Leesa launched in 2015 to a crowded direct-to-consumer mattress industry and we've been covering it since 2016, Leesa currently sells 12 mattresses, from budget all-foam models to luxury hybrids with cooling innovations.
As product testers who've tested over 100 mattresses from traditional and online brands, we've developed several tests to objectively assess and rank mattresses on their motion isolation, comfort, breathability, edge support, and more. One brand consistently comes out at or near the top of our tests: Leesa. The brand's mattresses are some of our favorites, earning a spot in many of our mattress-buying guides, including being crowned best mattress overall.

Delivery and set up
Leesa mattresses ship free via FedEx to all 50 states and arrive within three to seven days. Leesa also ships to Canada, but a customs tax and shipping fee does apply. The mattresses arrive compressed in a box for easier handling. If you don't want to set up the mattress yourself, Leesa offers in-home set up for $199 through their delivery partner Ryder who will also haul away old your old mattress and packaging. They will contact you to organize a convenient delivery window and the estimated delivery time is seven to 14 days.
Trial and warranty policies
Leesa has competitive trial and warranty policies so you get peace of mind with your new mattress. Every mattress comes with a 100-night trial. If you sleep on the mattress for at least 30 nights and decide it's not for you, you're able to return it up to 100 nights from the initial purchase date. Leesa will arrange to have your mattress picked up. There's no return fee for purchasers in the continental United States, but you will have to pay a $100 fee if you live in Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada. All mattresses must be in good condition to be returned.
Leesa upgraded its warranty policies in early 2025. All mattresses bought after February 1st, 2025 are covered by a limited lifetime warranty. This warranty covers manufacturing defects and physical flaws in your mattress after normal use. For a warranty to be valid, Leesa requires the use of a bed frame, which is standard when compared to other mattress warranty policies. Unlike other companies, though, the mattress must be placed on a base with slats less than 5.5 inches apart. If your base has slats greater than 5.5 inches, your warranty is void.
The first 10 years of the warranty have non-prorated coverage, meaning that Leesa will replace or repair your mattress at no cost in the event of manufacturing defects or flaws. After the 10 year mark, you move into prorated coverage. You'll pay a percentage of the current retail price to have your mattress replaced. The percentage differs based on the amount of time you've owned the mattress, but you can expect to pay between 50% and 75% MSRP to have your mattress replaced.
Leesa Sapira Hybrid
The Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress provides great edge support and motion isolation. Its mix of memory foam and pocket springs produces an average firmness, making it an outstanding solution for back pain sufferers of any sleeping style. Save an extra $25 with our exclusive promo code INSIDER25.
- Foam and pocket springs offer breathability and support
- Ideal motion isolation and edge support for couples
- Medium firmness will benefit all sleeping styles
- Heavy and difficult to maneuver
The Leesa Sapira Hybrid mattress is the best mattress we've tested. It balances firm support with cloud-like softness and minimal motion transfer.
It combines several types of foam with spring coils for comfort and breathability. Setup takes around 15 minutes, but it requires a few hours for the mattress to expand fully, so be sure to time it correctly if you want to take an afternoon nap.
To test motion transfer, our reviewer dropped a 15-pound bowling ball about three feet above the bed to see if a can of soda would move — it never even shifted. Our tester also noted that the mattress didn't trap body heat, so it's ideal for hot and light sleepers.

Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid
The Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress provides great edge support and motion isolation. Its mix of memory foam and pocket springs produces an average firmness, making it an outstanding solution for back pain sufferers of any sleeping style. Take $25 off when you use promo code INSIDER25.
Leesa's "Chill" versions of its Studio, Oasis, Sapira, and Legend mattresses. feature a cooling cover designed to "help maintain the ideal skin temperature of 88 degrees." We tend to take marketing jargon with a big grain of salt, so we were surprised when, after seven tests, the Leesa Sapira Chill Hybrid Mattress averaged 87.3 degrees Fahrenheit right after our review got up from it in the morning. Impressive.
Unlike the medium-firm Sapira Hybrid, the Sapira Chill Hybrid is available in three firmness options: plush, medium-firm, and firm. Our reviewer tested the plush, ideal for his side sleeping, but he sunk in too much. While the edge support and motion isolation were good, it wasn't at the level of the Sapira Hybrid. Still, this is an excellent option if you sleep hot and want other firmness options beyond medium-firm. Otherwise, stick with the Sapira Hybrid.
Leesa Original
Though people who sleep in various positions have positive things to say about it, the Leesa Mattress provides an exceptional balance of comfort and support for stomach sleepers. Take $25 off when you use promo code INSIDER25.
- Excellent support for side sleepers
- Pressure relief for aches and pains`
- Great trial period and warranty
- Sleeps hot
The Leesa Original Mattress did an outstanding job supporting our reviewer's shoulders and hips. Its medium-firm feel is ideal for side sleepers, but may be too plush for stomach and back sleepers. We especially liked the foam's responsiveness to movement, providing pressure relief when shifting to various positions throughout the night.
The mattress has three layers — a breathable top layer, a memory foam middle that contours around your body, and a supportive bottom layer. These add up to a 10-inch mattress that offers relief and support for side sleepers.

