Night one sleeping on this mattress left my lower back hurting worse than ever, right after we had already swapped out of the Classic Firm for the same reason. Rather than waiting months to see if it breaks in, I'm ready to return it and stick with the spare-room bed that doesn't hurt.

While this mattress felt good at the start, it eventually gave me terrible hip and lower back pain that has us shopping for a replacement all over again. On top of the pain, pressing down on the surface makes an annoying crinkling sound.
Ordering this model to help with menopause hip pain on my right side backfired badly over three months, making my hip pain much worse unless I put a camping foam pad on top. I'm calling their customer service to go back to the Classic Plush that I've loved four times before.
A side sleeper with chronic back pain found the Rx's break-in painful, and after a free topper helped briefly it now sinks in and is hard to turn
Saatva Rx for four months gave debilitating hip and low back pain (127 lb); they are returning it.

It's how well reviewed Saatva Rx 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.
