Joe Auer: What's up everybody?
My name is Joe.
I'm from Mattress Clarity.
Today I'm going to be comparing and contrasting the Loom & Leaf and Lull mattresses.
I'm going to be going over the similarities in the two mattresses, the differences, the
construction differences, letting you know what type of sleeper should get one over the
other.
By the end of the video, you're going to have a good idea of which one you might want to
get.
So stay tuned.

Joe: Let's get things started by talking about what's similar between these two mattresses.
Number one, they're both very popular mattresses.
Both come with great customer service, very customer-friendly policy.
Things like sleep night trials, things of that nature.
They're both all foam mattresses.
They have a similar base layer and they do contain some memory foam in them.
Now let's talk about what's different between these two mattresses.
Number one is price.
Depending on the discounts of the day, the Lulls can be over $500 less expensive than
the Loom & Leaf is, for a queen.
There's also materials differences.
The Loom & Leaf is going to be thicker overall.
It's got a thicker comfort layer.
It's got two inches of memory foam over two and a half inches of more memory foam, then
a transition layer, then a base layer.
The Lull has an inch and a half of gel memory foam over a transition layer, over a base
layer.
There's going to be some firmness differences.
I think the Lull is going to be little bit firmer than the Loom & Leaf is.
I think most would agree with that.
There's also going to be some feel differences.
Given that you have so much more memory foam with the Loom & Leaf, it's going to have more
of that sinking-in feel, the true classic memory foam feel.
Whereas Lull's going to have a more of a balanced foam feel overall.
Now let's take a look under the hood of both mattresses and see what the differences in
construction are.
Starting with the Loom & Leaf, got a quilted cover, it's got a little bit of polyfoam mixed
into the cover there.
Then we have two inches of gel memory foam, then two and a half inches of high-density
memory foam, then a transition layer, then a base layer.
On the Lull over here, we have an inch and a half of gel memory foam, then a transition
layer.
It's got polyfoam, kind of latex like and then a base layer.
Let's talk about what the main differences are.
The Loom & Leaf is going to be thicker overall.
It uses higher-density foams.
I think it's going to be more supportive of the two.
If you sleep on your side and you're heavier, on the Lull, you might bottom-out, where you
have just an inch and a half of that gel memory foam, then a transition layer.
Whereas you have four and a half inches of comfort material and it's really nice memory
foam material, on the Loom & Leaf.
That's just something to know if you're a heavier side-sleeper, you may bottom-out on
the Lull, versus the Loom & Leaf, where you probably will not.
There's also going to be some feel differences here.
Given that you have four and a half inches of memory foam, you're going to really sink
into the Loom & Leaf versus having a balanced feel overall with the Lull.
Sinking in, it's going to be a little firm initially with the memory foam, on the Loom
& Leaf.
Then it's going to slowly get to work.
It may feel a little bit firm at first, but then you slowly get that quicksandy memory
foam feel overall.
Durability wise, I'll definitely say Loom & Leaf is going to be more durable.
As far as sleeping positions, we'll get to that a little bit later in the video, I think
it depends on your way.
Now, let's talk about differences in firmness and feel.
As far as firmness is concerned, I put the Lull at about a 7 out of 10.
Loom & Leaf about a 6.5 out of 10.
Definitely think most people would agree that the Lull's going to be the firmer of the two.
As far as feel's concerned, they both are classified as memory foam mattresses but you
have four and a half inches of memory foam on the Loom & Leaf versus an inch and a half
on the Lull.
You definitely going to have more of that memory foam quicksandy feel.
On the Loom & Leaf, you're going to have some firmness initially, then the memory foam kind
of kicks in, whereas the Lull has more of a balanced foam feel overall.
There are some feel differences there, even though they are both classified as memory
foam mattresses.
Now, I'm going to talk to you how I feel in different sleeping positions on both mattresses.
Starting on my back, on the Lull.
I feel like it's a good match for me.
It's about the right firmness.
I can feel it reaching up into my lumbar area and supporting the lower back.
Same with the Loom & Leaf.
I feel that's about the right firmness and it's a pretty good match from a support perspective
as well.
Switching on to my side, I feel a little bit of firmness on the Lull.
I think it's a little too firm for me.
I do feel some pressure on my shoulders.
On the Loom & Leaf, you feel some initial pressure but then it melts away when the memory
foam kicks in.
I definitely prefer the Loom & Leaf for side-sleeping.
