Leesa Mattress Review: An Honest Assessment
Leesa Studio Mattress

The 10-inch, all-foam Leesa Studio Mattress is the company’s most basic and affordable offering.
It has a polyester-blend cover that encases three layers of foam: two layers of memory foam (each with a density of 2.5 pounds per cubic foot) and a base layer of polyurethane foam (1.8 pounds per cubic foot).
When we tested the Leesa Studio, we found it felt somewhat similar to the Leesa Original, with a subtle melting, memory-foam feel. It felt more luxurious and offered better pressure-point relief than other entry-level mattresses we’d tested.
But due to its lower foam densities (3 pounds per cubic foot is the minimum density we consider durable for people weighing under 200 pounds), we aren’t sure how well it will hold up over time.
Key specs
- Materials: memory foam, polyfoam; polyester-blend cover
- Thickness: 10 inches
- Trial: 100-night home trial
- Warranty: lifetime
Leesa Original Hybrid Mattress

The 11-inch Leesa Original Hybrid Mattress is a slightly pared-down version of the Leesa Sapira Hybrid. It is constructed with two layers of memory foam (each with a density of 2.5 pounds per cubic foot), a layer of polyfoam (1.8 pounds per cubic foot), and a layer of pocketed coils (around 700, in queen) to achieve a medium to medium-firm feel.
The Leesa Original Hybrid should have a bouncier feel than the Leesa Studio. But, as with those of the Studio, this bed’s lower foam densities mean we aren’t sure how durable the mattress will be over time.
Key specs
- Materials: memory foam, polyfoam, over 700 support coils (13¾-gauge interior coils; 16-gauge edge coils); polyester-blend cover
- Thickness: 11 inches
- Trial: 100-night home trial
- Warranty: lifetime
Leesa Legend Hybrid Mattress

The 12-inch Leesa Legend Hybrid Mattress, Leesa’s higher-end hybrid offering, packs microcoils, support coils, and dense memory foam inside a stylish cotton-and-merino-wool cover. According to Leesa, the Legend Hybrid should have a medium-soft feel.
This mattress features a top layer of ventilated memory foam (with a density of 3.5 pounds per cubic foot) that Leesa says allows for extra breathability, and it has a second layer of dense memory foam (4 pounds per cubic foot). These two layers of memory foam sit atop a zoned layer of microcoils, which should reduce motion transfer. Below the microcoils, there’s a layer of individually wrapped coils sandwiched between two layers of polyurethane foam (2 pounds per cubic foot and 1.8 pounds per cubic foot), for extra stability and cushioning.
The Leesa Legend Hybrid’s high-quality components, including its dense memory foams, should make it a durable mattress—even for those who weigh more than 200 pounds. But we think the Leesa Sapira Hybrid, with its similarly dense foams and high-quality construction, is an even better value (it’s typically around $400 less than the Legend Hybrid).
Key specs
- Materials: memory foam, polyfoam, over 700 17½-gauge microcoils (in shoulder and leg regions), over 1,000 support coils (15-gauge interior coils; 16-gauge edge coils); polyester-blend cover (including cotton and merino wool)
- Thickness: 12 inches
- Trial: 100-night home trial
- Warranty: lifetime
Leesa Studio Chill Hybrid Mattress

The 12-inch Leesa Studio Chill Hybrid Mattress is the most pared-down option in Leesa’s Chill Collection of quilted-top mattresses made with cooling materials. According to Leesa, the Studio Chill should have a medium-firm feel.
This mattress features a top layer of quilted polyurethane foam (1.5 pounds per cubic foot), atop two layers of memory foam (each with a density of 2.5 pounds per cubic foot). The mattress is supported by individually wrapped coils and a base layer of polyurethane foam (1.5 pounds per cubic foot).
The Studio Chill is Leesa’s most affordable hybrid option and a decent value. However, since it has lower foam densities than our top pick, the Leesa Sapira Hybrid, the Studio Chill may not be as cushioning or as durable.
Key specs
- Materials: memory foam, polyfoam, over 1,000 individually wrapped support coils (14¾-gauge interior coils; 13½-gauge center coils; 15½-gauge edge coils); polyester-blend cover
- Thickness: 12 inches
- Trial: 100-night home trial
- Warranty: lifetime
Leesa Oasis Chill Hybrid Mattress

The 13½-inch Leesa Oasis Chill Hybrid Mattress offers an extra inch of memory foam compared with the Studio Chill, and it is available in two firmness options (plush and cushion-firm). According to Leesa, the plush version should appeal to sleepers who prefer soft mattresses with an extra-cradling feel, while the cushion-firm option has a more medium feel.
The Leesa Oasis Chill Hybrid features a polyester-blend cover with cooling fibers, a layer of polyurethane foam (with a density of 1.5 pounds per cubic foot) that sits atop a layer of copper-infused memory foam, and a third layer of ventilated memory foam, for additional breathability and airflow. Below the foam layers (each have a density of 2.5 pounds per cubic foot) is a layer of individually wrapped coils and a base polyurethane foam layer (1.5 pounds per cubic foot).
Based on our research, we don’t think the lower foam densities in the Oasis Chill will be supportive enough for people who weigh over 200 pounds.
Key specs
- Materials: memory foam, polyfoam, over 1,000 individually wrapped support coils (14¾-gauge interior coils; 13½-gauge center coils; 15½-gauge edge coils); polyester-blend cover
- Thickness: 13½ inches
- Trial: 100-night home trial
- Warranty: lifetime
Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid Mattress

