Pros & Cons

The mattress is recommended for sleepers looking for

• high-quality mattress at an affordable price
• Are light and average weight

Not so ideal for sleepers, who

• Want to sleep on a very soft or extra-firm mattress
• Are heavyweight and sleep hot

Firmness

Firmness is very subjective. It defines how soft or hard a mattress can be. The same bed may be soft to some and firm to others. It depends not only on personal choice but also on body weight and body type. Whether a mattress is soft or firm, it should be such that it supports body weight, promote healthy spine alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping.

Like all other variants from Leesa, the Leesa Studio is a medium-firm mattress with a plush comfort layer. The firmness lies in the range 5-7 on a firmness scale of 10. It suits all sleeping positions, back, side or stomach. Its design provides maximum support and comfort and relieves pressure and lower back pain.

Material & Construction

The Leesa Studio is an all-foam high-quality mattress at an affordable price. The core is the same as the Leesa Original, while the top two layers are memory foam made. The first layer is memory foam, followed by a transitional foam layer for pressure relieving. High-density polyfoam is used in the support core, giving the mattress stability and making it durable.

The different layers in the mattress are detailed below:

• Layer 1: This layer is 1.5-inches thick and has a density of 2.5 pounds per cubic foot (PCF). It is a layer of responsive memory foam that keeps the temperature in check. This memory foam layer differs from the Original Leesa mattress as that is slightly less dense and thick. The Original Leesa uses proprietary comfort foam, and the Studio variant uses memory foam.
• Layer 2: Beneath the top layer, another 1.5 inches thick layer has a density of 2.5 PCF. This layer is a pressure-relieving foam layer that helps relieve pressure from the hips and shoulders, regardless of the sleeping position. Again, this layer differs from the Original Leesa Mattress as the Original is a bit less dense and less thick.
• Layer 3: The bottom layer is 7 inches thick with a density of 1.8 PCF, which provides support and stability. It is made of the same foam base offered in the Original Leesa mattress.

The Studio is encased in a blue stripe cover that is polyester-blend made. The fabric is very soft and breathable.

Mattress Review and Rating

Repositioning

Repositioning describes the ability to change positions easily while sleeping. Memory foam is known for its slow response compared to polyfoam and latex. The memory foam made of the Studio thus offers very little bounce on the surface, allowing you to move on the bed quickly without disturbing your sleeping partner. People weighing up to 230 pounds because of the medium firmness and minimal sinkage offered by the mattress will be able to make movements easily.

Those weighing above 230 pounds will sink too much into the mattress thus will struggle to move across the bed. They should look for firmer mattresses.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Buying a mattress is difficult as there is a wide variety available in the market. The right mattress will help you have a good night’s sleep and give you relief from pains especially when you wake up in the morning. So, pain relief is an important feature that most people look for while buying a mattress. Back pain can be relieved only when the spine is relaxed.

Since the top layer of Leesa Studio is made up of memory foam, undoubtedly, the mattress gives a light memory foam feel. It is a comfortable, supportive mattress that is neither too soft nor firm. The Leesa Studio has decent performance in the areas of pressure relief. The three layers of memory foam support the body and relieve pressure around the joints of the hips and shoulders. The mattress is suitable to all types of sleepers. The soft memory foam on the top layer offers a good amount of pressure relief for the hips and shoulders for side sleepers. The mattress as a whole offers fundamental support needed under the lumbar region for back and stomach sleepers. Like all the mattresses in the Leesa lineup, the Studio is also a temperature-neutral mattress and will not let the sleeper feel particularly hot or cold.

The suitability of the mattress for different sleeping positions is detailed below:

• Back sleepers: Back sleepers need support under their spine and neck to sleep properly. Light and average-weight back sleepers will get enough body contouring sleeping in the Studio. The medium firmness of the mattress will allow alleviating pressure from the back of these sleepers. However, back sleepers above 230 pounds will find the bed too soft, and their midsection will sink too deep into the mattress.
• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers put the majority of their weights on their hips and shoulders. Thus, pressure relief and body contouring are the two essential features they look for while buying a mattress. Light and average-weight side sleepers will find sleeping in the Studio pretty comfortable, as the memory foam layer would conform and provide sufficient cushion for the hips and shoulders. This will promote spine alignment and reduce pressure around the joints. Side sleepers above 230 pounds will sink into the mattress too deep and aggravate pressure points.
• Stomach sleepers: Stomach sleepers need a firm mattress that would enable them to keep their hips elevated to prevent sinkage. Light and average-weight stomach sleepers will find sufficient support along the midsections, but heavyweight stomach sleepers will need a firmer surface along their midsections to sleep comfortably.
• Heavy sleepers: Heavy sleepers need a firm mattress for restful sleep. Being an all-foam medium-firm mattress, the Leesa Studio is not suitable for heavyweight people over 230 pounds.

