Conclusion

Tuft and Needle brought a healthy competition to the mattress industry and forced her contemporaries to streamline their products if they want to stay in the game.

With three mattresses: The mint, the Hybrid and the Original Tuft and Needle, it’s really a competitive game because they offer sleepers the choice of choosing between a mattress with springs and one without springs, just foam.

Saatva on the other hand comes with a similar approach: options in mattresses and then tops it with different level of firmness which is seen lacking in the Tuft and Needle.

Overall, Saatva is a better brand with lots of innovation at its staples plus a longer warranty to corroborate its durability claims.

Saatva is the winner as it handcrafted with premium materials, including antimicrobial organic cotton, CertiPUR-US certified foams, and eco-friendly components. It is engineered for pain-free sleep, with dedicated lumbar zone support to promote healthy spinal alignment. Saatva includes the top five features found in luxury retail mattresses and combined them to make one perfect mattress (Luxury euro pillow top, Perimeter edge support, individually wrapped coils, spinal zone technology and Durable steel coil support) .  Saatva is a top luxury retail mattress with a price tag of a bed in a box.
