Leesa Original mattress
Leesa also cares about sustainability and manufactures its mattresses in factories that run on renewable energy. How cool is that? If you value eco-conscious and philanthropic commitments from a company, Leesa stands out. And its mattresses are comfortable too.
I put the Leesa Original mattress to the test, analyzing the flagship bed’s most important features, like firmness, construction, durability, motion isolation and how hot it sleeps. I’ve sorted out who I think the Leesa Original mattress is best suited for and why you should or shouldn’t buy it.
There’s a little give around the edges when testing Leesa’s edge support.
Edge support
There is some give on the edges of the mattress when I sit along the side. It’s a bit sturdier when I lie down, though it’s not so bad that you feel like you’re going to log-roll off the side. Edge support is something worth considering if you sleep with your significant other or a large fluffy animal that takes up a bunch of space on your bed.
Temperature
The Leesa Original mattress isn’t a cool-sleeping bed, regardless of its cooling foam layer. I’d say it’s a temperature-neutral mattress. If you generally sleep at a moderate or cool temperature, this bed should be fine for you. For the most part, I didn’t feel uncomfortable or overly hot while testing the Leesa mattress.
Who should sleep on it?
How long do Leesa mattresses last?
We found the Leesa Original mattress a medium on the firmness scale. This is a five out of 10, with 10 being the firmest.
Is the Leesa mattress too soft?
