Leesa Mattress

Best For:

  • Warm or hot sleepers
  • Anyone who wants a body-contouring mattress
  • Back, stomach, side, and combo sleepers
  • Petite to heavy built sleepers
  • Those who can’t sleep without feeling foams and springs in their bed

Aside from offering high-quality mattresses, Leesa also prides itself on supporting One Good Promise. For every 10 mattress purchase at Leesa gives away 1 mattress to those in need. So, let’s find out whether its hybrid model is worth it or not.

Construction

Leesa’s Hybrid model is an 11 inches mattress that consists of multiple layers. These layers include a couple of foams and a spring layer to complete its premium construction. Starting with its cover, Leesa used a hybrid fabric to match its design and quality. Of course, we can’t forget about its signature design which is showcased in every Leesa mattress. Leesa Hybrid Mattress also has that seamless gray color with white stripes on the bottom. Also, the cover of this hybrid model has that soft to the touch texture that sleepers find more comforting. Peeking under its cover, this Leesa mattress has a layer of premium comfort layer that is 1.5 inches thick. This responsive top layer has 3 pounds density and 13 IFD to provide that soft bounce. Thus, this foam can prevent you from being stuck into the mattress. Under this layer of foam is another layer of foam that acts as the contouring material. This contouring memory foam has 4 pounds density and 12 IFD to adjust under your size and weight. Next to this 1.5 inches foam is the first layer of core support foam which has 2 pounds density and 30 IFD. This 1-inch foam sits on top of the 6 inches tall support layer to reduce any uncomfortable feel of the springs. This support layer consists of a 14.5 gauge pocket spring system with 1,000 individually-wrapped pocket spring coils. For the final layer, Leesa Hybrid Mattress has another layer of core support foam. However, this base foam has 1.8 pounds density only and 32 IFD.

Firmness

Compared with the other models of Leesa mattresses, this hybrid version is perfect for larger side sleepers. This is due to its medium-firm comfort level which allows the mattress to adjust smoothly under their size and weight. With its firmness, even back sleepers find it comforting as well as those who like their mattress a little firm. Since this bed is firmer than Leesa Original and Leesa Legend, stomach sleepers may find it inappropriate for them. Regardless, this mattress has a combination of high-density foams and a spring system to cushion your body. It may not be that fluffy to make you feel like you’re floating but it’s not too firm either like a rock. Depending on your weight, this mattress may feel a bit softer especially for larger sleepers.

Support

With a thick profile, the Leesa Hybrid Mattress provides versatility and solid support. Its body-contouring memory foam, responsive comfort layer, and reactive pocket spring base alleviate pressure points. Thus, this foam layer targets all pain-causing pressure points such as your head, back, hips, shoulders, and legs. It can also bounce back to keep you on top of the mattress to avoid feeling trapped. Therefore, you can experience the comfort and support you love. Aside from this soothing pressure point relief it also has an edge to edge support which is provided by its pocket spring system. Thus, you’ll find these high-density perimeter coils handy if you share your bed. These coils increase the stability of the mattress and reduce the motion transfer throughout the sleeping surface.

Temperature Regulation

Since some sleepers tend to feel warmer in sleep, Leesa also designed this bed with temperature regulating features. Leesa used different cooling technologies to keep the mattress cool all year round to enhance your sleep. For instance, this Leesa Hybrid Mattress has a breathable poly-blend cover and hole-punched comfort layer which promotes better air circulation. To make its foam and cover more efficient, its pocket spring coils are also there for reinforcement. These coils reduce heat retention in the mattress and allow air to flow more freely through the mattress.

Amerisleep Mattress

Best For:

  • Memory foam mattress aficionados
  • Experiencing just enough bounce
  • Back and stomach sleepers
  • Hot sleepers who tend to experience night sweats more often
  • Anyone who wants a thick solid mattress

Amerisleep offers various models of mattresses but we will focus on its AS2 model which is its most popular model.

