The Leesa Original Hybrid mattress is a versatile hybrid mattress combining foam and pocketed coils, offering a balanced medium-firm feel suitable for all sleeping positions, especially for those under 250 pounds. It excels in cooling, motion isolation, and responsiveness, making it ideal for couples. The mattress has a fast response time and high bounce, enhancing comfort and usability. It provides good pressure relief, though heavier sleepers might need a thicker comfort layer. Edge support is good when lying down but fair when sitting. Some off-gassing was noted, lasting about six days. Leesa offers a 100-night trial and a 10-year warranty, with free shipping and returns.
