Visiting the local brand showroom and testing their lineup side by side, this heavy-duty model was easily my favorite of the bunch. It has a supportive, responsive feel that keeps you from sinking in too deep.

In the showroom, this mattress felt noticeably firm yet still very comfortable on top. Having white-glove flat delivery instead of a rolled-up bed in a box, backed by a generous return policy, is a big plus.
A rough first few nights replacing a sagging mattress, then now in love with it
Even at five-foot-seven and 147 pounds, this heavy-duty model beat every other mattress I tested in the showroom. Because I hate sinking in too deep, the sturdy build stabilizes my back and narrow hips really well for back and side sleeping.

What does the signal score of 81 mean?
It's how well reviewed Saatva HD is, out of 100, next to the other mattresses here. Two things go in: how its reviews compare with the best-reviewed product (positive reviews, mixed counting half, and how many reviews there are), and its own negative and mixed reviews, which take points off, so only a product few people are unhappy with scores in the high 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
