Leesa's Owner Satisfaction
Leesa is one of the most popular mattress in a box companies. Over the years, they have innovated with the addition of the Leesa hybrid mattress that includes a pocketed coil support system. Overall, these mattresses get good marks from customers, but there were some lingering issues with heat retention and feel for some. For those that are looking for competitively priced mattresses that are ultra-comfortable, take a look at our top rated mattresses for sleep quality.
Leesa's Supportiveness
Having support is extremely important to the feel and comfort of a mattress and whether it helps alleviate back pain. These mattresses are good at supporting sleepers overall. The Leesa mattress is slightly softer than the Leesa Hybrid, which offers more sustainable support.
Edge Support
Most sleepers are satisfied with the edge support of these mattresses. This means that the sides of the mattress will be comfortable for most folks and therre is even support the closer you get to the sides of the mattress.
Leesa's Durability
Durability is the single most important criteria for buying a new mattress next to initial comfort. Being able to get 7 to 12 years of life out of a mattress comfortably is good for mattresses in this day and age. However, there are additional things that can affect longevity -- like materials and how much the mattress is used. Reviewers give these mattresses good marks for durability versus others. That said, some with heavier bodies may experience a slight decrease in durability.
Tempurpedic's Owner Satisfaction
Tempur-Pedic is a great option for those that need a more specialized mattress in terms of firmness. They craft high-end mattresses with a wide-array of options -- from firmness to pocketed coil support systems. However, for those that are average-sized and looking for universal comfort, these mattresses are quite overpriced. Take a look at our list of top rated mattresses for those that deliver more for the money.
Tempurpedic's Supportiveness
A supportive mattress is essential for waking up refreshed in the morning. These mattresses are above average in supportiveness across all sleepers. This is important if you have back problems or need something that will keep the spine aligned properly. Most customers describe these mattresses as providing a good level of support initially.
Edge Support
Edge support is how much support there is on the sides of the mattress versus the middle. These mattresses have good edge support, but there are some folks that may experience more contouring along the edge.
Tempurpedic's Durability
Having a mattress that lasts is essential for mattress buyers. However, with brands fighting over profits, it isn't always a clear story for customers. That said, with customer feedback and mattress specifications, these mattresses will provide a good amount of durability and should last over 5 years for most. But, some heavier in body type sleepers may find them to be slightly less durable.

The best thing that’s ever happened!!
My wife and I live this bed so much. When we don’t sleep at home we miss it. Very sound sleep every night

Love it
Love it
A mattress evolution for noticeably better sleep.
Was pleasantly surprised with the support, comfort and overall better sleep provided by this mattress. I had a spring mattress for over 8 years and decided initially to go for a hybrid construction of spring and foam. This hybrid option eventually did not work out and I went with the all foam solution. All my initial worries were gone after that first night, the mattress does provide a good level of support and dissipates heat quite well. The only down side to this mattress was the smell it had for about a week after unpacking it, not a terrible thing to have to deal with for some days but not pleasant either. Regardless, I would highly recommend this mattress.
I love ❤️ Leesa
I bought the queen size mattress. It was delivered promptly and weighed 74 pounds. It wasn’t too hard to move around or dump out of the box (I have a low platform bed frame). Did a little adjusting of the cover or it would have opened lopsided. It is wonderful. It is supportive. There are no pressure points to cause pain anywhere on my body. I sleep with less tossing and turning so I’m more rested in the morning. I love my Leesa. Best $800 I have ever spent.
The best!
My Leesa is amazing. My back feels so good when I wake up in the morning (not always the case on other mattresses). I love memory foam but hate how hot it makes me feel and Leesa seems to have solved this problem. It reminds me of memory foam but I never overheat. And I don’t notice my wife getting out of bed in the morning. I paid a lot more for a Sleep Number and am replacing it with my Leesa!
Love this mattress! Firmness is
Love this mattress! Firmness is perfect! I researched for a year and glad I chose the Leesa.
