I also found it could trap body heat, so those who run warm should look elsewhere.
Strong motion isolation will appeal to bed-sharers and light sleepers, though.
Leesa Studio mattress: two-minute review
Leesa is a major player in online mattress retailers.
For me, it’s amongst thebest mattresses for back pain.
There are a couple of caveats to that.
If you’re a naturally hot sleeper, the Studio won’t work for you.
Read on for my full Leesa Studio mattress review.
That’s based on the regular discounts, because you’ll never really pay full MSRP at Leesa.
Expect around 25 per cent off, with two free pillows.
However, the Studio is also available via theLeesa Amazon store.
The top two models in ourbest memory foam mattressranking both generally cost around $699 for the queen size.
Read about those in ourNectar mattress reviewandCocoon Chill mattress review.
Mattress saleshappen all year round, but many brands increase their discounts around national holidays.
Inside of the soft, removable mattress cover is three layers of foam.
At 10 inches tall, it’s on the thinner side, and also pretty lightweight.
The king-sized mattress that I tested only weighs 83lbs.
For reference, a king-size Purple mattress weighs 120lbs.
All three layers of foam areCertiPUR-US certified.
Inside of the mattress cover begins with a 1.5 inch layer of memory foam.
This layer is designed to provide a sink-in contouring feeling.
Below the initial memory foam is another 1.5 inch layer of responsive foam.
This is an airy foam designed to help dissipate heat and keep you cool during your sleep.
Finally, a 4-inch layer of base foam provides the support for the mattress.
There is a zipper, so youcouldtake the cover off, but Leesa doesn’t recommend it.
Adding one of thebest mattress protectorsis always a good idea, anyway.
I would rate the firmness an 8 out of 10.
When I placed a 25lb weight and in the middle of the bed, it sank in roughly 1.5-inches.
The mattress returns to form about a half second after the weight is removed.
The Leesa Studio doesn’t offer enough contouring for most side sleepers.
However, it’s pretty well suited to back and stomach sleepers.
During this time, I tested the mattress following TechRadar’smattress testing methodology.
Read on to find out how this mattress performed.
In short, this bed is not ideal for heat dissipation.
The Leesa Studio all but eliminates that problem.
Once the weight was about 9 inches away from the mug, the mug stopped falling over.
Edge support
Edge support is important for those who have trouble getting in and out of bed.
I placed my 25lb weight on the edge of the bed to measure the sinkage.
Remember, the middle of the bed recorded roughly 1.5 inches of sinkage.
On the edge of the bed, the sinkage recorded was closer to 2 inches.
When I sat on the edges of the bed I felt myself slightly sliding out of the bed.
When I lay on the edge of the mattress, I don’t feel any sensations of rolling off.
The mattress seemed to be fully expanded after only 10 minutes or so.
Leesa offers a 100-day trial period and a 10 year limited warranty on the Leesa Studio.
I also found other reviews that mentioned the mattress being ideal for users under 200lbs.
I did also find a few mentions of users accounting for the mattress sleeping hot.
I had a similar experience, as noted above, and it appears other users second those experiences.
Should you buy the Leesa Studio mattress?
I think that’s down to the firmer, more supportive feel.
I found it ran warm at night.
The bed was occupied every night by me, my wife, and our three-year-old, 50lb Aussiedoodle.