Construction

This Amerisleep AS2 Mattress with a 12 inches profile consists of multiple layers that have solid construction. Its cover is made with Celliant technology determined by the FDA to promote a more rejuvenating sleep. Nothing feels better than relaxing on a cozy bed which can help increase your blood flow while sleeping. Compared with other types of mattress covers, its fabric also has 13 Thermo reactive minerals. Together with Celliant technology, these elements help enhance the performance of AS2. Under this advanced cover is its patented Bio-Pur foam which performs better than any traditional foam. This 2 inches plant-based sourced foam using a zero-emission process has 4 pounds density and 10 ILD. This is the first layer of foam that will conform to your body then bounce back into its original shape. For its second layer of foam, Amerisleep used its exclusive HIVE transition layer which performs multiple jobs. This foam is 3 inches thick with 1.65 pounds density and 40 ILD. To make it more durable and stable, AS2 also contains a Bio-Core base to ensure that it lasts for years. This is the thickest layer which is 7 inches tall with 1.5 pounds density and 35 ILD. Of course, Amerisleep can prove it with its 20-year warranty period which other mattress companies can’t match.

Firmness

On a scale of 1 to 10, we’d say that the comfort level of AS2 Mattress is close to 6-8. This means that its feel is almost the same as the Leesa Hybrid Mattress. But if the latter is more suitable for back and heavy side sleepers, AS2 is more suitable for back and stomach sleepers. With these types of sleepers in their mind, rest assured that this mattress is designed to provide their desired feel. For instance, its Celliant technology promotes comfort and faster recovery while its Bio-Pur promotes quick recovery in less than 5 seconds. This responsive memory foam will not make you feel stuck when you move around the bed. If you want to move with ease around your bed, this is worth considering when it comes to mattresses.

Support

Of course, Amerisleep will not be left behind when it comes to producing mattresses that offer solid support. Unlike traditional memory foams, AS2 features a layer of advanced Bio-Pur foam that is highly responsive. This eco-friendly memory foam can contour to your unique body curves regardless of your preferred sleeping position. Moreover, it has the HIVE transition layer which is also known as the Affinity layer with SMT. This layer provides targeted support to reduce your pain and pressure points. This is thanks to the hundreds of foam hexagons that are grouped into 5 comfort zones. Each comfort zone is designed to provide additional cushion right where you want it and support where you need it. This way, your body gets the right support to stay properly aligned during your sleep.

Temperature Regulation

AS2 may not have cooling gel beads but it has multiple layers of cooling solutions. First, it has the Celliant technology which can safely convert body heat into infrared energy. This increases the local circulation of blood flow temporarily which helps the body to stay cool throughout your sleep. As a result, your body can recharge faster as you sleep deeper. Another temperature regulating solution that the AS2 Mattress has is its Bio-Pur which has an open-cell design. Its unique design makes it more breathable than traditional memory foams.

Differences

The AS2 Mattress and Leesa Hybrid Mattress may have similarities but it doesn’t mean that they are the same. The first aspect where these mattresses differ is construction. The Leesa mattress is a hybrid mattress with spring coils while the other one is an all-foam mattress. The Leesa Hybrid Mattress is also made with 5 layers of foams and spring system with different thickness, density, and IFD. On the other hand, the AS2 Mattress has 3 layers of foams only. These layers made the Leesa Hybrid Mattress feel firmer and have more edge support compared with the AS2 Mattress from Amerisleep. Another difference that we spotted is the price and size department. Leesa’s cost ranges from $699 (Twin) to $1,599 (King and California King) while Amerisleep’s cost ranges from $799 (Twin) to $1,599 (King and California King). The latter also comes with more size options which include Split King that costs $1,898.

Verdict

For the final round, here are some points that can help you decide:

What is your preferred sleeping position?

If you’re a back and/or stomach sleeper, we recommend AS2. But if you’re of a heavy side and back sleeper, go for Leesa Hybrid.

How much is your budget?

If you want a hybrid mattress at a low cost, Leesa is a great mattress to invest in.
