The Saatva Solaire mattress offers customizable comfort. It performed well in most categories we tested, including pressure relief, cooling, motion isolation, and edge support.
At $4,789 for a queen before discounts, the Solaire is one of Saatva’s most expensive mattresses. But its price is comparable to other customizable mattresses.
The Solaire uses an electric air pump and remote to let you adjust the firmness of each side of the mattress individually. This may appeal to couples with different preferences.
Saatva uses high-quality materials to make its mattresses, including organic cotton and natural latex.
Saatva backs its mattresses with one of the industry’s longest trial periods (365 nights) and a lifetime warranty. It will deliver and set up the mattress for you at no extra charge.

If you’re looking for a quality mattress, it won’t take long before you hear the name Saatva. Saatva has been making mattresses since 2010 and has built its brand on high-quality materials and excellent customer service. It was one of the first companies to offer a 365-night trial and lifetime warranty.

Saatva sells several kinds of mattresses, including latex hybrid and innerspring beds. But the Solaire is the only Saatva adjustable-firmness mattress. Using an electric air pump system, the Solaire can cycle through 50 firmness settings. This allows you to customize how firm your mattress feels. Couples can adjust each side separately. If you’re comparing the best adjustable beds, you can also pair the Solaire with a Saatva adjustable base for even more personalization.

For this Saatva Solaire Mattress Review, we had older adults test the mattress to see how it performs in real life. We looked at:

Comfort
Support
Firmness options
Sleep quality
Construction
How simple it is to adjust the settings

Here are the results of our testing and what you should know before buying.

Why choose Saatva?

We recommend Saatva in many of our mattress guides because the brand offers a good mix of quality, comfort, and helpful customer service. The Saatva Solaire mattress gives you the ability to customize your comfort more than a standard mattress does. We also like that Saatva uses eco-friendly materials and offers free white-glove delivery, so your mattress is delivered and set up in your room. You can also add a Saatva adjustable base if you want more ways to customize your sleep setup.

Our testing found that Saatva mattresses feel well-made and offer a comfortable, supportive sleep surface. Saatva is not the most affordable mattress brand, but its prices are competitive for the quality and service you get. The brand also has a strong reputation with shoppers. Its products are backed by a 365-night trial and lifetime warranty. These features make Saatva a good choice if you want a mattress that you can try at home and expect to use for many years.

How we tested the Saatva Solaire mattress

Here are some of the key qualities we tested when assessing the Saatva Solaire mattress:

Saatva Solaire: A mattress with customizable firmness

The Saatva Solaire stands out for its 50 firmness settings, which you can adjust with a button press. The mattress can switch between a responsive latex feel and a more cushioned memory foam feel. We also like the Solaire's strong edge support and low motion transfer. No more sagging sides when you get in or out of bed or bouncing around when you change positions.

Our experience with the Saatva Solaire

The Saatva Solaire mattress is different from a traditional mattress. That’s because it uses air chambers instead of a standard spring or foam core. You can use a remote to add or remove air from the mattress chambers and choose from 50 firmness settings. This lets you adjust the feel to your comfort preferences. While this bed does need to be near an electrical outlet, the air pump system is quiet, according to our testers. Each side of the Solaire (for queen size and larger) can be adjusted on its own. This may be helpful for couples who prefer different mattress firmness levels.

Layers of latex and memory foam, and a plush quilted European topper, sit above the air chamber core. “The fluffy quilted top is really nice and helps me stay on top of the mattress,” said one tester. “It feels cool to the touch, soft, and cushiony.” You can choose to put the latex on top for a more responsive feel, or foam on top for more contouring. In our tests, a weight dropped on this mattress bounced 19 inches, earning it a 4/5 score for bounce. “There was no difficulty getting in and out of bed. It had a good bounce and popped back quickly,” one tester said.

The quilted topper of the Saatva Solaire is lifted to reveal the adjustable comfort layers inside — Testers could choose either to have the latex layer on top for responsive support or foam for more cushioning.

