sales events
- The Saatva has more generous benefits than the Naturepedic
Saatva rarely sells the Saatva Classic at full MSRP. If you don't see a discount, it's always worth holding on for the next price cut. Expect to get between 12-15% off, or tiered money-off deals increasing with the size of the mattress. You can normally pick up a queen mattress for $1,696, a lot less than its MSRP of $2,095.
Although not a cheap mattress by any standards, we think the Saatva Classic is excellent value for money considering its hotel quality feel. You’d pay a lot more for a mattress of this quality in store, but Saatva is able to keep the price down by operating online without any bricks and mortar stores.
Naturepedic also offers generous discounts around major sales events and is still running its 4th of July sales and offers. That means a queen Naturepedic Concerto is currently $2,199.20 (MSRP $2,799), which is a considerable saving. Yes, it’s still a lot more expensive than the Saatva, but you're paying for a 100% organic mattress and these generally come with a higher price tag.
When it comes to the perks, Saatva wins hands down here. The company offers a 365-night trial, lifetime warranty and free white glove delivery that includes removal of your old mattress and bed frame if required. The only area the brand slightly falls down on is the returns fee: you'll have to pay $99 if you decide the mattress isn’t for you.
In contrast, Naturepedic only offers a 100-night trial and 25-year warranty. The latter is probably OK given the likely lifespan of any mattress, but the trial period seems a little conservative compared to Saatva's full year. The free shipping here extends only to your doorstep, but you do get free returns if things don't work out.
Saatva Classic vs Naturepedic Concerto mattress: Materials & Design
- The Naturepedic Concerto is 13” in height
- The Saatva Classic comes in two heights – 11.5” and 14.5”
- Both mattresses are hybrids, but the Saatva is an innerspring hybrid
The Naturepedic Concerto is made up of a whopping eight layers, starting with a quilt made of organic cotton fabric, organic wool batting and a PLA comfort layer. PLA is a plant-based, non-toxic, cotton-looking synthetic fiber material which helps improve moisture wicking.
Underneath is an organic latex layer for pressure relief, followed by an organic cotton fabric insulator which sits on top of high-density microcoils. An organic cotton pillow top encasement divides the microcoils from another layer of encased coils with reinforced edges. Finally, there’s another thin layer of organic cotton batting, all of which is held within an organic cotton fabric encasement.
Underneath the 3” thick Euro pillow top of the Saatva Classic, which is made with organic cotton and zoned quilting in the middle for extra lumbar support, you’ll find a CertiPUR-US certified memory foam layer that’s specifically geared towards healthy spinal alignment.
Next up, a layer of individually wrapped 14.5-gauge recycled steel coils sit on top of a support base made up of 13-gauge tempered steel support coils. This is all wrapped up in a foam encasement around the perimeter to stabilize the whole mattress. The different heights Satvaa offers come from differing spring heights.
Saatva Classic vs Naturepedic Concerto mattress: Comfort & Support
- The Naturepedic Concerto is a plush soft mattress, with a firmness rating of 5/10
- The Saatva Classic is available in three firmness options – we tested the Luxury Firm (7/10 rating)
- The Naturepedic is best suited to side sleepers, while the Saatva has options to suit all styles of sleeper
During our Naturepedic Concerto Organic Pillow Top mattress review, our testers found the mattress to be surprisingly plush, rating it at a 5 out of 10 firmness - this places it in the soft or plush firmness category. You’ll sink into the Concerto, with Naturepedic's mattress offering plenty of pressure relief around the shoulders and hips. This is an ideal choice for side sleepers.
Despite its plusher feel, the Concerto snaps back into shape immediately after a sleeper’s weight is removed thanks to the supportive and springy double layer of coils. This means that back sleepers of a light and average build should also find the mattress comfortable and supportive, but we wouldn’t recommend it to heavier sleepers or those who sleep on their front.
The Saatva Classic is available in three firmness options and two heights. The only difference, thickness-wise, is the height of the springs inside, as everything else is the same. We tested the Luxury Firm in our Saatva Classic mattress review, which is the brand’s most popular comfort level and is, according to Saatva, designed to suit all sleeping positions.
We’d agree with this. We rate it as one of the best mattresses for back pain and it proves a comfortable choice for most sleepers. Lightweight side sleepers may find it a little too firm though.
At the softer end of the scale, the Plush Soft version is one of the best mattresses for side sleepers who will feel cushioned at their pressure points of hips and shoulders. The Firm option is one of our best firm mattresses picks and ideally suited for heavier builds and stomach sleepers.
Overall, the Saatva Classic does it all, offering excellent pressure relief, keeping the spine aligned and offering plenty of cushioning comfort through a variety of different styles.
Saatva Classic vs Naturepedic Concerto mattress: Temperature control
- The Naturepedic Concerto is made with naturally breathable organic materials and coils for plenty of airflow
- The Saatva Classic has a breathable cover and a double layer of coils that provide lots of space for air to circulate
- Both mattresses do a good job of keeping sleepers cool
Despite its plush feel, the Naturepedic Concerto does a great job of keeping sleepers cool at night. Primarily this is due to the fact that it’s made with naturally breathable materials such as cotton and latex. These prevent heat from building up and help to wick it away from the body. The double layer of coils is a secondary factor, helping to keep air flowing through the mattress.
The best hybrid mattresses, like the Naturepedic and Saatva examples here, generally sleep cooler than their memory foam counterparts because their coils allow more air to circulate. This is certainly also true with the Saatva Classic, which never made any of our testers hot at night.
As well as the coils, the Saatva also has a breathable cover and very little foam in its construction, all of which help to keep sleepers cool and comfortable at night.
