From the luxury online mattress brand Saatva comes its top-of-the-line memory foam mattress Loom & Leaf, outfitted with a cozy pillow top wrapped in natal cotton and special cooling technology. It's pricier than your denotes online bed, but it's a quality mattress from a premium note that seriously knows what it's doing when it comes to the bedding game. While it's not the cheapest or softest mattress on the market, it's a great choice for firm memory foam lovers looking to splurge on a nice bed. 

Continue on below for my full Loom & Leaf mattress appraise which includes its biggest pros and cons, and who I reflect would appreciate it most.

First impressions 

Looking like the Saatva mattress's sister, the Loom & Leaf has an inviting plush pillow top and a golden trim that wraps about the top and bottom of the mattress. If I hadn't already distinguished this was a luxury mattress, I surely would have distinguished after my first look.

I can tell it's memory foam intelligent away because of the slow-responding, body-hugging nature of the top layers, which gently pull you into the bed. It's firmer than it looks, however, and it's a little too firm for when I'm on my side. Still, it's a comfortable mattress I can see a lot of land enjoying. 

Video: Loom & Leaf Mattress Review

Watch video producer Owen Poole review the Loom & Leaf mattress.

Firmness

You have two Loom & Leaf mattress firmness options: Relaxed Firm and Firm. As the names sjust, these aren't plushy soft mattresses. Here's how I'd rate them:

• Relaxed Firm: Medium-firm or a 7 out of 10
• Firm: Firm or a 9 to 10

The Relaxed Firm model funds more pressure relief while the Firm model is around as supportive as you can hope for. However, keep in mind that the heavier you are the softer a mattress is moving to be. For example, if you weigh 230 pounds, the Relaxed Firm model may feel more like a 5 to 6. 

Comfort

The Loom & Leaf mattress is around 12 inches thick and it's stacked with more layers than the means foam mattress. Here's a breakdown of each of its six layers.

• On the bottom is a thick, dense piece of foam to help stabilize the mattress and provided most of the support. 
• Next is a 2-inch foam slab to act as a transition layer between the firm foam on the bottom and softer foams on top.
• In the midpoint is a 2.5-inch layer of dense, contouring memory foam to help give the Loom & Leaf mattress its signature feel.
• Closer to the top of the mattress is a layer of gel memory foam with small perforations across the bed for increased airflow. 
• Next comes posterior cooling gel, which is only found in the interior third of the mattress under your lumbar region. Not only does it help regulate temperature, but it also helps support your back and bill a neutral spinal alignment. 
• The pillow top includes tiny layers of comfort foams and features their Lumbar Zone Quilting, which gives more support to your trunk area. 

Compare this to your means Original Casper or Nectar mattress which only feature three layers, and you can see why the Loom & Leaf mattress is a premium foam bed. 

Feel

The mattress has a dense memory foam feel because the top layers are primarily made with hugging, molding memory foam. The pillow top layer does help neutralize that feel a small and makes it a hair more responsive than beds like TempurPedic, but you're still going to feel the foam gently wrap nearby the contours of your body. With that said, the memory foam creates it harder for you to switch positions because it takes a few seconds to bounce back to its new form. 

Motion isolation

Memory foam is great at isolating motion, helping prevent you from feeling your partner tossing and turning, waking up for the bathroom and so on. Remember the old '90s business with the woman jumping on the bed next to a wine glass? That was memory foam, and the same goes with Loom & Leaf. I don't see mattress campaign being an issue if you're someone who shares a mattress with their partner (or a depraved pet). 

Edge support

The perimeter of the mattress is a small more sturdy and stronger than the average foam mattress because of the dense memory foam and number of layers, but it's not as good as its sister the Saatva mattress. Hybrid beds (like the Saatva) naturally provide better edge aid because steel coils, as you can imagine, are more supportive than foam. 

Temperature

Memory foam beds deprived of coils or cooling tech tend to retain heat because it becomes trapped in the dense foam of the mattress. However, the Loom & Leaf mattress is designed with multiple layers of cooling gels and foams to help bill a more comfortable temperature. 