Cooling & Temperature Control

The most critical condition determining the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is a considerable decrease in the core body temperature. The Leesa Studio uses low-density memory foam, thus offering reasonable temperature regulation compared to other memory foam mattresses with high-density comfort layers. Most sleepers will experience less heat retention capability of the mattress while sleeping on it. People weighing up to 230 pounds will sleep cool as they won’t sink too much, but those weighing over 230 pounds will feel warm sleeping on the mattress as their sink will be too much to allow significant airflow through the mattress.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the mattress is felt elsewhere on the mattress or not. Mattress with good motion isolation will help to neutralize activity made on one side of the bed, thus assisting partners in sleeping peacefully.

The Leesa Studio performs decently in this area. Studio absorbs motion and does not let movements from transferring across the surface. Low-density foams in the comfort and transitional layer do not eliminate motion completely. Still, partners sharing their beds will experience minimal movement when they change positions or get in and out of bed.

Edge Support

Edge support defines the support that a mattress can offer around its edges. The edge support helps in stabilizing the perimeter of the mattress. It is an important consideration for couples sharing their bed with partners, as poor performance may disturb their partners while getting in and out of bed, and limit using the full bed for sleeping together and while having sex.

Studio by Leesa offers average edge support as it is an all-foam mattress. All-foam mattresses sink a bit along the perimeter as the foams cannot withstand compression as much as latex or steel coils. The medium-firm feel of the Studio offers enough support such that sleepers up to 230 pounds won’t sink much; thus, getting in and out of bed will be easy, and people in this weight group can also sit or sleep near the edges securely. However, those weighing above 230 pounds will sink deep into the mattress as it does not offer them the necessary edge support. If edge support is one of your primary concerns while purchasing a mattress, this might not be your best option.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Sleeping peacefully at night is as essential as eating good and nutritious food. Sleeping peacefully helps in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Each one of us sleeps differently, and our needs for comfort and support are also very different and unique. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, 1 out of 3 people has insomnia leading to different health problems.

Below is a detailed description of how Leesa Studio is a good fit for different sleep positions.

• Side Sleepers: Studio by Leesa is suitable for all sleeping positions but may work best for sleepers with petite to the average built structure.
• Back Sleepers: People who sleep on their back tend to require more support — particularly around the hips, which may sink into softer mattresses and prevent proper spinal alignment. Back sleepers also need less pressure relief, as the position causes fewer pressure points than other sleep styles. Back Sleepers of petite to average size built may feel comfortable and supported in the Studio by Leesa. However, sleepers with heavy built who tend to sleep on their back will have to look for better options.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stability and support are essential for stomach sleepers not to cause back or hip pain. The Leesa Studio mattress will work fine for the stomach sleepers but may not be the best option, especially for heavier people, as they may not find good spinal alignment and may sink too deep while sleeping.
• Combination Sleepers-Those who alternate between various positions: Combination sleepers tend to change positions while sleeping. Light and average-weight combination sleepers will feel well supported sleeping in the Studio. They will not sink too deep into the mattress; however, heavyweight combination sleepers will find it challenging to move around and sleep comfortably in the Studio.

Pros & Cons

• Are light and average weight
• Sleep in different positions
• Prefer a medium-firm feel
• Share their beds with partners

Not so ideal for sleepers, who

• Want love of memory foam feel
• Are heavyweight and sleep on their stomachs

Firmness

Firmness is very subjective. It defines how soft or hard a mattress can be. The same bed may be soft to some and firm to others. It depends not only on personal choice but also on body weight and body type. Whether a mattress is soft or firm, it should be such that it supports body weight, promote healthy spine alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping.

The Leesa Original is a medium-firm mattress with firmness between 5-7 on a firmness scale of 10. The firmness gives comfort and support and relieves pressure, thus reducing lower back pain. The mattress provides a conforming feel of memory foam and also a buoyant latex feel. The mattress, neither being too soft nor too firm, suits a variety of sleepers sleeping in different positions.