Look forward to bed every night!
Going to bed has become one of my favorite times of day as a result of the Leesa mattress! Nicest bed I've had the pleasure of sleeping on!
Queen and King Leesa Mattress and Foundation and Pillows
I love the two Leesa Mattresses that I just bought. I now slumber in a deeper sleep. I don't wake up during the night tossing and turning, and look forward to going to bed! The pillows are fantastic. .
I love it. The best
I love it. The best night sleep with out waking up stiff. It is very relaxing
Comfy but smelly
We love our mattress! You sink in at all the right pressure points. We both especially like how our hips are sinking in just enough. It’s not slow to form like other memory foam beds, so when you roll over, your not leaving a hole and sitting on top. Our only complaint and the reason I didn’t give 5 stars, is the smell. During the first 2 weeks, it was pretty strong, it’s been about 2 months and it’s finally gone away for the most part. I’ll occasionally still smell it. I imagine all foam beds have this smell.
Comfortable, but...
This is a very firm mattress. I wish there had been an option to choose a softer one. Also, deep-pocket sheets, which most new sheets are, do not fit well. They are much too big.
Best Bed Ever!
My whole experience with Leesa has been wonderful. I ordered the mattress and foundation and had the mattress two days later! The foundation takes a little longer but I had that within a week. There was very little off-gassing and I didn't find the smell offensive. I'm very sensitive to smells/fumes, I have asthma, but we were able to sleep on this bed the very first night. The mattress is THE most comfortable thing I have ever felt! It somehow manages to cradle you, like a big, soft marshmallow and provide the perfect amount of support. I suffer from multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia and this bed has made such a huge difference in my life. I no longer wake up feeling like I've been beaten-up and while I rarely sleep through the night due to my illnesses, the rest and sleep I get on my Leesa has greatly improved my life. I've honestly never experienced this level of comfort! Thank you, Leesa!!!
totally awesome comfort after 6 weeks
totally awesome comfort after 6 weeks. Love it.
Amazing
Best night sleep that I have had in a long time. The only downfall on this mattress is I never want to get out of bed!
I don't know why we
I don't know why we waited so long
Comfy bed that results in a good nights rest
My wife and I LOVE our mattress. But that begs the question, how do you know you love it? First of all we aren't complaining about how we feel when we wake up anymore. We don't talk about buying a new mattress or even considering making a change. We fall asleep, and stay asleep (except when our 5 mo old wakes us). It's become a wonderful part of our evening, most nights I look forward to lying down! Great mattress for the price.
relieved...
relieved that it's as good as the reviewers make it out to be and relieved that i turn much less than I did on a spring mattress. My wife's experience is the same. It's a deal.
So good we had to buy another!
We bought a king size Leesa for our master bedroom and loved it so much we bought a queen size for our guest bedroom. Our guests are going to love it!
Best mattress I have ever owned
I have to admit I was a bit skeptical that a mattress that is not super thick could be comfortable. My husband and I were both pleasantly surprised. The mattress has been wonderful. Not too soft, not too firm. It is well made with a beautiful cover. Love my new mattress
Best mattress yet
Best mattress yet
excellent !!!
nice to finally get a good nights sleep.
Never had a better night of sleep!!
Fell in love on the first night and have slept better since. It is the right amount of firm and soft and cannot tell when my husband moves next to me. I am a Leesa owner for life!
So far so good!
I am enjoying this mattress
it's great!
it's great!
Less back pain
I enjoy my mattress and will buy again in the future. Bed feels firm but contours to my back. It has lessened my lower back pain. Only gripe is that the mattress has a plastic smell upon opening that lingers. Had to leave windows open for a week to let it air out. Smell is still there but faint.
Very comfortable. Smells weird.
I love the matress and sleep great. It provides great support and breathes well. It still has a slight chemical smell from then it was made I guess but you get used to it.
