Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress reviewed

The Sapira Hybrid puts Leesa’s foams on a bed of springs. From the top, an 11-inch (28 cm) build: a Cool-Knit cover, 1.5 inches of ventilated GreenFlex foam, 1.5 inches of 4-lb memory foam, a 1-inch transition layer, 6 inches of reinforced steel springs and a 1-inch foam base.

The springs change the character more than the height does. It feels livelier than the all-foam Original, air moves through the coil layer, and the reinforced perimeter makes the edge usable for sitting. In Leesa’s customer survey 86% described it as medium to medium-firm, and we rate it 6 out of 10.

That firmer middle suits back sleepers and heavier side sleepers who sink too far into foam. Petite side sleepers may feel more shoulder pressure than on the Original. The memory foam still damps a partner’s movement well, though not quite as completely as a foam-only bed.

The Sapira costs noticeably more than the Original: a Queen lists at $1,592.81 before discounts. It ships compressed like the foam models and keeps the 365-night trial and limited lifetime warranty.