Material & Construction

The Leesa Original is a premium all-foam mattress with a soft gray twill fabric cover that is so beautiful that no extra sheets are required to put on the bed before sleeping. The comfort layer is made of breathable, responsive foam that keeps you cool throughout the night. Beneath the comfort layer is the memory foam recovery layer that provides pressure relief in the hips and shoulders, and the base is a support layer of polyurethane foam.

The different layers in the mattress are detailed below:

• Layer 1: The ^first layer is a 2-inch thick comfort layer made from Leesa’s exclusive and breathable polyurethane foam called LSA200. This responsive foam does not trap heat and provides sleepers the required hug and bounce they desire from a mattress.
• Layer 2: This layer is the transition layer comprised of 2 inches thick high-density memory foam that relieves pressure from the shoulders, hips, and back. This layer also aids in body contouring.
• Layer 3:  The bottom layer is 6 inches thick base layer made of polyurethane foam that lays the foundation of the mattress. This gives the mattress the desired support and contouring for the body.

Mattress Review and Rating

Repositioning

Repositioning describes the ability to change positions easily while sleeping. Though the Leesa is an all-foam mattress with a memory foam layer, it responds quickly to the evolving positions of the sleepers. Lightweight and average-weight sleepers will not experience being trapped in the mattress, thus allowing them to change positions during sleep easily. However, heavyweight people may find it difficult on the mattress while changing positions.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Buying a mattress is difficult as there is a wide variety available in the market. The right mattress will help you have a good night’s sleep and will also give you relief from aches and pains, especially when you wake up in the morning. So, pain relief is an important feature that most people look for while buying a mattress. Back pain can be relieved only when the spine is relaxed.

Even though Leesa contains memory foam, it does not feel like a memory foam mattress. Unlike memory foam, Leesa has a quick response and quickly recovers its shape when compressed. It scales in the medium range of the soft/ medium spectrum, making the mattress comfortable and highly accommodating. It does reasonably well in terms of pressure relief. If the sleeper is an average-sized individual, irrespective of his sleeping position, he will not face any difficulty and will find that the mattress offers excellent pressure relief, especially around the hips and shoulders. This mattress

is a nice option for those who like to turn and toss around in their sleep. Leesa is a foam mattress that provides comfort in all sleeping positions. It is ideal for side sleepers as it provides good pressure relief due to the responsive materials used in the make.

The suitability of the mattress for different sleeping positions is detailed below:

• Back sleepers: Back sleepers need support under their spine and neck to be able to sleep properly. The medium-firm level of the Leesa Original perfectly supports your back and helps to maintain your spine alignment for lightweight and average-weight sleepers. The Leesa Original being a firmer memory foam mattress, offers the right cushion needed along with solid support. Heavyweight back sleepers, though, may need to look for firmer options.
• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers put the majority of their weights on their hips and shoulders. Thus, pressure relief and body contouring are the two essential features that they look for while buying a mattress. The Leesa gives the right amount of cushion needed to cradle the body for lightweight and average-weight sleepers. However, all-foam construction of the mattress can lead to too much sinking for heavyweight sleepers.
• Stomach sleepers: Stomach sleepers need a firm mattress that would enable them to keep their hips elevated to prevent sinkage. Lightweight and average-weight stomach sleepers will get the necessary support to align the spine properly. The mattress conforms with body features, thus making sleepers feel supported and comfortable. Heavyweight stomach sleepers will need to look for firmer options from Leesa.
• Heavy sleepers: The Leesa Original gives good support to heavyweight sleepers. Sleepers weighing up to 230 pounds will get vital support sleeping on the Leesa Original, but people weighing over 300 pounds will need a firmer mattress for better support.

Cooling & Temperature Control

The most critical condition determining the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is a considerable decrease in the core body temperature. Leesa is like any other mattress in the market when it comes to temperature control. It does an excellent job of keeping the heat away, and like all mattresses in the market, lighter people may find the mattress cool, whereas the people on the heavier side may feel that the heat is trapped. However, if overheating is something the sleeper faces in a mattress, then they may want to look at other options.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the mattress is felt elsewhere on the mattress or not. Mattress with good motion isolation will help to neutralize activity made on one side of the bed, thus assisting partners in sleeping peacefully.

Leesa provides excellent motion isolation. It is mainly because of the combined work of the comfort layer and transition layer to nullify any cross-mattress motion. Hence, Leesa would be a perfect choice for sleepers who are sensitive to their partner’s movements in bed.

