Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress Review
Is the Leesa Sapira Hybrid a Good Mattress for You?
Before we get into the details, I want to take a minute to address the most important question: Will the Leesa Sapira Hybrid meet your sleep needs?Who I recommend the Leesa Sapira Hybrid mattress for
- A lot of side sleepers who like a more responsive mattress should be happy on the Leesa Sapira Hybrid. It offers the pressure relief these folks need around the shoulders and hips, but you won’t sink too far into this bed.
- Back sleepers should also be happy on this Leesa. It offers a great blend of pressure relief and support, and should help these sleepers keep their spines neutrally aligned.
- The motion isolation, edge support, and breathable pocketed coils in this mattress make it a good choice for couples (keep reading below to learn more about those terms). If you sleep with a partner and like a soft feel, I’d recommend checking out this mattress.
Who I don’t recommend the Leesa Sapira Hybrid mattress for
- The Leesa Sapira Hybrid is a bit too soft for stomach sleepers. These folks need a firmer mattress that will do a better job keeping their hips and shoulders in line with each other.
- Memory foam lovers looking for an ultra-plush feel probably won’t love this mattress. It doesn’t offer the deep sinkage these sleepers may be looking for.
- I don’t think this mattress would be supportive enough for heavier sleepers, weighing more than 250 pounds. We recommend these people to check out our best mattresses for heavy people page.
How Firm is the Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress?
Now that you have an overview of the Leesa Sapira Hybrid, let’s get into how this mattress feels, starting with firmness. Firmness is subjective and can change a lot depending on one’s body weight and preferred sleep position. To address this issue, I had a few coworkers sit on this bed to help decide on an average firmness rating for the Leesa Sapira Hybrid.
Ultimately, I rated it as a 6 out of 10 on the mattress firmness scale. The industry standard for medium firmness is 6.5 out of 10, so the Leesa Sapira Hybrid is a little softer than average.
I experienced a nice balance of pressure relief and support as I stretched out on the bed. Though I could feel the top layers of foam filling in the space at my lower back and slightly hugging my shoulders and hips, I never felt overly “stuck-in” the mattress.
The Leesa’s blend of contouring and responsiveness might appeal to combination sleepers who are willing to sacrifice a little bit of bounce for some additional pressure relief. Combo sleepers who sleep on their backs and sides might especially like the Leesa Sapira Hybrid. They’ll be able to change positions fairly easily, but still get the sinkage they need at the shoulders and hips when they’re on their sides at night.

Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress Performance
Firmness isn’t the only thing to consider when choosing a new mattress. Below, I’ll walk you through a couple of tests I used to examine how this bed will perform for different types of sleepers.Testing the Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress in Different Sleeping Positions
Depending on your body weight and preferred sleeping position, you’ll have different support needs. Read on below to learn how the Leesa Sapira Hybrid performs for different body types.Is the Leesa Sapira Hybrid a Good Mattress for Light Sleepers (Under 130 pounds)?
- Light Back Sleepers – These sleepers should like this bed. They’ll get a nice balance of pressure relief and support on this hybrid.
- Light Side Sleepers – Lightweight side sleepers should find the Leesa Sapira Hybrid comfortable. It should offer them a nice amount of cushion around the hips and shoulders.
- Light Stomach Sleepers – This hybrid isn’t quite supportive enough to keep these sleepers’ hips from sinking out of alignment with their shoulders. I’d recommend these folks opt for one of our best innerspring mattresses instead.
Is the Leesa Sapira Hybrid a Good Mattress for Average Weight Sleepers (130 – 250 pounds)?
- Average Weight Back Sleepers – These sleepers should really like this bed. They’ll feel its top layers of foam filling in the space at the lower back for some nice relief, but they shouldn’t feel glued to the bed.
- Average Weight Side Sleepers – These sleepers should feel comfortable on this bed, but if you prefer a really soft feel it might not work for you. You may potentially sink through its top layers to land on the pocketed coil layer below, which may lead to some pressure at the hips and shoulders. If that’s a concern for you, our best soft mattresses roundup might have some better options.
- Average Weight Stomach Sleepers – The Leesa Sapira Hybrid is much too soft for these sleepers. Strict stomach sleepers should look for a firmer mattress to bolster the spine and prevent any sort of bowing at the lower back. Our best mattress for stomach sleepers page is a good place to start.