Extremely Comfortable. Great Value
Only reason I don’t give 5 stars is, LEESA tell us there may be some “off gassing” from the mattress for a few days. That means fumes emit from the mattress’s man-made material, a kind of settling process.
In the case of my mattress, it was like sleeping over an open can of paint for over a month. Then the “gassing” finally stopped.
I sleep really well on this mattress. Glad I bought it.
Too soft for me
I'm a stomach sleeper and this mattress was too soft for me. I needed a mattress that was a bit more firm.
Ok for a guest room, but not worth the price.
Our mattress has already developed troughs. It's still comfortable enough but there's no way it will last even 3-5 years, let alone the 10 a mattress at this price point should last.
For my Son
We bought the leesa for our Special Needs son. He is 35 and has a hard time sleeping. He has loved it. Sleeps so much better and is in a lot less pain when he gets up. Thank you.
So Great
My husband just had back surgery and he has been loving the Leesa mattress. We both think it's wonderfully supportive and just the right amount of soft. We love it!!
Best sleep I had in years.
Delivery and packaging was quick and easy. The light smell it had only lasted a day or two. As a heavier set guy, it felt amazing. It was super quiet, unlike a spring mattress. Very little disturbance with my wife. My wife on the other hand, hated the mattress. She's considered petite, and the more dense nature of foam mattresses meant she felt the Leesa to be a lot more firm than our last mattress. Sadly, I ended up returning it for her. It's a great option for medium to large folks. By the way, the return process was a breeze and refund processed about 5 days after the pickup. Amazing service.
The best mattress I've ever slept on
My fiance and I are about a year into our Leesa experience and for both of us, it's been the greatest investment. She and I both travel extensively and we sleep in a lot of hotels but no matter how much we enjoy the mattress, we always look forward to coming home to the Leesa.
Consistent quality
Super soft and well made mattress! We have been impressed with the quality and how it’s almost impossible to have a bad night’s sleep on it. It does run a little hot but I’d imagine not as hot as other memory foam mattresses due to the Leesa’s thoughtful construction.
AMAZING
I have gotten the best sleep ever! I’m a back and side sleeper and it’s been amazing for me! Definitely worth the investment! If you’re going to buy a mattress that will last and will allow you a great sleep, go with LEESA!!!
comfortable and supports my back
comfortable and supports my back well while being comfortable
Jury still out!
Bought this mattress for our son, he is a very big boy, hoping the mattress won't start sagging in hot e middle as every other mattress we have bought for him! We will see!
Good night sleep.
I've been having difficulty sleeping due to a injury. I purchased the Leesa mattress and was finally able to get a decent night sleep.
Love this mattress
After sleeping on this mattress for over a month, I’m ready to review it. This is by far the most comfortable mattress I’ve slept on. I also upgraded from my queen mattress to a king, which has been excellent. Along with the great sleep I’m having throughout the night, I’ve noticed I no longer wake up when my husband adjusts or gets in and out of bed. Experience with this mattress has been great!
Love, love, love my new mattress!
For me, the Leesa Mattress has proven to be a wonderful mattress. I have bursitis in both hips; I have had zero hip pain with this mattress. I sleep soundly, comfortably. If my kids hop into bed with me, they can move without disturbing me, and vice versa.
I highly recommend trying this mattress. What price would you put on a peaceful night's sleep?

Heaven
Because my back is full of rods nuts and bolts, finding the right mattress wasn't looking like it was possible until I tried my Tempur-Pedic breeze. When your in pain, you tend to feel hot. Not only is this bed comfortable, I can always find that cool spot that helps with the pain. I had another adjustable bed, it was great, but after 15 years, it was time to replace it. I used to have to sleep with a pillow under my knees, no more. Whatever Tempur-Pedic has done, they've done it right. I'm grateful, I'm sleeping and wake up rested. Thank you

Most comfortable and cool of the tempur-pedic
We previous had the Tempur-pedic rhapsody which we loved but. The new temper breeze is firmer and much cooler than the old version. We absolutely love it! No more back pain!