Edge Support

Edge support defines the support that a mattress can offer around its edges. The edge support helps in stabilizing the perimeter of the mattress. It is an important consideration for couples sharing their bed with partners, as poor performance may disturb their partners while getting in and out of bed, and limit using the full bed for sleeping together and while having sex.

If edge support is one of the key factors that the sleeper is looking for in a mattress, then Leesa is not for you. Like all memory foam mattresses, Leesa provides average edge support. When sitting or lying on the edges, it will sink thus, the mattress’s entire surface cannot be utilized.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Sleeping peacefully at night is as essential as eating good and nutritious food. Sleeping peacefully helps in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Each one of us sleeps differently, and our needs for comfort and support are also very different and unique. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, 1 out of 3 people has insomnia leading to different health problems.

Below is a detailed description of how Leesa Original is a good fit for different sleep positions.

• Side Sleepers: The Leesa mattress provides decent pressure relief and support for side sleepers with average build and body type. Sleepers with a light or heavy build may face some discomfort in this position.
• Back Sleepers: People who sleep on their back tend to require more support — particularly around the hips, which may sink into softer mattresses and prevent proper spinal alignment. Leesa will provide the sleepers the necessary back support and alignment without letting the body sink too deep into the mattress.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stability and support are essential for “stomach sleepers” not to cause back or hip pain. The Leesa mattress will work fine for the stomach sleepers but may not be the best option, especially for heavier people who may not find good spinal alignment and may sink too deep while sleeping.
• Combination Sleepers-Those who alternate between various positions: Combination sleepers have a tendency to change positions while sleeping. The Leesa is a good choice for lightweight and average-weight combination sleepers. The top layer responds to movements quickly while the memory foam prevents motion transfer, thus making sleep enjoyable for combination sleepers.

Product Description

Leesa Hybrid consists of an 11-inch premium foam wrapped by a layer of pocket springs providing more support and relieving pressure points. The premium foam is perforated to prevent heat-trapping, and the coils offer strong edge support. This mattress can accomodate

Firmness

Firmness describes how soft or hard a bed can feel. It is a subjective matter. To some, a particular bed may feel soft, while to others, it may feel firm. Whether a mattress feels firm or soft, it should support body weight, promote healthy spinal alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping.

The Leesa Hybrid, like the Leesa Original is a medium-firm mattress with firmness in the range of 5-7 on the firmness scale of 10. The mattress is well suited for sleeping in all positions from side to back and on the stomach as well. It is designed to provide comfort and support and is also known to relieve pressure from the hips and shoulders and prevent lower back pain upon waking up in the morning.

Material & Construction

The Leesa Hybrid is a hybrid memory foam mattress that is constructed using premium foam with pocket springs that provide ultimate comfort and support. A top layer of hole-punched foam and memory foam helps sleep cool and provides pressure relief. The cover is a seamless white and grey hybrid cover that looks extremely beautiful and is highly breathable.

The different layers in the mattress are detailed below:

• Layer 1: The top comfort layer is a 1.5 inches hole punched, aerated premium foam that provides high airflow making it more breathable and heat resistant.
• Layer 2: The 1.5 inches of high-density memory foam provides contouring and pressure relief to the sleeper, irrespective of the sleeping position.
• Layer 3: A 1-inch-thick layer of support foam encloses the following layer.
• Layer 4: Next is a 6 inches thick layer of 1000+ active response pocket springs encased on the top and bottom by a slim layer of high-density foam, which keeps the coils in place. This layer sets the base and foundation of the mattress. The coils provide independent response and support for the spine without aggravating pressure points.
• Layer 5: Another 1-inch-thick layer of support foam that sets the mattress’s foundation and provides the base for Layer 4.

Mattress Review and Rating

Repositioning

Repositioning describes the ability to change positions easily while sleeping. The Leesa Hybrid has a responsive surface that enables quick adaptation to movements. Minimum motion transfer, in addition, helps in easy movement, thus allowing sharing bed with partners without disruption.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Buying a mattress is difficult as numerous variety is available in the market. The right mattress will help you have a good night’s sleep and give you relief from pain, upon wake up in the morning. So, pain relief is an important feature that most people look for while buying a mattress. Back pain can be relieved only when the spine is relaxed.

