Lab Verdict
Cooling was a wash — both mattresses landed within half a degree of each other after 60 minutes of body heat. Avocado Green Mattress isolated motion better for couples (0.12g vs. 0.18g on the Saatva Classic). Side sleepers will feel less shoulder pressure on the Saatva Classic (peak 28 mmHg vs. 32 mmHg). Perimeter compression was nearly identical — neither bed is the obvious pick on edge support alone. Avocado Green Mattress returned more energy on rebound (58% vs. 42%), favoring combo sleepers.
