The Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid and the Saatva Classic Mattress both feature organic cotton covers, providing a soft and breathable surface. The Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid utilizes a ½” quilted organic cotton cover and fill for added plushness and comfort, while the Saatva Classic has a European pillow top for a luxurious feel.
The Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid incorporates a ¼” layer of Organic New Zealand Calmera® Wool as a natural flame-retardant, which also adds temperature-regulating properties. The Saatva Classic does not have an equivalent layer, relying on its breathable cover to manage temperature.
In terms of pressure relief and contouring, the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid features a 1” GOLS certified organic Dunlop latex layer. The Saatva Classic, on the other hand, employs a memory foam layer in its pillow top for similar purposes. The Dunlop latex in the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid is more breathable and eco-friendly compared to the memory foam used in the Saatva Classic.
The support systems in the two mattresses differ as well. The Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid combines 4” Honey Micro Coils® with 8” individually wrapped coils made of American recycled steel for targeted support and motion isolation. In contrast, the Saatva Classic uses a coil-on-coil construction with a layer of individually wrapped pocketed coils above a layer of connected steel coils, offering a unique balance of comfort and support.
Lastly, the Sweet Zzz Honey Hybrid uses a ¼” organic cotton/wool blend as a stable base, whereas the Saatva Classic’s base layer is made of high-density support foam.
