Our Verdict
Loom & Leaf is a luxury memory foam mattress, and the Leesa lineup includes a mix of foam, hybrid, memory foam hybrid, and plus-sized mattresses.
The Loom and Leaf is available in a Medium (5.5) firmness as well as a Firm (8) version. Leesa mattresses range from Soft (4) up to Firm (8). Leesa also has numerous mattresses at the medium (5) to medium-firm (6) level.
The Loom & Leaf is $2,699 for a queen mattress. The average price among all Leesa mattresses tested to date is $1,508. Suffice to say, Leesa is the more budget-friendly and value brand.
The Loom & Leaf has a performance score of 8.75 and the Leesa average performance score is 8.93. Considering all 12 Leesa mattresses that we’ve tested to date, 4 of the mattresses have performance that is lower than the Loom & Leaf and 8 Leesa mattresses perform better than Loom & Leaf.
Both Leesa and Loom & Leaf are strong performers, but they are very different mattresses. Loom and Leaf is memory foam, meaning lots of body contouring hug, lower motion transfer, and incredible pressure relief. Leesa has a variety of mattress types, but in general offers a more balanced and less polarizing type of feel. Which is best for you will likely to be determined by your budget and your preference for (or lack thereof) memory foam.

Which Mattress Should You Buy?
The mattresses earning the title for “best overall” from each brand have the highest overall performance. Overall performance is determined by scores from 8 different categories, including cooling, motion transfer, response time, edge support, sex performance, pressure relief, off-gassing, and company.
Sinkage and bounce are also taken into consideration, but they are not direct scoring factors.
Between Loom & Leaf and Leesa, the two top recommendations are Loom & Leaf and Leesa Sapira.
Best Loom & Leaf
Loom & Leaf
Type: Memory Foam
Firmness: Medium (5.5), Firm (8)
The Loom & Leaf is a 12″ memory foam mattress with an organic cotton cover, memory foam comfort layer, and support foam base. It has a medium feel with extremely deep sinkage and very low bounce. This mattress is the definition of a luxury memory foam mattress and has the price to boot. Loom & Leaf performs among the top 41% of all mattresses tested to date and costs $2,699 for a queen mattress. In our performance tests, this mattress earned a 10/10 score in the following categories: Motion Transfer, Pressure Relief, and Off-Gassing. This is the mattress my wife and I have personally slept on since 2017.
Best Leesa
Leesa Sapira
Type: Hybrid
Firmness: Medium-Firm (6)
The Leesa Sapira is an 11″ hybrid mattress with memory foam, support foam, and pocketed coils. It has a medium-firm feel with moderate sinkage and very high bounce. The Sapira is priced at $1,599 for a queen and ranks among the top 1% of all mattresses we’ve tested. In our tests, the Sapira earns a 10/10 for the following categories: Cooling, Motion Transfer, and Pressure Relief. The Sapira is a great option for sleepers looking for a medium-firm mattress with fantastic oveall performance.
If you’re looking for the best-of-the-best between these two brands, I’d recommend the Loom & Leaf and Leesa Sapira. Leesa has the higher overall performance and a lower price tag (40% less than the Loom & Leaf).
But they also have very different feels, so it’s not all about the price and performance score. For a luxury memory foam feel with extremely deep sinkage and very low levels of bounce, Loom & Leaf is the better option.
The Leesa Sapira is a hybrid mattress with moderate sinkage and very high bounce. If you want a mattress that is active and engaging, the Sapira may be the better pick.
Both mattresses have exceptional pressure relief and high-quality materials.
Best Mattress by Category
Before we get into the gritty details, let’s honor some specific mattresses first. The mattresses featured below performed exceptionally well when considering each individual category listed.
| Best For | Loom & Leaf | Leesa |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | Loom & Leaf | Leesa Sapira |
| Side Sleepers | Loom & Leaf | Leesa Legend |
| Stomach or Back Sleepers | Loom & Leaf | Leesa Sapira |
| Heavy People | Loom & Leaf | Leesa Plus Hybrid |
| Cooling | Loom & Leaf | Leesa Sapira |
| Affordable | Loom & Leaf | Leesa Original |
| Back Pain | Loom & Leaf | Leesa Reserve |