Leesa touts the 14-inch Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid Mattress, with an added layer of foam and a quilted top, as being the upgraded, more-supportive version of the Leesa Sapira Hybrid. The Sapira Chill, which also has cooling features, is available in three firmness levels: plush, medium, and firm.
Like the other mattresses in Leesa’s Chill Collection, the Leesa Sapira Chill includes a cooling cover that encases a top layer of quilted polyurethane foam (1.5 pounds per cubic foot), plus two more layers of memory foam (3 pounds per cubic foot and 2.5 pounds per cubic foot). Below the top three layers of foam, individually wrapped coils are sandwiched between two base layers of polyurethane foam (1.8 pounds per cubic foot and 1.5 pounds per cubic foot) for extra support and bounce.
Although we haven’t tested the Leesa Sapira Chill, we think that the high foam densities in the Leesa Sapira Hybrid (4 pounds per cubic foot) may make it the better value.
Key specs
- Materials: memory foam, polyfoam, over 1,000 individually wrapped support coils (14¾-gauge interior coils; 13½-gauge center coils; 15½-gauge edge coils); polyester-blend cover
- Thickness: 13½ inches
- Trial: 100-night home trial

Leesa Reserve Hybrid Mattress

The Leesa Reserve Hybrid Mattress—the most luxe hybrid option from Leesa’s Specialty Collection—has layers of high-density foams reaching up to 5 pounds per cubic foot (the densest of any of Leesa’s offerings). The mattress comes in three firmness levels: soft, medium, and firm.
Unlike other mattresses from Leesa, this mattress arrives in two pieces: a comfort insert made with layers of memory foam and a base support made of polyfoam and coils. The two separate pieces zip together to form the 14-inch mattress.
In the insert, there are two layers of dense memory foam, with varying densities depending on the mattress’s firmness level. For the soft and medium versions, the top layer of memory foam has a density of 4 pounds per cubic foot; for the firm version, the top layer of memory foam has a density of 2.5 pounds per cubic foot. For the soft version, the second layer of memory foam is 2.5 pounds per cubic foot, and for the medium and firm versions, it’s a dense 5 pounds per cubic foot. The base of the comfort insert is a polyfoam layer with a density of 2.5 pounds per cubic foot (for all firmness levels). The bottom base features individually wrapped coils sandwiched between two layers of polyurethane foam (2.5 pounds per cubic foot and 1.8 pounds per cubic foot).
We group-tested this mattress against other hybrid options, but it didn’t garner enough praise to become a top pick. Although testers liked its cradling feel, the Reserve’s assembly proved cumbersome, and setting it up required two people. Furthermore, the comfort insert (which sits atop the base) didn’t sit flush against the rest of the mattress, so it felt like an incompatible mattress topper rather than an integrated part of the bed.
Key specs
- Materials: memory foam, polyfoam, over 1,000 individually wrapped support coils (14¾-gauge interior coils; 13½-gauge center coils; 15½-gauge edge coils; polyester-blend cover
- Thickness: 14 inches
- Trial: 100-night home trial

Leesa Plus Hybrid Mattress

The 13-inch Leesa Plus Hybrid Mattress is marketed as a stronger, more-durable hybrid model to support sleepers who weigh up to 500 pounds. The company states that the mattress should have a medium feel with a slow-sinking sensation.
The Leesa Plus Hybrid combines three layers of foam that sit atop individually wrapped coils and a foam foundation. The top of the mattress features a quilted polyurethane foam layer (1.5 pounds per cubic foot) and two layers of memory foam (each with a density of 2.5 pounds per cubic foot). At the bottom, the mattress includes a layer of individually wrapped coils and a polyfoam foundation (1.8 pounds per cubic foot).
This mattress has over 900 support coils, which are all a relatively thick 13½ gauge; some of Leesa’s other hybrid mattresses use 13½-gauge coils, but they’re combined with thinner coils around the edges and in the center. The Plus Hybrid’s uniformly thicker coils may help give this mattress more support and durability. However, for those who weigh over 200 pounds, we recommend looking for mattresses that have memory foams with densities of at least 4 pounds per cubic foot.
Key specs
- Materials: memory foam, polyfoam, over 900 13½-gauge individually wrapped support coils; polyester-blend cover
- Thickness: 13 inches
- Trial: 100-night home trial

Leesa Natural Hybrid Mattress

The 13-inch Leesa Natural Hybrid Mattress, designed with furniture retailer West Elm, is marketed toward those who want a mattress made from naturally derived materials (in this case, latex, wool, and cotton). The company says the mattress feels medium.
The wool layer sits right beneath the beige, linen-like cotton cover. The latex layer is sandwiched between two layers of memory foam (1.5 pounds per cubic foot and 2.5 pounds per cubic foot). Below those layers there are additional layers of polyurethane foam (1.8 pounds per cubic foot and 1.5 pounds per cubic foot) surrounding individually wrapped coils.
The wool and latex layers may contribute to cooling; compared with synthetic foam, wool and latex are both more-breathable materials. However, since the latex layer is between two slices of memory foam, any cooling effects may be muted.
Key specs
- Materials: memory foam, wool, latex, polyfoam, over 1,000 individually wrapped support coils (14¾-gauge interior coils; 15½-gauge edge coils); cotton cover
- Thickness: 13 inches
- Trial: 100-night home trial
