50% of seniors struggle to sleep — but Saatva’s smart mattress could be the solution with up to $525 off this Black Friday

Nearly half of seniors struggle to sleep at night, with many putting their lack of ZZZs down to chronic pain. If this is you, I’ve found the early Black Friday deal that could be the solution to your sleep woes: up to $525 off the Solaire Adjustable Firmness Mattress at Saatva, reducing a queen size to $4,074 (was $4,599).

Aches and pains are unfortunately part and parcel of aging. While technology isn’t always the answer, we recommend the Saatva Solaire as the best smart bed for seniors who want personalized sleep comfort without the complicated technology (note, it’s operated via a simple remote control rather than a smart phone app that you’ll need for many smart bed systems).

The Saatva Solaire comes with 50 different firmness levels meaning you can fine-tune the feel of your bed to alleviate any specific pain points along your body, helping you get more comfortable, restorative rest.

We’ve tracked mattress prices for five years here on the Digitpatrox’s sleep desk, so we know a good Saatva Black Friday mattress deal when we see one. While the Solaire isn’t at its lowest ever price right now (a queen sold for $3,910 back in March), we still think its worth grabbing in early Black Friday mattress sales. Here’s why…

How can the Solaire solve your sleep problems?

Research shows as many as 50% of older Americans, compared with between 15.9 and 22.3% of the general population, complain about sleep problems. And more than a third have resorted to medication to help them doze, according to the National Poll on Healthy Aging.

In parallel, a new study published in the Sleep journal found that older adults who regularly used prescription sleep aids had less deep, restorative sleep, compared with those who don’t take the drugs. Thankfully, with pills out the question, there is a wealth of technology out there (uh-hum, the Saatva Solaire) to help you get more peaceful, pain-free rest.

The adjustable firmness Saatva Solaire is built using air chambers that you can inflate or deflate to find the right balance of pressure relief and spinal support to suit your body type, sleep style and pain points.

With dual settings, you can adjust the feel of your side of the bed independently from your partner’s, providing a truly personalized sleep setup.

You can find the right mattress feel to alleviate any joint or muscle aches and pains, and because it uses a straightforward remote control you don’t need a wealth of tech knowledge to do so.

The Saatva Solaire features a breathable organic cotton cover too, which wicks away moisture to help you sleep cooler.