In our Saatva Solaire mattress review, the mattress earned its highest scores for back and stomach sleeping. “It feels equally supported,” said one tester. “I don’t feel any curvature or pinching in my lower back. My spine feels good.” Side sleeping was a little less comfortable for this tester. She noticed more pressure around the hips but still gave the mattress a solid 3.5/5 for side pressure relief. The Solaire was also supportive edge to edge, not just in the center, earning a 4.5/5 overall support score and 5/5 for lying edge support. “I feel very stable lying near the edge,” said one tester. “I don’t think that I am going to roll off.”

The Solaire also did well at motion isolation (4/5). Testers said they could barely feel a partner move around on the other side of the mattress. “It wasn’t very pronounced,” said one. “It was a really mild movement. I think I could’ve slept through that.” The Solaire also helped prevent heat buildup. We recorded around a 7-degree rise in temperature after use. Testers also said the quilted top had good airflow and felt cool to the touch. They rated it a 4/5 for cooling.

This mattress gives sleepers more ways to find their preferred comfort level than most other options. That may make it worth the higher-than-average price. Saatva also offers free in-room setup on all its mattresses. Plus, it has one of the longest trial periods and warranties.

Who is the Saatva Solaire right for?

Couples with different firmness preferences: Each person can choose their own firmness on queen and larger models.
People who change sleeping positions: The Solaire's responsive surface may make it easier to move around in bed.
People whose comfort needs change: Being able to adjust the mattress may be helpful when you have mobility issues or chronic pain.

Who should keep looking for their perfect mattress?

Shoppers on a budget: At $4,789 for a queen before discounts, the Solaire may be outside some shoppers' budgets.
Sleepers who dislike bounce: The Solaire has a responsive feel, which some people may find less calming than a slow-moving foam mattress.
People who don’t want to plug in a mattress: The Saatva Solaire requires electricity and a remote to adjust settings. If you’d rather skip that, the Saatva Classic may be a better choice.

Saatva Solaire costs

Queen-size Saatva mattresses cost $2,229–$4,789 before any discounts or promotions. The Solaire is at the high end of this range, but its price is comparable to other adjustable mattresses like the best Sleep Number alternatives.

The Saatva customer experience

Saatva puts a lot of focus on customer service. We gave the brand a 10/10 score in that area. The company offers free white-glove delivery with its mattresses. That means the delivery team brings the mattress into your room, sets it up, and removes your old mattress if you choose that service. You don’t have to worry about carrying a heavy mattress upstairs or setting it up yourself.

Saatva also gives shoppers 365 nights to try their mattress at home. The Solaire comes with a lifetime warranty, too. This covers certain defects for as long as you own the mattress. These policies, along with the brand’s customer service, can help you feel more confident buying a Saatva Solaire mattress over a mattress with a short trial period or limited warranty.

Who should consider a Saatva Solaire mattress?

The Saatva Solaire may be a good fit if you want to customize how firm or soft your mattress feels. It may also help if your preferences change frequently due to chronic pain or other concerns. It can also be a good choice if you share a bed with someone who has different preferences. The mattress has 50 adjustable firmness settings, and couples can choose different settings on each side. It also uses quality materials and is supported by a strong warranty and reliable customer service. But it costs more than many other mattresses. If your budget allows, the Solaire mattress may be worth considering if comfort and customization are your top priorities.

Ask yourself:

Do I want to change the firmness of my mattress?
Do my partner and I prefer different firmness levels?
Is a higher mattress price within my budget?
Do I care about quality materials and a long-lasting mattress?
Would free delivery and setup make buying a mattress easier?
Do I want the option to pair my mattress with a Saatva adjustable base?
Would having more control over my comfort make it easier to sleep?

Frequently asked questions

How long do Saatva Solaire mattresses last?

A Saatva Solaire mattress is designed to last about 10 years with proper care. Its lifespan can vary based on factors such as use, body weight, and how well the mattress is maintained.

What are the key differences between Saatva Solaire and Classic mattresses?

The Solaire is an adjustable firmness mattress with 50 firmness settings. The Saatva Classic comes in a choice of three fixed firmness levels. The Classic also uses a coil-on-coil design, while the Solaire uses air chambers to adjust firmness.

Does an adjustable firmness mattress help with back pain?

An adjustable firmness mattress may help some people find a more comfortable level of support. This can reduce pressure on the back. But it is not a treatment for back pain. The best firmness depends on your body, sleeping position, and personal preference. If you have ongoing back pain, talk to your health care provider.