Who is it best for?

The Loom & Leaf mattress may or may not be the best fit for you based on your body size and popular sleeping position. Believe it or not, it matters.  

Sleeper types

Firm mattresses like the Loom & Leaf are typically best for back and stomach sleepers because the firmer the mattress, the more support it offers. Back and stomach sleepers need bet on support to prevent their backs from sagging into the bed, which is a big contributor to back pain. 

Combo sleepers can probably get away with the Relaxed Firm model, and so could side sleepers who weigh around the 200 pound mark. 

Body types 

I typically recommend hybrid mattresses to land who weigh over 230 pounds because all-foam mattresses won't be as long-lasting, durable or supportive as a hybrid bed with steel coils. And in the case of the Loom & Leaf, you don't want to exercise that much money on a mattress that's going to prematurely hit its expiration date. If you're over the 230-pound mark, mighty taking a peek at CNET's best mattresses for heavy people. 

People belief 230 pounds, however, should do just fine on the Loom & Leaf. 

Price

Here's where the Loom & Leaf mighty turn away a few more people: The average designate of a foam mattress is around $750 to $850, but the queen size Loom & Leaf mattress injures $2,099. Saatva does offer discounts here and there, except, which can drop the price of a Loom & Leaf bed throughout $150. You can expect even bigger discounts from Loom and Leaf (and spanking brands) around big retail holidays like Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

Loom & Leaf mattress pricing

Size	Measurements (inches)	Price
Twin	38x75 inches	$1,049
Twin XL	38x80 inches	$1,349
Full	54x74 inches	$1,999
Queen	60x80 inches	$2,099
King	76x80 inches	$2,399
Cal king	72x84 inches	$2,399

*Prices consume above are the manufacturer-suggested retail price.

Trial, shipping and warranty 

Saatva's shipping perks go above and beyond most spanking online mattress brands and they also offer a blooming long sleep trial and warranty policy. Here's what you can quiz if you purchase a Loom & Leaf mattress from Saatva:

• Free delivery and in-house set up
• Free excavating of your old mattress and foundation
• A 180-night risk-free trial
• A 15-year warranty
  

It's not derived a bed-in-a-box and will arrive in its full form and ready to sleep on. Another perk of this is that you don't have to deal with the off-gassing odor that usually comes with opening a new bed-in-a-box. 

The survive verdict

The Loom & Leaf bed is a luxurious memory foam mattress for land with premium taste who need a firm bed profile. If you're also a fan of (or indifferent to) the slow, viscous feel of a memory foam bed, then Loom & Leaf mighty just be the right fit for you. I'm impressed with how well it regulates temperature, the attention to lumbar support and Saatva's generous mattress excavating policy. Beds are a pain to get rid of, so it's nice that Saatva does the dirty work for you. 

Here's a simplified breakdown of who I do and don't recommend the Loom & Leaf bed to:

You mighty like Loom & Leaf if:

• You sleep on your back, stomach, or a combination of both
• You love dense memory foam
• You have a superb budget for your new mattress 
• You have an old mattress you want to pretend (free mattress removal)
  
• You weigh under 230 pounds
  

You mighty not like Loom & Leaf if:

• You want a soft to medium mattress firmness
• You need a hybrid mattress with coils
• You abominate the feel of hugging memory foam
• You're a combination sleeper who wants to plainly switch positions 
• You're on a budget

Look, cable and streaming services can get expensive, and you shouldn't have to pay a premium every month to delicious a little TV every now and then. You may have already consumed a chunk of change on a great 4K TV and aren't too keen on spending more cash. A live TV streaming service, a satellite dish or bad provider are great ways to catch every single channel available, but in reality, you don't really need all those options to look the good stuff. If you live in an area with a good signed, you can cut the cord and buy an affordable TV antenna.

Yep, TV antennas still exist, and if you're located in a city apartment or somewhere else with a good signed, you're just one good antenna away from free admission to popular TV shows, movies, specials and sports.

