Saatva Crib Mattress

Firmness is one of the most critical features of any crib mattress, and Saatva clearly gets it right. The mattress features a dual-sided design, with each side clearly labeled for its intended age group.

The infant side is extra firm, flat, and supportive, aligning with pediatric sleep recommendations to help reduce the risk of SIDS. This surface keeps your baby well-supported, with no contouring or sink-in.

The toddler side remains firm but introduces a slightly more forgiving feel, offering comfort for growing bodies while still maintaining proper spinal alignment. This thoughtful design allows you to continue using the same mattress safely as your child grows, without compromising support.

Keeping your baby cool during sleep is essential, especially since infants are less able to regulate their body temperature. This is one area where the Saatva Crib Mattress truly excels.

The organic cotton cover promotes airflow across the sleep surface, preventing heat from trapping. Cotton naturally breathes better than synthetic fabrics, helping excess warmth dissipate rather than build up. Beneath the cover, the coil support core creates airflow channels throughout the mattress, allowing heat to escape from within the structure.

The inclusion of natural latex further enhances temperature regulation. Latex remains more temperature-neutral than memory foam and doesn’t hold onto heat. Together, these materials help maintain a cool, balanced sleep environment that feels fresh rather than stuffy – an important factor for safe infant sleep.

In a crib mattress, pressure relief isn’t about plushness; it’s about even support. The Saatva Crib Mattress achieves this through its combination of coils and latex, which help distribute your child’s weight evenly across the surface.

For infants, this ensures the sleep surface remains firm and stable without creating pressure points. For toddlers, the responsive materials help reduce pressure on growing joints while still maintaining a supportive, flat sleeping position.

The result is balanced support that prioritizes safety while still offering gentle comfort appropriate for each stage of development.

The mattress responds quickly to movement without feeling springy or unstable. The latex layer provides gentle responsiveness, while the individually wrapped coils adapt immediately to your child’s shifting positions.

This ensures continuous support throughout the night and prevents any lag or sink-in that could compromise sleep safety. The responsiveness feels controlled and supportive rather than bouncy, reinforcing the mattress’s focus on safety over softness.

While motion isolation is often discussed in adult mattresses, it also matters for babies who are exceptionally light sleepers. The Saatva Crib Mattress uses individually wrapped coils that move independently rather than as a single unit.

When pressure is applied to one area of the mattress, movement stays localized rather than spreading across the entire surface. This creates a calmer, more stable sleep environment and helps reduce unnecessary disturbances when your baby shifts positions or when you gently place them into the crib.

The mattress feels steady and controlled, not bouncy or reactive, which supports more consistent and restful sleep.

Strong edge support is another area where this crib mattress feels exceptionally well-built. The reinforced perimeter helps the mattress maintain its shape over time, preventing sagging or softening along the edges.

This matters for both safety and durability. A well-supported edge helps ensure the mattress fits snugly within the crib frame without shifting or creating gaps. As your child grows and begins standing or moving more actively in the crib, the consistent edge support helps the mattress stay stable and secure.

The Saatva Crib Mattress is 28 by 52 inches and is built with carefully selected layers, each serving a specific purpose:

• Organic cotton breathable cover
• Natural latex comfort layer
• Individually wrapped recycled steel coils
• Dual-sided firmness system for infants and toddlers
• Non-toxic flame barrier with no fiberglass

Each layer works together to promote airflow, durability, and safe support. The construction feels intentional and robust, without unnecessary materials or gimmicks.

The organic cotton cover feels soft, breathable, and well-finished. It’s gentle on sensitive skin and designed to promote airflow rather than trap heat.

One of the most practical features is that the cover is removable and washable, which makes it easier to maintain hygiene over time. Spills and accidents are inevitable, and properly cleaning the cover helps keep your baby’s sleep environment fresh and sanitary.

Delivery is straightforward. It takes 2 to 7 days after your order is placed, and Saatva also offers White Glove delivery. This is where the Saatva delivery person will bring the mattress into your home and set it up for you.

The mattress arrives securely packaged and ready for use, with clear instructions for setup and for flipping between the infant and toddler sides when appropriate.

There is no waiting period for expansion, and the mattress fits securely into the crib immediately. The 45-night home trial allows you to evaluate the mattress at home, while the lifetime warranty provides long-term reassurance.
