Saatva is known for making dependable mattresses with high-quality materials, and the Saatva Latex Hybrid is a popular offering from the company’s product line.
The Saatva Latex Hybrid is 12 inches tall and built with a combination of organic cotton, organic wool, natural latex, and pocketed coils made of recycled steel. It is medium firm (6) with significant bounciness and an impressive ability to resist overheating.

Testing Team Takeaways
To test the Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress, we had three people on our testing team each take the bed home with them for one week. Here are their initial observations.
Colin Simpson
Product Research Manager
Side sleeper
190 pounds
Talks in sleep (like a lot)
This mattress feels really durable and dependable, and I like that it has eco-friendly materials. As a side sleeper, I found its support to be good, but I would have preferred a bit more contouring for my hips and shoulders.
Mary Fenton
Head of Product Content
Hybrid sleeper
150 pounds
Sleeps with noise machine
Moving around on this mattress was extremely easy, which was great for me since I am a combination sleeper. The Saatva Latex Hybrid struck a great balance of cushioning and pushback, so I felt supported regardless of my sleeping position.
Jackson Lindeke
Executive Product Director
Side sleeper
180 pounds
Showers before bed
Like Colin, I thought the Saatva Latex Hybrid had enough support for me as a side sleeper, but pressure relief wasn’t a standout aspect of its performance. Where this mattress really shined for me was its ability to stay cool over many hours of sleep.

Side Sleepers
In our Test Lab, we found that the Saatva Latex Hybrid offered the most reliable and complete support to side sleepers who weigh over 130 pounds. The natural latex comfort layer provided good cushioning of the hips and shoulders and prevented sleepers from sinking deeply into the mattress.
Side sleepers under 130 pounds also liked the Saatva Latex Hybrid, but they found that it was a bit too firm to fully soften impact around their joints.
Back Sleepers
The Saatva Latex Hybrid is a strong choice for most back sleepers. Its bounce and light contouring accommodates the curvature of the lower back while also keeping the hips, midsection, and shoulders aligned.
Our testing found that it was best suited to back sleepers under 230 pounds. Some back sleepers with a higher body weight said that the Saatva Latex Hybrid was softer than ideal and allowed their abdomen to sink a bit too far into the bed.
Stomach Sleepers
The Saatva Latex Hybrid isn’t the perfect mattress for stomach sleepers, but it delivers quality support, especially to those who weigh under 230 pounds.
Stomach sleepers usually get the best results from a firm mattress that stays flat and steady even when weight is applied. The Saatva Latex Hybrid has enough pushback and bounce to avoid excessive sinkage, but in our testing, it still felt softer than many stomach sleepers preferred. That sentiment was most clearly stated by stomach sleepers over 230 pounds.
In addition to the hands-on feedback from our team, we conduct a number of quantitative tests in our Test Lab. The below ratings are based on the experience of our testers.
Motion Isolation
6
/ 10
“The downside of the springiness of this mattress is that there’s quite a bit of motion transfer. When you move, vibrations ripple out, and it may be enough to affect the sleep of a bed partner.” – Mary
There is considerable motion transfer on the Saatva Latex Hybrid. The coils and latex are bouncy materials, which can cause vibrations to spread when someone moves on the mattress.
Many people can sleep through light vibrations, but this mattress isn’t the right fit for people who are easily awakened and share their bed with someone who moves around a lot in their sleep.
Pressure Relief
7.5
/ 10
“Pressure relief from the Saatva Latex Hybrid is solid. It doesn’t have deep contouring, but the Talalay latex has an inviting feel and does enough to cushion key pressure zones.” – Colin
The Saatva Latex Hybrid is designed to relieve pressure without closely hugging your body. Instead, the latex just lightly contours in response to your body’s weight.
For the majority of sleepers, this amount of pressure relief works to keep the spine aligned and minimize impact with the mattress surface. But it may not suit people who want plushness or deep contouring.
Temperature Control
8.5
/ 10
“The Saatva Latex Hybrid is a great option for people who tend to sleep hot. All of the materials resist heat buildup. On this mattress, you’re more likely to need a blanket than to overheat.” – Jackson
The Saatva Latex Hybrid excels at temperature regulation.
Latex is naturally heat-resistant, and tiny perforations in the latex let airflow whisk away any heat that does start to collect. Air can also flow freely through the coils and the layers made of breathable wool and cotton.
