Product Overview
The Leesa Original is marketed as a medium-firm mattress, but third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us) shows it falls into the firm category. This mattress also has very good edge support and very good motion isolation, meaning you can sit or sleep near the edge comfortably without feeling like you might roll off, and partner movements are less likely to disturb your rest. All in all, Leesa could be a good fit for back and stomach sleepers, and partners sharing a bed.
The Leesa Original foam mattress comes with a 100-night sleep trial, a 10-year warranty, and two cover options: the standard breathable cover or an upgraded cooling one for an extra $175. We tested the version with the cooling gel cover. This version costs $1,869 CAD for a queen size and includes a cooling gel foam layer. While these mattresses used to ship for free to Canadians, Leesa now charges a $625 flat rate to all locations in Canada. Keep in mind that prices are also listed in USD on their website, and customs charges might apply to your order.
If you’re looking for a Canadian-made mattress with a medium-firm feel and flexible policies, you might like the Douglas Original mattress. Douglas has very good edge support and motion isolation, multiple cooling features, and comes with a 365-night sleep trial and a longer 20-year warranty. You can return the mattress for a full refund if you don’t love it. Plus, it costs less than Leesa at $799 for a queen size, and ships to most Canadians for free and with no extra fees.

Leesa Mattress Construction
Mattress Layers
Leesa Original contains 3 layers of foam and measures 10" tall. All foam used in the mattress is CertiPUR-US® certified, meaning it's made without harmful chemicals.
- 1st Layer: 2" of gel-infused memory foam that's meant to provide cushioning while helping with temperature regulation.
- 2nd Layer: 2″ layer of breathable foam that's designed for body contouring and comfort. It adds a slight bounce while helping the mattress stay cool.
- 3rd Layer: 6″ support foam that provides stability. This layer allows the mattress to maintain its structure and provide support.
Mattress Cover
The Leesa mattress features a modern and simple white-on-grey cover made from a soft blend of polyester and Lycra. While the cover has a zipper, the top side is not machine washable. The cover should not be removed and is for spot cleaning only.
Mattress Testing
To ensure our mattress reviews are thorough and trustworthy, we buy the products ourselves and have them tested by independent licensed engineers (commissioned by us) with no stake in the results.
These third-party engineers apply a consistent testing process to every mattress using a detailed framework. Every mattress is tested the same way, whether it's foam or hybrid. Because these types perform differently, we rate them on separate scales to ensure the scores are fair and meaningful.
We believe independent testing is essential to producing reliable and meaningful comparisons. That's why all test results are reviewed and signed off by an APEGA-certified engineer, operating under a strict code of ethics.
We use the testing results and over 40 criteria to build our scoring methodology.
Tests and reviews without this level of professional oversight may be more prone to errors and unintended bias.

Delivery & Other Policies
Leesa ships mattresses to your door through FedEx. At the time this article was written, Canadian orders include a $625 shipping fee plus any applicable customs charges, with delivery typically taking 5–14 business days. The mattress arrives rolled in a box and expands to its full 10″ height within a few hours, though it may take a few days to settle into its intended firmness.
You'll have a 100-night sleep trial to get to know your Leesa, with returns accepted after 30 days. Canadian customers are charged a $100 return fee, and refunds are issued in full. The Leesa Original also comes with a 10-year limited warranty against defects in materials or workmanship. Be sure to check for any shipping damage right away, as this isn't covered under the warranty.
In comparison, Douglas Original offers a 365-night trial and a 20-year warranty. If you decide to return the mattress during your sleep trial, Douglas will arrange a free pickup and a full refund.

All the content on our site, from product reviews to comparisons, is intended to provide general information to help guide your mattress search. We work with independent third-party engineers to test all mattress products we purchase, and we use the test results alongside public data to inform our reviews and comparisons.
The product details in each review reflect how the mattress performed at the time we purchased and tested it, as shown by the "Published" date.
Since brands can update their materials, pricing, or availability over time, we also note when the product was originally purchased, either directly in the article or on our disclaimer page, to maintain clarity and transparency.
If you see an "Updated" tag on a page with a more recent date than the published date, it simply means we've made editorial changes. It does not necessarily indicate any update to the mattress or its test data.
Finally, unless otherwise stated, any mention of where a mattress is made refers specifically to the product we received and tested.
