The Graphite design features a top layer of graphite-infused memory foam and a support layer of high-density polyfoam. It measures 3 inches thick and has a ‘medium-soft’ feel.
The Latexdesign is constructed from ventilated Talalay latex. It measures 1.5 inches thick and has a ‘medium’ feel.
The High-Density Foam design is produced from polyfoam. It measures 1.5 inches thick and has a ‘medium’ feel.
All three toppers include removable organic cotton covers with corner bands for added stability.
Each Saatva topper offers a unique sleeping experience. The Graphite design is cooler than many of its all-foam competitors and provides close, consistent conforming for sleepers. It also isolates motion well.
The Latex design also sleeps fairly cool and has good responsiveness for sex. Its expected lifespan also exceeds that of the average topper. Lastly, the High-Density Foam design contours to the sleeper’s body for pain/pressure relief and improved spinal alignment. It provides great motion isolation, as well. All three Saatva toppers are silent when bearing weight.
Saatva toppers range in terms of cost, but generally have above-average price-points. Saatva provides free shipping for all orders in the U.S. and Canada. The toppers are backed by a 120-night sleep trial and a one-year warranty.
Read on to learn more about Saatva toppers in terms of construction, pricing, and performance. This guide also includes an overview of Saatva’s shipping, return, and warranty policies, along with some similar topper recommendations.

General Overview
Pros
Multiple firmness, thickness, and composition options
The average topper needs to be replaced after two to three years of consistent use, though occasional-use toppers may last longer. Material composition is usually the most telling factor about topper durability.
Saatva's Graphite topper has an expected lifespan of about three years, assuming regular use. This is on par with the average memory foam topper.

Temperature Neutrality
x
Some topper materials absorb more body heat than others, causing them to sleep excessively warm, while others maintain a consistently comfortable temperature.
The graphite infusion allows the topper to sleep relatively cool, but it still may trap heat and feel warm for some.

Motion Isolation
x
Some toppers absorb and minimize motion transfer whenever someone gets up or shifts position, which prevents sleepers from feeling the movement in other areas of the bed.
As is the case with many memory foam toppers, Saatva's Graphite model isolates motion transfer very well.

As you can see, all three toppers earned the most positive ratings from side and back sleepers who weigh 230 pounds or less. For some heavier sleepers, the toppers may be too soft and prone to sagging. This is particularly true for stomach sleepers.
Compare Toppers
How Do Saatva Toppers Compare to Other Toppers?
As any consumer does with a product they’re considering, our topper assessments naturally involve comparing them with other similar products. Be it composition, firmness, or price, we think it’s important to see how Saatva mattress toppers stack up to other toppers.
The Graphite topper from Saatva has a ‘medium-soft’ feel and measures 3 inches thick. As a result, it is best suited to side and back sleepers who weigh 230 pounds or less. The Latex and High-Density Foam models have a more balanced, ‘medium’ feel. They are ideal for people in any sleep position who weigh 130 to 230 pounds, as well as some lighter individuals.
Larger people – particularly stomach sleepers – may find the Latex design offers the best combination of firmness/support and body conforming.

Set-Up and Care Instructions
The set-up process for Saatva mattress toppers is as follows:
Saatva mattress toppers ship compressed in a box. Owners should unpackage the topper and allow it to expand to its full shape before using it for the first time.
If the topper emits noticeable off-gassing odor, owners may want to air it out in a well-ventilated room.
The cleaning and care process for Saatva toppers is as follows:
Owners should never wash foam or latex topper components in a machine. Spot clean with cold water if stains occur.
The topper’s cover is removable, and can be washed and dried in a machine. Wash in cool water and dry on a low or no-heat cycle. Air drying is also acceptable. Make sure the cover is completely dry before placing it back on the pillow.
The cover is designed to be slightly on the larger side to prevent excessive shrinkage after the first wash.
