Yes, it's a tad firmer than I was used to, but the back and edge support this hybrid mattress offers are exceptional, eliminating the back pain I had with my previous memory foam-only mattress. The build quality and luxurious materials used are high grade. Overall, the Sapira is a class act.

Day 1: The mattress arrives in a tall square-box, about 2x2x4. I attached a photo of what the mattress looks like compressed inside the box. Upon placing the mattress on my boxspring, I cut the plastic off and the bed immediately sprung to life, literally, as the coils decompressed. Yes, there is a noticeable off-gassing smell, but it's not offensive. I left my window open at night, and 90% of the smell was gone by the next morning.

Day 2: At first, the mattress was a bit firm, but after about 24-36 hours the mattress had fully decompressed and was much more comfortable. It's probably a 6.5/7 out of 10 on the firmness scale, the way most online professional mattress websites suggest. The top Avena foam layer sleeps cool, so I don't overheat. The bounce the Avena foam + the pocketed coils provide makes moving around, and getting out of bed effortless. The off-gassing smell is just about gone now.

Day 3: Decided to get rid of my old mattress and keep the Sapira. I sleep mostly on my back, but sometimes on my side and stomach throughout the night. The only sleep position I thought wasn't going to work out was the side position, because of the firmness, but the 3 inches of Avena + memory foam actually provide just enough sinkage, while keeping my spine aligned. The off-gassing smell is completely gone now. I bought a mattress protector, and then my bed sheet goes over that to complete the package.

When I bought this mattress last Sunday, there were 20 left in stock with Amazon. As of this morning, only 9 Queen-size beds were left in stock, while some sizes other than Queen were already out of stock. So clearly word is getting out about this mattress. At $1,325, it's also a lot less expensive than every other hybrid mattress on the market, most of which will cost at least $2,000 more than this one, and will require you going to a showroom, and taking time off work to be home for delivery.

In conclusion, I highly recommend this mattress. Please feel free to ask me any direct questions on here. Also, if you have time, I recommend reading the review on Sleepopolis, as it's the most comprehensive professional review that matches my own experience.

Update: although I bought a Claritin mattress protector, and although when I called Sapira customer service they recommended having one too, I removed it on Day 4. It added a "plastic" feel to the surface of the bed that became unbearable. Once I removed it, that initial softness I experienced on Day 1 came back again. I only intend to use just my bedsheet from here on out. I recommend you do the same.

((On a side note, I suggest ignoring the only other two reviews on here, both two stars. Unlike myself, neither one is a confirmed buyer of this product. The first review is too short to be real for a legitimate mattress evaluation by an actual customer. The fact that this mattress has the firmness rating it does shows the Sapira is designed for superior back support, so the reviewer's complaint is illogical. The second review is also partially off topic, as they discuss the manufacturers's website, which has nothing to do with how the mattress feels. Yes, they are correct the mattress is a little firm, but every other online review already confirms this. So to slam the product with only two stars for performing how it was designed is unfair.))

I've had this mattress for about 6 months now. I was satisfied with the mattress at first, but over time my view has diminished. Unfortunately for the past 3 months I have been experiencing a great deal of lower back pain upon waking. After experimenting sleeping on other beds/sofas in hotels and my house with no pain I have say that the mattress is (at least partially) the culprit. I am a female in my mid-30's, physically active, and healthy. Like another reviewer stated, I feel as if the mattress is softening up a lot as it's being broken in.

To the mattress' credit, the quality appears good and it really does minimize motion transfer. I put a glass of red wine on one side, plunked down on the other side, and the glass remained upright! Every body and sleeping preference is unique, so I realize my experience might not match others, but this mattress is not for me.

At $1600 we expected to get a couple years out of a mattress, but after 10 months we threw it out.
No support at all. We woke up in pain everyday. Spent a small fortune on mattress toppers and anything else that would help, but nothing did.

First off, I’m not a product reviewer. I generally ignore any and all opportunities to write product reviews. But I felt the Leesa Hybrid was deserving of my time to write a review.

We had been searching for a mattress for a couple years, mainly paralyzed by the fear of not liking whatever we decided to buy. Our old pillow top was about 9 years old and at 28 years old I was starting to understand how boomers feel when they wake up in the morning.

We tried the Leesa in person at a local store and were sold, but Amazon had by far the best deal we could find.

My boyfriend likes firm mattresses, but I’m 5’ 2” and 130 lbs so we needed to find a balance between firm and too firm. The nice part about the Leesa is the memory foam top, so you get a softer feel while still enjoying a medium firm mattress. It’s even perfect for my lighter body weight and the boyfriend thinks the firmness is satisfactory too. We are both happy.

The one thing that has taken some getting used to is it sleeping cooler. We’ve had to play with the thermostat in the house a bit since our previous mattress slept so hot.

However the most striking thing is the GREAT SLEEP AND TOTAL AND COMPLETE LACK OF BACK PAIN!!!! I would recommend this mattress to anyone!

I was worried about getting a bed online. I was even more confused about what kind to get, given all the options. I didn’t trust a lot of the reviews because everyone knows that so many of them are bogus. All I can say is that I am a very real person and I was SO suprised by how much I liked the bed. It’s more comfortable than my old “normal” bed and it’s been some of the best rest I have gotten. Maybe it’s not for everyone, but it’s definitely perfect for me. It’s just the perfect amount of firm and soft.

10/10 will buy again; 13/10 would recommend to friends and family; 1/10 would recommend to people I dislike.

Give this a try, you won’t be disappointed.

My chronic lower back pain is GONE like magic. I'm so happy waking up with no pain and my body feels much lighter every morning. I should have bought this Sapira mattress a year ago when my friend let me sleep on it for 3 nights. I fell in love with this mattress back then, so I was trying to save some money. I'm so glad I decided to spend the money for myself. It's truly life changing mattress. Perfectly firm and when my dog walks by on this mattress, I don't even feel the movement. It came in a heavy box but it was very easy to open and set it up.

Best bed ever. If you have back pain don't hesitate about getting this bed. I've had inner springs and memory foam but this is in a league of its on.