Edge Support
8
/ 10
“Despite a bit of compression around the perimeter, the Saatva Latex Hybrid has quality edge support. I felt stable and secure when sleeping or sitting around the edge.” – Colin
Our testing found reliable edge support from the Saatva Latex Hybrid. It stayed strong around the perimeter when sitting and when lying down.
You can feel the latex compress a bit around the edge, but the material quickly bounces back. The thick coils also prevent the edges from buckling.
Ease of Movement
8.5
/ 10
“I frequently switch my sleeping position, and that was a breeze on this mattress. It had the right level of bounce and contouring for easy movement.” – Mary
Our team found it incredibly easy to move around on the Saatva Latex Hybrid. Talalay latex is remarkably responsive, providing bounce that helps you adjust your body’s position. The underlying coils also add a springiness that facilitates movement.
As a result, this bed is a good fit for combination sleepers and others who regularly change how their body is positioned in bed.
Off-Gassing
8.5
/ 10
“Since this mattress gets delivered and installed without being compressed, it really doesn’t off-gas. There’s just a light smell of latex that goes away in a snap.” – Jackson
The Saatva Latex Hybrid has virtually no issues with off-gassing. It doesn’t contain any foam materials, which are the primary contributor to off-gassing. The mattress uses high-end, eco-conscious materials that don’t have a strong chemical scent.
In addition, the Saatva Latex Hybrid comes with White Glove delivery and isn’t compressed for shipping. This means that smells from the manufacturing process don’t get trapped in the mattress. The latex can have a minor rubbery smell, but our team found that it went away within 12 to 24 hours.
Saatva Latex Hybrid Mattress Review Breakdown
The Saatva Latex Hybrid is built with high-quality materials and an eye toward sustainability. It measures 12 inches tall and has a firmness level of medium firm (6).
The mattress’ Euro-top cover is made with organic cotton. Underneath the cover, a layer of wool batting acts as a fire barrier and a source of cushioning. The wool is certified organic by the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS).
The comfort layer of the Saatva Latex Hybrid is a 3-inch layer of zoned, natural Talalay latex. This material is known for its bouncy feel and light contouring that adapts to the body’s weight. Small holes throughout the layer promote cooling airflow.
The support core features tall pocketed coils laid out in a zoned configuration. This means that thicker coils are arranged near the perimeter and under heavier areas, like the midsection. Below the coils is a pad made of organic cotton and wool for extra stability and reduced noise.
The Saatva Latex Hybrid’s price is on par with or above the average price of latex hybrid mattresses. Natural latex and organic materials are more expensive to produce, making the Saatva Latex Hybrid pricier than many hybrids with foam materials.
Compared to most mattresses, the Saatva Latex Hybrid offers the added benefit of free White Glove delivery, as well as a year-long sleep trial.
Saatva offers this mattress in all of the six standard mattress sizes and in a split king size.
Customers in the contiguous United States can purchase the Saatva Latex Hybrid. It is offered on the Saatva website and in Saatva’s physical stores, called Saatva Viewing Rooms, in over a dozen U.S. cities.
Shipping
For mattress customers in the 48 contiguous U.S. states, Saatva provides free White Glove delivery. This service includes installation of the Saatva Latex Hybrid and removal of an old mattress and foundation, if desired.
The mattress is delivered during a pre-arranged, four-hour window. It takes one to three weeks for the mattress to be manufactured and delivered.
Saatva does not ship directly to any locations outside the contiguous U.S. However, customers in Hawaii, Alaska, and other countries can contact Saatva about the possibility of working with a freight forwarding company that can facilitate delivery to more distant locations.
Additional Services
Installation and haul-away of an old mattress and foundation are included with your purchase as part of Saatva’s White Glove delivery service.
Sleep Trial
You have a 365-night sleep trial to test out the Saatva Latex Hybrid. If you request a return, Saatva will pick up the mattress from your home. You will be issued a refund minus a $99 return fee.
Warranty
The Saatva Latex Hybrid comes with a limited lifetime warranty covering defects in manufacturing or materials. The warranty terms vary based on how long you’ve had the mattress.
During the first two years, there is no charge for any warranty service, which includes providing a new mattress to replace one that is found to be defective.
After two years, Saatva will repair or replace a defective mattress, but you have to pay a $149 processing fee.
Saatva also has a Fairness Replacement Option program that is separate from the warranty itself. This program begins after you’ve had the mattress for two years, and it allows you to keep your existing mattress and get a brand-new one at a price that ranges from 50% to 80% of the full retail price.
