Leesa is one of the first companies that entered the online market for mattresses. Ever since their Leesa Original, everyone should consider a Leesa Mattress because it’s easy to use, dependable and also very comfortable.

Nowadays, Leesa continues to bring customers immediate access to some of the best and highest quality mattresses on the market. They have a vast range of models, like the Legend or Hybrid models. Yet despite that, the Original still remains the most affordable option. The fact that it fits various sleeping positions and body weights makes it suitable for everyone.

Overview

One of the main categories that the Leesa Mattress is for is definitely anyone sleeping on their back. This mattress delivers pressure relief, and it helps align your spine naturally. It will also protect your lumbar region too. It’s also a very affordable mattress, so it’s targeted towards smart shoppers that are on a budget. It can be just as good for combination sleepers. Side sleepers, stomach sleepers and couples might not find this a very good option. Yet it all depends on the person, more often than not.

Mattress Firmness

Let’s first talk about the firmness of the Leesa mattress and the support or comfort it offers to the clients. 

In our experience, the mattress offers greater than average firmness that could fall between 6.5-7.0 out of 10. It’s firm and not soft, something to keep in mind if you’re looking to purchase a soft mattress. The main reason why this is a firm mattress is because it uses polyurethane foam with a very high density. This offers great assistance and support. Its memory foam does provide contouring and pressure relief, which is exactly what you want from a high quality mattress to begin with.

Sleep Experience

Light sleepers that sleep on their back will find this mattress to be very good for their needs. Light side sleepers on the other hand will find it too firm for their needs. But if you’re under 130 lbs and you sleep on your stomach, you should be fine with the Leesa Mattress.

When you’re between 130 to 250 lbs and sleep on your back, this is ideal. Average weight side sleepers still find it too firm. For stomach sleepers within this weight limit, the Leesa Mattress is very soft, they need a firmer mattress.

In case you’re over 250 lbs and you sleep on your back, this is not going to be a very good option for you. The same thing is valid for side sleepers and stomach sleepers. Simply put, if you sleep on your back and you’re under 250 lbs, you should be fine with the Leesa Mattress. There are other situations when this might be ok, but it depends from person to person.

Mattress Construction

Let’s move ahead towards the manufacturing of the Leesa Mattress and talk about the material used in creating this great quality mattress. 

Cover:

The Leesa Mattress’s uppermost layer is made of up of twill fabric, extending a cooling effect and breathability feature to the product. 

Comfort layers:

The topmost layer of Leesa Mattress is made up of a trademarked foam that offers multiple benefits. Along with offering responsiveness and great mobility, the unique foam offers a natural cooling effect. 

Support Layer

Beneath the custom foam layer lies the memory foam layer that contours to the shape of the body therefore providing pressure relief for the neck and back parts of the body.

Base Layer

Last but not least comes the base, which is made up of 7.5 inches of polyfoam and is the thickest most layer of the Leesa Mattress offering support and durability to the mattress. 

Height of the Mattress

The Leesa mattress is 10” tall. When compared to other mattresses on the market, this is an average height. It’s not very different to other models, so that’s not going to be a problem for the most part. There are no other options, all sizes have the same 10” height, which is important to consider if you want to buy this product.

Mattress Performance

With mattress construction, firmness, and feel, there is another vital thing which is mattress performance. Lets look at the performance of Leesa mattresses:

Heating Function

The mattress provides cooler sleep than other memory foam available in the market. The Leesa construction includes a  trademarked foam that allows air to flow throughout the mattress and makes the mattress breathable.

Motion Transfer

When you are looking forward to sharing a bed with your spouse or active partners, the best choice will be a luxury memory foam and soft mattress. Leesa mattresses provide average motion isolation benefits, along with being too bouncy.

Edge Support

When you’re sitting in your bed, one of the crucial things you want to focus on is resting your body and relieving any pressure. The great thing about the Leesa Mattress is that it can deliver extremely good pressure relief. It works very nicely, and it will give you the experience you want in no time. When you sit on this mattress, you get to sink into the top foam layer.

Durability

Leesa Mattress is considered durable, due to its use of high quality trademarked and memory foam. Leesa Mattress can last for seven to ten years. 

Off-Gassing

Leesa mattresses come in a box so there will be some off-gassing when you first pull it out of the box. A minor chemical odour is usual with an all-foam mattress, and it vanishes within 48 hours in a well-ventilated room.

Noise

Based on our experience, the Leesa Mattress is not generating any noise, or if it does, it’s very hard to notice. This mattress doesn’t have coils, so any of the noise will usually come from the foundation or frame.

Mattress For The Couples

If you are looking for a mattress that supports your sexual life, then Leesa Mattress might be a suitable option. The mattress, with its high responsive top custom foam, should allow easy repositioning.

Company Policies

Before buying Leesa mattress, it is prudent to go through the company policies for a better and informed purchase. 

Warranty

All the Leesa Mattress models come with a 10-year full replacement limited warranty. That means there are situations when a full replacement might not be possible, but you will have it repaired at the very least.

Sleep Trial

The mattress comes with 100 nights of sleep trial. In all this time, if you do not feel that Leesa is right the right option, you can return it.

Return Policy

If you are not satisfied with your Leesa mattress, you can return it after 30 nights during the 100-day trial period. Leesa will arrange for a collection from your house and will completely refund your purchase.

Complaints

It’s not suitable for people with high body weight as the mattress cannot provide enough support for them.

Comparison with other brands

Along with product research, it is always prudent to make some comparisons for choosing the best products available in the market.

Leesa is an affordable memory foam mattress, and here are few others we can compare it with to get a better idea:

Leesa Vs. Casper Mattress

Both the Casper and the Leesa are all-foam mattresses, but they do differ in certain aspects. For example, in Leesa, we find the topmost layer is made of a trademarked custom foam, while in Casper, the top layer is made of more responsive polyfoam.

Also, Casper offers a zoned support system for various sleeping positions. So, if you are sleeping on your stomach or back, the mattress might feel firmer, but it will be much softer for the side sleepers. 

Leesa Vs. Purple Mattress

The Leesa comprises multiple layers of soft memory foam that offers a slow-moving feature to the mattress. In comparison, the Purple mattress is made with a hyper-elastic gel polymer grid that gives the mattress a unique feature.

The Leesa is a suitable option for people who side sleepers, lightweight and prefer the feel of memory foam underneath. While the Purple Mattress is a viable option for those, who prefer something more durable and supportive. 

Leesa Vs. Needle and Tuft Mattress

Like Leesa mattresses, Tuft and Needle also feature a somewhat more responsive top layer than the Leesa and thus offer a highly responsive mattress. 

Conclusion

In nutshell, the Leesa Mattress stands out as a great mattress on the market right now. It’s affordable, and you will be impressed with its efficiency and value for money. The quality offered here is perfect for an average sleeper. You also have multiple models and sizes to choose from, so there’s no problem finding the right option to suit your needs!