Leesa Oasis Chill Hybrid
A member of the Leesa cooling mattress lineup, the Oasis Chill Hybrid offers superior temperature regulation and plush contouring for an all-around comfortable sleeping experience. Take $25 off when you use promo code INSIDER25.
- Excellent temperature regulation and dissipation
- Plush, bouncy comfort
- Easy set-up with minimal odor
- Lackluster edge support
- Less-than-stellar motion isolation
Like the Leesa Sapira Chill, the Leesa Oasis Chill Hybrid is designed with a cool cover to keep even the hottest sleepers comfortable. It has one less layer than the Leesa Sapira Chill and will cost you about $585 less.
The Oasis Chill Hybrid boasts a "huggable feel," specifically designed to cradle pressure points for an easy sleep. It comes in two firmnesses: Plush and cushion-firm. We recommend cushion-firm for all sleep types, but plush is definitely best for side sleepers only. Our tester found that, despite the name, the cushion-firm was still incredibly soft. Her spine also wasn't aligned while sleeping on this mattress, so it might not be a good pick for people with back pain.
The Oasis Chill excelled in our heat dissipation tests. It measured at 70 degrees before bed, 80 degrees immediately after waking up, and 70 degrees after two minutes. These are some of the best numbers we've seen for cooling, with low temperatures in all the tests and a great 10 degree heat dissipation after two minutes.
If you're looking for a cooling mattress that's a little cheaper than the Sapira Chill, go for the Oasis Chill. Just keep in mind that it has a soft feel that isn't suited for people with back pain.

Leesa Legend
This luxury hybrid mattress has two layers of springs: pocket springs for edge-to-edge support and micro coils for targeted support around the hips and shoulders. The topmost layer of foam offers medium-firm comfort and bounce. Take $25 off when you use promo code INSIDER25.
- Incredibly comfortable for side sleepers
- Outstanding heat dissipation
- Good balance of motion isolation and bounce
- Made with CertiPUR-US-certified foams
- Poor edge support
- May not be supportive enough for stomach sleepers
The Legend Hybrid is Leesa's most premium mattress. It's comprised of two layers of pocket springs and four layers of foam. From top to bottom, the layers include a breathable comfort foam, memory foam for pressure relief, a zoned support layer of foam and micro-springs, a supportive transitional foam layer, and a base of larger pocket springs for durability and motion isolation.
In our tests, the motion isolation was average, and the edge support needed improvement, suggesting this may not be the ideal mattress for couples. However, it did dissipate heat well. The Leesa Legend is softer, so stomach and back sleepers may find it unsupportive. Yet, side sleepers are sure to love it.
Business Insider Reviews' sleep reporter James Brains said he slept great during his 22 nights of testing the Leesa Legend. He felt refreshed and didn't experience his usual aches and pains. Specifically, he noted the mattress cradled his body as he slept on his side. It breathed well, keeping him from overheating. It's an excellent choice for hot sleepers.

Leesa Studio
The Leesa Studio has three foam layers: a top layer of breathable memory foam, a middle layer of pressure-relieving foam, and a core layer for support and durability. It's solid for side sleepers at an attractive price.
If you're looking for the best balance of value, comfort, and support, Leesa's Studio mattress might be your best option. The three layers of foam provided solid motion isolation and pressure relief, especially for our side-sleeping tester.
The Studio is a medium-firm mattress, but the edge support left much to be desired — the foam sagged significantly. Solo sleepers might not mind since they're not sharing a bed, but couples might want to get a large bed like a King to avoid falling off at night.
The mattress is significantly less expensive than other Leesa mattresses, and our tester didn't think there was any compromise regarding support or comfort. The Studio would be a great mattress for anyone on a budget, moving into their first apartment, or needing to furnish a guest room.

Where are Leesa mattresses made?
Leesa mattresses are made in the United States. Leesa is owned by 3Z Brands, based in Arizona.
Are Leesa mattresses worth it?
In our opinion, yes. It's no small feat that, after testing hundreds of beds, the Leesa Sapira is our best overall pick in our best mattress guide. We've loved the other mattresses we've tested, too. Plus, with a 100-night trial and limited lifetime warranty, they're well worth the cost.
How does Leesa compare to other brands?
The direct-to-consumer online mattress space is more crowded than you'd expect. Leesa continues to stay ahead of the competition with new releases, including new cooling and eco-friendly mattresses. We like that Leesa designs and assembles its mattresses in the United States. It also aims to have a positive social impact, including donating mattresses to charities.
The closest competition is Casper, which offers virtually identical home trials, warranties, and pricing. Casper's Snow line of cooling mattresses is like Leesa's Chill beds. Check out our Casper mattress review for details about all their models.
Here's how Leesa ranks among the best online mattress companies and our comparison of the Leesa Sapira vs. Casper Hybrid.