Disappointing
We are very disappointed with the comfort of our new bed. I believe that our old mattress was more comfortable.
Never will own anything else
We were hooked on tempur pedic from the first time!! Worth every penny, no other mattress will be in our home!!❤❤❤
JURY IS STILL OUT
While the bed definitely has helped with significantly reducing pain from my long standing back issues, it sleeps quite hot despite the fact I am using a Tempur Pedic mattress cover and sheets. It has also resulted in some shoulder and neck pain. I will give it a few more weeks.
Best Purchase ever !
I has owned a memory Foam temperpedic for 12 years This new Breeze Firm mattress compares to NONE ! I've ever tried ! It's not too firm it moves with you It's most comfortable mattress I have ever tried , and in almost month since purchase I have Better sleep , cooling affect has been excellent! Never feeling too warm ! The Firm is exactly what I needed and wanted ! Perfect Fit ! I also bought the cooling pillow ! It's remarkable ! I am so happy I splurged on myself and got both of these .. no more dips from the old mattress ! No more hot , mattress or pillow ! I have severe lumbar stenosis and My back has Actually stopped burning &aching ! I couldn't be more comfortable!
Comfortable from day 1
This is by far the best mattress I have ever slept on. No getting used to. It was comfortable from day one. I slept like a baby, something I have not experienced in a long time. The Pro-Breeze medium hybrid was the perfect choice for me. I have degenerative joint disease and recently had TKR surgery. I should have gotten one of these a long time ago. I highly recommend this mattress. I am also very happy with the service I received from mattress specialist Philip at the Carle Place NY store. He was very knowledgeable, patient and professional. Great shopping experience. Thanks Philip!
Wonderful mattress
We have had the queen size tempur-breeze pro hybrid for about 1 month and are very pleased with it. My wife was waking up with back pain and me with hip pain from our 15 year old firm inner spring mattress. The temple-breeze memory foam adjusts perfectly to our bodies. We are both side sleepers. We did not need a break in period and there was no odor, as others have complained about. The cooling aspect of the mattress is very unique from other memory foam mattresses and really does seem to draw the heat away from you body and keep the temperature cool. I do recommend if at all possible to buy from a tempurpedic store. The sales people are very knowledgeable and will recommend the best mattress for your sleeping position. They also have a much bigger selection to try out than other stores. When we purchased there was a President's Day sale and we saved $500 plus got a $300 credit we used against the cost of pillows and a mattress cover. The mattress was still expensive but when you consider how long you use one it is well worth the cost. I now look forward to a good night's sleep.
Awesome mattress and sheets
Love this mattress, we sleep much better and the sheets are a wonderful feet and soft like silk.
better sleep
our first tempur-pedic lasted for 17 yrs, great bed, made a mistake and went with a number bed on the next one. my wife and I hated if for 4 long yrs. now we have went back to a tempur-pedic and we love going to bed everyday now. lesson learned tempur-pedics' from now on.
Get LuxeBreeze not ProBreeze
ProBreeze was too hot aftt ty we about 1 hour. Exchanged it for LuxeBreeze 8•
Very Disappointed - Hot and uncomfortable
Wake up feeling like we slept on the floor. It's cool to the touch when you first lay down, but in the middle of the night it's hot just like all beds. Very disappointed that we spent twice as much for a regular mattress and it is so uncomfortable. Return policy is not customer friendly!
Awesome!
Went from a 7 yr old Serta I comfort to a tempur-pedic luxebreeze soft, and Wow what a difference, we absolutely love our bed. It has been so comfortable since day one.
Quality
A little hard getting used to, but am liking it better now and have been sleeping well. Think I'm going to like it.
My mattress is so comfortable
My mattress keeps me cooler just as instructed. The mattress is very comfortable
We love it!!!
We bought the bed when we moved to our new home, love it!!! My husband is able to sleep all night for the first time in months, and I love the feeling of the mattress meeting your body when you move!
Finally a bed that does what it promises!
