Leesa Hybrid Mattress Review

Motion isolation on the Leesa Hybrid is right around average. The main factor boosting its motion isolation is the memory foam in the comfort system. The top polyfoam layer also has some ability to cut down on motion transfer.

That said, the bounce from the coils, even though they are individually-wrapped, makes it easier for movement to be felt across the surface of the bed. For the majority of people, this amount of motion transfer is unlikely to pose sleeping problems.

However, it may be an issue for people who are very sensitive to sleep disruptions and share a bed with someone who moves around a great deal or who frequently gets up and out of bed at night.

The Leesa Hybrid provides slightly above-average pressure relief through its moderate conforming that can lightly cradle the body and its heavier impact points.

This balanced feel allows the Leesa Hybrid to appeal to sleepers with a diversity of sleeping positions and body weights; however, it does not offer the deep contouring and tailoring that can be found on some other types of beds, such as memory foam mattresses.

The customer reviews of the Leesa Hybrid note that heat retention is rarely an issue.

Because customers don’t sink too far into the bed, air can move around their skin, allowing for natural comfort cooling. In addition, most of the layers are resistant to significant heat buildup. Memory foam can retain heat, but the layers above and below it are far less likely to heat up, and the airflow through the coils keeps the mattress well-ventilated.

For these reasons, the Leesa Hybrid has above-average temperature control and can meet the needs of most hot sleepers.

The Leesa Hybrid effectively meets the needs of people who like to sit or sleep near the edge of the bed.

Edge support begins with the innerspring coils that are sturdy and reinforced around the perimeter. The polyfoam layers in the comfort system also fight against substantial compression of the mattress at the edge.

As with almost all mattresses, there will be some greater compression at the edge compared to the center, but there is plenty of stability on the Leesa Hybrid to sleep or sit comfortably near the edge.

Sleepers find that the Leesa Hybrid has substantial responsiveness, meaning that the bed quickly jumps back to its original shape when you remove your weight from it.

This characteristic keeps people from feeling stuck in one position and facilitates easy movement on top of the bed. This responsiveness derives largely from the innerspring support core, although the polyfoams in the comfort system contribute to it as well.

The bounce from the coils and polyfoam layers makes the Leesa Hybrid an above-average choice for people who want to make sure that their mattress is good for intimate activities. The mixture of responsiveness, edge support, and a medium firm feel means most sexual positions are comfortable and supported across the entire mattress surface.

After opening the Leesa Hybrid, it’s normal to notice a light smell that comes from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) created during the mattress manufacturing process. The VOCs are generally considered harmless, and the minor smell usually fades away within a few hours in a well-ventilated bedroom. However, sleepers who are highly smell-sensitive may be more bothered and may detect the smell for a longer period of time.

For the great majority of sleepers, the issue of off-gassing is not a problem on the Leesa Hybrid.