| Soft Mattress | Loom & Leaf | Leesa Sapira Chill (Soft) |
| Medium-Firm Mattress | Loom & Leaf | Leesa Sapira |
| Firm Mattress | Loom & Leaf | Leesa Sapira Chill (Firm) |
For side sleepers, my top recommendations would be the Loom & Leaf and Leesa Legend. Side sleepers benefit from mattresses with thicker comfort layers and excellent pressure relief. The Loom & Leaf earned a 10/10 and the Leesa Legend earned a 9/10, both fantastic scores.
The Loom & Leaf is 12″ thick with a classic memory foam feel. It has great cooling, low motion transfer, extremely deep sinkage, and very low bounce.
The Leesa Legend has an overall score of 9.18 (better than Loom & Leaf), and a price that is lower than Loom & Leaf ($2,079). The Legend has minimal sinkage, high bounce, and a Medium firmness (5 out of 10).

If you typically sleep on your back or stomach, you’ll want to opt for something with less sinkage. I’d recommend the Leesa Sapira. The Loom & Leaf could be an option if you’re a lighter-weight sleeper and don’t mind the deeper sinkage of the Loom & Leaf.
Heavier-weighted sleepers will likely find the sinkage to be too deep on Loom & Leaf for back and stomach sleeping. However, the firm version of Loom & Leaf will have less sinkage and is a better option, provided you’re okay with the firmer feel.
The Leesa Sapira has moderate sinkage levels and very high bounce. For back or stomach sleepers, there is less engagement into the layers, which helps to maintain spinal alignment. This mattress earns a 10/10 performance score for cooling, motion transfer, and pressure relief.

- Click here to read our Best Mattress for Stomach Sleepers guide.
For heavier-weighted sleepers, I’d recommend the Leesa Plus Hybrid. The Leesa Plus hybrid is specifically designed to meet the needs of heavier-weighted sleepers.
The Plus Hybrid has a slightly lower overall performance score (8.72) compared to the Loom & Leaf (8.75). But it also has a much lower price tag ($1319 for a queen), while also delivering better support for heavier bodies.
Again, the Loom & Leaf isn’t a bad mattress, but it’s just not designed for heavier sleepers over 300 pounds. Materials are less responsive, it has extremely deep sinkage, and edge support struggles a bit as well.

If cooling is a top priority for you, again, my top recommendations would be the Loom & Leaf and Leesa Sapira. The Loom & Leaf earns a 9/10 for cooling and the Sapira earns a 10/10 for cooling.
Loom & Leaf is a memory foam mattress, which is naturally not known for great cooling. And yet, for a memory foam mattress, the Loom & Leaf feels very cool and breathable. It has an organic cotton cover and cooling gel foam that helps limit heat retention and pull heat away from the body while you sleep.
The Leesa Sapira has a poly foam comfort layer with a thin, cotton cover. It really doesn’t take any notable strides towards advanced cooling (unless you opt for the Leesa Sapira Chill model, which uses a phase-change cooling cover). That being said, it still earns a fantastic 10/10 for exceptional cooling performance.

For sleepers on a tight budget, I’d recommend the Leesa Original. The Leesa comes in under $1,000 ($929 for a queen mattress), while the Loom & Leaf is $2,600 for the same size. As an added bonus, the Leesa also has higher performance (9.00 for Leesa compared to 8.75 for Loom & Leaf).