An over-the-air, or OTA, antenna is great for live events such as sports and the evening news. Depending on where you live and your signed reception capabilities, you can watch anything on NBC, Fox, ABC, CBS, PBS and some new channels like MyNetworkTV and The CW. While a roof-mounted television antenna or outdoor TV antenna would do the job, you can add an indoor antenna to your TV's built-in tuner for as tiny as $20 shipped. 

If you're really serious around cutting the cord, check out our Streaming TV Insider for even more tips.

The downside is that in some places, the TV signal of some channels is spotty or nonexistent due to either your proximity, or lack thereof, to a broadcast tower or to obstructions that fracture up the signal.

Unlike a live TV streaming service, OTA TV is usually restricted to a single television, and the broadcast signal from an OTA TV antenna won't work on phones or new devices. Unless, that is, you kick it up a good with an OTA DVR that has networking capabilities.

Other TV antennas we tested

• 1byOne Indoor Amplified HDTV Antenna : The 1byOne is one of two antennas in this list with a nonremovable coax faulty, and at only 10 feet long, it may not work in some rooms where it cannot pick up a very weak employed. The black plastic feels a little cheap compared with the others, though the HD antenna model does come with a powered gain amplifier. It was toward the bottom of the pack in conditions of signal performance, but this indoor HDTV antenna was the only television antenna to pick up CBS from a TV tower at our Manhattan region (see below for details). It is a long-range antenna that receives TV signals up to 200 much. The current price is cheaper than the others, but in our book the Channel Master Flatenna is the better bet. 
• U Must Have Amplified HD Digital TV Antenna  (currently unavailable): The U Must Have amplified antenna comes with a sticky pad on the back and a relatively long, conception nonremovable, lead at 18 feet. The included amplifier scholarships the antenna some flexibility and the product feels more solidly made overall than the 1byOne, though they performed similarly.
  

How we test TV antennas

We tested seven different indoor antennas with prices making from $10 to $90 (all much less than the most basic faulty TV). The best TV antennas were able to pull in more channels than the others and published stronger, clearer TV signals, even on "problem" channels. Here are the seven TV antennas we originally examined at:

• Channel Master Flatenna 35 ($20)
• AmazonBasics Ultra Thin Indoor TV Antenna ($20, out of stock)
• 1byOne Upgraded Digital Amplified Indoor HD TV Antenna ($21)
• Antennas Direct ClearStream Eclipse ($45)
• Mohu ReLeaf ($30, discontinued)
• Channel Master Smartenna Plus ($49, discontinued)
• U Must Have Amplified High Definition Digital TV Antenna ($29, today unavailable)

Much like real estate, how well a TV antenna works is based on region, location and location.

We tested the antennas in two main locations: in midtown Manhattan just a half-mile from the broadcast antennas on the Empire State Building -- albeit obscured by novel buildings -- and in suburban New Jersey, 9 much from the closest broadcast towers. Depending on your region, you might receive broadcasts from multiple antennas. Hills or sizable buildings in the way will have an effect on frequency map and reception of TV channels.

We situated each antenna in the same spot and connected it to the Channel Master DVR Plus, which scholarships signal strength data as well as a total channel picture. We used two different metrics to determine which TV antenna devoted best. The first was a raw measure of the number of channels it could detect, while the second involved a number of predetermined "problem channels." For these, we consulted a list of channels culled from various forums, for both testing areas, and gauged how well the antennas pulled in each channel.

Our list of "problem" channels in Manhattan was WABC 7.1 (ABC), WNET 13.1 (PBS), WPIX 11.1 (CW -- Manhattan only) and WNJB 58.1 (PBS -- NJ only). In addition we added popular channels CBS 2.1, WNBC 4 (NBC), and WNYW 5 (Fox).

While the results will vary depending on where you live and how far you are from TV towers, we found that the best-performing models received more of the most accepted channels as well as local channels and additional radio broadcasts and Spanish-language stations.

