Think about
- There is no firmness choice, and older owners who sleep on their side found it too firm.
- A side sleeper with back problems found the earlier Leesa too firm, reported hip, neck and shoulder pain and heat, and returned it.
- A lightweight side sleeper felt pressure points quickly and found it firmer than the medium-soft feel he wanted.
- No owner reviews we could verify yet

What independent reviewers found
- RTINGS (May 2026): Lab-tested queen felt medium and gave its best support to heavier sleepers in every position, with lighter people getting less alignment. Edges were weak and tilted outward with no reinforcement, motion stayed fairly local, it slept very cool, and the less-dense memory foam layers may show body impressions sooner. RTINGS bought a queen with the knit cover, not the quilted top. Read it ↗
- Mattress Clarity (Oct 2026): Testers felt it firmer than average with little sink, suiting back and side sleepers (including those over 230 lb) but not stomach sleepers. Sitting on the edge sank noticeably though lying near it felt secure, a partner's position changes were more noticeable than getting in and out, it stayed cool, and there was no noticeable smell.

- NapLab (Oct 2026): Tested the 2026 redesign with a plant-based top foam; medium-firm 6/10. Works for all positions, though the reviewer advises against it over 250 lb. Good cooling, very good edge support despite no reinforcement, slightly above-average motion intensity. 2026 version. NapLab discloses affiliate commissions. Read it ↗
Their testing, in our words. We haven’t tested these mattresses ourselves, and we don’t repeat their scores.
