Our Verdict
Saatva Latex Hybrid
Novaform Legacy
The Saatva Latex Hybrid is better than the Novaform Legacy for most people. The Saatva is more cooling and has significantly better edge support, so it's more comfortable to sleep near the side of the mattress. It also contains more durable foam. That said, the Novaform has a better motion dissipation performance, so it's worth considering if you're a light sleeper.
