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

/10

Made in

Firmness

In third-party engineer testing that we commissioned, Leesa Original scored 7.0/10 for firmness. This places it in the firm category on the mattress firmness scale. If you sleep on your side, you might notice pressure on your shoulder and hip. Back and stomach sleepers, on the other hand, will likely find this level of firmness supportive.

If you want a mattress that works for all sleep styles, you might want to take a look at the Douglas Original. It has a medium-firm feel and earned a firmness score of 6.7/10, making it suitable for a range of sleeping positions.

Our Rating
?

Determined by how much the mattress sinks under applied weight. The lower the score out of 10, the softer the mattress.

7.0

/10

Edge Support

Leesa Original scored 7.0/10 for edge support, which is a very good score for a foam mattress. You can sit or sleep near the edge without feeling like you'll slide off, which can be helpful for those who share a bed or use the full surface.

If you want a mattress with even more edge support, you might like the Douglas, which earned an edge support score of 7.8/10.

Our Rating
?

Determined by how much the mattress edge sinks under applied weight. A mattress with average to good edge support will score 5/10 or higher.

7.0

/10

Cooling Features

Leesa Original has a cooling feature score of 2.4/10. This score is calculated based on features like Leesa's:

  1. Breathable knit cover, which promotes air circulation and heat transfer
  2. Cooling gel infusion in the comfort layer for enhanced heat dissipation

If cooling is a priority for you and you don't want to spend a lot, the Douglas offers a more affordable option. Douglas comes with a moisture-wicking top cover and ecoLight® cooling gel foam that allows better airflow than traditional memory foam. A queen sells for $799, compared to $1,869 for the Leesa Original.

Our Rating
?

Determined by entering a mattress's cooling features into our scoring algorithm. The more effective cooling features that are present, the higher the score out of 10.

2.4

/10

Motion Isolation

Leesa Original scored 7.2/10 for motion isolation. This is a very good score for a foam mattress. You might feel larger movements from a partner, but smaller movements shouldn't be noticed.

For better motion isolation, consider the Douglas which earned a motion isolation score of 7.2/10. This helps light sleepers, or partners who share a bed, get more undisturbed sleep.

Our Rating
?

Determined by measuring a medicine ball's impact on the mattress. Average to good motion isolation would be 5/10 or higher.

7.2

/10

Bounce

In third-party engineer testing that we commissioned, Leesa Original scored 3.0/10 for bounce. Bounce is all about how quickly the mattress returns into shape after you apply pressure to it. If a mattress has a lot of bounce, it's easier to switch positions. On the other hand, less bounce can help keep movements from disturbing your partner.

Our Rating
?

Determined by dropping a medicine ball onto the mattress. The higher the first bounce, the higher the score out of 10.

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.

Should You Buy Leesa?

Leesa Original

Queen $1,869

4.7/10

The Leesa Original could be a fit if you're looking for a foam mattress with firm support, strong edge performance, and good motion isolation. Canadian shoppers should know that shipping adds more than $600 to the cost, and the mattress only comes with a 100-year limited warranty. You might like Leesa if you want:

  • A medium-firm foam mattress for under $2,000 for a queen-size
  • Strong edge support and above-average motion isolation
  • The option to upgrade to a plush cooling cover

That said, if you're looking for a mattress with a longer warranty and more time to try it out, the Douglas Original could be a better fit. It includes a 365-night sleep trial, a 20-year warranty, and some added cooling features. You also get a free bedding bundle and a machine-washable cover for easy care. At $799 for a queen, Douglas offers a medium-firm feel that works for all sleep styles, making it a versatile and accessible choice for most Canadians.
