Compare the Inside Construction

Let’s take a look at the construction of each mattress and how it influences the feel and performance. 

The Casper mattress is a medium-firm memory foam mattress whose firmness falls at a 6 on the 1-10 firmness scale. The feel is one of plush comfort along the mattress surface with sufficient support to limit sinkage at the hips.

This mattress excels at supporting every sleeping position thanks to its zoned transition foam. Softer foam along the top and bottom third of the mattress and firmer foam along the middle promote optimal body alignment. Side sleepers are met with the plush give they need at the shoulders, stomach sleepers enjoy added trunk support, and back sleepers do well with the balanced feel from head-to-toe. While the Casper’s construction makes it work for most sleepers, its minimal comfort layers don’t deliver the cushion needed for those who weigh more than 230 lbs.

The Loom & Leaf is a luxury memory foam mattress that comes in two firmness levels. The relaxed firm is a medium-firm mattress, falling at a 6 on the 1-10 firmness scale. The firm is aptly named, rating at a firm 8 out of 10. The relaxed firm is best for side sleepers and back sleepers who enjoy ample cushion, while the firm is great for stomach sleepers and back sleepers who prefer a firmer feel. 

Both comfort layers are made from high-density memory foam that combines to create the traditional memory foam cradling feel. Together, these layers measure 4.5”, making the Loom & Leaf one of the best memory foam mattresses for heavy sleepers. However, lightweight side sleepers are likely to find even the relaxed-firm option too firm.

Responsiveness

During our evaluations, we look to see how well certain mattresses allow us to roll from one position to another. We gave the Casper a perfect 10/10 since it did a good job of allowing our body to move across the surface. The Loom & Leaf scored above average in this category, too, but it was two points behind with an 8/10. Combination sleepers will likely prefer the Casper over the Loom & Leaf.

Edge Support

You may not consider how sturdy your mattress’ perimeter is, but this is important so you don’t roll off your bed. Casper, once again, outperformed the Loom & Leaf by a significant amount of points. We recommend that those who spread out at night or sleep with a partner consider the Casper.

Cooling

One area where the Loom & Leaf did slightly better than the Casper was in our cooling evaluation. However, since these are both all-foam mattresses, they don’t do as well keeping you at an ideal temperature as compared to hybrids. If you’re a hot sleeper, consider one of our best cooling mattresses.

Final Breakdown: Which is the Best Mattress?

There is no one mattress that’s perfect for everybody. Instead, the right fit is based on your habits, preferences, and body shape. As such, even though the Casper performed better in most categories during our testing, the Loom & Leaf is still a better option for certain sleepers.

We recommend the Loom & Leaf for sleepers who love the deep hugging feel of traditional memory foam. Its feel is much like that of mattresses that cost well over two times as much as the Loom & Leaf. Its generous comfort layers make it one of the best all-foam beds for sleepers who weigh more than 230 lbs. And with two firmness levels, the Loom & Leaf accommodates the needs of most sleepers. 

The original Casper mattress is one of the most popular bed-in-a-box mattresses, and for good reason. Its high-quality construction, impressive performance during our testing, and competitive price point make it an incredible value. With zoned support and a plush comfort layer, it works well for light-to-average-weight side, back, and stomach sleepers. It’s also one of the best beds that we’ve tested for couples, thanks to its ease of movement, motion dampening abilities, and sturdy edges. 

Both Casper and Loom & Leaf beds come with free shipping and returns during their respective trial periods. Although Saatva’s trial period is almost triple Casper’s. What this means is that you can try out either of these beds with zero financial risk, minus a $99 transportation fee for the Loom & Leaf. Plus, the Casper mattress comes with a standard warranty to keep you covered for at least a decade and the Loom & Leaf comes with a lifetime warranty.
