Pop quiz! Which bed is best for you? Study up with our Avocado vs. Loom & Leaf comparison and you’re guaranteed to ace the test.

We’ll help you decide between a hybrid created by a company that puts natural materials and clean sleep above all else, and a memory foam product owned by parent company Saatva, a brand dedicated to affordable luxury.

These individual reviews will give you a closer look at each bed:

Quick Comparison: Avocado vs Loom & Leaf

We Would Recommend Buying Avocado if You are Looking for:

• Easy mobility. The materials in this item respond quickly and people will not sink very deeply into the comfort layers. Ample bounce also helps to promote easy movement.
• Natural temperature regulation. The wool inside the cover promotes temperature control without using any manufactured chemicals or gels.
• Zoned support. Different gauges of coils are utilized to provide both solid support and gentle compression where the body needs it most.

We Would Recommend Buying Loom & Leaf if You are Looking for:

• Multiple Comfort Options. Shoppers can pick from a Relaxed Firm and Firm option to ensure they get the level of support they need most.
• Cooler memory foam. The addition of the gel panel should help keep the memory foam from getting too hot. Plus, the breathable cotton cover should promote more airflow.
• Enhanced motion control. The memory materials in this item absorb and isolate movement, helping to reduce motion transfer.

Comparing Firmness (Support & Feel)

Our comfort scale works to provide you with an idea of what each product will feel like for most people. This system uses numbers from 1 to 10 to assign a ranking to each mattress, which corresponds to a specific feel. The closer a score is to 1 the softer it will feel, while higher scores are firmer, maxing out at 10.

The hybrid holds a medium-firm to firm score of 7. While side sleepers might prefer a softer comfort level to provide pressure relief, they should find that the zoned coils offer comfortable compression. The zoning promises even weight distribution, which should promote a neutral spinal alignment.

The memory foam is available in a Relaxed Firm model, which we have scored at a 6. A firmer option is also offered, which we gave a score of 7.5. While both versions of this mattress are a little firmer, the all-foam construction should still offer plenty of pressure relief and lumbar support to promote proper alignment of the spine.

The materials in the hybrid bed respond quickly, reclaiming their shape as combination sleepers move around. The foams inside the all-foam mattress might take a little longer to reform, but they are still faster to respond than many traditional memory foams. Either bed is likely to allow sleepers to move around easily, but people seeking enhanced mobility might prefer the Avocado.

Comparing Sinkage and Bounce

Both brands promote airflow by keeping sleepers in a gentle cradle closer to the top of each mattress. The hybrid offers enhanced bounce, thanks to the combination of latex and coils, making it a good choice for those concerned with mobility. The all-foam is denser, offering less bounce, though repositioning should still be a breeze due to the combination of fairly fast-responding materials and minimal sinkage.

Comparing Motion Transfer

Each product does a good job of reducing motion transfer, which in turn might reduce sleep disruptions from feeling your partner’s restless movements. Most shoppers are likely to sleep well on either bed, but people who sleep light and require enhanced motion control might prefer the all-foam as its construction may absorb more vibration than the hybrid.

Comparing Edge Support

Shoppers aren’t likely to experience many issues sleeping on the edge of either bed, noticing some compression but not feeling like they might roll off. Couples wanting extra edge support so they can spread out a bit might enjoy the enhanced edge support provided by the reinforced coils in the hybrid.

Comparing Construction (Materials & Quality)

Avocado Construction

The company compresses this GOLS latex and coil hybrid before shipping it inside a box.

The GOTS certified organic cotton cover helps to naturally control temperature through the use of  GOTS certified wool. This mattress is 11 inches tall.

• The top layer is a 2-inch Dunlop Latex designed to provide pressure relief and bounce. This material is aerated to promote airflow.
• The second layer splits its 8-inch Steel Coils into zones to offer the right amount of pressure relief and support for different areas of the body. The steel in these springs has been upcycled in an effort to remain environmentally conscious.
• The bottom layer creates a stable foundation for the upper materials through the use of a higher density 1-inch Dunlop Latex.
• The perimeter offers enhanced edge support thanks to reinforced coils placed around the edges of the mattress.

Loom & Leaf Construction

Like all of their products, Saatva does not compress this memory foam mattress when it is shipped.

This mattress features a certified organic cotton cover. A natural fire barrier is employed through the use of thistle inside the cover. The mattress height is 12 inches.

• The initial layer is 3 inches of memory foam combined with a Spinal Zone Gel panel. While the memory foam provides pressure relief, the gel fosters cooling and good spine support.
• The middle layer holds a Transition Loft Pad that is 2 inches thick. This memory foam is designed to further enhance support and contouring.
• The final layer creates a sturdy foundation for the bed by utilizing a 6-inch polyfoam.
