If you’re a hot sleeper seeking cooler nights, you may want to consider the Leesa Sapira Chill mattress. As its name implies, it’s made with cooling materials and a construction designed to promote airflow and breathability. A hybrid mattress, the Sapira Chill combines top layers of soft foam with innerspring coils to create a balance between pressure relief and support.
I’m a certified sleep science coach and have been testing and reviewing mattresses for Sleepopolis for three years. In our studio in Charlotte, NC, I’ve worked with a team of expert testers to evaluate more than 330 mattresses using a rigorous testing methodology that’s designed to find which specific sleepers they’re most compatible with. The best mattresses typically earn high scores on these tests, indicating their quality and durability.
In addition to having our team personally test every mattress, Sleepoplis works with a network of medical professionals, including board-certified doctors, physical therapists, and registered nurses who review our findings for accuracy. We work especially closely with our chief medical advisor, Dr. Raj Dasgupta MD, FACP, FCCP, FAASM, who provides expert insight for different kinds of sleepers based on the latest research.
When I tested the Leesa Sapira Chill, I immediately noticed how cool-to-the-touch it felt. This was one of the first things that stood out to me, so I was pleased that it remained cool throughout all of our tests. I also found it very plush, with some great sinkage and body contouring. I think side sleepers will find a lot of cushioning that can relieve pressure at their hips and shoulders. I also really like this bed for back sleepers, as it’s supportive enough to keep the spine in a neutral, straight line.
The Leesa Sapira Chill is a hybrid mattress, available in three firmness levels. We tested the Medium-Firm model and felt it was just softer than average. It should be especially comfortable for back sleepers and side sleepers. The bed also has some effective cooling technology built into it, which helps to keep sleepers cool throughout the night.

What our tester says:
“Sleepers with joint pain can appreciate the soft, plush feel, which can reduce tension and stiffness at their pressure points. I also think back sleepers and side sleepers will be comfortable on this mattress.” – Riley Otis, staff writer
Leesa Sapira Chill Mattress Overview
The Leesa Sapira Chill is a hybrid mattress made with soft memory foam and supportive steel innerspring coils. It’s offered in three different firmness levels — Plush, Medium-Firm, and Firm. We tested the Medium-Firm model and thought it landed at a 6 out of 10 on our firmness scale, which is slightly softer than average. This feel and construction provides sleepers with a balance between support and pressure relief.
The bed is 14 inches tall and has a tufted pillow top that feels cool to the touch. It’s a bed-in-a-box, so it will ship directly to your door ready to be unpacked and set up. You can also opt for white-glove delivery, setup, and old mattress removal for a $199 fee.
This bed stood out to us for its plump, pillow-like feel that provides a cozy, hugging sensation. We also found excellent cooling abilities from this bed, which we awarded 4.5 out of 5 stars, so it’s a great pick for hot sleepers. When we combined all of our testing scores together, the Leesa Sapira Chill earned 4.3 stars overall.

Leesa Sapira Chill Value
We determine a mattress’s value by assessing whether the bed’s materials and performance quality match the price point. When I tested the Leesa, I found very high-quality materials, including a cooling cover, gel-infused memory foam, and supportive coils. All the foam inside this bed has been CertiPUR-US certified, meaning it’s free from harmful chemicals, heavy metals, and ozone depleters. The entire bed is also GREENGUARD Gold certified and has been third-party tested to meet strict emissions safety standards.
When it comes to price, the Leesa is one of the more expensive mattresses on the market, with a queen size costing $2,264 before discounts. While this may be typical for a luxury mattress, there are many beds on the market with similar materials and constructions that are more affordable. I think this bed is very high-quality and comes at a good value, but it could stand to be slightly cheaper.
What Is the Leesa Sapira Chill Made Of?
When we assess mattress materials, we cut directly into the side of the bed and evaluate each individual layer. This allows us to verify that what’s inside the bed matches the online description.