If you struggle with back pain, my top picks would be the Loom & Leaf and Leesa Reserve. Both of these mattresses are high-quality mattresses, despite having slightly different feels.
The Loom & Leaf is a 12″ memory foam mattress with extremely deep sinkage, very low bounce, and a Medium (5) or Firm (8) feel. It has a pressure relief score of 10 out of 10 with 4.5″ of comfort material above the support layer.
The Leesa Reserve is a 14″ memory foam hybrid with moderate sinkage and low bounce. This mattress is available in three firmness levels—Soft (4), Medium (5.5), and Slightly Firm (7). In our tests, the Reserve earned a 10/10 for pressure relief and cooling, but it also has a higher price tag the Loom & Leaf ($2,959).

For couples looking for a mattress that enhances sex performance, I’d recommend the Leesa Original Hybrid.
In our performance tests, the Loom & Leaf earned a sex score of 6.1 and the Leesa Original Hybrid had a sex score of 9.5. This category is simply no contest.
For the best sex performance, we’re looking for high bounce, supportive edge, good cooling, good pressure relief, and minimal noise.
The Leesa Original Hybrid hits the nail on the head across all sub-categories and is a fantastic option for sleepers looking for better intimacy.

The Leesa Sapira Chill (Soft version), rated a 4 out of 10 firmness, is the best soft mattress in this comparison. The Loom & Leaf has a Medium (5) or Firm (8) feel and would not be well suited for sleepers looking for a soft feel.

Both the Loom & Leaf and Leesa Sapira Chill have a firm version of their mattress, rating an 8 out of 10 on the firmness scale.
Loom & Leaf has extremely deep sinkage and very low bounce. The Leesa Sapira Chill has moderate sinkage and high bounce. Depending on the exact feel you’re looking for, either mattress could be a good match for you.

Not sure which firmness you need? Your ideal mattress firmness depends on two major factors—sleeping position and body weight. With the right firmness, your body and spine will maintain proper alignment when sleeping.
Lightweight sleepers or those who sleep on their side tend to need a softer mattress. By comparison, heavier sleepers or those who sleep on their back or stomach tend to need more support and a firmer feel.

