Loom and Leaf vs. other brands

Hi Nene1957,

Another trick, warranty is void if there are any stains. Who doesn’t have a stain after years of use? Sorry, but this is just the kind of crap I want to avoid.

This is also a “standard” criteria for almost all mattress warranties in the industry and it’s one of the reasons why a good quality mattress protector is always a good idea with any mattress you purchase.

So now to make a decision. I ordered the Loom and Leaf but did express my concern about their secretiveness about the foam density used. And the salesman totally agreed with me on that. I got the feeling they hear that a lot. He said he didn’t blame me but also that many mf don’t disclose specs and I said that many do and I would prefer to know what I am buying. I have spoken to Select Foam twice and they appear responsive but I had to leave voicemails and didn’t get anyone answering when I contacted them by phone. Hopefully they read reviews here and understand that many buyers will go on to the next company because no one wants headaches after the order is placed… I still want a mattress as close to the Luxe Breeze as I can find and am not finding the kinds of reviews to support that claim. it is easy to make a claim to get business but do the customers who buy the mattress agree. I tried out all the Tempurpedic mattress and the Supreme and Rhapsody were uncomfortable for me. I’m going to read the fine print now on the warranties of the companies I’m considering to see if the stain or other tricks are used to void the warranty.

As I mentioned in my previous replies … a mattress warranty has little to nothing to do with with the durability or useful life of a mattress or how long you are likely to sleep well on it and the most reliable way to assess the durability and useful life of any mattress is by knowing the type and quality of all the layers and components inside it. IMO … it’s much too risky to purchase a mattress from a manufacturer or retailer that isn’t willing or able to disclose the information that you need to make an informed choice about the quality and durability of the materials or to make more meaningful comparisons with other mattresses.

I would also keep in mind that “feel” is so subjective and relative to different body types, sleeping positions, individual circumstances, sensitivities and preferences, or what someone is used to sleeping on and is using as a reference point, that two mattresses that feel the same to one person can feel very different to someone else and the only way to know whether two mattresses will “feel” similar to you in terms of firmness, “feel” and PPP will be based on your own personal experience (regardless of how similar they may feel for someone else).

NOTE ADDED: Because of ongoing customer service issues and delays Select Foam’s membership has been terminated and I would read the warning here before considering them.