Switching on to my stomach now.
The Lull's probably the better mattress for me.
I think it's a little firmer than the Loom & Leaf.
Loom & Leaf probably has too much comfort material versus the Lull which has just that
inch and a half of gel memory foam on top.
I feel like I'd prefer the Lull for stomach sleeping.
Mattress Clarity, you're going to see some subjective opinions mixed with some objective
tests.
One test we really like is a pressure map test.
I get down on a pressure map, lie down my back, side and stomach, and can see anywhere,
from blue the no pressure, all the way up to red, the high pressure.
You see exactly how well each mattress leaves pressure that way.
If we throw up the results here, of the side-sleeping results, for both the mattresses, you'll see
that the Lull does a little bit less good of a job of relieving pressure, which makes
sense to me.
You got more memory foam on the Loom & Leaf, it's a little bit softer, so the Loom & Leaf
in this case does relieve pressure a little bit better than the Lull does.

Let's get back to the video.
Marten Carlson: Hey guys, Marten here to offer a different perspective.
Joe's 5'9", 160.
I'm 6'7", 230.
I'm a larger person and I want to give my experience to these two mattresses.
Today we have the Lull and the Loom & Leaf.
The Lull for me in terms of firmness, was an 8 out of 10.
The Loom & Leaf here was a 7.5 out of 10.
I will note, I'm a larger person than Joe, so definitely they both felt firmer to me
than they did to him.
In terms of sleeping positions.
Over on the Lull, on my back, a very, very nice overall support.
My hips sink in not too far.
I feel nicely supported overall.
On my side though, some serious pressure on my shoulders and my hips.
I'm sinking further into the mattress than Joe did and feeling some pressure there.
On my stomach though, the same time it's not quite supportive enough for me, so I'm pulling
at the hips there.
On the Loom & Leaf here, on my back, pretty good overall support as well.
My hips sink in that top foam layer.
On my sides, some pressure at first, but it slowly activate it, I feel some decent pressure
leave from my shoulders and hips.
On my stomach, I need more support overall in general.
That being said, I think if you're a heavier back-sleeper, both can work for you.
It's more what kind of feel you're looking for, more of the balanced foam feel or a classic
memory foam feel.
If you're a heavier side-sleeper, I'd lean more towards the Loom & Leaf.
If you're a heavier stomach-sleeper, I think you might need to find a mattress than both
these have to offer.
Joe: If you sleep with a partner, there's two additional things you're going to want
to consider when looking at a mattress: motion transfer and edge support.
Motion transfer is basically, your partner's been around that side of the bed, is that
motion going to be isolated, transfer over to you and possibly wake you up at night?
Edge support's basically, can you sit towards the edge of the bed?
Can you sleep towards the edge of the bed without feeling like you're going to fall
off?
As far as motion transfer is concerned, I'd give Loom & Leaf the advantage here.
It has more memory foam, which does an excellent job at isolating motion.
As far as edge support is concerned, they both don't have really good edge support,
but I'd give Lull the slight advantage.
It's a little bit firmer and does a little better of a job that prevent that rolling-off-the-bed
feeling.
All right, now the moment you've all been waiting for.
Which one of these two mattresses is going to be the best fit for you?
As far as who should get the Lull, I think if you just sleep on your stomach, it's the
more supportive on your stomach, in my opinion.
It's a little bit firmer as well.
If you want something that's just a little bit firmer, it's the firmer of the two for
sure.
Definitely go for the Lull in that case.
If you really just can't decide, it's definitely a lot cheaper, so if you want to just save
some money, you really can't decide, Lull's definitely the way to go.
If you want less of that memory foam feel, where you don't really sink in too far, that's
definitely what you get with the Lull here.
As far as who should go with the Loom & Leaf.
I think if you sleep on your side, it's the better choice, especially if you're a heavier
sleeper, you're not going to bottom-out the way you would with the Lull.
I think if you like that memory foam feel, you got four and a half inches of high-density
memory foam to sink into the mattress a little bit.
It takes a while, you feel some initial firmness and then you slowly sink in, contours very
well to the curves of your body.
That's more of the feel that you get with Loom & Leaf.
It's also the more durable mattress.
If you're doing this as a long-term investment, it's definitely the more durable of the two.
That's basically it.
Hopefully, I have given you good overview of the similarities and differences between
these two mattresses.
Hopefully the choice is pretty clear.
These differences are pretty stark.
