Saatva Solaire Mattress Review 2025: A Truly Customizable Mattress for Couples

Saatva Solaire mattress firmness and sleeper types

What really sets this mattress apart is the fact that the firmness of the Solaire is adjustable, making it appropriate for almost everyone.

It might take some experimentation during the trial period to find your ideal firmness on the Solaire, but it’s very easy to adjust the firmness up and down and then set the remote to remember your preferred firmness rating, and you can change it whenever you want. 

I do think that even with this adjustable firmness system, the Solaire doesn’t quite reach the levels of true firmness found on other mattresses, especially the Saatva Classic. At the highest number, I would say the Solaire gets to a medium-firm to firm rating, which should be firm enough for most everyone seeking a firm mattress and at the lowest number, the Solaire is a medium-soft to soft, which is extremely plush.

Probably the biggest advantage to this is that if you’re sharing these mattresses (and it’s definitely designed for couples), neither of you have to really compromise on firmness. I can see a small percentage of people not finding the Solaire firm enough for their liking, even at the highest setting, but it would be a rare case. 

Saatva Solaire mattress performance

Edge support

A mattress with subpar edge support can be tough for couples because the “roll-off” feeling sleepers report on mattresses without good edge support can cause seriously interrupted sleep.
In testing, I found the Saatva Solaire to have solid edge support, although the firmness settings did have a minor impact. The edge support on the firmer settings is a bit stronger than the softer ones, but even so I don’t see it being an issue.   

Motion isolation

Saatva beds aren’t known for having exceptional motion isolation, mostly because its most popular models are responsive hybrid beds. The Saatva Solaire mattress is significantly different, though, and has great motion isolation. 

Because the air chambers that make up the support layer of the bed are split down the middle of the mattress, movement from your partner won’t transfer through the support layer and impact your sleep. You might feel some motion transfer through the comfort foams, but the support layer is the primary culprit of motion transfer, and you won’t have much to worry about on Solaire. 

There’s no getting around the fact that the Saatva Solaire is an expensive mattress. Given its specialized design, this is no surprise. It also comes in some unique configurations like “upper-flex” queen and king. This works specifically with Saatva’s adjustable base and allows for the head of the bed to be adjusted independently without being a full split model, which isn’t something we usually see. 

Saatva mattresses will regularly go on discount through the year, which should save you a bit of money on the Solaire, and if you’re interested in the adjustable base to go with it, you can usually get a bundle deal as well to help bring the price down further.

Saatva Solaire mattress policies

Free shipping (white glove delivery)

Unlike most online mattresses that are rolled up and packaged tightly in plastic and then shipped to you in a large box, Saatva ships all of its beds fully expanded with in-home setup and removal of your old mattress (if you choose). This is often called “white glove delivery.”

This can be especially nice if you don’t want to deal with unboxing a mattress, which isn’t too difficult, but if you struggle to lift things, it can be a hassle. The bigger hassle is getting rid of your old bed, which can actually cost a bit of money, and with any mattress from Saatva, you won’t have to deal with it.

365-night trial 

All Saatva mattresses come with an extra-long trial period of 365 nights in comparison with the usual standard of 100 nights. So you have quite a while to really test it out and see if you like it. 

Keep in mind that it can take a month or longer for your body to adjust to a new mattress, no matter how well-suited it is to your sleeping preferences. The trial period begins the day the mattress is delivered, not when you actually start sleeping on it.

Return policy

At any point after the first 30 nights post-delivery you decide the Saatva Solaire mattress isn’t for you for any reason, you can return it and get a refund. You just contact the company, and it will coordinate with a third party to pick up the mattress for you and then the bed is usually donated. 

There is a $99 fee to return any mattress from Saatva.  It used to be one of the only brands that has a return fee, but more and more online brands now have a similar fee.

Warranty

All Saatva mattresses are backed by a lifetime warranty, which is above and beyond the usual online mattress standard of 10 years.

Like pretty much any warranty that lasts longer than 10 years, this warranty is tiered and offers more protection in the first 10 years in comparison to the years after.