Leesa Hybrid has excellent responsiveness and, like Leesa Original, recovers its shape quickly when compressed. It does not provide great cushioning; thus, it is not ideal for sleepers who like to sleep deep into their mattress; rather, it will be great for those who want the feeling of sleeping on top of the mattress. The presence of polyfoam with pocketed coils, enables the Leesa Hybrid to quickly respond to any pressure

and may provide decent pressure relief for average built to heavier built sleepers. However, people with lighter body types may find some pressure discomfort. In   contrast to Leesa Original, the Leesa Hybrid provides excellent airflow and temperature regulation due to the pocketed coils that promote greater airflow compared to the memory foam mattresses.

The suitability of the mattress for different sleeping positions is detailed below:

• Back sleepers: Back sleepers need support under their spine and neck to sleep properly. Sleeping on the Leesa Hybrid will be enjoyed by most back sleepers. Contouring is offered by the memory foam layer, while the innerspring coil system supports much-needed areas. The mattress will provide the required cushion to lightweight, average-weight, and heavyweight back sleepers.
• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers put the majority of their weights on their hips and shoulders. Thus, pressure relief and body contouring are the two important features that they look for while buying a mattress. The Leesa Hybrid, a medium foam mattress, relieves pressure, thus reducing soreness. Sleeping is enjoyed by almost all average-weight and heavyweight side sleepers, but lightweight might feel some discomfort as they will not sink too deep into the mattress.
• Stomach sleepers: Stomach sleepers need a firm mattress that would enable them to keep their hips elevated to prevent sinkage. With a combination of soft foam and supportive coils, the Leesa Hybrid is well suited to lightweight and average-weight stomach sleepers. In contrast, heavyweight sleepers will experience too much hip sinking, leading to lower back pain.
• Heavy sleepers: The Leesa Hybrid is perfect for heavy sleepers less than 300 pounds. People in this weight group will get necessary pressure relief and comfort. However, people weighing over 300 pounds will need a more supportive mattress to keep their hips and shoulders well supported and kept elevated.

Cooling & Temperature Control

The most critical condition that determines the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is a considerable decrease in the core body temperature. The Leesa Hybrid is a very cool mattress. The top perforated aerated layer allows maximum air to flow by drawing away excess heat from the body and keeping the sleepers cool and dry. Though the memory foam layer is known to make the mattress hot, the innerspring coil layer balances the build-up of heat to promote greater airflow throughout the mattress.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the mattress is felt elsewhere on the mattress or not. Mattress with good motion isolation will help to neutralize activity made on one side of the bed, thus helping partners sleep peacefully.

Innerspring mattresses do not offer sound motion isolation, but the Leesa Hybrid performs decently in this area. The pocketed coils help the springs move independently of each other. The use of memory foam on top of these coils suppresses any motion or movements. The mattress stands out exceptionally well for couples.

Edge Support

Edge support is the amount of support that a mattress can offer around its edges. The edge support helps in stabilizing the perimeter of the mattress. It is an important consideration for couples sharing their bed with partners, as poor performance may disturb their partners while getting in and out of bed and limit using the full bed for sleeping together and while having sex.

Unlike Original Leesa, the Leesa Hybrid offers great edge support because of the presence of two rows of firmer coils around the perimeter of pocketed coil unit of the mattress. These materials provide support across the entire mattress; thus, lying or sitting at the edges is supportive enough. Leesa Hybrid is one of the best mattresses out there in terms of edge support. The Leesa is a very quiet mattress, thus good for couples. Additionally, the mattress being bouncy is great for sex. The sturdy edges also make the mattress very durable.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Sleeping well at night is as essential as eating good and nutritious food. Sleeping peacefully helps in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Each one of us sleeps differently, and our needs for comfort and support are also very different and unique. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, 1 out of 3 people has insomnia, leading to different health problems.

Below is a detailed description of how Leesa Hybrid is a good fit for different sleep positions.

• Side Sleepers: Compared to the Original Leesa Mattress, the Hybrid provides more support and firmness to the sleepers due to the addition of pocketed coils. However, people with a light body may not feel their hips or shoulders sinking into the mattress and may experience discomfort.
• Back Sleepers: Leesa Hybrid is a decent choice for back sleepers, especially those with average to heavy built. The mattress does not let the body sink too deep, thus not putting any pressure on the back and providing a good spine alignment.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stability and support are essential for “stomach sleepers” so that they do not suffer from back or hip pain. Leesa Hybrid will be a decent choice for stomach sleepers, being rated medium to medium-firm on the firmness scale.
• Combination Sleepers-Those who alternate between various positions: Combination sleepers have a tendency to change positions while sleeping, and they have a bed that allows them to change positions with ease. The Leesa Hybrid is a mattress made to suit different sleeping positions, thus making it a good choice for combination sleepers.