Absolutely love my new mattress! We can move without pain or disturbing eachother, its completely silent. We sleep longer and awake refreshed. It truly has been a wonderful experience.
Comfort
This has been amazing from the start!!! Better nights rest equals better quality of life!!!
the most uncomfortable mattress Ive ever owned
I have had more back pain, cricks, and chiropractor visits since owning this mattress. Waste of money. You need support and this mattress does not do it. Take it from this doctor, this mattress is all hype.
Best night sleep ever
Simply the best night sleep I have ever had. I have not had such a deep sleep in such a long time. It truly is like sleeping on a cloud. I also got the the cloud pillow and no more stiff neck. The best investment. I got my queen size tempur breeze lux soft with adjustable frame October 2019 and have been sleeping better. Make the investment you will thank yourself many times over!! Do it now!
The cooling is amazing!
The mattress is unbelievably comfortable, but living in hot weather it is the cooling that has been a game changer for us. It has allowed us to get a much better night's sleep!
Hate this mattress
Hurts my shoulders. Nothing like the store sample, which was comfortable. Hate it!!!! Can't say "hate it" enough.
New purchase less than 3 days and It's okay
Bought for the cooling feature. Luxe Breeze soft- After applying the Tempur Mattress cover and a very thin sheet, the cooling is gone. I have slept for 2 days in this bed which is the most expensive mattress for a full king(no split) and I have woke up sweating throughout the night. I also have figured out that if the room is cool then there is no soft conforming of your body. You must have a warm room to make the mattress even barely soft. I purchased this because I am a hot sleeper and to take these night sweats away by at least 50%, so far I can't justify the money I've spent. I called the manufacturer and they advised that I must use a protector cover on the bed to protect my warranty but if I can't feel any cooler after applying the cover and a sheet then why should I keep this bed. I will update before the sleep trial to see if my thought has changed. The adjustable option is awesome, no so much so far on the mattress keeping me 8 degrees cooler.
Highly Satisfied
My wife and I knew that the Tempur-Pedic ProBreeze was the mattress that we were going to purchase from the moment that we laid on it. It's cool to the touch and provides comfortable support.
The best mattress I've ever owned
For the first few nights, I needed to adjust to the firmness, but now, I literally can't wait to get home from work, eat dinner, and get in that bed. The adjustable base makes it so comfortable to watch TV, and I've never slept better. Those little aches and pains that you wake up with are gone with this mattress. You may not even realize that you have these little pains, until you start sleeping on a TempurPedic. Within a week, you'll see a difference in how you feel in the morning. I love my bed. Thank you, TempurPedic!
Best bed ever. Like sleeping on a cloud
Firm, cool, perfect sleep regardless of the position. It's really a good night's rest
Finally found the perfect bed for me.
I'm 5' 11'' and 170lbs. This bed sleeps great on my stomach, back and side. I'm primarily a side sleeper and wake up much less and do not feel the need to toss and turn to relieve pressure points. I previously was trialing a 6k Intellibed that couldn't even come close to the support and pressure relief that this offers. Also, a little tip, I use a really low profile pillow on this because it allows my shoulders to get into the mattress more and align my spine better. My wife has the all foam version but I like the added support that the pocket coil system provides. I've watched and read so many different mattress reviews, and know more about mattresses than any regular person should. I can finally be done with that - this mattress is a keeper.
Best money we've ever spent!
For years my husband and I have both suffered from back pain and rarely are able to sleep through the night because of that pain. Since we got our new beds (we got two Twin XL's and separate adjustable bases), my husband, for the first time since I've known him, has slept LONGER than I have! He will sleep through my alarm and will sleep until after 7 am! For an army man and 1st shift worker, this is huge. We are both finally able to find comfort and sleep well. Additionally, we are both very warm sleepers and while it hasn't made a huge difference, this mattress is absolutely cooler than any other one we've ever owned. Every night since we've gotten our new beds, I've looked at him and said, "I LOVE THIS BED". I know the price can be intimidating, however, it is 100% worth it! If you are looking for comfort, Temper-Pedic is the way to go. Bite the bullet and spend the money. I promise, you will not regret it.
