How the Saatva Rx is Made
The Saatva Rx mattress is designed to provide a comfortable sleep experience for people with chronic conditions such as herniated disc, arthritis, sciatica and scoliosis. Its dual-coil design and breathable foams combine to provide enhanced support and contouring. Read on to learn what goes into the Saatva Rx mattress.
Breathable Cover with Supportive Quilting
Let’s start with the cool and comfortable cover. Organic cotton makes this layer breathable to help regulate temperature. Plus, the Patented Lumbar Zone Quilting provides extra support in the center of the Saatva Rx mattres. It contains comfort foams and a nontoxic flame barrier made from thistle and wool. Add Saatva’s exclusive Guardin plant-based antimicrobial treatment and you have a fresh, comfy start to your sleep experience.
Gel-Infused Memory Foam
A 1/2-inch memory foam layer is infused with gel that draws heat away from the mattress. It also prevents body impressions from forming, so you get the same comfort and support every night. Along with the Lumbar Zone Quilting, this layer provides cooling technology with support in your lower back.
Contouring Micro-Coil
Saatva continues to innovate with its 1-inch, body contouring micro-coil layer. Unlike conventional coils, this extra flexible layer contours to your body’s natural shape. The result is pressure relief and a just-right firmness feel.
Plush Foam
Next, high-density foam encases the contouring micro-coil layer. At 2 3/4 inches, this plush layer provides support and comfort for your entire body. You’ll feel like you’re being cradled to sleep.
Responsive Coil Core with Edge Support
The 8-inch pocket coils provide even more pressure relief and contouring. Made of triple-tempered responsive steel, these durable coils conform to your body’s shape and adapt as you move. Just as important, the perimeter of the Saatva Rx features extra firm coils for edge support.

Cooling Foam Support Core
For even more pressure relief and temperature control, each pocketed coil is topped with a 2-inch Rx Foam Module. The unique Therapeutic Support Core has an open cell structure that promotes air flow. To help keep you cool, the foam is infused with graphite and phase change material. The individual foam modules also prevent motion transfer and enhance body contouring.
Eco Base Layer
It’s great to have all that pressure relief and body contouring, but stability is just as important. For that reason, the Saatva Rx has a non-woven, eco base layer below the 8-inch coils.
Choose Your Saatva Rx Mattress Size
It’s important to find the right size mattress for your home, whether you’re a single sleeper in an apartment or a couple in a master bedroom suite. At 15 inches high, Saatva Rx is available in standard mattress sizes.
- Twin — 38” x 75”
- Twin XL — 38” x 80”
- Full — 54” x 75”
- Queen — 60” x 80”
- King/Split — 75” x 80”
- Cali King — 72” x 84”
Firmness
The Saatva Rx has a plush feel, thanks to its contouring foam and coil layers. You would therefore find it at the soft end of the firmness scale. A soft or plush mattress is ideal for side sleepers and for people who prefer pressure relief at the hips, shoulders and back.
Saatva Rx Mattress Review: Pros and Any Limitations
Now that we’ve looked at Saatva Rx construction, it’s time to weigh advantages and disadvantages. We have researched and reviewed the Saatva Rx mattress. In our opinion, it offers the following benefits as well as a few minor limitations.

Pressure Relief and Support Where You Need It
It’s easy to see that the Saatva Rx mattress was designed with back comfort in mind. From the dual-coil layers to the Patented Lumbar Zone Quilting, this mattress offers maximum pressure relief to the spine, hips and shoulders. This technology received a seal of approval by the Congress of Chiropractic State Associations.
Your joints will appreciate the contouring memory foam and responsive coils, and your back will love the extra support in the center of the mattress. The comfort and support layers combine to weightlessly cradle your body to sleep.
Helps You Keep Your Cool
If you tend to sleep hot, you’ll love this mattress. Getting a good night’s sleep is no sweat, thanks to Saatva Rx’s advanced cooling technology. For starters, the quilted cover is made of breathable, organic cotton. The memory foam layer is infused with cooling gel that draws away heat. And if that’s not enough, the 8” coils are encased in a Therapeutic Foam Core that is infused with cooling graphite and phase change material.
Reduces Motion Transfer
A great feature for couples, the Therapeutic Foam Core helps reduce motion transfer. In other words, motion at one side of the mattress will stay right there.That means your partner won’t be disturbed if you move around or have to get out of bed. It’s one more way that the Saatva Rx helps you get a good night’s sleep.
Eco-Friendly
Besides enjoying great comfort and support, you’ll rest easy knowing that Saatva Rx is good for the planet. It contains CertiPUR-US certified foams that meet strict health and environmental standards. The quilted cover is made with organic cotton and features a nontoxic, botanical Guardin antimicrobial treatment. Even the flame barrier is made with natural, nontoxic thistle and wool.
Free White Glove Delivery
With free white glove delivery, you don’t have to lift a finger when your mattress arrives at your home. Saatva includes in-room delivery and setup with your purchase. They will even remove your old mattress at no extra charge.
365-Night Sleep Trial
It takes time to get used to a new mattress — even a luxury mattress designed for comfort. The Saatva Rx mattress comes with a 365-night home trial to give you time to do just that. That’s a whole year to try it out and decide if it’s a good fit. At any time within 365 days after your purchase, you can contact the company to arrange a return and refund.
There is one consideration regarding the home trial. Unlike some other mattress companies, Saatva charges a $99 fee with a return.
Not a Mattress in a Box
The Saatva Rx is not compressed, rolled or shipped in a box. Depending on your point of view, this can be an advantage or disadvantage. On the pro side, free white glove delivery lets you sit back while the delivery team carries your new mattress to your room and removes your old mattress. Your mattress also won’t be damaged from compression.
On the other hand, you have to schedule and wait for the delivery team. You don’t have the convenience of having your mattress shipped in a box while you’re at work.
Warranty
Saatva stands by its mattresses so you can have peace of mind about your purchase. The Saatva Rx comes with a lifetime warranty, known as the “Friends for Life” warranty. Over the lifetime of your purchase, Saatva will replace a mattress that is damaged due to manufacturer defects. As the years go by, you will have to pay a portion of the replacement cost.
Always read warranty terms before buying, because a warranty can change at any time.
Saatva Rx Mattress Review: Final Thoughts
Using innovative technologies and materials, Saatva has created a luxury mattress specifically for people with serious and chronic back and joint conditions. From the quilted cover to the dual-coil construction, Saatva Rx offers many features that are designed to help relieve discomfort associated with these conditions.
The Patented Lumbar Zone Quilting, for example, provides enhanced support for the spine and joints. The flexible micro-coil layer and responsive pocket coils provide pressure relief. Finally, the memory foam contours to your shape and cradles your body.
You’ll sleep cool on the Saatva Rx mattress, too. From gel-infused memory foam to the open cell Therapeutic Support Core, Saatva uses advanced cooling technology in this mattress.
There are potential disadvantages to the Saatva Rx. You must pay a fee if you return your mattress during the 365-night home trial. Although white glove delivery has its advantages, it may not be as convenient as delivery in a box.
Besides comfort and support, Saatva Rx is a planet-friendly product. It meets CertiPUR-US environmental standards and features a botanical antimicrobial treatment. From the organic cotton cover to the nontoxic flame barrier, this is a mattress you can feel good about bringing into your home.
