Key Similarities
- The Casper Original and Loom & Leaf are all-foam mattresses that gently hug the body for a distinct memory foam experience.
- Both mattresses are excellent for side sleepers, each earning a running-up spot in our top beds for side sleepers.
- The Casper Original and Loom & Leaf scored highly in our test for spine alignment and may provide relief for those with back pain.
- Both come with a sleep trial and free returns so you can feel comfortable buying an online mattress.
Key Differences
- The Loom & Leaf comes in two firmness levels while Casper only comes in one. As such, the Loom & Leaf works for a wider range of sleepers.
- Casper is more affordable, making it the better budget-friendly mattress.
- The Loom & Leaf offers superior support for sleepers who weigh more than 230 lb, appealing to plus-sized sleepers.
- Casper is better for couples as demonstrated by its superior scores in our motion isolation, responsiveness, and edge support tests.
- The Loom & Leaf is slightly cooler than the Casper, so if you sleep hot and sweaty, go with the Loom & Leaf.
- It’s easier to move around on the Casper as the Loom & Leaf hugs the body more deeply, making the Casper a better choice for combination sleepers.

Casper Mattress Review Highlights
- Casper is one of the best mattresses we’ve tested for both spine alignment and pressure relief, and a bed that works for every sleeping position.
- Casper is an excellent mattress for couples. Our sleep testers could barely feel when their partner switched positions.
- The Casper mattress is an incredible value. It’s one of the highest-scoring memory foam mattresses that we’ve tested and one of the most affordable.
- The Casper Original comes in a hybrid version. Casper also offers a Wave Hybrid, Wave Hybrid Snow, and Nova Hybrid for those who prefer a bit of the innerspring bouncy feel.

Loom & Leaf Mattress Review Highlights
- The deeply-hugging high-density memory foam feel is often compared to more expensive luxury mattress brands like Tempur-Pedic.
- With a thick profile and two firmness options, relaxed firm or firm, the Loom & Leaf is well-suited for every sleeping position and body weight. In fact, it’s one of our favorite mattresses for heavy people. The relaxed firm measures a 6 on the 1-10 firmness scale and the firm an 8.
- For a mattress with a traditional memory foam feel—one where you feel like you’re sleeping “in” rather than “on” the surface—the Loom & Leaf sleeps pretty cool.
- Every Saatva mattress comes with a free new mattress setup and old mattress removal, a service called White Glove Delivery.

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.

Inside The Casper Mattress
- Eco-Friendly Mattress Cover: The Casper cover is made from recycled plastic bottles and upcycled cotton. The final feel is soft, stretchy, and resilient.
- Comfort Layer: The top layer is made from Casper’s perforated AirScape polyfoam. This low-density foam is ultra-plush, giving an almost pillowtop-like feel.
- Zoned Memory Foam: A 3-zoned memory foam makes up the second layer of the Casper. It’s to thank for the targeted pressure relief and support that make the Casper a solid mattress for every sleep position.
- Support Foam: Casper’s final layer is a sturdy base foam whose high-density construction adds durability and edge support.

Inside the Loom & Leaf Mattress
- Organic Cotton Cover: The quilted cotton cover is naturally breathable and soft to promote a cool and relaxing sleep experience.
- Gel Memory Foam Layer: Deeply cradling memory foam infused with gel both cushions the body and limits heat retention.
- Premium Memory Foam: Slow-response memory foam conforms closely to the body’s curves. This high-density foam is resistant to sagging and impressively durable.
- Two-Layer Support System: Two layers of foam comprise the support system. Each is a high-density polyfoam that’s durable and responsive.

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.
