Listen to our Podcast: Leesa Original Mattress Review

The Leesa Original mattress is simplicity at its finest. The 10 inch all-foam mattress delivers a relaxed-firmness level that caters to a variety of sleepers. The 4 layers consist of a cover, memory foam, responsive foam, and aerated foam.

The comfort layer is an aerated foam that helps the sleeper stay cool. The memory foam recovery layer contours to the body for pressure relief. The stability layer is a high density foam base that provides support and durability. The cover wraps all this foam in a breathable cover that helps you regulate your temperature.

This firmness level provides a bit of sinkage which is enough to cradle the body, but not enough to make a person feel stuck. The relaxed-firmness level is rated 6 out of 10. This accommodates most body types and sleeping positions. The price starts at $879 which is on the more affordable side compared to other luxury foam mattresses.
