There are plenty of deals popping up for Labor Day, but this one is not to be missed. For a limited time, there’s $400 off all sizes of the Saatva Classic. That’s not an offer that’s open to everyone – you’ll need to click that code above to unlock the discount.

The Saatva Classic is our very favorite mattress – it sits right at the top of our best mattress ranking, and is about the closest thing you’ll find to hotel bed luxury in your own home. You can also adjust it to your exact preferences, with a choice of three firmness levels and two height options (the taller is particularly luxe-feeling). 

In our Saatva Classic review, our testing panel praised the balance of dreamy comfort and excellent support created by the combination of pressure-relieving coils and cushioning pillow-top. The extra section of memory foam in the central third boosts support beneath your lumbar to keep the sleeper’s spine healthily aligned. 

Our link knocks the price of a queen size down to $1,595 from a ticket price of $1,995. There are cheaper options in the Labor Day mattress sales, but if you can afford it, this is well worth the investment. (To amp up your value for money, Saatva offers the most comprehensive package of extras you’ll find anywhere, including a year’s trial and free white glove delivery.)

Buy it if…

✅ You want a luxurious mattress: With a pillowy Euro-top and impeccable build quality, the Classic looks and feels like a hotel bed. The taller option is particularly luxurious. This brand also won’t let you down when it comes to extras – there’s free white-glove delivery to your bedroom, and you’ve got a full year to make sure it’s the right choice for you.

✅ You sleep hot: The fact that it’s predominantly coils rather than foam means air can move through the mattress, and it won’t cling on to body heat. Our testers slept cool throughout our review period, and we’d recommend the Classic to anyone who struggles with overheating.

✅ You suffer from back pain: The Classic is designed to keep your spine aligned, with a section of memory foam in the central third to provide extra support to the lumbar. The option to pick from three firmness levels also means you can go for the version that fits your sleep style and ensure the correct balance of soft versus sturdy.

Don’t buy it if…

❌ You like the sink-in feel of memory foam: There’s only a tiny bit of memory foam here, and the Classic is a mattress you sleep ‘on top of’ rather than sinking too far into. For a luxurious mattress with more of a body hugging feel, consider the Helix Midnight Luxe – on sale with 25% off for Labor Day (read more in our Midnight Luxe hands-on review).

❌ You’re on a tight budget: While the Saatva Classic warrants the higher price tag (and is cheaper than usual right now), it’s still a bit of an investment mattress. Our favorite similar-but-cheaper alternative is the DreamCloud. That model has 40% off for Labor Day, so a queen costs $799 – read more in our DreamCloud Mattress review. 

❌ You’re a very light sleeper: The mainly-springs design of the Classic has a touch of motion transfer (that’s especially true of the Plush Soft version). If you’re a light sleeper and share a bed, you might want something more foam-based, which isolates movement better. 

Not sure if the Classic is right for you?
