You've probably seen the ads. Elegant rooms, white-glove delivery people looking way too happy to be carrying a heavy mattress, and that "luxury for less" tagline that sounds a little like marketing fluff. But if you’re actually looking to upgrade your sleep, the numbers on the screen are the only thing that matters.
Buying a mattress isn't like buying a pair of shoes. It's a commitment. Honestly, the pricing structure for high-end beds can be a total maze.
So, how much does a Saatva mattress cost in 2026?
If you're looking for a quick answer, most adults will spend between $1,400 and $2,800 for a standard size. But that’s a massive range. A Twin for a guest room doesn't cost the same as a King for a primary suite, and the tech inside the mattress—whether it’s coils, memory foam, or adjustable air chambers—swings the price wildly.
Let's break down the actual costs, the hidden fees (spoiler: there aren't many), and how to avoid paying full price.

The Flagship: Saatva Classic Pricing
The Saatva Classic is the one everyone talks about. It’s an innerspring hybrid, which basically means it feels like those fancy hotel beds that actually support your back.
As of early 2026, the MSRP for a Queen Saatva Classic sits around $2,139.
Now, here is where it gets interesting. Saatva is almost never sold at full MSRP. They run sales basically 365 days a year. You’ll likely see that Queen price drop to about $1,839 during a standard promotion, or even lower during holiday events like Presidents' Day or Black Friday.
The price also shifts slightly depending on the height. You can choose between an 11.5-inch or a 14.5-inch profile. Usually, the price is the same for both, but some specific retailers or older inventory might have a $20 difference.
Size Breakdown for the Classic (Estimated Sale Prices)
- Twin: ~$1,099
- Full: ~$1,679
- Queen: ~$1,839
- King/Cal King: ~$2,249
- Split King: ~$2,678
If you’re looking for a bargain, this is technically their "entry-level" luxury model, even though it feels more premium than most "mattress in a box" brands.
Specialty Beds: When You Need Something Specific
Not everyone wants a hybrid. Some people need the body-hugging feel of foam, or maybe you're a heavier sleeper who needs a bed that won't sag after six months.
The Loom & Leaf is their high-density memory foam option. It’s significantly pricier because the foam is heavy and expensive to manufacture. A Queen usually retails for $2,999, though sales often knock it down to the $2,550 range. It’s dense. It’s cool. It’s meant to compete with Tempur-Pedic but for a few thousand dollars less.
Then there’s the Saatva HD. This is a beast of a mattress designed for sleepers weighing up to 500 lbs. Because it uses higher-gauge coils and extra-durable materials, you're looking at about $2,995 for a Queen.

For the eco-conscious, the Zenhaven (all-latex) and the Saatva Latex Hybrid are the go-to choices. Latex is incredibly durable—it lasts forever—but it carries a premium. Expect to pay around $2,200 to $3,500 depending on which model and size you pick.
The "Smart" Bed: Saatva Solaire
This is the most expensive thing they sell. It’s an adjustable air bed with 50 different firmness settings. If you and your partner can't agree on how firm a bed should be, this is the fix.
- Queen MSRP: ~$4,599
- Sale Price: Often around $4,074
It’s a massive investment, but for people with chronic back pain, it’s often the only thing that works.
Hidden Costs vs. Included Perks
One thing that drives me crazy about mattress shopping is the "add-on" trap. You think you're spending $1,500, and then suddenly the cart is $2,200 because of shipping and "mandatory" protection plans.
Saatva does this differently.
White Glove Delivery is free. They don't just drop a box on your porch and leave you to struggle with 120 lbs of dead weight. A team actually brings it into your bedroom, sets it up, and—this is the best part—they’ll take your old mattress away for free. Most companies charge $150+ for that service alone.
However, there is one "hidden" cost to keep in mind: The $99 return fee. Saatva gives you a 365-night trial. That’s a full year to decide if you like it. If you hate it, they’ll come pick it up and give you a refund, but they keep $99 to cover the labor of the pickup. It’s fair, but it’s something to put in your budget just in case.
How to Get the Best Price (The Insider Strategy)
If you pay the price you see on the first day you visit the site, you might be overpaying.
- The "Click-Away" Coupon: Sometimes, if you stay on the site for a while and then move your mouse to close the tab, a "Wait! Take an extra $50 off" pop-up appears. It doesn't always work, but it's worth a shot.
- Professional Discounts: Are you a teacher, nurse, first responder, or in the military? Saatva has a standing $225 discount for orders over $1,000. You just have to verify your ID through a system like ID.me.
- Bundle the Foundation: If you need a new base anyway, buying the mattress and the foundation together often triggers a "Buy More, Save More" discount that's better than the standalone mattress sale.
- The 2026 Sales Cycle: Major holidays are the peak. But honestly, the "MLK Day" or "President's Day" sales often start two weeks early and end a week late. Don't feel rushed by the countdown timers on the site; they almost always reset.
Why Does It Cost This Much?
Look, you can buy a mattress for $400 at a big-box store. So why spend $2,000?
It mostly comes down to the coil-on-coil construction and the organic materials. Most cheap mattresses use a single layer of springs or just a big block of cheap foam. The Saatva Classic uses two layers of coils. This prevents that "sinking into a hole" feeling after two years.
Also, they use a botanical antimicrobial treatment and organic cotton covers. If you have allergies or care about off-gassing (that weird chemical smell new beds have), the extra few hundred dollars usually feels worth it once you actually lay down on it.
Your Next Steps for a Better Night's Sleep
Buying a mattress is a big financial move, but it's also a health move. If you're ready to pull the trigger, here’s how to handle it:
- Measure your current bed frame. The 14.5-inch Classic is tall. If you have a high bed frame, you might need a step ladder to get into bed. Opt for the 11.5-inch if you want to keep a lower profile.
- Check the "Viewing Room" locations. If you live near a major city like New York, LA, or Chicago, go to a Saatva Viewing Room. You can't buy anything there (it's all online), but you can lay on the beds without a salesperson hovering over you.
- Verify your discount. If you qualify for those professional discounts, get your ID verified before you put the mattress in your cart to see the real final price.
- Clear the path. Since they provide white-glove delivery, make sure the hallway is clear. They’re doing the heavy lifting, but they need a clear shot to your bedroom.
Bottom line: Expect to spend about $1,800 to $2,200 for a quality Queen-size setup. If it's on sale for less than that, you're getting a great deal. If it's more, wait a week for the next holiday cycle.
