. . .My wife and I had high hopes, but unfortunately have not had a good experience and wake up every morning with neck and shoulder pain.

What's the scoop?
Saatva® uses antiquated, connected springs that cause high motion transfer and compromise support. With cheap, overseas materials that don't hold up, and a warranty that's only half as strong, the math just doesn't add up.

How does it affect me?
Unsupportive mattresses cause you to dip in the middle and push your spine out of alignment, creating pressure that builds up over time and can cause or worsen back pain
Back Science® patent-pending Lumbar-Flex™ technology lifts under your low-back area and fills in the gaps in your support to provide the optimal spinal alignment you need to get a good night's rest.
How Back Science works
To keep your back in proper alignment and give you restful, restorative sleep
Relieve pressure points
Hypergel surface layers keep you floating on the mattress while relieving pressure from your shoulders, hips, and joints.
Sleep cooler
*Patented airflow cooling technology makes Back Science up to 100Xs more breathable and gives you cooler sleep, all night long.
Don't feel your partner toss
1,000-count, motion-isolating, individual pocketed coils absorb motion while giving you the lifting comfort your back needs.
Don't roll off the side
Dual-action quantum edge coils and support barrier reinforce the sides of the mattress and keep you from rolling off the side.
Never sink into a hole
Double interlocking lumbar support zone prevents dipping or hammocking in the middle and keeps your spine in proper alignment.
*1,000-count coil system and airflow transfer technology only available on Back Science hybrid models.
We set the bar for back pain relief — and keep raising it
Back Science® is the result of over 25 years of design innovation and community collaboration. Through extensive research, careful sourcing, and meticulous manufacturing, we continue to exceed industry standards and bring you a sleep system that's safe, effective, and comfortable
