Hi Stork,
Just in case you haven’t read it yet the best place to start your research is the mattress shopping tutorial here which includes all the basic information, steps, and guidelines that you will need to make the best possible choice … and know how and why to avoid the worst ones.
Two of the most important links in the tutorial that I would especially make sure you’ve read are post #2 here which has more about the different ways to choose a suitable mattress (either locally or online) that is the best “match” for you in terms of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) that can help you assess and minimize the risks of making a choice that doesn’t turn out as well as you hoped for and post #13 here which has more about the most important parts of the “value” of a mattress purchase which can help you make more meaningful quality/value comparisons between mattresses in terms of suitability, durability, and value.
You can see an analysis and some feedback about the Saatva mattress in post #1 here and the rest of the topic and a forum search on Saatva (you can just click the link) will bring up more comments and feedback about them as well. In very general terms, for most people it would be a “better than average” quality/value choice compared to most of the mainstream mattresses made by the major manufacturers but it wouldn’t be in the same “quality/value” range as many of the other options that most of the members here would know about as a result of the information on the site and in the tutorial.
Unlike Saatva … The Oregon Mattress Company is a local manufacturer that makes a range of mattresses and outside of PPP (Posture and alignment, Pressure relief, and Personal preferences) a mattress is only as good as its construction and the type and quality of the materials inside it regardless of the name of the manufacturer on the label. If you can provide the specifics of the layers and components in the mattress you are considering and post it on the forum (see this article), I’d be happy to make some comments about the quality and durability of the materials in the mattress and the mattress as a whole and help you identify any potential weak links in its design