The Leesa Sapira Chill is a 14-inch tall mattress with a hybrid construction containing a cooling cover, several plush foam layers, and a layer of individually wrapped coils zoned for support. Since this bed is marketed as a cooling mattress, I looked closely for materials that would promote temperature regulation.
Cover – A cool-to-the-touch cover made from polyester, polyethylene, and spandex, which Leesa says are cooling fibers designed to keep the skin at a cool 88 degrees by drawing heat away from the body.
Quilt Foam Layer – A layer of foam quilted into the cover that has a quick response to pressure.
Comfort Layer – A layer of gel-infused memory foam that allows for body contouring while drawing heat away from the skin.
Response Layer – A layer of firmer memory foam that bounces back quickly and adds additional support.
Transition Layer – A layer of high-quality foam that provides pressure relief and eases the sleepers onto the coil layer.
Support Layer – A tall layer of breathable pocketed coils that are zoned for support, meaning their firmness fluctuates depending on where your body needs the most lift.
Leesa Sapira Chill Mattress Firmness
Firmness is one of the main factors customers pay attention to when looking for a new mattress. Since this factor is pretty subjective, and every sleeper has their own preference, we invited multiple expert testers to lie on the mattress on their backs, sides, and stomachs. Each tester provided us with their personal firmness rating, and then we found the average to create the final firmness score. The firmness scale goes from 1 to 10, with 1 being the softest and 10 being the firmest. For reference, a score of 6.5 out of 10 represents a true medium-firm mattress, which is the most common firmness preference among sleepers.
The Leesa Sapira Chill falls at a 6 out of 10 on our firmness scale. This means it’s just a touch softer than medium firm and offers more cushioning and sinkage around the body. When I tested this mattress, I found a marshmallowy feel that hugged my body. While I definitely felt more “in” the bed than “on” the bed, I still found enough support from the innerspring coils to lift my body and prevent too much sinkage.
I found this firmness level most compatible with side and back sleeping, which I’ll further explain later in this review. Overall, there’s more cushioning than lift, so while it may not be the best choice for stomach sleepers, it’s great for sleepers with joint pain.
Leesa Sapira Chill Mattress Performance
When we discuss a mattress’s “performance,” we’re referring to how well it scored when we put it through a series of tests to evaluate pressure relief, motion isolation, responsiveness, cooling, and edge support. I grabbed my fellow testers Erin Chiles, Asha Birjah, Caine Wilkes, and Meredith Day to help me assess the Leesa Sapira Chill in our Sleepopolis studio.
We performed both objective and subjective tests on this mattress to get a better understanding of how the mattress performs for different sleepers. Below, I’ll dive into each test and how the Leesa Sapira Chill performed.
Leesa Sapira Chill Pressure Relief Performance
Regardless of your preferred sleeping position or body type, pressure relief is an important factor to consider. A mattress can relieve pressure at the body’s most sensitive areas by providing enough sinkage and cushioning to cradle the joints and evenly distribute your weight. According to our Chief Medical Advisor Dr. Raj Dasgupta, soft memory foam is one of the best materials to provide pressure relief and prevent pain from forming over time.
We test pressure relief in mattresses using a specialized mat that we roll across the surface of the bed. Then, we bring in three testers of different body types and have them lie on the mat on their backs and sides. The mat is able to sense where more or less pressure is forming and translate the results into an easy-to-read color-coded graphic. Areas on the body in blue and green indicate good pressure relief, while red and yellow show higher pressure building.
We test these beds with testers who fall in the lightweight, average-weight, and heavy sleeper categories to show how the bed performs for different body types. Since heavy sleepers (categorized as anyone over 230 pounds) sink further into a mattress’s layers, they typically experience beds as softer and less supportive than average. On the contrary, lightweight sleepers (less than 130 pounds) find less sinkage and therefore often perceive beds as firmer.
When we tested the Leesa Sapira Chill, we found an average pressure relief score of 4.7 out of 5 stars in the side-sleeping position and 4.3 out of 5 stars in the back-sleeping position. When we average these scores together, we get an overall pressure rating of 4.5 stars.
