Saatva Loom & Leaf

Sources & review notes

• Exact model — Saatva Loom & Leaf — Relaxed Firm, 12 in all-foam. Checked 2026-11-07. Reviewed in the Relaxed Firm comfort level, the softer of two; a Firm (8/10 by Saatva) version sells at the same price and changes the fit calls below. Not the Saatva Contour5, the newer 12.5-inch memory-foam bed Saatva sells beside it at the same queen price, and not the Saatva Memory Foam Hybrid, which adds coils.
• Type — All-foam memory foam (no coils). Checked 2026-11-07. Saatva lists six layers: a quilted organic-cotton cover with Lumbar Zone quilting, a gel memory-foam lumbar crown, 2 in of perforated gel memory foam, a 2.5 in "5-lb" memory-foam core, a 2 in transitional loft pad, and a 5.5 in foam base. CertiPUR-US certified foams; plant-based thistle flame barrier.
• Firmness — Relaxed Firm (Saatva 5–7 scale) — 5.5/10 measured. Checked 2026-11-07. NapLab measured the Relaxed Firm at 5.5. The other labs place it firmer: Sleep Foundation rates the softer option medium firm (6), and Mattress Clarity found its Relaxed Firm unit 7, firmer than advertised. Expect a medium feel with deep sink, not a firm surface.
• Height — 12 inches. Checked 2026-11-07. Saatva’s listing gives each foam layer’s thickness (2 + 2.5 + 2 + 5.5 in) but no total height, and its own published height list names the 12.5-inch Contour5 but omits the Loom & Leaf. Sleep Foundation, NapLab and Mattress Clarity all list a 12-inch profile.
• Price — Check current price — $3,179 queen list. Checked 2026-11-07. On the checked date a Pre-Black Friday sale (advertised to end 9 November) cut the queen to $2,804. Relaxed Firm and Firm cost the same. Other sizes, list then sale: Twin $2,029 / $1,704, Twin XL $2,104 / $1,779, Full $2,969 / $2,644, King and Cal King $3,849 / $3,424, Split King and Split Cal King $4,208 / $3,783.
• Trial — 365-night home trial, no minimum. Checked 2026-11-07. Saatva states there is no mandatory minimum trial period. An exchange for a different comfort level or model is allowed within the trial for a $99 processing fee.
• Delivery — Free white-glove in-room delivery and setup. Checked 2026-11-07. Made to order; Saatva estimates 9–21 days (the same page elsewhere says 1–3 weeks). Old-mattress removal is free when ticked at checkout. Continental US only; Alaska and Hawaii need a freight forwarder.
• Returns — Refund minus a $99 pickup processing fee. Checked 2026-11-07. Saatva collects the mattress; you do not repackage it. Purchases made at a Saatva Viewing Room cannot be returned or exchanged.
• Warranty — Lifetime, original purchaser, 1.5-inch impression threshold. Checked 2026-11-07. Years 1–2: a defective mattress is replaced. From year 3: repaired and re-covered for a $149 processing fee, or a one-time Fairness Replacement at $99 plus 50–80% of retail. Body impressions deeper than 1.5 in qualify. Slats must be under 4 in apart, queen and larger need centre support, and the warranty does not transfer.
• Firmness — Medium (5.5/10) on the Relaxed Firm. Measured data. Inside Saatva’s own 5–7 range, but the labs spread from 5.5 (NapLab) to 6 (Sleep Foundation) to 7 (Mattress Clarity). Read it as medium with a firm-ish base under a deep top, not as a firm bed.
• Pressure relief — 3.09 in sinkage (average 2.14 in); no PSI published. Measured data. NapLab calls the sinkage extremely deep and gave pressure relief its top score; Sleep Foundation scored 9 of 10. The relief comes from 4.5 in of memory foam letting shoulders and hips settle.
• Cooling — 87.6 °F peak from a 79.1 °F start. Measured data. NapLab scored cooling slightly above its average, Sleep Foundation 7 of 10, and Mattress Clarity measured a 9.7 °F rise and scored 3.5 of 5, below its average. Average for memory foam, helped by the cotton cover; not a cooling bed.
• Motion isolation — 5.02 m/s² acceleration (average 8.78), settles in 0.46 s. Measured data. The strongest measured result. All three labs agree: Sleep Foundation 9.5 of 10 and Mattress Clarity 5 of 5.
• Response / bounce — 4.72 in total bounce (average 9.53); 1.6 s to full recovery (average 0.9 s). Measured data. Classic slow memory foam. The surface does not push back, so turning over takes effort; Sleep Foundation scored ease of movement 6 of 10.
• Edge support — 6.25 in seated compression (average 4.04 in). Measured data. The weakest result, as expected from an all-foam bed with no reinforced border. Sleep Foundation scored 7 and Mattress Clarity 4.4 of 5 with lighter loads, so lying near the edge is fine; sitting on it is soft.
• Noise — Minimal — top score from NapLab and Mattress Clarity. Measured data. No springs, so nothing to creak. Neither lab publishes a decibel figure; a noisy frame or foundation is the more likely source.
