Buy Leesa
The Leesa Original mattress is a 10-inch foam mattress designed to cater to a wide range of sleepers with its balanced feel. It features memory foam and aerated poly foam for comfort and reduced heat retention. Rated medium-firm, it suits all sleeping positions but may be less supportive for heavier sleepers. The mattress excels in motion transfer, response time, and pressure relief, and performs well in cooling and off-gassing. However, it has lower scores for edge support and sex performance due to mediocre edge support when sitting. The mattress offers a 100-night trial, a 10-year warranty, and minimal off-gassing. Overall, it is a solid choice for various sleepers, though those needing better edge support might consider other models.
