Tuft & Needle Essential Original vs Leesa Original

We make one model of mattress that is designed to be universally comfortable and medium firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. We like to describe it as firm enough to be supportive, yet soft enough to be comfortable!
We've designed our foam to work with those who like soft mattresses as well as those who like firm, so we encourage everyone to give us a try regardless of your usual preference. If you're not 100% satisfied, you can return it for a full refund.

The 6" base foam layer adds strength, durability and structure to support sleepers of all sizes, without feeling too firm.
The Leesa Original mattress is a medium firm mattress, rated a 5-7/10 on the firmness scale.

Two-layer blended foam designed by and proprietary to Tuft & Needle:

• The comfort foam layer is 3" of a very high-density foam that we created to achieve our universally comfortable, cool and responsive properties. The density is about 2.8 lbs/cubic ft.
• The support foam layer is 7" of a high-density poly-foam. The density is about 1.8 lbs/cubic ft.

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.

Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress.
Heat Wicking
Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body.
Breathable
With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress.
No More Quicksand
Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply.

Beautifully designed and engineered with three premium foams for cooling, body contouring and pressure-relieving core support.

Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot.

The Leesa mattress is designed to cradle and support your body while avoiding the sinking feeling and overheating found in other foam mattresses.

Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam
We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.

The 2" LSA200™ foam top layer provides airflow for a cooler night's sleep and enough bounce for freedom of movement.

Supportive Base Layer
Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress.
Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.

Pressure Relieving Memory Foam
The 2" memory foam layer delivers the body contouring and pressure relief you've come to expect from memory foam.

Our plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.
Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.

The Leesa Mattress is wrapped in our iconic four-stripe cover that features fire retardant properties.