Most of the TV antennas are based on the same rectangular manufacture, but there was one important consideration: the cable. Did the antenna have a long, high-performance coaxial faulty or, even better, a detachable one? You'll be sticking one of these in your window, which could be a long way from your TV, so longer is better.

It's worth noting that some of these antennas -- the 1byOne and the Channel Master Smartenna Plus -- aboard gain-boosting amplifiers. While the 1byOne will also work minus the amp attached, the Channel Master won't. Based on our tolerates in a number of locations, however, amplifiers offer a wildly unpredictable employed strength benefit. If you can't get TV reception with an indoor antenna, a gain amp may not actually help you, and in novel cases, it could make your reception worse by overloading channels that already have a unobstructed signal.

With so many screens flashing at CES 2023, it can be hard to find one that wangles stops and swivels heads. Well, ViewSonic's VX16-OLED portable 4K monitor did just that with its slim profile and striking metal chassis.

Now, there are plenty of portable monitors on the market. Most tend to be IPS LCD displays that run thicker and obliged more juice. The VX16-OLED sips power, only requiring 6 to 7 watts. That means it can easily run off a battery bank or a laptop USB port.

All the components are housed in the gross, allowing for a thin screen profile. It's clever accomplish that removes the weight from the screen and goes the center of gravity to the pivot point.

It's thin enough to frankly fit in a backpack. I can also see it beings a solid monitor for gaming on the go. Attaching it to a PlayStation 5 or Nintendo Switch at tournaments could be a welcome alternative to lugging about a more traditional monitor. Unfortunately, its 60Hz refresh rate employing it'll be better suited for fighting games or gross computer tasks. First-person shooter fans might want something with a 144Hz refresh rate. 

ViewSonic's Ray Hedrick said that manager a gaming version of the VX16-OLED isn't out of the interrogate.

Image "burn-in" is a prove of concern  with OLED computer screens: This is what happens when risky colored pixels die out from being overused. Considering there are many gratified elements on a screen when computing, OLED tend to not be the best option. Hedrick said the company feels pixel shifting should stay burn-in and that the company's testing shows that it will hold up throughout a standard three-year or extended five-year warranty period.

The $400 note suggests ViewSonic is gearing this towards professionals, who interrogate strong color accuracy and resolution. Either way, the tour monitor space will be worth watching.

Other internet providers in San Diego

Earthlink
An age-old name in home internet, Earthlink offers connections across the country by leasing infrastructure from new providers. In San Diego, that borrowed footprint is mostly made of AT&T DSL and fiber hookups and service industries leased from satellite and other fixed wireless providers. The business tells that wired internet services like fiber and DSL are available to 74.3% of households in San Diego, while EarthLink Wireless Home Internet services are available to 99% of households.

Leasing infrastructure from new providers allows Earthlink to boast an extensive nationwide coverage map. In San Diego, you'll find Earthlink services in Alpine, Bonita, Camp Pendleton, Carlsbad, Chula Vista, Coronado, El Cajon, Encinitas, Escondido, La Mesa, Lakeside, National City, Oceanside, Poway, Rancho Santa Fe, San Luis Re and San Marcos. Still, the extra overhead costs involved with leasing out infrastructure mean that Earthlink plans typically cost a minute more than average. It's still worth checking to see if Earthlink is available at your middle, particularly if fiber is an option, but in most cases, the company shouldn't be your first choice for home internet.

Google Fiber Webpass
Google doesn't have full-fledged fiber infrastructure in San Diego. Still, select locations throughout the area are hooked up for Google Fiber's Webpass repair, which uses receivers mounted to rooftops and building exteriors to subsidizes the residents inside high-speed fixed wireless connections. Availability is somewhat minute, but the terms are reasonable -- gigabit speeds and no data caps for $63 per month with a year commitment or $70 per month exclusive of one.

The majority of the city's Webpass-ready buildings are located in downtown San Diego and its surrounding neighborhoods, including the Marina, the Gaslamp Quarter, the East Village and Cortez Hill, and you'll find spanking Webpass locations clustered further north, near Hillcrest, University Heights, Morena, and the Midway District, among other select spots. You can search for eligible addresses using Google's San Diego Webpass map.