The pressure map shows us each sleeper’s average pressure in pounds per square inch (PSI), which we then compare to the overall PSI average for each sleeping position. The overall side-sleeping PSI average is 14.9, so for a mattress to earn a high score here, we expect our testers to have lower PSI scores than that when lying in this position. Luckily, both our lightweight and average-weight testers had low PSI scores of 11.4 and 13.5, respectively. This means the mattress is doing an excellent job cushioning the body and preventing pressure buildup. When side sleeping, average-weight tester Erin Chiles said, “I’m getting enough sinkage in all the right places to keep my spine aligned. It’s plush but still supportive and firm.”
Our heavy tester, Caine Wilkes, had an average PSI of 17.1 when side sleeping on the Sapira Chill, so it may not be the best choice for sleepers over 230 pounds. While Caine felt decent spinal alignment, he could feel some pressure building in his hips and shoulders.
In the back-sleeping position, our lightweight and average-weight sleepers found the most pressure relief. The average mattress PSI in this position is 12.4, and these sleepers had PSI scores of 10.5 and 11.2, respectively. Lightweight tester Asha Birjah found enough lift to keep her hips aligned with her shoulders. “This bed feels spinalicious,” she said. “It’s filling in the gap at my lower back and cushiony enough to support my lumbar region.”
As with the side-sleeping position, our heavy tester had a higher PSI score than average in the back-sleeping position, coming in at 15.8. This indicates there’s too much pressure forming along his body, so pain may form or exacerbate. Caine said, “My hips are sinking a little too far into the mattress in this position, which is affecting my spinal alignment.”
Overall, this bed performed very well on our pressure relief test for our lightweight and average-weight testers in both the side- and back-sleeping positions. However, as we learned from Caine’s test results, this bed isn’t quite supportive enough for heavy sleepers. These folks should opt for something a bit firmer that provides more lift. They can find our top picks in our best mattress for heavy people roundup.
Leesa Sapira Chill Motion Isolation
Motion isolation is most important to people who sleep with a partner, pet, or child. If someone is tossing and turning next to you, a mattress with good motion isolation will absorb their movement and prevent it from reaching your side of the bed. This is especially appealing to light sleepers who are easily awakened, as it decreases the chance of sleep disruption. Dr. Raj Dasgupta also says that motion isolation can be an overall comfort indicator, as it promotes sound sleep and less waking up through the night. When we tested the Leesa Sapira Chill for motion isolation, we found an overall score of 3 out of 5 stars.
We start with a ripple test, which involves placing a full tub of water on one side of the bed and moving around on the other side. We then observe the water and whether our movement disturbs it. When I got in and out of the Leesa Sapira Chill, I noticed minimal movement in the tub, especially when getting out of bed, so I gave this part of the test stars. However, I saw some larger waves rippling along the surface of the water when I was switching between sleeping positions, so I gave that section 3 stars.
Next, I put on a blindfold and lay down on one side of the mattress. One of my colleagues then got in and out of bed next to me and rolled around, while I observed how my side was affected. When my testing partner got in and out of the bed, I could feel it, but it wasn’t too disturbing. I felt a lot more disturbance when they switched sleeping positions, as their motion clearly traveled to my side of the bed. I could feel my body being jostled around heavily, and I don’t think I would have been able to sleep through it, so I gave this test 2 stars.
Based on its 3-star motion isolation, I don’t think this bed is the best choice for couples if one or both partners tend to toss and turn. If you’re typically a sound sleeper, you might be able to sleep through the night, but light sleepers will probably feel every little movement their partner makes.
All in all, I’d say that the Leesa Sapira Chill has good motion isolation. I think smaller movements, like tossing and turning, should be negligible. However, you may feel the bed move a bit whenever your partner gets on and off the bed.
Leesa Sapira Chill Responsiveness
When we talk about how responsive a mattress is, we mean how quickly it returns to its original shape after weight has been applied. We also consider how easy it is to move around on the bed, which can be important for combination sleepers to prevent them from getting stuck in the bed’s layers. Since the Leesa Sapira Chill contains multiple layers of soft memory foam, we didn’t find it super-bouncy or responsive during testing and gave it only 2 stars in this category.