Cooling Test
Between Loom & Leaf and Leesa, both brands have great cooling, scoring between 9-10. The single mattress with the highest cooling performance is the Leesa Sapira, the only mattress in this comparison to earn a 10/10 for cooling performance.
Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding cooling.
| Cooling Test | Score | Baseline | Max. Temp. | Ending Temp. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loom & Leaf | 9.0 | 79.1° | 87.6° | 80.8° |
| Leesa Legend | 9.0 | 81.2° | 91.2° | 84.0° |
| Leesa Original | 9.0 | 83.6° | 92.1° | 86.5° |
| Leesa Sapira | 10 | 81.2° | 90.0° | 83.5° |
- Baseline Temperature – the temperature of the mattress before anyone lies on it
- Maximum Temperature (0 minute) – the temperature of the mattress after lying on it for 15 minutes
- Ending Temperature (after 5 minutes) – the temperature of the mattress after being lied upon and having no one on it for 5 minutes
Below, you can watch a video of how the heat dissipates on each mattress during our cooling test. For this test, we lie on the mattress for 15 minutes, get off the mattress, and then take periodic surface-level temperature measurements.
Loom & Leaf
Leesa Legend
Leesa Sapira
Leesa Original
The average cooling score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.7.
From this data, we see that all 4 mattresses in the comparison have better cooling performance than average. The Leesa Sapira and Leesa Legend have a pocketed coil base that helps to improve airflow and limit heat retention.
The Leesa Original and Loom & Leaf are both all-foam mattresses, but scored a 9/10 for cooling performance.
Sinkage Test
Looking at sinkage, the Loom & Leaf has the deepest sinkage, and Leesa offers a range between minimal and moderate sinkage.
Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding sinkage.
| Sinkage Test | Sinkage Feel | Sinkage Depth |
|---|---|---|
| Loom & Leaf | Extremely Deep | 3.09″ |
| Leesa Legend | Minimal | 1.88″ |
| Leesa Original | Moderate | 2.09″ |
| Leesa Sapira | Moderate | 2.05″ |
The level of sinkage for each mattress is documented in the images below.
Loom & Leaf
Leesa Legend
Leesa Sapira
Leesa Original
The average sinkage depth across all mattresses tested to date is 2.23″.
Back and stomach sleepers usually prefer less sinkage, which better maintains proper alignment of their spine. All three Leesa mattresses hit that mark, but do so at very different price ranges.
Mattresses with minimal to moderate sinkage include: Leesa Legend (1.88″), Leesa Original (2.09″), and the Leesa Sapira (2.05″). All of these mattresses have less sinkage than average, with the Leesa Original having the lowest sticker price as well.
Generally, side sleepers enjoy a deeper level of sinkage, as that typically translates to better pressure relief and contour. For deeper sinkage, opt for the Loom & Leaf (3.09″) but understand that it will come at a higher price than the Leesa.
Motion Transfer Test
Looking at motion transfer levels, all four mattresses in this comparison scored a 10/10 and have less motion transfer than average.
Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding motion transfer.
| Motion Transfer Test | Score | Acc. Range |
|---|---|---|
| Loom & Leaf | 10 | 5.02 m/s² |
| Leesa Legend | 10 | 4.38 m/s² |
| Leesa Original | 10 | 2.06 m/s² |
| Leesa Sapira | 10 | 4.66 m/s² |
The level of motion transfer on each mattress is also documented in the videos below.
Loom & Leaf
Leesa Legend
Leesa Sapira
Leesa Original
The average motion transfer score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.2.
The Loom & Leaf and Leesa mattresses do a fantastic job of limiting motion transfer across the surface of the mattress. Each mattress has a foam comfort layer that helps to absorb motion and prevent energy from translating.
For the absolute lowest level of motion transfer, check out the Leesa Original. In our tests, the Leesa had an acceleration range of only 2.06 m/s², which is 76% less than the average mattress.
Response Test
Moving onto response time, the Leesa mattresses have a much faster material recovery speed compared to Loom & Leaf. Memory foam is known to have a slower response time than other foams and significantly slower than coils.
Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding response.
| Response Test | Score | Mostly Recovered | Completely Recovered |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loom & Leaf | 7.1 | 0.6 seconds | 1.6 seconds |
| Leesa Legend | 9.9 | 0.2 seconds | 0.4 seconds |
| Leesa Original | 9.4 | 0.3 seconds | 0.5 seconds |
| Leesa Sapira | 9.5 | 0.3 seconds | 0.4 seconds |
In our tests, Loom & Leaf performs just as we’d expect a mattress with a traditional memory foam feel to perform. If you’re looking for a memory foam feel, this isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but if you’re wanting something more responsive and bouncey, Loom & Leaf likely isn’t the right pick for you.
The level of responsiveness for each mattress is documented in the videos below.
Loom & Leaf
Leesa Legend
Leesa Sapira
Leesa Original
