you’re able to upgrade to white glove delivery for $199.

These are perfectly decent benefits but obviously Saatva’s are superior.

The Saatva Classic is a hybrid innerspring mattress, made from a combination of foams and coils.

These contour to the body and are firmer in the center for more lumbar support.

The Big Fig mattress starts with a soft quilted top made with ThermoGel heat-wicking technology to regulate temperature.

Next up are two dense layers of responsive polyurethane foam for a firmer support.

The mattress is supported by a layer of individually wrapped coil springs, made from 15-gauge spring steel.

The coils rest on a layer of polyfoam for durability and stability.

And the entire mattress is hand-tufted in 16 places to prevent the foams from slipping over time.

Its designed to accommodate heavier bodies, with a combined weight limit of 1,100lbs.

Theres also a Firm option thats ideal for stomach sleepers.

So, if youre a couple of differing weights this isnt the best option.

But as the Saatva only supports a combined weight of 600lbs, its the obvious choice for heavier couples.

The Big Fig features a cover made from a ThermoGel knit blend.

This is a fabric blended with a gel material to keep the mattress cool and help to dissipate heat.

Saatva Classic vs Big Fig Mattress: Which should you buy?

But if you weigh under 250lbs, youre likely to find it too firm.

On the flip side, you will need to pay $199 if you want white glove delivery.
