Loom & Leaf Mattress Review: Takes From Our Test Lab
Ranked #3 on our Best Gel Mattress list
The Loom & Leaf mattress is an all-foam bed made with premium materials like gel-infused memory foam and organic cotton. Its cooling technology helps with temperature regulation, while its gel memory foam contours to relieve pressure.
- Three layers of pressure-relieving memory foam
- Two different firmness options
- Free White Glove delivery and 365-night sleep trial
- $99 return fee
- Above-average price for an all-foam mattress
The Loom & Leaf is an all-foam mattress made by Saatva, which manufactures a range of high-end mattresses. In the Loom & Leaf, the company has invested in a robust design featuring three layers of high-quality memory foam.
The Loom & Leaf is available in two firmness options that rate as medium firm (6) and firm (8). Unlike many plush memory foam mattresses, the Loom & Leaf contours to the body without pronounced sinkage. Another unique aspect of the Loom & Leaf is that it comes with free delivery and installation.
Our testing team analyzed this mattress and rated its performance in multiple categories. We’ll go over those ratings and explain the ins and outs of the Loom & Leaf, including its pricing, design, and who it’s best for.

SMART MATCHING
Is the Loom & Leaf Right for You?
Use the filters below to see how well the Loom & Leaf lines up with your unique needs. We'll also give you a couple other recommendations based on your answers.
TEST LAB RATINGS
How the Loom & Leaf Scored
Motion Isolation9.5/10
The Loom & Leaf scores solidly above average for motion isolation. One of the key characteristics of memory foam is its pinpoint response, which means that it only compresses in areas where weight is directly applied.
As a result, vibration doesn’t travel across the surface of the Loom & Leaf Mattress. The medium firm (6) model rates as slightly better for motion isolation, but both firmness options should work well for couples.
Colin Simpson, Product Research Manager: Like most memory foam beds, the Loom & Leaf keeps motion isolated to one side of the bed. It’s a solid pick for couples.
Pressure Relief9.0/10
Pressure relief provided by the Loom & Leaf repeatedly impressed our testing team. With multiple layers of memory foam, the mattress can softly cradle your joints and provide support where you need it most.
People who have sharper pressure points, including most side sleepers, tend to prefer the medium firm (6) model. Sleepers who want a bit more firmness and a flatter sleeping surface get the best results from the firm (8) option.
Logan Foley, Executive Product Director: All of the memory foam in the mattress really makes a difference, including the lumbar pad. Both models can provide great pressure relief as long as you pick the right one for your needs.
Temperature Control7.0/10
Our team felt pleasantly surprised by how well the Loom & Leaf avoids overheating. Most memory foam materials collect heat, but our team didn’t find themselves waking up in a sweat on this mattress.
A big reason for the cooler sleep on the Loom & Leaf is that the foam doesn’t excessively conform to the body. The top layers are also infused with gel to counteract the heat retention that occurs in traditional memory foam mattresses.
Colin Simpson, Product Research Manager: I expected this mattress to feel really hot, but I was pleasantly surprised by its temperature control. It’s not the coolest mattress out there, but because you don’t sink in too far, your skin doesn’t overheat and get clammy.
Edge Support7.0/10
Edge support on the Loom & Leaf is just above average, which means you’ll feel increased foam compression around the perimeter without the sensation that you’re going to roll off the bed.
This level of edge support is better than what you’ll find in a lot of other memory foam mattresses. Of the two models, the edge feels stronger on the firm (8) model of the Loom & Leaf.
Mary Fenton, Head of Product Content: Edge support isn’t a standout feature of the Loom & Leaf, but it’s better than a lot of foam beds. I wouldn’t recommend jumping up and down on the edge of the bed, but it’s definitely stable enough for everyday uses.
Ease of Movement6.0/10
One downside of memory foam is that its contouring can impede your ability to move around in bed. We found this to be only a minor issue on the Loom & Leaf.
Because the mattress isn’t exceedingly soft, you don’t sink too deeply into the memory foam. As a result, you don’t feel as restricted when you want to switch your sleeping position. That’s especially true on the firm (8) model.
Logan Foley, Executive Product Director: Movement wasn’t exactly easy on the Loom & Leaf, but it wasn’t too difficult, either. I don’t think this would be a problem unless you have a strong preference for a bouncy mattress.
Durability7.0/10
For an all-foam bed, the Loom & Leaf mattress has a decent durability score, and you can likely get a longer lifespan if you go with the firmer option. The mattress has a 12-inch profile. The comfort layer is 2.5 inches of premium 5-pound memory foam, which is denser and therefore more durabile. Underneath is a support core made from 5.5 inches of high-density polyfoam.

