Leesa makes approachable, mid-priced foam mattresses with an emphasis on materials, and the model on findmattress.com is the Leesa Original. It's 10 inches of foam: a knit cover over 2 inches of plant-based GreenFlex foam, 2 inches of memory foam and 6 inches of support foam. It's CertiPUR-US and GREENGUARD Gold certified, fiberglass-free and made in Arizona. An optional cooling quilt top is available.
Leesa calls it medium, and independent testers place it around 5 to 7 out of 10, which we record as 6. That puts it in the sweet spot for side and combination sleepers: soft enough to cushion shoulders and hips, supportive enough for average-weight back sleepers. In our review-based ratings it earns a 5 out of 5 for motion isolation and 4 out of 5 for cooling and pressure relief. The trade-offs are average edge support and very little bounce, typical of all-foam beds.
Value and policies are strong. Expect about $967 for a queen at list price, often around $769 on sale, with a 365-night trial and a limited lifetime warranty. That's a longer trial than Casper, Purple or Tuft & Needle offer at similar prices.
Who should shop Leesa? Side and combination sleepers, couples who want a still bed, and shoppers who like the idea of plant-based foam. Who should skip it? Strict stomach sleepers and heavier back sleepers who need a firmer, more supportive surface, and anyone who wants coil bounce.

Questions about Leesa
Is the Leesa Original good for side sleepers?
On paper, yes. It's a medium foam mattress with 4 inches of comfort foam on top, rated about 6 out of 10 for firmness, and it scores 4 out of 5 for pressure relief in our review-based ratings. That's a good fit for most side sleepers of average weight. Heavier side sleepers may want a hybrid with coil support.
How firm is the Leesa Original?
Leesa labels it medium. Independent testers place it between 5 and 7 out of 10, and one noted it felt toward the firmer end of that range. For most people, that means a balanced feel that works for side, back and combination sleeping, but it's likely too soft for heavier stomach sleepers.
What is Leesa's trial and warranty?
The Leesa Original currently comes with a 365-night trial and a limited lifetime warranty, according to Leesa's site. Older reviews may mention a 100-night trial, so check the current terms when you buy. A full year is plenty of time to judge whether a mattress suits you through seasons.