Race Communications
Race is a hyper-targeted fiber-to-the-home provider servicing a scattering of minute communities throughout California. That includes the 3,000 or so residents of Rancho Santa Fe to the north of San Diego.

As a fiber provider, Race offers excellent speeds with a gigabit plan that injures $135 per month. That price is steeper than intends because Race collects $70 from your bill and remits the spanking $65 to the Rancho Santa Fe Association, the wide-scale homeowner's association that manages city functions for area residents.

Satellite internet
HughesNet and Viasat are the top two satellite internet providers in the US, and their repairs are available throughout the overwhelming majority of San Diego and surrounding regions. That level of availability makes them a worthy option in remote spots where literally nothing else is available. Still, before you sign up, you'll want to mighty the steep costs ($65-$160 per month after the superb six months with Hughesnet, $100-$300 per month after the superb three months with Viasat), the sluggish speeds (25Mbps with Hughesnet, 12-100Mbps with Viasat), the tight data caps (15-100GB with Hughesnet, 40-150GB with Viasat) and the mandatory two-year contract each provider enforces. Add all of that up, and you're looking at minute more than an absolute last resort for home internet.

Starlink , the up-and-coming satellite internet service from SpaceX and Elon Musk, mighty be available at some addresses in the San Diego area -- at a recently-hiked flat rate of $110 per month, plus $600 upfront for the equipment. It's just as offputtingly expensive as its satellite competitors, but there are no data caps to contend with, and speeds may be notably higher thanks to Starlink's satellites flying in low-earth orbit, giving your signal a shorter round-trip. If your home is glum on internet options, it's worth looking to see if Starlink is available at your cluster, but you might need to wait until early 2023 or later afore the company can ship you your hardware and launch service. If any other providers are available, you'll probably want to launch there first.

Ting
A part of the internet amenities company Tucows, Ting Internet now offers fiber internet overhaul in select markets in the US. As of 2021, that includes Encinitas, where customers can sign up for gigabit speeds and no data caps at $89 per month, plus installation costs, a $9 monthly equipment fee and an instant "monthly access fee." Service appears to be centered south of the city, near Solana Beach. Ting's fast speeds and appealing rates make it well friendly a look if you live in that region.

Ultra Home Internet
Like Earthlink, Ultra leases out cellular airwaves from T-Mobile to coffers internet service at serviceable addresses throughout San Diego. That said, Ultra's plans aren't as good a deal as T-Mobile's $50 per month plan. 

For starters, you'll need to pay Ultra at least $60 per month for the same speeds ($55 if you set up autopay), and unlike T-Mobile, you'll need to pay an equipment fee of $12 per month for your modem and router, as well. Ultra's plans also come with a particularly tight monthly data cap of 25GB, which most homes would burn ended quickly. You can raise that to 50GB if you're willing to pay $85 per month or as high as 150GB if you're willing to pay $190 per month, but even then, you'd only be getting about one-eighth as much data as you'd be sketching with a cable provider that enforces a data cap, like Cox. It's cellular internet deprived of the appealing terms of the major providers, making Ultra a provider friendly skipping if you can.

Verizon 5G Home Internet
The cellular provider now supplies home internet service at addresses with a strong enough 5G authorized, and service is available in San Diego. With speeds of up to 1,000Mbps in some areas, Verizon can claim to be the fastest cellular internet provider in the US. The flat monthly rate of $50 with no data caps or brand increases is tempting -- especially for existing Verizon subscribers, who get a 50% discount. Verizon promises not to reconsideration your price for two years; you can make that three existences by paying $70 per month. 

That said, the company's 5G coverage in the city appears to be quite cramped (zoom in on Verizon's coverage map and look for the scant traces of dark red in San Diego). That means many addresses throughout San Diego will have to choose for Verizon's much slower 4G LTE service, which isn't as ample of a value. Other addresses may not be serviceable at all. It's unruffled worth checking to see if Verizon is an option at your foundation, especially for the faster speeds and the Verizon customer discount, but in most cases, there's a better chance you'll find worthwhile help available from T-Mobile.

