Saatva tops our best mattress of 2024 guide for all sleepers with the Saatva Classic mattress, which brings five-star hotel luxury into your home with its exceptional comfort and support that suits all sleeping styles.

There’s not always a sale at Saatva on, so you have to choose the right time to buy. Thankfully, now is one of the best times of year, with the Black Friday mattress sales launching, and the Saatva Black Friday sales are offering $400 off the best Saatva mattresses over $1,000, including the Saatva Classic with a queen down to just $1,695 (was $2,095). So, let's see what's included in the white glove delivery on offer.
What is white glove delivery?
White glove delivery is a premium service that goes just beyond standard shipping. It’s a service typically offered by luxury mattress brands and it involves your mattress of choice being taken to the room where you’d like it set up.
The delivery crew will then unpack and place your mattress on the base to ensure they’re set up correctly. They will then also remove the packaging from your new bed and dispose of it responsibly. White glove delivery is a luxury service because it saves the consumer a lot of time and effort.
White glove delivery is also a great perk if you want to get rid of your old mattress as this is often included in the service as standard. Whilst some brands including Saatva, Tempur-Pedic and Cocoon by Sealy offer white glove delivery for free, some brands offer the service as an added extra.
Nectar for example charge $199 for white glove delivery whilst Bear charges $100 but offer a customisable approach to the service. GhostBed are the most expensive when it comes to white glove delivery charging $279. However, when it comes to white glove service it is worth noting that sometimes the exact nature of the services can vary from brand to brand so always read the fine print.

In room delivery and set-up
Saatva’s White Glove Delivery service includes in-room delivery and the professional setup of your new mattress. You are able to schedule your delivery at a time that is convenient to you and you’ll be given a four-hour time window the day before your chosen day so that you don’t have to wait around all day.

However, you do need to make sure that some rules are followed when it comes to delivery such as ensuring the delivery path is clear and accessible for the team, securing any pets and keeping children out of the way to ensure everyone is kept safe.
Old mattress removal
As part of Saatva’s White Glove Delivery service, they will remove your old mattress. They will even remove your old foundation (or box spring) if you need them to.
