Loom a&Leaf and GhostBed are two popular foam mattresses that have seen great success since they launched. There are a lot of similarities between the two mattresses, as well as a lot of differences. I’ll go through those in this Loom & Leaf vs GhostBed mattress comparison to help you make a more informed decision.
The cover is quilted with a nice organic cotton and is zoned to provide more support in the middle of the mattress where people need it the most (where most of their weight is)
The top layer is 2 inches of gel memory foam that give the mattress excellent body contouring.
The next layer is 2.5 inches of 5 lb. density memory foam, which provides great deep compression support for the mattress.
After a transition layer is a high-density support layer, which is a pretty standard base layer in the market.
This is a true memory foam mattress where the company uses premium foams and does a very thorough job of making sure the mattress will sleep cool.
Loom & Leaf Mattress
Loom & Leaf is a perfect choice for those looking for a luxury memory foam feel but don’t want to sleep hot.
We recommend this mattress for the following sleeper types:
Back Pain
This bed is a good match for anyone struggling with back pain, as it cushions the lumbar region and has enough support to keep the spine neutrally aligned.
Side Sleepers
This bed offers pressure relief at both the shoulders and hips, making it a great fit for side sleepers.
Financing Options
Financing options are available for this mattress.
The cover is thin and is made from polyester but doesn’t affect the overall feel of the mattress significantly.
The top layer is 1.5 inches of synthetic latex, which gives the mattress some bounce, responsiveness, and breathability.
The next layer is 2 inches of gel memory foam, which give the mattress good pressure relief and body contouring.
The base layer is 7.5 inches of high-density polyfoam, which is pretty standard in the industry for all-foam mattresses.
Taken together the mattress is designed to have the benefits of latex and memory foam without the drawbacks. It has good bounce and sleepers will sink into the mattress just a little bit.
GhostBed Mattress
The GhostBed is a supportive bed-in-a-box mattress that is a great option for stomach sleepers, hot sleepers, and those looking for a value mattress.
We recommend this mattress for the following sleeper types:
Hot Sleepers
This bed features extra cooling technology, making it great for hot sleepers.
Back Sleepers
This bed’s strong support is ideal for back sleepers because it helps keep the spine neutrally aligned.
Stomach Sleepers
This mattress is ideal for stomach sleepers as its firm support promotes spinal alignment.
Back Pain
This bed is a good match for anyone struggling with back pain, as it cushions the lumbar region and has enough support to keep the spine neutrally aligned.
Financing Options
Financing options are available for this mattress.
The videos below will show off the feel and firmness of the mattresses. Loom & Leaf is much slower-moving. The firmness is about the same, with GhostBed maybe being slightly firmer.

Pick Loom & Leaf If:
You Are Used to Memory Foam– If someone likes slowly sinking into their mattress, Loom & Leaf will provide the feel you are used to.
Motion Isolation Is a Key Factor for You– Because of its use of high-density memory foam, Loom and Leaf does an especially good job at isolating motion.
You Want to Sink Into Your Mattress More– Loom and Leaf gives people a more sleeping “in” the mattress feel than GhostBed does.
Pick GhostBed If:
You Want Some Bounce– The latex top layer gives people more bounce and resilience than L&L does, which makes it easier to move around and potentially better for sex as well.
You Want to Save Money– If someone is really having trouble deciding between the two, then the GhostBed at least gives them the opportunity to save some money (up to a few hundred dollars).
Which Should People Pick?
Both are good mattresses for the right person, but the differences at this point should be rather clear. People should read through this article a few times, assess their own needs and preferences, and then make a more informed decision.
