Cover	Our advanced cover features a unique combination of heat and moisture wicking technologies to regulate the microclimate between your body and the sleep surface. Microban® treatment helps prevent the growth of odor and stain-causing bacteria for a cleaner sleep.	A single knitted length of fabric (made in the USA) is beautifully tailored to hug the mattress and your body. Subtle quilting and our signature "patterns" of life stripes add to the elegance and comfort.
Machine-washable cover	No	No
Ergonomic handles	No	No
Comfort	Proprietary foam features exceptional pressure relief combined with enhanced airflow properties. Precision-contoured 3D geometric surface provides targeted, self-adjusting support for different parts of the body.	The Leesa Hybrid mattress combines Leesa's premium cooling and pressure-relieving foams with an advanced pocket spring system that actively responds to your body's pressure points throughout the night. As your body presses into the mattress, Leesa Hybrid's individually-wrapped coils gently push back, providing unparalleled support, edge to edge. Cooling Premium Foam The 1.5" top layer is a high performance 3.75 lb high density foam. This performance layer does not retain heat, is hole-punched to allow airflow cooling, and provides enough bounce for freedom of movement.
Support	The foundation of the MOLECULE mattress. An ample 7” of firm support fosters healthy spine alignment. Breathable materials promote even more airflow and heat transfer.	The Secret is in the Springs Our pocket-springs were created after many hours of prototyping to find the perfect gauge wire that gives superior edge support. Once perfected, the coils are encased and placed between layers of foam for the perfect fusion of pocket springs and high performance foam. Pressure-relieving Memory Foam The 1.5" memory foam layer delivers the body contouring and pressure relief you've come to expect from memory foam. Supportive Springs Premium grade steel springs nestled between two layers of 1" stabilizing foam provide a unique core support layer.
