Saatva Solaire Mattress Review: A Masterpiece of Sleep Engineering

The Saatva Solaire comes from the impressive Saatva stable so you can buy with complete confidence.

This company has been selling mattresses and bedding direct to consumers since 2011. Not only that, the firm opened up its inaugural Manhattan showroom in 2019.

For the purposes of today’s review, we’ll be focusing purely on the Saatva Solaire, a completely adjustable air bed mattress.

We’ll highlight the build, feel, and firmness of this mattress so you can determine whether to invest in the Saatva Solaire or to give it a miss.

Who Should Buy The Saatva Solaire

• All side sleepers and back sleepers should enjoy the ability to adjust the firmness of this mattress depending on the weight of the sleepers. Thanks to the comfort layers, side and back sleepers will also benefit from robust spinal support
• Anyone who sleeps hot will appreciate the way the comfort layers of this mattress help you to stay cool
• With dual settings on both the king and queen mattresses, the Saatva Solaire is ideal for couples with different firmness preferences
• Do you wake easily if your sleeping partner moves in the night? If so, the outstanding motion isolation on this mattress should prevent excessive noise from disturbing you

Who Should Avoid The Saatva Solaire

• If you’re shopping for mattresses on a budget, the Saatva Solaire is not for you
• Anyone who shifts their mattress around regularly might find the weight and bulk of the Solaire a little too much to handle

Now you can see who the Solaire suits and who should give it a swerve, let’s explore how this airbed mattress is made.

Construction

• Cover
• Comfort Layers
• Support Layers

Cover

The cover of the Saatva Solaire comes in the form of a deeply quilted pillow top.

Thickly padded with organic cotton, this mattress is remarkably comfy as well as breathable. The organic trim – it’s an attractive gold damask – finishes this air bed mattress wonderfully.

Comfort Layers

A zoned layer of Talalay latex in the comfort layers of the Saatva Solaire ensures that the sleeping surface is both cool and responsive. The 5 distinct zones intelligently deliver optimum pressure relief along your spinal column.

Beneath this layer comes some Certi-PUR memory foam that’s infused with gel and contains no toxic chemicals at all. With this type of memory foam layered in, both pressure relief and proper spinal alignment are encouraged.

The crowning glory in the comfort layers comes in the form of a proprietary moisture barrier. This is designed to inhibit bacterial growth so your mattress stays spotless, and comfy, and will last for longer.

Support Layers

On the Saatva Solaire, the support layer’s core contains 50 vulcanized air chambers. This leads to ample air support in all directions and you’ll notice no sagging or low spots.

All around these air chambers is a power edge enclosure. This innovation helps keep the mattress firmer at the edges. It also contains the air inflator system so the pumps and hoses you use to fine-tune those firmness settings are hidden out of sight.

Firmness and Feel

The key selling point of the Saatva Solaire is the way you can easily tweak the firmness settings.

Firmness can be fine-tuned all the way from a very soft 3 to a firm 7 on the average firmness scale. The remote control allows you to manipulate in increments of milliliters of mercury just the way blood pressure is measured.

Thanks to the pillow top in place, this mattress feels plush whatever firmness setting you choose.

With such a degree of adjustability, you should be able to find a firm setting that suits you regardless of your size and sleeping position.

Mattress Height

All models in the Saatva Solaire line stand 13.5 inches tall making this a high profile mattress. If you struggle to get in and out of bed, this should make things easier for you.

Also, the higher profile is essential considering what’s packed into the innards of this mattress.

Verdict

Now, if you’re looking for a great air bed mattress, you might have struggled to find anything that suits both you and your sleeping partner. Well, the Saatva Solaire puts an end to your search and gives you a comfortable and supportive mattress that’s also completely adjustable in terms of firmness. This mattress is very similar to the Serta Mattress.

Build quality is as you would expect from the inimitable Saatva. If you live in New York, why not pass by the new Saatva showroom so you can try this mattress before you buy. There’s then nothing stopping you from picking up your Solaire online if you prefer to shop that way.
