Most online mattresses come stuffed in a box and won’t hold up for more than a handful of years. Saatva is different—we hand-deliver high-quality mattresses that are built to last. We’re able to do this because of our unique manufacturing network, honed over the 15 years we’ve been in business.
Since launching in 2010, Saatva has manufactured every mattress in one of our regional factories across the United States. All of our mattresses have always been crafted and assembled right here in America.
When you purchase a Saatva, you get a “factory fresh” mattress that’s been manufactured for you in America. You’ll never get a mattress that’s been collecting dust in a warehouse or one that’s been folded and rolled up into a small shipping box.
Ahead, we’ll explore the benefits of choosing a mattress manufactured here in the US and how to tell if a mattress is actually manufactured in America. Plus, we’ll give you a glimpse into our manufacturing process.
Why you should choose a mattress manufactured in the USA
There’s nothing inherently superior about American manufacturing, just as there’s nothing inherently inferior about Chinese manufacturing. After all, some of the most popular products in the world are made in China, including the iPhone.
However, manufacturing products in the United States gives American companies a better chance of managing their production. Producing products in America has a lot of benefits for mattress manufacturers.
Some of the biggest reasons we manufacture our mattresses in America are:
- Quality control standards
- Positive environmental impact
- Ease of delivery
- High safety standards
- Contribution to our local economy
High quality-control standards
Because we’re an American company, it’s easier for us to monitor the quality of our products if they’re crafted in American factories. If there’s something wrong at any point in the production cycle, we can go straight to the source and figure it out.
We don’t have to account for time zones or excessive travel distances. With factories across the US, we can work closely with our partners to continuously refine our manufacturing process.
Environmental impact
Manufacturing our mattresses in America allows us to keep costs low, but it also helps us fulfill our commitment to a cleaner world by reducing our carbon footprint.
Cutting the distance between factory and home also cuts emissions. Plus, it gives us time to allow our mattresses to stabilize after production so they don’t off-gas in a customer’s home.
Finally, local manufacturing means it’s easy to achieve and verify our eco-friendly and organic certifications.
Easy delivery
Because our mattresses are shipped whole, without being compressed into boxes, they require a lot of space, and a competent delivery team to handle them. It would be expensive and risky to ship our products internationally, across great distances.
Instead, we have many fulfillment centers across America, meaning our American-made mattresses travel on average less than 100 miles from the factory to a customer’s bedroom. This means we can provide accurate delivery estimates, with full control over the shipping process.
Supporting the local economy
At Saatva, we’re big fans of the “buy local” philosophy. That’s why we work with dozens of local partners around the country to help bring our mattresses home to customers. We believe strongly in the quality of American craftsmanship, and the integrity of our factory workers and delivery teams.
We work to ensure all our partners adhere to the strictest safety standards when producing our mattresses, and we believe the results speak for themselves.
High safety standards
Having our mattresses manufactured in the US means we’re subject to strict safety regulations. We’re forbidden from using harmful or toxic chemicals in the production process, and our mattresses include natural flame-retardant ingredients.
We don’t use mercury, lead, heavy metals, formaldehyde, phthalates, or ozone depleters. We believe all companies should be held to these standards.
How to tell if a mattress is manufactured in America
Once you’ve decided to get a locally manufactured mattress, how do you find out whether or not the mattress is really crafted and assembled in America?
If your mattress is made of foam, the first step is to ensure that the foam is CertiPUR-US®1 certified. This means the foam is produced with eco-friendly methods and emits low carbon emissions. However, keep in mind that CertiPUR-US® also certifies mattresses made in Italy, China, Canada, and Mexico.
The only way to know for sure if a mattress is manufactured in the US is by researching the individual company. Most companies will be transparent about their production methods if their mattresses are manufactured in America. If you don’t see it stated unambiguously on their website, it’s likely that the mattress isn’t made in the US.
How is a Saatva mattress manufactured in America?
Our manufacturing process combines the best of old-fashioned hand craftsmanship with modern materials and technologies. As a mattress progresses to each stage along the factory floor, every step is scanned, so we know exactly where a mattress is at any point in the production process.
Here’s what that process looks like for our bestselling
America’s best-selling online luxury innerspring
innerspring mattress:
It starts with our 3-inch Euro pillow top. First, we quilt a combination of fibers and comfort foams to a certified organic cotton cover. (The combination is slightly different depending on the comfort level: Plush Soft, Luxury Firm, or Firm.)
Then, the cover and quilted side panels are brought to the sewing department, where a strip of fabric called a flange is sewn onto the edge of the panels.
The flange is then attached to the foam that encases the two coil units inside the mattress. The bottom coil layer, or the support base, is made up of 13-gauge coils for maximum durability.
On top of this is a layer of more flexible, individually wrapped comfort coils that respond and contour to your body’s movements. They also help reduce motion transfer. The dual-coil system gives the mattress its responsive feel and promotes airflow for breathability.
The
America’s best-selling online luxury innerspring
has two more unique features: our patented spinal zone active wire and a layer of CertiPUR-US®-certified high-density memory foam. These two features work together to provide enhanced back support and maximum pressure relief in the middle of the mattress, where you need it most.
After all of the panels are secured, an operator attaches an organic cotton border, and the whole thing is closed by a tape edge machine that adds our signature gold damask binding. The entire process is done by hand.
No matter where in the network a Saatva mattress is produced, it’s made using the same procedures and specifications, so the result is consistent every time.
We use only premium materials: triple-tempered carbon steel coils; high-density, eco-friendly memory foam; organic cotton; and natural latex. That’s why our products could never be compressed and rolled up into a box.
