If you’re looking for a premium mattress with all the top qualities, look no further than Saatva‘s Loom & Leaf mattress. Not only does it give you memory foam with an organic cotton top, but it also offers cooling technology for hot sleepers. It’s more expensive than your average bed, but it’s pulling out all the extras. It’s an excellent choice for those searching for a firm memory foam bed, even if it isn’t the softest mattress.

First impressions 

Like the Saatva Classic’s sister, the Loom & Leaf mattress has an inviting plush pillow top and a fancy golden trim that wraps around the top and bottom of the mattress. If I hadn’t already known this was a luxury mattress, I surely would have known after my first look.

I can tell right away that it’s made with memory foam because of the slow-responding, body-hugging nature of the top layers, which gently pull you into the bed. It’s firmer than it looks, and it’s a little too firm when I’m on my side. Still, it’s a comfortable mattress that I can see a lot of people enjoying.

Firmness

You have two firmness options: Relaxed Firm and Firm. As the names imply, these aren’t plushy soft mattresses. Here’s how I’d rate them:

• Relaxed Firm: Medium-firm or a 7 out of 10
• Firm: Firm or a 9 to 10

The Relaxed Firm model offers more pressure relief, while the Firm model is about as supportive as you could hope for. Keep in mind that the heavier you are, the softer a mattress will feel. For example, if you weigh over 230 pounds, the Relaxed Firm model may feel more like a 5 to 6 out of 10 on the firmness scale. 

Comfort

The Loom & Leaf mattress is about 12 inches thick and is stacked with more layers than the average foam mattress. Here’s a breakdown of each of its six layers.

• On the bottom is a thick, dense piece of foam to help stabilize the mattress and provide most of the support. 
• Next is a 2-inch foam slab to act as a transition layer between the firm foam on the bottom and the softer foam on top.
• In the middle is a 2.5-inch layer of dense, contouring memory foam to help give the Loom & Leaf mattress its signature feel.
• Closer to the top of the mattress is a layer of gel memory foam with little perforations across the bed for increased airflow. 
• Next comes spinal cooling gel, which is only found in the center third of the mattress under your lumbar region. Not only does it help regulate temperature, but it also helps support your back and promote a neutral spinal alignment. 
• The pillow top includes small layers of comfort foam and features their Lumbar Zone Quilting, which gives more support to your trunk area. 

Compare this to the Casper One or Nectar mattress, which only feature three layers, and you can see why the Loom & Leaf mattress is a premium foam bed. 

Who’s it best for?

The Loom & Leaf mattress may or may not be the best fit for you based on your body size and favorite sleeping position. Believe it or not, it matters.  

Sleeper types

Firm mattresses like the Loom & Leaf are typically best for back and stomach sleepers because the firmer the mattress, the more support it offers. Back and stomach sleepers need spinal support to prevent their backs from sagging into the bed, which is a big contributor to back pain. 

Combo sleepers can probably get away with the Relaxed Firm model, and so could side sleepers who weigh around the 200-pound mark.
