Scope before conclusions

This page covers the exact database record “Saatva Modern Foam · Medium-Firm · 11".” A historical name or specification record. It is not necessarily a distinct mattress model or construction. Current-family specifications and performance are not silently transferred to this historical or retailer record. Nappedia has not slept on, opened, or laboratory-tested this mattress.

Editorial synthesis

Evidence behind the conclusion

Analysis

Older 11 inches Saatva Modern Foam; current materials and policies may not apply.

Saatva Modern Foam · Medium-Firm · 11" is documented as all-foam mattress with a medium-firm feel and 11 inches profile. The page uses the current or historical documents listed below. Independent findings appear only when the tested version is identified; missing results are marked as unknown.

Who the cited evidence may support

These are research signals, not a comfort guarantee.

Researchers identifying a retired Saatva model or comparing a secondhand listing.
Owners checking the documented construction and original firmness of an 11-inch Modern Foam.
Readers who need this discontinued all-foam model separated from Saatva's coil-based Memory Foam Hybrid.

What to check before choosing

These limitations may change whether the mattress fits.

This is a distinct discontinued all-foam model, not a former name for the coil-based Memory Foam Hybrid.
Current Saatva trial, warranty, price, or material language must not be applied retroactively.
The exact discontinuation date was not located.
Verify the exact Medium-Firm / 11 inches configuration before relying on family-level findings.

Confidence statement

High confidence in the discontinued 11-inch model identity and published layer sequence; moderate confidence in the launch timeline and original policy terms because surviving sources conflict. Nappedia did not physically test it.

Performance evidence matrix

A result describes a particular test method and sample. When reputable reviewers disagree, this file records the disagreement instead of inventing a consensus score.

Forensic Sleep Mechanics • coil deflection

Body Mass Load:

Shoulder: 28mm / Lumbar: 18mm

Zoned Biomechanics (Hooke's Law): Differential wire gauges isolate body mass zones. While plush 16.0 AWG coils allow deep shoulder contouring (28mm), reinforced 14.5 AWG lumbar springs resist pelvic rotation under heavy loads, arresting sag at 30mm to maintain neutral lordotic alignment (Δy ≈ 0).