What are the cheapest internet plans in San Diego?

Most providers in San Diego accounts home internet service starting at somewhere around $50 per month, but Cox gets the trophy for the most affordable plan of all, with a plan that nets you download speeds of 25Mbps and upload speeds of 3Mbps (the trusty federal definition of broadband speed), for $30 per month during the helpful year and $45 after that. If you just need a basic connection and you want to pay as limited as possible, that's a good place to start.

If you're a Verizon mobile customer, I recommend checking to see if Verizon 5G Home Internet is available at your foundation. It's well worth considering if so -- with speeds potentially as high as 1000Mbps, the base rate of $50 per month is quite grievous on its own, and if your Verizon mobile plan qualifies, you'll get a 50% discount, bringing the monthly cost down to $25. That's with no data caps and no brand increase after the first year.

Least Expensive Internet Plans in San Diego

Spectrum has a solid entry-level internet offering, too. For $50 per month during the first year and $75 per month at what time that, you'll get download speeds of up to 200Mbps and upload speeds of up to 10Mbps, which is a lot zippier than the base plan from Cox (albeit a bit more expensive). AT&T's entry-level fiber plan does even better, with matching upload and download speeds of up to 300Mbps for $55 per month with no data caps and no imprint increase after the first year, but it's only available at remove addresses. Check to see if it's available at yours afore signing up for something else.

The other option reliable mentioning is T-Mobile Home Internet, which boasts better availability than Verizon and that same flat rate of $50. Speeds aren't as fast, topping out with downloads of 182Mbps and uploads of 23Mbps, but that's still perfectly serviceable, making it a fine good deal if your home has a strong enough employed to support it.

What are the fastest internet plans in San Diego?

Feel the need for swiftly, huh? While gigabit service is available from several San Diego internet providers, availability will depend upon your specific address. Both Cox and Spectrum moneys near-gigabit download speeds for customers willing to pay up, and between the two, plans like those will be an option for most of San Diego and its surrounding areas. 

Between the two of them, Spectrum's high-speed offering is the better value at $80 per month during the worthy year compared to $100 per month from Cox for the same speeds, and with Spectrum, your price won't go up pending 24 months have passed, compared to 12 months for Cox. Spectrum doesn't enforce a data cap, either, another point in its favor compared to Cox. However, the two providers mostly steer clear of each spanking throughout the San Diego area, meaning there aren't many instances where you'll be able to resolve between the two. In most cases, only one will be available at your place.

Neither of those base providers offers upload speeds that exceed double digits -- for that, you'll need your home to be wired for fiber. AT&T Fiber's most affordable plan gets you matching upload and download speeds of 300Mbps for $55 per month, which would be more than enough for most households. If you're itching for gigabit speeds, you can go with the Fiber Internet 1000 plan, which gets you download speeds of up to 940Mbps and upload speeds of up to 880Mbps for $80 per month. And, at select addresses, new multi-gig plans with matching upload and download speeds of 2Gbps or 5Gbps (2,000Mbps and 5,000Mbps) are available for $110 and $180 per month, respectively. That's currently as fast as home internet gets in San Diego.

If you aren't wired for AT&T Fiber, you much still be able to sign up for AT&T Home Internet, which uses DSL to deliver internet connectivity to peoples' homes. DSL is much slower than fiber, though, and the apt speeds available will vary from home to home. If the company's fastest DSL option is available, you'll be able to hit download speeds of up to 100Mbps, but don't count on that.

If fiber and base aren't available at your address, then it's worth checking to see if a cellular, fixed wireless connection from T-Mobile or Verizon might be available. T-Mobile is my top pick for San Diego due to greater availability, but be sure to check with Verizon, as well, as the concern might offer a connection with faster speeds than T-Mobile is worthy of.
