Joe: Hey guys, it's Joe from Mattress Clarity.
Today I'm going to be doing another review.
We have the Loom & Leaf mattress.
I'm going to be running this mattress through a number of tests.
I'll be telling you what I like about it, what I don't like about it, give you lots
of good detailed information.
Basically, by the end of the video you're going to know if it's the right fit for you.
Sit back, relax and let's have some fun.

Joe: We'll do a quick overview here.
Before we do that, if you have any detailed questions or you want me to give you a personal
recommendation, all you have to do is leave a comment below.
We have the Loom & Leaf mattress.
This is a memory foam mattress.
It is the second product offering from Saatva.
They have a traditional spring mattress.
This actually looks a lot like that mattress, but it's a very different feel, has some very
high quality memory foam in it.
I'm excited to jump in and give it a try.
Let's talk about the construction of this mattress.
We have the relaxed firm version here.
Starting with the cover.
It's a nice soft cover.
It is organic cotton.
It's also quilted so it has some nice softness at the very top of the mattress.
First layer is two inches of gel memory foam.
It's four-pound density.
It's also convoluted.
There's actually places where air can escape.
It's gel-infused.
With the convolutions, that's two different ways how you're going to sleep cool with this
mattress.
Also on the middle firm of the mattress, there is gel laminated on top of that layer.
It's actually three ways that you'll sleep cool with this mattress.
Underneath that memory foam layer is another two inches of memory foam.
It's a very high-density five-pound memory foam.
You have four inches of memory foam.
They'll give you that classic memory foam feel.
It's pretty slow to react, but it should have very good pressure relief.
Underneath that is a transition layer which basically transits you from the softer comfort
materials to the firmer layers underneath it.
Then you have the base polyfoam layer which is pretty standard base layer for an all-foam
mattress.
Overall, you have a nice classic memory foam feel that should have great pressure relief.
It's three different ways that you're going to sleep cool.
The materials are pretty high quality.
It should be durable especially given this price range as well, very good construction
overall.
Let's talk about firmness and feel.
Firmness-wise this is about 6.5, 7 out of 10, with 10 being the firmest.
You have some initial softness.
There's a quilted cover with some very soft foam in there.
The memory foam layer is underneath it.
It feels a little bit firm initially but then the memory foam kicks in, relieves pressure
after that.
I think it's about 6.5 out of 10.
I'm also going to bring in Martin from our team -- he's bigger than I am -- to offer
different perspective.
As far as feel is concerned, this has that classic memory foam feel.
You can see when I push my hand away, it slowly returns to form.
It's that very classic memory foam feel.
It makes it a little bit harder to move around on the mattress.
It's also good for motion isolation which I'll test later on as well.
I want to talk through how I feel in different sleeping positions.
When I lie down on my back, I feel some initial softness.
I feel the memory foam slowly getting to work.
It definitely has that classic memory foam feel.
You don't sink in too much.
It's a bounce of sleeping on the mattress that feel, versus sleeping in the mattress.
That's right in the middle there.
It's a nice match for me support-wise on my back.
I come down to my side now.
I do feel like it has some good pressure relief.
You might feel some initial firmness.
That goes away as the memory foam gets to work.
I feel like it's about six and a half, seven for me.
It has some pretty good pressure relief.
When I come on my stomach as well, same opinion I have as on my back.
I sink in a little bit.
Maybe if you just sleep on your stomach, you want something a little bit firmer.
For me I thought it was a nice match as well.
I'm going to give you a visual representation of where you might feel pressure on this mattress.
I've got a pressure map here.
I'm going to lie down on my back, side and stomach.
You're going to see anywhere from low pressure blue all the way up to red for high pressure.
Let's get started.
[music]
Martin: Hey guys, Martin here to offer a different perspective.
Joe's 5'9", 160.
I am 6"7", 230.
Definitely a different body type.
He felt it was 6.5 or 7 firmness.
I felt it was about seven and a half.
Like him, definitely some slow compression when you're lying on your side, for my size.
At first I felt it was pretty firm.
As I laid on it a bit longer, I was sinking more in there.
Four inches you can only feel that give.
That's pressure relief.
On my back and my stomach though, I did feel my hips sinking in on both sides.
If you're my size and a back or stomach sleeper, you might want to look for something a little
bit firmer.
Joe: Let's talk about motion isolation or motion transfer.
Basically, if you sleep with a partner and they move around on their side of the bed,
you want to know if that motion transfers over to your side of the bed.
I've got a glass here.
I'm going to move around.
You can see that the glass is barely moving at all.
You got memory foam in this mattress.
I expect it to do quite well.
That's definitely the case here.
I think this isolates motion quite well.
It can be a good option for couples.
Let's talk about edge support.
It's important if you sleep with a partner or you just want to use the full surface area
of the bed.
I'm on the edge here.
You can see the foam here is collapsing.
It's an all-foam mattress, but I feel like I can tie my shoes pretty easily without any
issue.
Come down towards the edge of the bed here.
I don't really feel like I'm going to be ejected from the bed.
I feel like the edge support is definitely a little bit better than average I would say.
I'm going to talk through some of the pros or who I think this might be a good fit for.
This does a very good job of sleeping cool.
Some memory foam owners typically complain about sleeping hot.
This mattress definitely addresses that quite well.
The other thing I really like is pressure relief.
If you're on your side, you may feel some initial firmness.
Then the memory foam gets to work and the pressure goes away.
I feel like this is a very good option for side sleepers.
They use very high quality components that should be durable especially in this price
range.
The value is really here with this mattress.
These components you would see in a store for like $2,500 or $3,000.
The value is really here with this mattress as well.
Let me go over some of the cons or who I think this might not be the best match for.
To me this is about a 6.5, 7 out of 10 on the firmness scale.
They do have a comfort level option that's even firmer.
If you're looking for a soft mattress, I would probably look elsewhere.
This is also a very classic memory foam feel.
There's not a lot of bounce to it.
It's not very responsive.
It's harder to reposition yourself.
Just make sure you understand the type of feel that you're looking for.
Lastly, if you're a heavier sleeper and you sleep just on your stomach or back, you might
find something with a little bit less memory foam, maybe something a little bit firmer,
maybe even going just to the firmer versions of this mattress.
To wrap up, the Loom & Leaf mattress is definitely very comfortable.
The memory foam takes a second or two to kick in, then relieves pressure very well, especially,
when you're on your side.
It definitely has a luxurious feel as well.
Very quality components, I would have expected the price to be higher than it is.
The value's really there.
They've done a great job of addressing the issue of sleeping cool as well.
The only thing I would caution you on is just understanding what the memory foam feel is.
If you're heavier, if you sleep on your stomach or back, you might want something a little
bit firmer.
That's basically it.
