With its organic cotton top and qualities you’d expect from the best mattresses, the Saatva Loom & Leaf feels like the one-stop-shop mattress option for many. It’s more expensive than your average bed, but it’s pulling out all the extras — even offering cooling tech for hot sleepers and is an excellent choice for those searching for a firm memory foam bed.

The Loom & Leaf is crafted with six layers of premium materials.

Feel

The mattress has a dense memory foam feel because the top layers are primarily made with hugging and molding memory foam. The pillow top layer does help neutralize that feel a little and makes it a hair more responsive than beds like TempurPedic, but you’re still going to feel the foam gently wrap around the contours of your body. The memory foam makes it harder for you to switch positions because it takes a few seconds to bounce back to its original form. 

Motion isolation

Memory foam is great at isolating motion, helping prevent you from feeling your partner tossing and turning, waking up for the bathroom and so on. Remember the old ’90s commercial with the woman jumping on the bed next to a wine glass? That was memory foam, and the same goes with Loom & Leaf. I don’t see motion transfer being an issue on the Loom & Leaf if you share your mattress with a partner (or a spoiled pet). 

Edge support

The perimeter of the mattress is sturdier and stronger than the average foam mattress because of the dense memory foam and number of layers, but it’s not as good as its sister, the Saatva Classic mattress. Hybrid beds (like the Saatva Classic) naturally provide better edge support because steel coils, as you can imagine, are more supportive than foam. 

Temperature

Memory foam beds without coils or cooling tech tend to retain heat because body heat becomes trapped in the dense foam of the mattress. The Loom & Leaf mattress is designed with multiple layers of cooling gels and foams to help promote a more comfortable temperature.

Body types 

I typically recommend hybrid mattresses to people who weigh over 230 pounds because all-foam mattresses won’t be as long-lasting, durable or supportive as a hybrid bed with steel coils. In the case of the Loom & Leaf, you don’t want to spend that much money on a mattress that’s going to prematurely hit its expiration date. If you’re over the 230-pound mark, consider taking a peek at CNET’s best mattresses for heavy people

People under 230 pounds should do just fine on the Loom & Leaf. 

Price

Here’s where the Loom & Leaf might turn away a few people: The average price of a foam mattress is around $750 to $850, but the queen-size Loom & Leaf mattress costs $2,395. Luckily, Saatva does offer discounts here and there, which can drop the price of a Loom & Leaf bed by around $150. You can expect even bigger discounts from Loom and Leaf (and other brands) around big retail holidays like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Trial, shipping and warranty 

Saatva’s shipping perks go above and beyond most other online mattress brands and offer a long sleep trial and warranty policy. Here’s what you can expect if you purchase a Loom & Leaf mattress from Saatva:

  • Free delivery and in-home setup
  • Free removal of your old mattress and foundation
  • A 365-night risk-free trial
  • A lifetime warranty

It’s not considered a bed-in-a-box and will arrive in its full form and ready to sleep on. Another perk of this is that you don’t have to deal with the off-gassing odor that usually comes with opening a new bed-in-a-box. 

The final verdict

The Loom & Leaf bed is a luxurious memory foam mattress for people with premium taste who need a firm bed profile. If you’re also a fan of (or indifferent to) the slow, viscous feel of a memory foam bed, then Loom & Leaf might just be the right fit for you. I’m impressed with how well it regulates temperature, the attention to lumbar support and Saatva’s generous mattress removal policy. Beds are a pain to get rid of, so it’s nice that Saatva does the dirty work for you. 

Here’s a simplified breakdown of who I do and don’t recommend the Loom & Leaf bed to:

You might like Loom & Leaf if:

  • You sleep on your back, stomach, or a combination of both
  • You love dense memory foam
  • You have a generous budget for your new mattress 
  • You have an old mattress you want to replace (free mattress removal)
  • You weigh under 230 pounds

You might not like Loom & Leaf if:

  • You want a soft to medium mattress firmness
  • You need a hybrid mattress with coils
  • You dislike the feel of hugging memory foam
  • You’re a combination sleeper who wants to easily switch positions 
  • You’re on a budget
