Firmness info	The 6" base foam layer adds strength, durability and structure to support sleepers of all sizes, without feeling too firm.	Generally speaking, we describe both of our mattresses as medium-firm in feel. However, we also understand even that description can be subjective. Two people sleeping on the same mattress might have contrasting opinions - it could be too soft, too firm, or just right. That's why we offer our 100-night sleep trial to ensure every person has the opportunity to decide if the Tuft & Needle mattress is the right fit for them, and return it if it's not.

Cover	The Leesa Mattress is wrapped in our iconic four-stripe cover that features fire retardant properties.	Our ultra plush Mint® Mattress cover is made with polyester and viscose. It has a super soft, cozy touch and adds just a hint of cushion. Viscose is commonly known as rayon and is used in clothing.

Comfort	Beautifully designed and engineered with three premium foams for cooling, body contouring and pressure-relieving core support. The 2" LSA200 foam top layer provides airflow for a cooler night's sleep and enough bounce for freedom of movement.	1. More Graphite 30% extra graphite maximizes cooling, sweeping 50% more heat away from the body. 2. Higher Quality Gel Upgraded Ceramic Gel absorbs 5 times more heat than conventional blue-gel products. 3. Open Cell Technology Our open-cell foam technology is designed to allow air to flow freely through the mattress, increasing breathability. 1. Comfy Top Layer We optimized the top layer of Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam to be a progressive combination of comfy and pressure relieving. 2. Cozy Cover A new thick, knit cover adds durability and coziness. 3. Pressure Relief Our progressive support and super comfortable top layers are designed to remove pressure points and bring relief.
Support	The Leesa mattress is designed to cradle and support your body while avoiding the sinking feeling and overheating found in other foam mattresses. Pressure Relieving Memory Foam The 2" memory foam layer delivers the body contouring and pressure relief you've come to expect from memory foam.	The three layers in the Mint® Mattress work together to provide remarkable support that you'll find comfortable immediately as well as throughout the night. We increased the softness of the top layer for better pressure relief, increased the firmness of the bottom support layer (for edge support), and added a middle transitional layer to keep you from "bottoming" out. 1. Progressive Support Ordering our layers in a gradual firmness combines comfort and support. The more you push, the more it pushes back to meet you. 2. More Gel Beads 30% more gel beads in our second layer add cushion-like support. 3. More Edge Support Our improved, firmer base layer adds comfortable edge support.

FAQs

Leesa Original

How long does Leesa original mattress last?

The lifespan of a Leesa original mattress is typically around 6-8 years, which is average for most foam mattresses.

Is Leesa good for hot sleepers?

Leesa mattresses are designed to prevent heat retention, a common issue with traditional memory foam mattresses. Therefore, hot sleepers should find a Leesa mattress comfortable.

Where is Leesa manufactured?

Leesa mattresses, foundations, blankets, and pillows are all made in the USA. However, the Leesa Hybrid Pillow is produced in China and the Leesa x Third Sheets are produced in Israel.

Tuft & Needle Mint

How soft is Tuft and Needle Mint?

The Tuft and Needle Mint mattress is slightly softer than the original, with a firmness level of medium to medium-soft, or a 4 out of 10 on the firmness scale (with 10 being the firmest).

Does Tuft and Needle Mint sleep hot?

The Tuft & Needle Mint is not cool to the touch, but it is very cooling for a foam mattress. It uses graphite and cooling gel beads to promote breathability, making it suitable for hot sleepers who prefer a gentle all-foam feel.

Is Tuft and Needle Mint good for stomach sleepers?

The Tuft & Needle Mint provides enough support to prevent most stomach sleepers' hips from sinking in excessively and causing strain on their spines. However, some stomach sleepers, especially those who weigh more or carry most of their weight near their midsections, may experience more significant sinkage.
