365 Days, White-Glove Pickup, $99 Fee

Direct answer summary

Saatva offers a 365-night home sleep trial with zero mandatory break-in lockout period. If you decide to return the mattress within 365 days of delivery, you contact Saatva customer service to initiate a return. Saatva dispatches a two-person white-glove logistics team to remove the mattress directly from your bedroom (you never have to box or compress it). The original purchase price is refunded to your payment method minus a fixed $99 transportation processing fee.

Key points

  • Saatva provides 365 nights to test the mattress with no mandatory break-in period.

  • White-glove courier team removes the mattress directly from your bedroom for you.

  • A fixed $99 transportation fee is deducted from your refund; the bed is donated or recycled.
