It pushes an already expensive product to a less than ideal price. This holds true across their product line, and that $99 price tag is a little much. Casper offers free shipping, something that almost all direct to consumer mattress companies offer at this point, but Saatva do not. The Thing about the figures below though is that they do not tell the whole story. $850 for the Queen from Casper, with Loom and Leaf charging near a grand. The Casper is a less expensive mattress, and considering what you get in it it is a bargain and a half. Winner – Loom and Leaf Casper Vs Loom and Leaf Mattress – Pricing & Returns PolicyĪ section that goes in Casper’s favor from start to finish this. I have to give this section to the Loom and Leaf, but the Casper is by no means a bad option if you know you want to save a bit of money and get a firmer mattress. On one side we have the Casper, a nice, efficient posture correction machine, and on the other we have the Loom and Leaf, the pinnacle of mattress tech decadence. Winner – Loom and Leaf Loom and Leaf Vs Casper Overall Review I will say this, they plush nature of the entire line makes it a little harder on your back, but by no means is it actually hard. It means we can get the luxurious hug of 4 inches of memory foam without the downside of being slow roasted during the night. Two memory foam layers? Won’t that be ridiculously hot? Well that final memory foam layer is gel infused, meaning that heat retention isn’t even a thing here. The Final layer is more memory foam, and I know what you’re thinking. At base we have 5.5 inches of support foam, followed by a thin transition layer that allow the base foam to move well with the memory foam that comes next. A four tier system is in play here, five if you include the quilted topper material as a layer. The Loom and Leaf is a more complicated build. Latex foam does not cause allergic reactions either, so good news there. The memory foam’s heat retention is dissipated by the latex foam, and the porous nature of the topper material, and the extra inch or so of support foam creates a sleeping experience best suited to those with back issues. The Casper has three tiers of foam, a 7″ high density base foam layer topped by 1.5″ of memory foam and a final 1.5 inches of latex foam. The Casper appears rudimentary by comparison to the Loom and Leaf, but its simplifies design allows for a far more focused experience. On to the insides, and the Casper has a few aces here. Not a hard section to call, the better topper is the Loom and Leaf. Don’t get me wrong, the Loom and Leaf is no Picasso, but it looks more bed-like if you know what I mean, quilted, soft and criss-crossed, almost cliche “Bedness”. Aesthetically the Casper is not much to write home about either. It pales in comparison in all other ways, I am sad to say. The only benefit the Casper’s Poly-blend has over the Loom and Leaf is its durability. Cotton is that perfect blend of porousness, durability and comfort that cannot be found with any other single material. The Loom and Leaf uses a 100% cotton topper, quilted for extra comfort, by comparison to the relatively pedestrian Poly-blend used by the Casper. The Topper material of the Loom and Leaf is one of the best on the market, making ti somewhat unfair to compare it to the more cost effect options from Casper. On to the the mattress proper, and we have some very different design philosophies at work. Casper Vs Loom and Leaf Mattress Build Quality and Materials I realize that philanthropy is not a competition, but we must judge them regardless and in this case it is clear that Saatva are far and away in the lead. I have emailed them looking for more information, but have thus far not received word back. Speaking of Casper, I have been unable to dig up any information on their charitable donations. They also donate all returned mattresses to charity, though that is something that can be matched by Casper. Since then I have learned an awful lot about the work Saatva do with the under privileged, not to mention there work back during Hurricane Sandy. In the days before I knew better this section would have been a lot closer.