Switch test: First, I evaluated how easy it was to switch from one position to the next on this mattress. Despite its layer of springy coils, I felt the top layers of foam hugging my body and preventing me from seamlessly rolling from one side to the other. I think a lot of my mobility was limited by the pillow top, which had deep tufting that kept me in one place. While the coils added some slight bounce, it wasn’t enough to fully spring me from one position to the next, so I gave this test 2 stars.
Responsiveness test: Next, I tested how long it takes for the mattress to bounce back. I placed a 53-pound kettlebell on the mattress and allowed it to fully sink in. Then, I pulled the weight straight up and used a stopwatch to record how long it took for the bed to return to its original shape. It took less than 0.5 seconds for the bed to rise, which earned it 5 stars on this test.
Sinkage test: For this test, I grabbed the kettlebell again and placed it directly on the center of the mattress. Once it completely sank in, I used a ruler to measure how many inches it sank down. I measured approximately 4 inches of sinkage, which qualifies as moderate sinkage. However, I want to note that it’s only 0.1 inches away from falling in the deep sinkage category.
Bounce test: Finally, we tested how bouncy the mattress is by climbing 6 feet above the bed and dropping a 25-pound steel ball onto its surface. A yardstick on the wall allowed us to see exactly how high the ball rebounded. On the Leesa Sapira Chill, the ball bounced 16 inches into the air, which is slightly higher than the 15.8-inch average. We consider a bounce higher than 12 inches to be “high bounce,” which, in this case, is likely due to the mattress’s layer of springy coils.
Leesa Sapira Chill Cooling
If you run hot at night, you may benefit from a mattress with cooling abilities to help dissipate heat and regulate body temperature. As the name suggests, the Leesa Sapira Chill was designed to be a cooling mattress for hot sleepers. We put this claim to the test using a thermal gun, a cover test, and a feel test to create an overall cooling score of 4.5 stars.
Thermal gun test: We use a thermal gun to get a quantifiable look at how a mattress responds to body heat. First, we record the initial resting temperature of the bed. Next, a tester lies on it for five minutes and then records the bed’s temperature again. If the temperature increases by fewer than 5 degrees, we consider it to have excellent cooling. An increase of 5 to 10 degrees indicates good cooling, 10 to 15 degrees indicates decent cooling, and more than 15 degrees indicates poor cooling.
When I performed the thermal gun test, the Leesa Sapira Chill went from 68.1 degrees to 73.1 degrees. This is a 6-degree increase, which qualifies as good cooling, earning the bed 4.5 stars.
Cover test: Before I lay down for the thermal gun test, I felt the surface of the mattress and observed its initial feel. I immediately noticed that the bed was cool to the touch, just as Leesa claimed it would be. It felt much cooler than room temperature, which felt soothing on the skin.
Feel test: As I was lying on the mattress during the thermal gun test, I paid attention to my body and whether I noticed the bed heating up. I thought maybe the initial cool feel would go away after a few minutes, but it stayed present the entire time. I couldn’t feel the mattress heating up beneath me at all, so I think it’s a great choice for hot sleepers.
Leesa Sapira Chill Edge Support
Edge support is pretty much exactly what it sounds like — how supportive the edge of a mattress is. Ideally, the perimeter of a bed should be just as strong as the very center, allowing sleepers to fully spread out without feeling like they’re about to fall off. This can make the mattress feel larger to couples, as both sleepers won’t be crowding the center to get the best support. Strong edge support can also appeal to older adults and people with mobility issues, as it allows them to bear down on the side of the bed when getting in and out. We tested the Leesa Sapira Chill’s edge support using a tape measure test, a seated test, and a full body test to create a final score of 3.4 stars.
