Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid vs Loom & Leaf mattress: Design and materials

• Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress is made of both springs and foams
• Loom & Leaf is an all-foam mattress
• Both feature a lumbar crown support zone

The main difference between the Memory Foam Hybrid and Loom & Leaf is the design. The former has a memory-foam-and-spring hybrid design (hence the name) while the Loom & Leaf is all foam.Both have five internal layers ( and six overall if you count their antimicrobial organic cotton covers), with the Loom & Leaf standing just 0.5" taller.

Like the best hybrid mattresses, the Memory Foam Hybrid uses individually wrapped coils near the bottom of the mattress for greater airflow and support, while the top layers are made from foam for contouring comfort. The Memory Foam Hybrid also features high-density foam rails to provide edge support and a layer of base foam for overall stability.

Meanwhile, the Loom & Leaf uses high-density and durable foam layers for support at the base, with upper contouring memory foam layers for pressure relief. Like the best memory foam mattresses, the top foam layers are infused with cooling gel to offset the heat-trapping tendencies of memory foam.

Both mattresses have quilted tops for plush pressure relief (and a luxurious finish.) They also both feature a gel-infused lumbar support core. This is a layer of zoned memory foam that provides extra support and relief to the lumbar region.

Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid vs Loom & Leaf mattress: Support and comfort

• Loom & Leaf comes in two firmness levels: Relaxed Firm and Firm
• Memory Foam Hybrid is only available in medium firm
• Both have excellent pressure relief

When we tested both mattresses for our Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid mattress review and the Saatva Loom & Leaf mattress review, we were impressed by how they suit all sleep positions, including side sleeping. They both excel at pressure relief, cushioning the touch points to prevent numb arms and painful shoulders.

We should point out that, as it's available in two firmness levels, the Saatva Loom & Leaf can be slightly softer than the Memory Foam Hybrid — or even firmer. We tested the Relaxed Firm and rated it seven out of 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 indicating rock hard.) Our testing team rated the Memory Foam Hybrid a slightly firmer 7.5-8 out of 10. We expect the Firm Loom & Leaf to be harder again.

In terms of temperature regulation, the Memory Foam Hybrid's airflow-boosting springs mean the bed sleeps much cooler than the all-foam Loom & Leaf, which we found to trap heat. For an all-foam Saatva bed with a cooler feel, check out our Saatva Contour5 Mattress review.

As for motion isolation, both scored high in our motion transfer tests, but the Loom & Leaf scored slightly better. However, the Memory Foam Hybrid has better edge support.