• Prefer a medium-firm feel
• Share their beds with partners

Not so ideal for sleepers, who

• Want to sleep on a very soft or extra-firm mattress
• Are heavyweight and sleep strictly on their stomachs

Are on a tight budget

Firmness

Firmness is very subjective. It defines how soft or hard a mattress can be. The same bed may be soft to some and firm to others. It depends not only on personal choice but also on body weight and body type. Whether a mattress is soft or firm, it should be such that it supports body weight, promote healthy spine alignment, and ensure comfortable and restful sleeping.

The Leesa Legend is a soft, medium-firm mattress with firmness in the range 5-7, on a firmness scale of 10. The mattress is designed for support and comfort and is well suited to all sleeping positions. The firmness of the mattress helps to relieve pressure and reduces back pain. The firmness is such that it gives a balanced feeling of cushion comfort and support.

Material & Construction

The Leesa Legend creates an ingenious design and makes it very different from other hybrid mattresses in the market. The luxurious Leesa Legend comes with an ultra-soft beautiful hypoallergenic cover made of 100% organic cotton, Merino wool, and fibers made from recycled water bottles. The cover can stretch and features breathability. Recycled bottles make the mattress environment friendly and are a favorite among eco-conscious customers. The mattress is a multi-layer system that comprises both coils and foams.

The different layers in the mattress are detailed below:

• Layer 1: The top comfort layer is a 1-inch hole punched foam that offers a subtle bounce and responsive hug to the body, additionally keeping the mattress cool.
• Layer 2: Next to the top comfort layer is the 1.5-inch high-density memory foam that contours and gives pressure relief to the sleeper, irrespective of the sleeping position.
• Layer 3: The third layer is a 5-inch-thick layer of foam and micro-coils. These micro-coils are not spread throughout the mattress; instead, the denser foam is present in the center of the mattress, while the 800+ micro-coils are present at the top and bottom of the layer. This is Leesa’s take on an inch zoned-support design, which helps relieve pressure from the shoulders and aligns the hips and shoulders.
• Layer 4: Beneath the foam and coil layer is a 1-inch-thick layer of support foam that encloses the following layer.
• Layer 5: This is a 6-inch-thick layer of 1000+ active response pocket springs that are encased on the top and bottom by a slim layer of high-density foam, which keeps the coils in place. This layer sets the base and foundation of the mattress. The coils provide independent response and support for the spine without aggravating pressure points.
• Layer 6: The bottom layer is made of another 1-inch-thick layer of support foam that sets the mattress’s foundation and provides a base for Layer 4.

Mattress Review and Rating

Repositioning

Repositioning describes the ability to change positions easily while sleeping. The Leesa Legend is a responsive mattress that adapts very fast to the changes in position on the surface of the mattress. The medium-firm feel and the decent hug help sleepers move around the mattress easily. Combination sleepers who frequently change positions will not feel trapped in the mattress. The bounce of Leesa Legends aids in sexual activity, and the top soft layers allow lying at any position comfortable.

Comfort, Back Support, Pressure Relief

Buying a mattress is difficult as there is a wide variety available in the market. The right mattress will help you have a good night’s sleep and will also give you relief from aches and pains, especially when you wake up in the morning. So, pain relief is an important feature that most people look for while buying a mattress. Back pain can be relieved only when the spine is relaxed. The

Leesa Legend is an innerspring mattress but offers all the advantages of a foam mattress. It is incredibly supportive, soft, has a bit of bounce, and is one of the most comfortable mattresses in the Leesa lineup. Foam and micro-coils in the third layer aim to target body areas as per their pressure-relieving requirement. The micro-coils are not spread throughout the mattress; instead, the denser foam is present in the center of the mattress, while the 800+ micro coils are present at the top and the bottom of the layer. This is done to simultaneously provide both support to the hips and lower back and provide pressure relief to the shoulders. Like all the mattresses in Leesa’s chain, the Legend is also a temperature-neutral mattress and does not allow the sleeper to feel particularly hot or cold.