Best purchase
We were told it would take 120 days until it contoured to our bodies completely. It was a little strange the first few nights but it's been over a month now and I am starting to tell how much more better sleep I am getting, my body feels rested and not as sore, and I really love how much the bed doesn't shake my husband when I jump into bed! The only thing I do not care for is the protective cover for the mattress it came with. It feels like I am lying on paper. I finally took it off and it feels better without it. I also wish it came with king size pillows too.
Love it!!
This is our second Tempur-Pedic. Our first one lasted eight years, and they stood behind their full guarantee. We got another a Tempur-Pedic because we so enjoyed the first one. This one seems even better! Great company, great bed, and a good night of sleep!
Sleep
Love it. Sleep better from day 1.
Quality Sleep With Plush, Cool, Even Support
Purchasing a Tempur-Pedic mattress product was always in mind when a mattress replacement was due after my first experience on a Tempur-Pedic during a business conference hotel stay. We are extremely pleased with the cool, plush, even support of the LuxBreeze Soft mattress provides.
Not transformative for me
Although it is a little more comfortable than my previous mattress, I certainly do not find it a "transformative" or life-changing experience. I am two months into my 90 day trial and I am still considering returning it. I have wanted a Tempur-pedic bed for many years but could not afford it. so when I finally decided to take the plunge and spend the money, I was very excited to own one. However, in the end I am rather disappointed in the product.
Very comfortable
I love the adjustable head and foot sections.
Return Buyer.
We owned our first Tempur- Pedic bed for 15years. When it was time to get a new matters we recycled our old CA. King to a family in need. We then went out and bought a new XL Twin Split with adjustable base. This is a little slice of heaven after a long day. We can relax and unwind. The adjustable base is worth every penny. Some days I use it as a lounger just to relax. I'm not a huge fan of the message feature but the grand kids think it's cool.
A little bit of heaven!
I love this mattress. The comfort is out of this world. Well worth the price.
Great bed
We went from a soft bed to this I was like what did we do. We were like this thing is a brick. But after a few days it began to give for a great nights sleep. I am a big guy with 7 ruptured disc in my back and neck and usually toss and turn every 30 minutes at night and am now just turning 2 times a night and am sleeping great. I love the bed. Just give it a little while to break in.
Soft luxe breeze
First I purchased the firm option but found it way too firm woke up with body aches so I changed it to soft. What a difference ! I like a soft bed i upgraded from a icomfort savant medium . So glad I did
Probreeze bed and pillow
The bed is very comfortable and gives very good support. However, the pro breeze pillow is much too thick and was a total waste of money.
Our 5 year search is over.... Perfect Sleep is here!
For a little background, over the last 5 years, my wife and I have slept on virtually every high profile bed in a box out there. Casper, Purple, Helix, Yogabed, etc. We even bought an Intellibed. But we were unhappy with all of them. It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but we were sleeping on those because our previous Tempurpedic Rhapsody model began to break down after 7.5 years of loyal service. We left it at our old home which become a rental unit that was converted into a furnished rental. We thought we might try to replace it with a less expensive option like the ones listed above. Long story short, that was a terrible idea!!! We have been sleeping on our LUXEbreeze 8F cooler mattress for a month or two at this point and we both wonder what the heck is wrong with us that we didn't do this years ago! The Ergo adjustable base combined with our new mattress is just perfect. This is also the first time we've done the split King so we could each be in a different position and it was the perfect choice. She's 110lbs and I'm 200lbs so we have very different needs but this bed serves us both perfectly. I probably sound like a paid advertiser at this point, haha, but I assure you I am not. I'm simply a thoroughly satisfied customer who spent 7 years in the desert and rediscovered paradise, haha! It's certainly not the least expensive mattress out there, but it's undoubtedly the best.
