Yes, that's a lot of specs packing into one mattress. It's a mix of layering of high-density supportive memory foam over separate steel coils that conform to body movements, over an anti-sagging base steel coil that facilitates airflow. While Saatva belongs to the breed of boxed mattresses that you’d typically find online (and then squeezed into a dreadful shipping box), it actually exceeds the standard of traditional luxury innerspring sold in upscale stores.

Saatva’s Classic Mattress is the remedy that's saved me. That now seems like eons ago, as I’ve already forgotten what those countless miserable nights on a lumpy mattress had done to my sleep quality. That should tell you two things: One, during my short adult life to date, I’ve only slept on NYU’s beaten-up twin XL and Ikea’s creaky budget find two, by extension, for four years. It was just about one year after my college graduation when I got the Saatva Classic mattress. For this price tag, it better be perfect, and to me, it is. So, if you also like cloud-like, sink-in plushness, this one is for you. I get support and a fluffy, squishy feel. It offers a completely plush feel, but I took it one level further by also adding the Down Mattress Pad, and now it honestly feels like a cloud.Īll in all, this is the bed I get into (more like sink into) every night and think it's absolutely the one for me. All this talk of support brings me to my next point: No, it's not stiff and firm. Side sleeping often causes me back pain, but this one offers enough support to combat that. I usually fall asleep on my back and wake up on my side. When you lay on top of it, you can feel the difference in layers and how it effects your body. The hybrid mattress contains five times the amount of coils as a traditional coil mattress, meaning the support is really there and goes deep down. This mattress was specifically constructed to be firm in the middle to offer you extra back support, while being softer around the head and feet still for comfort. As a brand, if you only sell one mattress, it has to be really fucking great, and this one is.įirst, let's talk support. People often think support and softness don't go together, but they do and Parachute achieves the perfect blend with the one and only mattress it sells. I had a few laundry list items to check: I wanted something sustainable (which is important to me, but no judgement) and something supportive, but also fluffy. While I wouldn't recommend this choice to everyone, I'll tell you why it works for me. The Parachute Eco Comfort Mattress is my hands-down winner. Here's what we actually sleep on every night.Īs mentioned, I've tested four mattresses in the last year, and I will finally name my favorite. Some of us tested new mattresses in search of an upgrade, and a few refused to replace their beloved ones, choosing to rave about what's kept them rested for years instead.

I enlisted 10 staffers on a sleep experiment to see how they sleep, what they sleep on, and why they like what they like. We know the best tequilas, the best hotels, the best sneakers, and so we, of course, have to know the best way to sleep. Here at Esquire, we love to determine what's the best of the best. This brought me to think about what really is the best way to help people find what they need while shopping virtually for a mattress that arrives in a box. I like it plush and fluffy, a nightmare blend for many. My answer isn't simple-sorry-but it is consistent: “It depends on what you like.” While being a self-proclaimed expert has its perks, it doesn’t make me the sayer of all. So, where do you even start? The amount of brands in the game now just makes the world of sleeping even more difficult to navigate.Īs a self-proclaimed home testing expert, I have tried four mattresses in the last year alone, and as result, I constantly get asked about which one is really worth buying. Now, you’re here, in the very spot people find themselves every five years or so, looking for a mattress on the internet. My friends, that’s what we call consumerism. The once long-shot design is now the way we shop regularly, and that huge shift in the home industry happened in barely a decade. And what felt innovative in 2014 now feels, well, normal as many other direct-to-consumer brands have followed. How do they fit inside? How do you know if they're any good? Can you vacuum seal metal springs? What is all-foam? Despite all the reasons it felt like it would be a business venture doomed to fail, Casper was right. I remember the first time I heard about the mattress in a box concept.
