Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
The Midnight offers balanced support and a medium feel, it has four layers of construction:
  • Cover: Helix Two Touch Design
  • Comfort Layer: Memory Plus Foam (Density: 2.5 PCF)
  • Transition Layer: High-Grade Polyfoam
  • Body Shape Layer: 6" Wrapped Coils
  • Base Layer: DuraDense Foam.
The new and improved Lessa mattress (released October, 2018) is a 3-Layer Foam Construction
  • 2" Cooling Foam Top Layer (IFD: 13. DENSITY: 3 PCF)
  • 2" Contouring Memory Foam (IFD: 9. DENSITY: 3 PCF)
  • 6" Core Support Foam Base (IFD: 32. DENSITY: 1.8 PCF)
  • Seamless Iconic Four-stripe Cover.
Comfort Info
Beautifully designed and engineered with three premium foams for cooling, body contouring and pressure-relieving core support.
Support Info
Specially designed using a Memory Plus Foam pressure relief layer to cushion your pressure points as a side sleeper.
Density of the top and middle layers optimized to give you the right amount of support based on your body type.
The Leesa mattress is designed to cradle and support your body while avoiding the sinking feeling and overheating found in other foam mattresses.
Comfort Specs
Uniquely pressure relieving, we use Memory Plus Foam - a special Helix blend.
The 2" LSA200™ foam top layer provides airflow for a cooler night's sleep and enough bounce for freedom of movement.
Support Specs
High-Grade Polyfoam
Providing ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a medium IFD to match your body type.
Wrapped Coils
Hundreds of individual coils help to cradle your body while also limiting motion transfer.
Edge Support
Each mattress has an individually wrapped spring unit with a reinforced perimeter. This means your mattress will reduce that roll-off feeling and will keep its shape more while sitting on the edge of the bed. Our technology is proven to be substantially better than all foam options.
Pressure Relieving Memory Foam
The 2" memory foam layer delivers the body contouring and pressure relief you've come to expect from memory foam.
Fabric Specs
Helix Two Touch Design
Each mattress comes with a top cover layer with stretch and a soft touch as well as a lower cover layer for airflow and breathability. Top cover - 100% soft polyester. Lower cover - Jersey knit fabric with woven fire barrier.
Upgrade to ultra cool knit cover for cooler nights (available at checkout). This Ultra-Cool Cover is designed using phase change material to keep your body cool when you sleep. Simply zip on the Ultra-Cool Cover in place of your standard cover for quick and easy use.
The Leesa Mattress is wrapped in our iconic four-stripe cover that features fire retardant properties.
