The memory foam layers offer you greater comfort and cushioning. The base layer consists of polyfoam to ensure the mattress’s support and firmness.

• Layer 1: The first layer under the quilted cover consists of cooling gel-infused foam. This proprietary spinal zone gel layer ensures cooler sleeping throughout the night and keeps the spine supported.
• Layer 2: This is the second layer of the mattress. It has high-density memory foam for long-lasting support and pressure relief.
• Layer 3: This is the base layer of the Loom & Leaf mattress, made up of high-density polyfoam. This layer gives the bed its durability and stability. The dense polyfoam layer helps keep your body well supported.

Mattress Review and Rating

Despite being an all-foam mattress, the Loom & Leaf does not restrict movement. Its dense foam layers make the mattress quite responsive. This quality helps you switch your position easily without sinking too deep into the bed.

The Loom & Leaf, being an all-foam mattress, offers superior support and pressure relief. Although the mattress is firmer, its foam layers provide ample comfort and a firm cradling. The bed is suited for all sleeping positions, even for side sleepers with soreness in the hips or shoulders. The Relaxed Firm model allows for more sinkage than the Firm model. The polyfoam base layer of the Loom & Leaf offers more significant support and keeps your spine properly aligned.

Consider your sleeping position to determine how the Loom & Leaf shall feel when you sleep on it.

• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers like sleeping on a softer mattress that allows the shoulders and hips to sink in just the right amount. The Relaxed Firm Loom & Leaf will best suit side sleepers weighing 130-230 lbs. The memory foam comfort layer allows their shoulders and hips to sink in just the right amount, relieving pressure points. Heavier sleepers, weighing over 230 lbs, might also find the Firm version comfortable.
• Back Sleepers: The comfort layers of the Loom & Leaf mattress allow for the hips to sink to some extent, thereby relieving pressure points. The dense foam layers keep the body well supported and promote proper spinal alignment. Back sleepers up to 230 lbs shall find the Relaxed Firm version of the Loom & Leaf comfortable enough. Heavier sleepers weighing over 230 lbs may find the Firm version more comforting.
• Stomach Sleepers: For sleepers less than 230 lbs, the Relaxed Firm Loom & Leaf shall work the best. If you are a heavy sleeper, you might go for the Firm version for more significant support.
• Heavy Sleepers: Heavy sleepers generally require a firmer bed for some support. The Firm version of the Loom & Leaf shall suit such sleepers the best. The foam layers of the mattress shall offer ample cushioning and support for a more relaxed sleeping experience.

Generally, most all-foam mattresses tend to wrap around your body traps heat. The Loom & Leaf mattress performs exceptionally well in this case. Its breathable cotton cover and the gel infusion help retain heat so that you enjoy a cooler sleep.

The Firm version of the mattress keeps the body well elevated. Thus, you won’t sink in, which reduces your chances of sleeping hot. However, being slightly softer, the Relaxed Firm Loom & Leaf enables you to sink to some extent, which may cause some heat build-up. But you shall still sleep cool, thanks to the gel layer of the mattress.

The all-foam construction of the Loom & Leaf mattress makes it exceptionally good at absorbing motion transfer. The high-density foam layers absorb movement and prevent it from traveling to the other side of the bed. This quality makes this bed a good option for sleepers who share their bed. Thus, you won’t feel it whenever your partner changes position or moves in and out of bed.

The Loom & Leaf performs better than most other all-foam mattresses in terms of edge support. Edges of all-foam mattresses in a general sink in drastically, making it difficult to use the edges of the bed. But in the case of the Loom & Leaf, the edges are pretty sturdy. This quality allows you to even sleep near the borders without too much risk of rolling off. The Firm version of the mattress has sturdier edge support than the Relaxed Firm variant.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Sleeping is one of the most integral parts of our daily lives. A night of good sleep energizes us and increases our working capacity drastically. However, the mattress we sleep on and our sleeping position determine the quality of our sleep.