Tape measure test: For this test, we simulate how the edges will perform for sleepers of different weights. We stack weighted plates together to create a 99-pound stack, a 154-pound stack, and a 198-pound stack. These stacks are placed directly on the edge of the mattress, and a tape measure shows how many inches the layers compressed. From the lightest to the heaviest stack, the sinkage went from 4 inches to 5 inches to 6 inches. The edges clearly began to falter as the weight was increased. For reference, the Leesa Sapira Chill is a 14-inch mattress, so 6 inches of sinkage takes away nearly half its height. When we combine the ratings from all three stacks, this bed gets an average score of 3 stars.
Seated test: I then tested the edge support by sitting directly on the side of the bed with my feet planted on the floor. I initially felt a bit unstable, as I could feel the top layers of foam compressing under my weight. The closer to the very edge I sat, the more I felt like I was sliding off. However, I still felt a decent amount of lift from the coils below, which prevented me from sinking any further. I thought the edge support was better than average, especially for a softer bed, so I gave the seated test 4 stars.
Full body test: I felt more secure when lying down near the edge of the bed. On my back and stomach, the edges felt just as stable as the center of the mattress, and my weight was evenly supported. When I slept on my side, my weight was less evenly distributed, and I was worried about potentially toppling over. I overall thought the edges were solid, but not the strongest I’ve ever seen, so I gave this test 4 stars.
Leesa Sapira Chill Mattress Performance For Couples
If you sleep with a partner, motion isolation, cooling, responsiveness, and edge support are the most important performance factors to consider. Based on the Leesa Sapira Chill’s performance in these categories, I think it could be a decent choice for some couples, but those with specific sleeping concerns may not be satisfied.
This bed performed exceptionally well on the cooling test, earning 4.5 stars, so hot-sleeping couples won’t have to worry about overheating. Although the edge support earned 3.4 stars overall, I felt solid when lying down. While the edge support isn’t super strong when sitting, I think couples will be able to spread out when sleeping without issue.
Since this bed only earned 3 stars for motion isolation, you may want to consider whether you and your partner toss and turn at night, as you’re likely to feel each other’s movement. Sexually active couples might also have a harder time moving around, since the responsiveness was rated 2 stars.
Other Performance Factors to Consider
Pressure relief, motion isolation, cooling, responsiveness, and edge support are the main performance factors most important to sleepers. However, there are a few additional things you’ll want to consider before confirming your purchase.
Sex
Our score for sex is created by combining our responsiveness, cooling, and edge support scores. Responsiveness is important because it allows couples to seamlessly switch positions without getting trapped in the bed’s layers. Cooling also helps prevent couples from overheating, while strong edges let them use the entire surface area of the bed.
Based on the 4.5-star cooling, 3.4-star edge support, and 2-star responsiveness, the Leesa Sapira Chill earns 3.3 stars overall for sex. I think couples will have a hard time moving around on this mattress, as they’ll likely find themselves stuck in the soft foam layers. I’m also not confident in the edges’ ability to properly support the weight of two people. However, the cooling score indicates that things won’t get too steamy, which is always a plus.
Noise
Our tester Meredith Day evaluated the Leesa Sapira Chill for noise and gave it 5 stars. She was especially impressed by how quiet the spring coils were because this part of the bed is known for creaking. “We tried pressing on them, switching positions, and jumping on the mattress, and none of these activities produced any squeaking from the spring layer,” she said. “The foam layer and the pillow top are both completely silent.”
Base Compatibility
If you own an adjustable base, this mattress may not be the best match. When Meredith put the Leesa Sapira Chill on an adjustable base in the zero-gravity setting, she noticed a large gap where the mattress and base did not meet. When sitting on the bed, it refused to bend and conform to the base, so she rated the compatibility 1 star.
Durability
If a mattress is durable, you’ll be able to use it for a long time without worrying about the materials deteriorating. We assess durability by looking at the quality of the materials, the bed’s support and edge support scores, and its warranty. High-quality materials and a strong support system are key to preventing premature sagging. The warranty also gives us an idea of how long the brand expects its mattress to hold up.
Overall, I think the Sapira Chill is a durable mattress. Not only did the bed obtain third-party certifications for the quality of its materials and construction, but its layer of steel coils keeps the overall structure standing strong. I will note that the edge support isn’t the strongest, so I would look out for sagging along the sides of the bed as time goes on. However, Leesa provides a limited lifetime warranty, which earned us 4.5 stars, so you are covered if the mattress sags more than 1.5 inches.