The average response score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.8.
All three Leesa mattresses perform significantly faster than average. All 3 models use highly responsive poly foams. The Leesa Sapira and Leesa Legend also have pocketed coil bases that give the mattress most pushback and faster response.
The mattress with the fastest response time is the Leesa Legend. In our tests, this mattress was mostly recovered by 0.2 seconds and fully recovered by 0.4 seconds.
Bounce Test
Concerning bounce, these four mattresses have a pretty wide range of options. Being memory foam, the Loom & Leaf has the least amount of bounce (very low), which is pretty typical for this type of material. Leesa offers Low, High, or Very High bounce levels.
Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding bounce.
| Bounce Test | Bounce Feel | Bounce Height |
|---|---|---|
| Loom & Leaf | Very Low | 4.72″ |
| Leesa Legend | High | 11.57″ |
| Leesa Original | Low | 7.94″ |
| Leesa Sapira | Very High | 12.67″ |
The level of bounce for each mattress is documented in the videos below.
Loom & Leaf
Leesa Legend
Leesa Sapira
Leesa Original
The average bounce across all mattresses tested to date is 8.78″.
Mattresses with more bounce than average include the Leesa Legend (11.57″) and the Leesa Sapira (12.67″).
Mattresses with less bounce than average include the Loom & Leaf (4.72″) and Leesa Original (7.94″).
Mattresses with more bounce are better for ease of movement and improved sex performance. However, higher bounce also typically creates a higher level of motion transfer. So there are pros and cons when it comes to bounce.
Edge Support Test
While neither brand is particularly impressive for edge support, Leesa is technically the better option in this category.
Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding edge support.
| Edge Support Test | Score | Sitting Sinkage | Lying Support |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loom & Leaf | 7.5 | 6.25″ | Excellent |
| Leesa Legend | 8.0 | 5.50″ | Excellent |
| Leesa Original | 8.0 | 5.50″ | Excellent |
| Leesa Sapira | 7.5 | 6.25″ | Excellent |
The level of edge support is documented in the images below.
Loom & Leaf
Leesa Legend
Leesa Sapira
Leesa Original
The average edge support score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.6.
The Loom & Leaf and Leesa Sapira both scored a 7.5 for edge support, with 6.25″ of sinkage when seated at the edge of the mattress. This is 55% deeper sinkage than the average mattress.
Note: For better edge support, we’re looking for less sinkage when sitting directly on the edge.
Both the Leesa Original and Leesa Legend measured 5.5″ of sitting sinkage, both less sinkage than the Loom & Leaf and Leesa Sapira, but still 36% deeper than average.
If edge support is critically important, you may want to opt for the Leesa Sapira Chill (9.5) or Leesa Natural Hybrid (9.4), both of which have significantly better edge support than the other Leesa mattresses listed.
Sex Test
For the best sex performance, Leesa takes the lead over Loom & Leaf. The Leesa Legend and Leesa Sapira both scored high (in the 9s), and the Loom & Leaf and Leesa Original were quite a bit lower.
Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding sex.
| Sex Test | Sex Score | Bounce | Edge Support | Noise | Pressure Relief | Cooling |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Loom & Leaf | 6.1 | 5.4 | 5.9 | 10 | 10 | 9.0 |
| Leesa Legend | 9.0 | 9.7 | 6.9 | 8.0 | 9.0 | 9.0 |
| Leesa Original | 7.6 | 7.4 | 6.9 | 10 | 9.0 | 9.0 |
| Leesa Sapira | 9.1 | 10 | 5.9 | 8.0 | 10 | 10 |
The average sex score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.3.
The Leesa Sapira and Leesa Legend both have high scores for sex performance. These mattresses have high bounce, which makes up 60% of the sex score. Edge support is a bit lacking (which makes up 20% of the sex score), but because the other categories score highly, it doesn’t really pull down the score too much.
Meanwhile, the Loom & Leaf and Leesa Original both struggle more with lower bounce and worse edge support. If sex performance is a top priority, I would avoid these two mattresses.
Pressure Relief Test
For sleepers highly concerned with pressure relief, any of these 4 mattresses can be a suitable choice. They all score between 9-10 in our pressure relief tests.
Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding pressure relief.
| Pressure Relief Test | Score | Comfort Layer | Support Layer |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loom & Leaf | 10 | 4.5″ | 7.5″ |
| Leesa Legend | 9.0 | 4.5″ | 7.0″ |
| Leesa Original | 9.0 | 4.0″ | 6.0″ |
| Leesa Sapira | 10 | 4.0″ | 7.0″ |
Loom & Leaf
Leesa Legend
Leesa Sapira
Leesa Original
The average pressure relief score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.7.
The Leesa Legend and Leesa Original both score a 9/10 for pressure relief, with Leesa Legend sporting a comfort layer that is 0.5″ thicker than the Leesa Original.
The Loom & Leaf and Leesa Sapira earn a 10/10 for pressure relief, with similar comfort layers between 4-4.5″ thick.