The suitability of the mattress for different sleeping positions is detailed below:

• Back sleepers: Back sleepers need support under their spine and neck to sleep properly. The Leesa Legend can be a perfect choice for light and average weight back sleepers as the top layer assists in cradling the heavier parts of the body, and the firm center provides lumbar support and keeps the hips elevated, thus aligned with the spine.
• Side Sleepers: Side sleepers put the majority of their weights on their hips and shoulders. Thus, pressure relief and body contouring are the two essential features that they look for while buying a mattress. The Leesa Legend is an excellent choice for side sleepers as the hips and shoulders are allowed to sink into the mattress without jamming against the base layers. The zoned transition layers offer targeted support to different parts of the body. The compressed micro-coils under the head and foot and the firm foam center help the sleepers’ spine maintain proper alignment.
• Stomach sleepers: Stomach sleepers need a firm mattress that would enable them to keep their hips elevated to prevent sinkage. The Leesa Legend is not ideal for stomach sleepers. Average-weight and heavyweight stomach sleepers will experience sinking of their lower back into the soft layers of foam. Lightweight sleepers may get some support while sleeping on their stomach and avoid back pain.
• Heavy sleepers: Heavy sleepers need a firm mattress for restful sleep. Being a medium-firm mattress, the Leesa Legend is not recommended for sleepers over 250 pounds. However, sleepers below 250 pounds will get the necessary support lying on the Leesa Legend.

Cooling & Temperature Control

The most critical condition determining the quality and duration of the body’s recovery during sleep is a considerable decrease in the core body temperature. The Leesa Legend does not retain heat. The layer closest to the body has punched holes that allow air to flow through the mattress freely. Though the memory foam captures a certain amount of heat, the micro-coils and pocketed coils help ventilation, thus cooling the mattress. Overheating is further prevented by the responsive coils, which do not allow the sleepers to feel trapped in the mattress.

Motion Isolation and Sharing a Bed

Motion isolation describes if movement made across one side of the mattress is felt elsewhere on the mattress or not. Mattress with good motion isolation will help to neutralize activity made on one side of the bed, thus assisting partners in sleeping peacefully.

Innerspring mattresses do not offer good motion isolation. But the Leesa Legend fairs decently in this category because of the pocketed coils that help the springs move independently of each other. The use of memory foam on top of these coils suppresses any motion or movements. The hypoallergenic, breathable cover helps maintain a soothing, comfortable temperature irrespective of the season. Merino wool used in the cover prevents bacteria, mold, and mildew and also wicks away heat, thus aiding in temperature regulation.

Edge Support

Edge support defines the support that a mattress can offer around its edges. The edge support helps in stabilizing the perimeter of the mattress. It is an essential consideration for couples sharing their bed with partners, as poor performance may disturb their partners while getting in and out of bed, and limit using the full bed for sleeping together and while having sex.

Edge support is an important consideration for couples, as poor performance here limits both sleeping and sex. Leesa Legend performs fairly in this category but may not be at par with Leesa Hybrid. Sitting or lying near the edge may lead to some compression, but different layers of coils used in the making of the mattress help to maintain the shape and stability.

Recommendation based on sleeping style

Sleeping peacefully at night is as essential as eating good and nutritious food. Sleeping peacefully helps in maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Each one of us sleeps differently, and our needs for comfort and support are also very different and unique. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, 1 out of 3 people suffers from insomnia leading to different health problems.

Below is a detailed description of how Leesa Legend is a good fit for different sleep positions.

• Side Sleepers: The Leesa Legend is best for side sleepers. If the sleeper moves around a lot in their sleep, Leesa Legend will also offer support to the sleeper.
• Back Sleepers: People preferring to sleep on their back need enhanced support, particularly around the hips, which may sink into softer mattresses and prevent proper spinal alignment. Back sleepers also need less pressure relief, as the position causes fewer pressure points than other sleeping styles. Back sleepers of petite to average size built may feel comfortable and supported by the Leesa Legend. However, sleepers with heavy built who tend to sleep on their back can opt for other options available in the market.
• Stomach Sleepers: Stability and support are crucial for stomach sleepers so that there is no back or hip pain. The Leesa Legend mattress will work fine for the stomach sleepers but may not be the best option, especially for heavier people who may not get proper spine alignment and may sink too deep while sleeping.
• Combination Sleepers-Those who alternate between various positions: Combination sleepers tend to change positions while sleeping. The responsive Leesa Legend makes it a good choice for lightweight, average-weight, and heavyweight combination sleepers, who would need a mattress that does not allow them to feel stuck into the mattress.
