Loom & Leaf vs. Leesa: which one of these beds is best for your sleeping needs. Our experts will help you decide.

»

It’s time for a match-up of two great foam mattresses: the Loom & Leaf vs. the Leesa Original. Leesa offers customers a competitively-priced memory foam bed while Loom & Leaf is a more eco-friendly brainchild of mattress empire Saatva.

Both high-end, all-foam mattresses are rather affordable considering the quality they offer; a typical bed of the same quality could cost you a small fortune in a retail store. This is due to the fact that both companies cut out the middleman and sell directly to the consumer online.

The Loom & Leaf is available as Relaxed Firm and Firm, but we’ll be reviewing the Relaxed Firm for this comparison.

Quick Comparison:  Loom & Leaf vs. Leesa

---

Comparing Firmness, Support & Feel 

Firmness 

Our firmness scale ranges from 1 to 10, with 1 being the softest. We placed the Loom & Leaf Relaxed Firm at 6, which is medium firmness. The Leesa comes in at 5.5, making it slightly softer. The Loom & Leaf is a bed that will accommodate a tremendous range of sleepers, regardless of their weight. We found Leesa’s flagship model to likely be a better match for lighter sleepers, though some heavier folks may do okay on this bed depending on their sleep position.

Support 

Our team found that the Loom & Leaf’s thick foam base and transitional loft pad offered great support that distributed body weight and maintained spine alignment. We think this support level works best for average to heavyweight sleepers.

The middle memory layer and dense foam base on the Leesa also provide great support, especially for heavier areas like the hips. Light to average-weight sleepers should enjoy the support on this bed as well as some heavyweight sleepers. Heavier stomach sleepers, however,  may prefer a firmer bed. 

Feel 

The quilted organic cotton cover on the Loom & Leaf feels super soft. We found that although the mattress offers enough support for heavier sleepers, it still provides a plush feel, thanks to its contouring memory materials.

The Leesa Original also feels soft, but this one feels springy to the touch, unlike the less responsive Loom & Leaf. However, pushing deeper, the memory layer offers a slower response time. “Its foams are incredibly contouring and should provide excellent pressure relief,” reported Emma, a Sleep Advisor mattress tester.

Comparing Sinkage and Bounce 

The Loom & Leaf’s cover prevents you from sinking too far into the comfort layer by offering gentle contouring. The Leesa offers slightly deeper sinkage, with a medium cradle. However, this deeper cradle shouldn’t affect your ability to move around on the surface, according to our reviewer, Emma. “One of the things that really surprised me was how responsive this was for an all-foam bed. It makes it easier to move around on, while still accepting my body’s weight as I lay down.”

While the Loom & Leaf offers very little by way of bounce, its gentler cradle keeps you more on top of the bed, so repositioning should be a cinch. 

Comparing Motion Transfer

Our team found that both mattresses did a great job of isolating motion, which is to be expected of all-foam models. A mattress with good motion isolation helps prevent movement from traveling across the bed when a co-sleeper moves around or gets in and out of bed.

The Loom & Leaf’s slower responding comfort layer helps it excel at motion isolation. Despite it having some bounce, Emma noted that the Leesa also did a fantastic job. “One of the things I noticed was that the Leesa mattress has really good motion isolation; you should find it easy to move around and reposition yourself without disturbing your partner.”

Comparing Cooling 

While neither of these beds are marketed as cooling beds, they both have temperature-regulating features. The Loom & Leaf’s breathable organic cotton cover helps keep the surface cool while its gel-infused memory foam and breathable memory foams prevent heat from being trapped in the mattress.

The Leesa also has a breathable cover. It also features aerated poly foam, which should cool the comfort layer down. However, as this mattress has a little more sinkage than the Loom & Leaf, your body is less exposed to air, which may cause it to sleep slightly hotter. Having said this, we think many people will sleep temperature-neutral on either mattress.

Comparing Construction (Materials & Quality)

Loom & Leaf Construction

The Loom & Leaf offers a fairly substantial 12-inch profile. Eco-conscious consumers are likely to appreciate that the cover is made with organic cotton. It has also been constructed with the brand’s Guardin™ antimicrobial treatment, as well as a natural flame retardant derived from thistle pulp. 

This construction breakdown focuses on the Relaxed Firm option. 

• The top layer’s 2-inch gel-infused memory foam is designed to provide comfort and cooling. The lumbar-zoned gel memory foam panel provides additional support and pressure relief.
• The second layer features 2.5 inches of high-density memory foam, offering comfort, support, and a gentle cradle.
• The third layer’s 2-inch loft pad should provide an easy transition from the comfort layer to the base. The firmness of this layer differs in the Relaxed Firm and Firm options.
• The bottom layer has 5.5 inches of dense poly foam that should retain the overall shape of the bed.

Leesa Construction

Unlike its counterpart, the Leesa uses a slightly thinner construction, coming in at 10 inches tall. The mattress starts with a breathable cool-knit cover made from polyester and viscose. The cover zips off, but the brand doesn’t recommend removing it for cleaning; they advise using a mattress protector instead. 

• The first layer features 2 inches of Leesa’s exclusive breathable poly foam that’s designed to sleep cool with its aerated construction. This layer acts as the comfort layer, providing a medium level of sinkage for pressure relief and responsiveness for bounce. 
• The middle layer is a 2-inch memory foam recovery layer that should provide support, as well as additional body contouring for added pressure relief.
• The base layer is made up of a 6-inch tall unit of high-density poly foam, which offers support for the sleeper and durability for the rest of the bed.
