I bought a Saatva mattress in 2014, it's just about now we're getting a new one. I've found regular innerspring mattress have about a 6 to 8 yr lifespan. Loved my Saatva, but coiled mattress will give over time, just like foam.
Saatva Classic Mattress
The Saatva Classic is a luxury innerspring hybrid with a 365-night trial, lifetime warranty, and white-glove delivery โ the gold standard for luxury mattresses available in Canada.

We've had the Saatva Class Luxury Firm king for two years and I love it. Sleep great, stay cool. Have nothing but good things to say about it. Definitely better than any other mattress I've had. BTW, I hate memory foam mattresses -- so gross to sink in and they are hotter than hell.
We are now a couple years into having a saatva. Quite frankly, it sucks. I was getting aches and pains throughout the night. We called them not long after we got it and they sent us a pillow topper which helped a little, but the mattress is nothing special. For couples, if anybody moves the other feels it substantially.
We spent over $4k with Saatva; we are hardly cheapskates ... when I called Saatva to report we were having problems with our mattress, THEY sent us a topper as an attempt to fix the problem, not because we requested it ... It didn't work for me and, apparently, quite a few others.
Saatva classic luxury firm is the most painful bed I've ever slept on. Extremely uncomfortable, does not hold the body at all and very cheaply made. You can push your hand all the way through the mattress to the coils, it is CHEAPly made and they charge $2,100 for it ... It causes so much pain and pressure in the hips and shoulders. All of their claims in the description for the mattress are absolutely deceptive and I really don't like that.
โ What Works
- Long-term owners (2+ years) report continued comfort and would choose it again over memory foam
- Cooling performance is specifically praised by at least one owner who dislikes memory foam's heat retention
- Saatva proactively sends a complimentary topper to owners reporting discomfort, per multiple accounts
โ ๏ธ Worth Knowing
- Motion transfer is a specific, repeated complaint for couples โ a real consideration if you share the bed
- At $1,595-2,100+ CAD, the negative reports describe real disappointment relative to the price, not just mild preference
- Close but negative-leaning split (2 positive/3 negative of 5) โ worth testing in person or using the return window given the price
Owner mentions on the Saatva Classic lean negative but aren't one-sided โ 2 positive, 3 negative of 5, close enough that this reads as a genuine split rather than a clear miss. Satisfied owners report years of comfortable sleep and specifically prefer the innerspring feel over memory foam. The negative accounts are pointed, though: one owner describes ongoing aches and pain that a complimentary pillow topper only partially fixed, and another calls the $2,100+ price hard to justify against the discomfort they experienced. Motion transfer is a specific, repeated complaint for couples. At this price point, the split matters โ buy it if you specifically prefer an innerspring-style firm feel and can test it (or use the return window) first; the reported comfort and value complaints are real enough that this isn't a safe blind buy at this cost.