HANDS-ON TESTING
Testing Team Takeaways
To test the Loom & Leaf Mattress, we had three people on our testing team each take the bed home with them for one week. Here are their initial observations.
Colin Simpson
Product Research Manager · Stomach sleeper · 190 lbs
Stomach sleeper · 190 lbs
As a stomach sleeper, I found the Relaxed Firm model to be quite comfortable and supportive. It was refreshing to feel contouring around my hips and chest without the suffocating feeling of ultra-plush foams.
Mary Fenton
Head of Product Content · Hybrid sleeper · 150 lbs
Hybrid sleeper · 150 lbs
While there’s a lot to like about the Loom & Leaf, I didn’t find either model to be as versatile as I’d like. I switch my sleeping position during the night, and there was a pretty noticeable difference in comfort when I was on my side versus my back or stomach.
Logan Foley
Executive Product Director · Side sleeper · 140 lbs
Side sleeper · 140 lbs
It’s pretty uncommon to find a firm feel in a memory foam mattress, which made the Loom & Leaf a really nice change of pace. As a side sleeper, I really liked its mix of cushioning and support that helped prevent hip and shoulder pain.
Who it Fits
Fit by Sleep Position and Body Weight
Sizes, dimensions and weights
Side Sleepers
The Loom & Leaf Mattress tends to earn the highest praise from side sleepers who weigh over 130 pounds. In particular, side sleepers between 130 and 230 pounds give high marks to the medium firm (6) model, and those over 230 pounds prefer the firm (8) model.
In our testing, some side sleepers felt that the mattress was too firm. This response was most common among side sleepers under 130 pounds who reported insufficient cushioning around their hips and shoulders.
Side sleepers need cushioning for these pressure points in order to avoid joint discomfort and maintain spinal alignment. Sleepers with a higher body weight appreciated how the memory foam cradled their hips and shoulders while maintaining its base of support.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers can get excellent support and comfort from the Loom & Leaf Mattress. In our testing, back sleepers under 130 pounds preferred the medium firm (6) version, and those over 130 pounds preferred the firm (8).
Many memory foam mattresses feel too soft for back sleepers, but that wasn’t the case with the Loom & Leaf. Its firmer feel kept back sleepers from sinking too far down into the foam layers. The mattress facilitated a neutral spinal position and provided extra lower back support with a memory foam lumbar pad.
Stomach Sleepers
The firm (8) model of the Loom & Leaf Mattress won over stomach sleepers during our testing. They didn’t feel like they were being swallowed up by the mattress, but they still got the benefit of memory foam’s gentle pressure relief.
The medium firm (6) model didn’t score as well among stomach sleepers. While it was rated highest by those under 130 pounds, it was generally too soft and contouring for the majority of stomach sleepers.

Independent from the warranty, Saatva offers a Fairness Replacement Program that begins after you’ve had the mattress for two years. This allows you to keep your old mattress while receiving a discount on a new mattress. Depending on how long you’ve had the mattress, the Fairness Replacement price ranges from 50% to 80% of your original purchase price.
FAQs
How long does a Loom & Leaf mattress last?