The Loom & Leaf mattress is quite suitable for all sleeping positions. This mattress will keep your body well supported and elevated on the firmer side. The cotton cover and gel infusion wicks away heat and keeps you cool throughout the night. The firm sensation of the mattress keeps the lumbar region of the stomach and back sleepers well supported. Even side sleepers shall find this mattress quite comforting.

• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers prefer a softer mattress that allows the shoulders and hips to sink in just the right amount. The Relaxed Firm Loom & Leaf is best suited for side sleepers weighing 130-230 lbs. The memory foam comfort layer allows their shoulders and hips to sink in just the right amount, relieving pressure points. The support core of the bed prevents the body from sinking in too deep. Heavier sleepers, weighing over 230 lbs, might also find the Firm version comfortable.
• Back Sleepers: Back sleepers require more support, especially in the lumbar region. The Loom & Leaf mattress serves just the purpose. The comfort layers of the mattress allow for the hips to sink to some extent, thereby relieving pressure points. The dense foam layers keep the body well supported and promote proper spinal alignment. Back sleepers up to 230 lbs shall find the Relaxed Firm version of the Loom & Leaf comfortable enough. Heavier sleepers weighing over 230 lbs may find the Firm version more comforting.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers need a firm mattress to keep their spine correctly aligned. A softer mattress may cause their spine to bend uncomfortably, creating pressure points. Therefore, for sleepers less than 230 lbs, the Relaxed Firm Loom & Leaf shall work the best. If you are a heavy sleeper, you might go for the Firm version for more significant support.
• Combination Sleepers- Those who alternate between various positions: Combination sleepers keep switching between different positions throughout the night. If you are a lightweight or average-weight sleeper, you may choose the Relaxed Firm version. Go for the Firm mattress for greater comfort if you are on the heavier side.

Mattress Review and Rating

Motion transfer in the Loom & Leaf, an all-foam mattress, is above average. This is a result of its high elasticity and delayed response to pressure. Since no spring has been used, no motion travels across. This reduces night sleep disturbance if you have a sleeping partner. The performance of Relaxed Firm is better in this regard, compared to the Firm variant since it does have some latent bounciness.

This mattress rates excellently on relief to pressure points. The dense foam results in an appropriate contouring of the mattress surface, making it suitable even for side sleepers. Pressure relief is comparatively better in the Firm option if your body weight is above 250 pounds, or if you like a firm sleeping level. All foam mattresses tend to retain heat, but Loom & Leaf fares well, vis a vis its competitors in this respect. It has a breathable cotton cover, gel infused foam and phase changing material (PCM) in the lumbar pad that assist in this regard. The control is even better for the Firm model, because the sinking is lesser and a lesser amount of heat is trapped.

Edge support is weak in all foam mattresses, and Loom & Leaf is no exception. The lack of a reinforced perimeter is felt if you attempt to sit on the edge, and your body weight is on the higher side. That said, people with less than 250 pounds body weight would feel adequate stability on the surface.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

• Side Sleepers: Since both the variants of the bed have higher-than-average firmness levels, Side sleepers with body weight between 150 and 250 pounds would get adequate support. The USP here is the laminated lumbar pad that keeps the spine well supported and reduces pressure on the hips and shoulders.
• Back Sleepers: Back sleepers require adequate spinal alignment, especially near hips and shoulders. For people below 150 pounds, the sinking might be too low for enough support. At the same time, the sinking might be a little too much for people above 250 pounds. While the laminated lumbar support plays a pivotal role here, the support to back sleepers is best for people in the 150-250 pounds range. 
• Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers need proper spinal alignment near their middle spinal zones. Laminated lumbar pad again comes to the rescue as it prevents the body from sinking in too much, so as to retain the pressure on their spines. For people with over 150 pounds of body weight, the support diminishes as the body weight increases.
• Heavy Sleepers: The Firm variant is recommended for people with a bigger body size. Since they tend to carry some extra weight around their bellies, Loom & Leaf might not perform well for Back and Stomach sleepers. However, the laminated lumbar pad still makes it an excellent all-foam option, if you prefer it over innerspring mattresses.
