Firmness Info
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.
A medium-firm feel, rated a 5 to 7 on the firmness scale. Perfect for all sleep positions: back, side or stomach.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview
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 Studio by Leesa combines the high quality you've come to expect from Leesa products at an outstanding value. It is a 3 layer construction:
  • 1.5" Contouring Memory Foam (Density: 2.5)
  • 1.5" Pressure-relieving transitional foam (Density: 2.5)
  • 7" Core support foam base (Density: 1.8)
  • Breathable, signature cover with the iconic four-stripe design with a blue color twist.
Comfort Info
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.
Studio by Leesa provides the comfort and support you want from a mattress made with high-quality materials at a value you won't find anywhere else.
Support Info
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.
Designed for comfort and support, Studio by Leesa relieves pressure on the hips and shoulders.
Comfort Specs
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.
A top layer of high-quality, responsive memory foam for cooling comfort while you sleep.
Support Specs
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.
Foam provides support, relieving hip and shoulder pressure, so you toss and turn less and sleep better. The core layer is the same as the one found in the Leesa Original mattress.
Fabric Specs
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.
Our breathable, signature cover with a twist: heather-blue with blue stripes.
