Ranked #2 in Best Memory Foam Mattresses Queen

Leesa Original

4.4

8 sources$725as of Aug 1

The Leesa Original Mattress is a memory foam bed that cradles without going soft, which puts it in range for back and side sleepers under 200 pounds. YouTube reviewer Owen from The Slumber Yard walked through its three-layer construction of dense support foam under a memory foam top. It ships with a 120-night trial and a lifetime warranty. Heavier sleepers are told to look elsewhere, since they may run into heat retention.

Strengths

— Combines gentle cradle of memory foam with underlying firmness for balanced support
— Well-received by testers for its medium-firm feel that suits back and side sleepers
— Includes a 120-night trial period for risk-free testing

Watch-outs

— Not ideal for heavier sleepers over 200 pounds
— Memory foam layer may cause heat retention for some users

Saatva Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm)

4.5

5 sources$624as of Jul 5

The Saatva Loom & Leaf (Relaxed Firm) is a hybrid mattress built on foam layers rather than coils, so it reads as memory foam with a balanced, conforming surface. Reviewers broke the construction down: a thick layer of den support foam, transition foam that sets the firmness, and two memory foam layers under a quilted European pillow top. The feel is softer and more nuanced than a traditional memory foam mattress. Some reviewers raised concerns about heat retention and whether it supports heavier sleepers well enough. Side sleepers and anyone who wants a plush, conforming surface will get the most from it.

Strengths

— Features a hybrid construction with foam layers instead of coils, providing a memory foam feel
— Includes a thick layer of transition foam that determines the firmness profile
— Has a quilted European pillow top for added comfort and balance

Watch-outs

— May not provide enough support for heavier individuals or those who prefer firmer sleeping surfaces
— The memory foam layers may retain heat, potentially causing discomfort for hot sleepers
