The Loom & Leaf mattress is the sister-brand to one of the veterans of the online mattress world, Saatva. Loom Leaf launched in 2015, aiming to offer a luxury-level high density memory foam mattress that’d you’d normally pay $3-5K for in-store, for a fraction of that price.
Over the last couple of years I’ve had lots of time to test, analyze, and gather feedback from my readers on the Loom & Leaf. Is it really is good as they say? Continue reading below for my full review of the Loom and Leaf mattress. Don’t have time to read it all? Click here to skip to the bottom and check out my review summary. Rather watch than read? Check out our complete Loom and Leaf mattress review video. The Loom & Leaf mattress is constructed from 4 different layers. At 12″ tall the Loom & Leaf is a bit thicker than the standard 10″ mattress. This added thickness adds to great deep compression support, durability, and feel. The cover is a quilted organic cotton. It’s quite soft, breathable, and has a nice textured feel, especially along the embroidered portions. In addition to the organic cotton, the cover also is crafted using natural thistle. This is an all natural flame retardant, which is a nice and unexpected feature. The cover is quilted together with a 5/8″ layer of foam.
This mini foam layer adds extra softness and a great feel to the cover. In 2016, Loom & Leaf made a change to their cover, affecting both the aesthetics and functionality of the cover as a whole. Loom & Leaf’s new cover features a quilting pattern that is tighter, more compact, and more dense towards the middle, and a little more spread out towards the head and foot of the mattress. This quilting design creates better support for your mid-section. A vast majority of sleepers need most of their support around their lower back and torso areas. This enhanced cover creates better support and helps sleepers create better spinal alignment by having more support where you need it and a little less where you don’t. From an overall aesthetic and style perspective I think the cover looks fabulous. The tan side panels and gold trim along the perimeter look and feel luxurious. The handles along the side are also a nice touch and make moving the mattress much easier. Loom & Leaf actually has 2 different degrees of firmness you can order.
This review is based on their flagship model, the Loom & Leaf Relaxed firm. This is their “just right” firmness. FAQ: What mattress firmness do I need? The firmness level on the Loom & Leaf Relaxed Firm is a 5.5 out of 10 (where 10 is the most firm). If you are looking for something a bit firmer you can also try the Loom & Leaf Firm, which is an 8-8.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale. Having multiple firmness levels is a really nice option, and something you don’t see as often when it comes to online mattress companies. First up, let’s discuss comfort. Most foam mattresses are generally made up of 3-4″ of specialty foam (memory foam, latex, Avena, etc.) and placed on top of a support foam base (which is a basic foam designed to provide support and a foundation). The Loom & Leaf’s 6.5″ of specialty foams and gels is practically unheard of. More specialty / comfort foams generally results in better overall comfort and better support as well (as there is more material that can work together to transition various weights and body types into the more supportive layers below).
When I first laid down on the mattress there was an immediate softness. This is the result of the quilted cover that includes a 5/8″ foam layer. Immediately after, the support layers begin to sense your pressure and react accordingly. I would describe the feel as very balanced. It doesn’t excessively hug your body like more traditional memory foam, but there is a nice degree of body contouring. GUIDE: How to choose a mattress It was comfortable in all sleeping positions. In addition, the newly designed cover does a great job of creating nice support throughout the mid-section. Overall support was quite good. I slept on my stomach, back, and side during my test of the Loom & Leaf. As a life-long stomach sleeper, that’s always my preference, but I felt well supported in all 3 positions. Great pressure relief across the board. There is virtually no motion transfer. The thick comfort foam layers + memory foam layers on top do a great job of dispersing energy and motion so partners will not disturb each other during the night.
