Reviewers noted it offers excellent lumbar support and pressure relief while being 100% fiberglass-free, addressing previous concerns.

Saatva Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm)
$624as of Jul 9

The Saatva Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm) is a hybrid mattress featuring foam layers rather than coils, delivering a memory foam feel with a balanced, conforming surface. Reviewers noted its construction includes a thick layer of den support foam, transition foam that determines firmness, and two memory foam layers with a quilted European pillow top. While it offers a softer, more nuanced feel compared to traditional memory foam mattresses, some reviewers expressed concerns about heat retention and potential insufficient support for heavier sleepers. This mattress is best suited for side sleepers or those who prefer a plush, conforming sleeping experience.

Strengths
  • Features a hybrid construction with foam layers instead of coils, providing a memory foam feel
  • Includes a thick layer of transition foam that determines the firmness profile
  • Has a quilted European pillow top for added comfort and balance
Watch-outs
  • May not provide enough support for heavier individuals or those who prefer firmer sleeping surfaces
  • The memory foam layers may retain heat, potentially causing discomfort for hot sleepers

How they stack up

Nectar Premier

The Nectar Premier stands out for its 60% more cooling fibers and double the pressure-relieving memory foam compared to the Nectar Classic, but it's slightly softer than industry standard and lacks the cooling cover feel that the Leesa Original Mattress offers. Unlike the Saatva mattresses, it doesn't provide the premium hybrid construction or the three firmness options that make Saatva more versatile.

Saatva Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm)

The Saatva Loom & Leaf provides a softer, more conforming feel compared to the Nectar Premier, which offers more cooling fibers. It's not as supportive for heavier individuals as the Saatva Classic, which features dense memory foam and sturdy coils. Unlike the Leesa Original Mattress, it doesn't offer the same level of cooling performance.
