This category assesses how well a mattress isolates motion. It’s an imperative feature for couples and light sleepers who don’t want to be disrupted by movement during the night.
Purple is the clear winner in this category. Not only did it score 2.5 points higher than Loom & Leaf, but Loom & Leaf received a relatively low score. If you and your partner sleep like a rock, either bed will work fine, but if you anticipate restless nights with a combo sleeper or partner with a small bladder, Purple is a much better choice.
Edge Support is not always on the radar of mattress shoppers, but it is a feature that can really enhance the comfort of your sleep experience because it extends the usable surface of your bed. For example, if you and your partner both like to stretch out a night, but only have room for a queen size bed, you can rest assured that you will be able to use the full 60” width.
Purple scored 2 points better in this category. While it’s not a deal breaker for most shoppers, if edge support is important to you, the Purple does a great job and a significantly better job than the Loom & Leaf.
This is one of the most important categories for side sleepers and those with joint or back pain. We measure pressure relief using a pressure map that color-codes how much stress is put on different regions of the body while an average-sized sleeper lays on their side.
Again, the Purple mattress scored higher, this time by 1.5 points. If you are prone to morning aches or if you are a side sleeper, the Purple is a better fit. Back sleepers and stomach sleepers will both get adequate pressure relief on either bed, and the Loom & Leaf firm mattress is especially well-suited to back sleepers.
Do you tend to sleep hot? The good news is that both of these mattresses do a relatively good job of tackling heat retention. The Purple mattress uses a breathable cover and top layer to keep you cool, while the Loom & Leaf adds a whole layer of cooling gel memory foam on top of their mattress.
Helpful tip: Extra light, breathable sheets will maximize the cooling potential of these mattresses. Purple even makes special stretchy sheets for their bed.
We think that side sleepers, couples, and cost-conscious shoppers will like the Purple mattress the most. Back and combo sleepers will fare slightly better on the Loom & Leaf. Stomach sleepers, hot sleepers, and those with back pain will get similar levels of relief on either bed.
Ultimately, these are different mattresses with different strengths. Both offer generous trial periods and full refunds for returns (minus a $99 transportation fee for Loom & Leaf). If you need in-home setup, you’ll get that for free with Loom & Leaf mattress purchases. There is very little risk with trying either of these beds, so choose the one that best meets your needs and give it a try!