Leesa Sapira Chill Sleeping Position and Body Weight
There are two elements that will largely determine how a mattress feels for you — your body type and preferred sleeping position. For example, what feels firm to a lightweight side sleeper might be too soft for an average-weight stomach sleeper. For this reason, we tested the Leesa Sapira Chill using three testers of different sizes and had them try the bed on their sides, backs, and stomachs. Below, I’ve created a guide to each body type and sleeping position. Simply find your weight and typical sleeping position to see how the bed may feel for you.
Before we dive into our recommendations, though, we want to recognize that people come in all shapes and sizes, and people of every size deserve a mattress that works for their body type. We use the weight categories light, average, and heavy to more easily categorize sleepers based on how mattresses will perform for their body type, as most mattresses are designed for the group we call “average” (130 to 230 pounds).
As a general takeaway, lighter sleepers don’t require as much support as average-weight sleepers, and mattresses will tend to feel firmer to them. On the other hand, heavy sleepers need more support than average-weight sleepers and sink into the mattress more. As far as sleeping positions go, side sleepers tend to need a softer mattress while stomach sleepers usually need a firmer, more supportive one. Back sleepers are usually somewhere in the middle.
Is the Leesa Sapira Chill a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – These sleepers should find enough lift to promote spinal alignment while also getting enough cushioning for additional lumbar support.
- Light Side Sleepers – There’s enough cushioning on this bed to relieve pressure at the hips and shoulders, making it a great match for lightweight side sleepers.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – Lightweight stomach sleepers should find enough support to keep their hips lifted without compromising spinal alignment.
Is the Leesa Sapira Chill a Good Mattress for Average-Weight Sleepers (130–230 pounds)?
- Average-Weight Back Sleepers – This bed is a great match for these sleepers, as it helps keep the spine in a straight line while still providing plush comfort.
- Average-Weight Side Sleepers – The soft layers of foam do a great job relieving pressure around the joints in this position, while the coil layer provides enough support to keep the spine aligned.
- Average-Weight Stomach Sleepers – This bed is too soft to lift the hips in line with the shoulders and promote proper spinal alignment.
Is the Leesa Sapira Chill a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 230 pounds)?
- Heavy Back Sleepers – This mattress is not firm or supportive enough for heavy sleepers in any sleeping position.
- Heavy Side Sleepers – See above.
- Heavy Stomach Sleepers – See above.

Our Review Process
At Sleepopolis, our team of certified sleep science coaches personally test each mattress. We start by unboxing the mattress to figure out how difficult (or easy) it is to get the mattress from the box to the bed. Then, we spend time lying on the bed in different positions, taking time to assess it on our backs, stomachs, and sides. Next, we perform our Sleepopolis tests, using specialized tools to measure qualities like motion transfer, bounce, and pressure relief. Our last step is to open up the mattress and take a look at each layer. These steps allow us to give our final verdict on the mattress.

Yes, you have 100 nights to sleep on the Leesa Sapira Chill before it becomes ineligible for returns. Leesa has a break-in period, so it only begins accepting returns 30 days after delivery to give your body time to adjust to the mattress.
How does the Leesa Sapira Chill mattress ship?
The Leesa Sapira Chill is a bed-in-a-box mattress, so it will arrive at your door compressed and ready to unwrap and inflate. Leesa offers free shipping on all mattresses within the United States.
What type of base can I use with the Leesa Sapira Chill mattress?
Leesa says its mattresses should only be used on a solid foundation, such as a platform bed or bed frame with wooden slats. The company doesn’t recommend using a box spring, as it can alter the feel of the mattress. We also wouldn’t recommend using an adjustable base, as the bed doesn’t bend and conform when the base moves.
Is the Leesa Sapira Chill mattress made in the USA?
Yes, all Leesa mattresses are designed and manufactured in the U.S.