Is the Leesa Sapira Hybrid a Good Mattress for Heavy Sleepers (over 250 pounds)?
- Heavy Back, Side, and Stomach Sleepers – The Leesa Sapira Hybrid is just a bit too soft for any heavy people. They’ll need a bed that features firmer coil support to ensure they get the durability they need. I’d recommend checking out our best mattresses for heavy people page if that sounds like you.
Leesa Sapira Hybrid Pain Relief Performance
Pain relief is closely tied to pressure relief, or a bed’s capacity for relieving pressure at sensitive pressure points along the body, such as the shoulders, hips, and lower back. To assess pressure relief, I like to stretch out on a pressure map. As I move around the bed, the map captures the force exerted by my body in real time, and then creates a “map” to illustrate that force. Areas of low pressure are indicated in blue and areas of high pressure are in red.
Back Pain – Looking at my back sleeping graphic, the blue at my back in the map tells me the Leesa Sapira Hybrid is great for relieving pressure at the lower back. As for sleeping on my side, you can see some yellow and red forming — showing side sleepers with back pain may want a softer mattress. Stomach sleepers with back pain are going to want a firmer bed, so they’re hips can be elevated.
Shoulder Pain – On my back, you can see all blue in my shoulder area, which is a great sign for back sleepers with shoulder pain. As for sleeping on my side, you can see there’s a bit of yellow and red forming around my shoulders on my side. That tells me if you have shoulder pain, you might feel a bit of pressure and discomfort in this area. This will be too soft of a mattress to help stomach sleepers with shoulder pain.
Hip Pain – The yellow forming around my hips while side sleeping tells me this mattress will not be pressure-relieving enough for side sleepers with hip pain. I’d recommend they opt for a memory foam mattress instead. However, the blue around my back while back sleeping shows me this mattress is good at relieving pressure in that area for back sleepers with hip pain. Again, it’s too soft of a mattress to alleviate pain for stomach sleepers.
Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress Performance for Couples
The best mattress for couples combines motion isolation, responsiveness, cooling features, and strong edges. Read on below to learn more about those terms and see how the Leesa Sapira Hybrid stacks up.Motion Transfer
Motion transfer is the amount of movement detectable from one side of the bed to the other. This will clue you in to how bothered you’ll be by a partner tossing and turning at night. To illustrate this bed’s motion transfer, I dropped a 10-pound steel ball from heights of four inches, eight inches, and 12 inches — and measured the disturbance it caused: the bigger the lines, the bigger the disturbance.
These are pretty good motion transfer results, especially considering the fact this is a hybrid bed. This tells me you’re unlikely to feel too disturbed by a partner tossing and turning at night.
Sex
The best mattress for sex is easy to move around and change positions on. The Leesa’s responsive pocket springs help bring some bounce, making it so you won’t have trouble moving around on the bed. This tells me it’s a good option for sex.Cooling
Couples overheat more quickly than solo sleepers, so it’s important for them to have a mattress that sleeps cool. The Leesa’s hybrid construction encourages airflow, and hole-punched foams prevent it from trapping too much body heat. All in all, I’d say this mattress does an average job cooling. It doesn’t sleep hot, but it’s not incredibly cooling either. Particularly hot sleepers might want to opt for one of our best cooling mattresses instead.
Edge Support
Edge support is a measure of whether or not you’ll be able to sleep all the way on the edge of the bed and still feel supported. A mattress with great edge support feels a little bigger because you have more surface area to sleep on (which is great for couples). I was pleasantly surprised by the edge support on the Leesa Sapira Hybrid. I rolled all the way to the edge of the mattress and still felt well-supported. However, the edges aren’t reinforced, so you can feel the coils if touching the side of the bed.What’s the Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress Made Of?
The 11-inch Leesa Sapira Hybrid features a layered combination of poly foam, memory foam, and pocketed coils. This combination of materials creates a nice blend of support and pressure relief. Let’s take a look under the cover to see how Leesa manages to pull this off. Cover – The quilted mattress cover is a soft knit blend that feels really cozy to the touch. It also features a fun striped design with shapes. Comfort Layer – Next up is a layer of hole-punched poly foam, and below that is a layer of memory foam. The memory foam below the poly foam layer really dominated the mattress’s feel for me, so I considered it part of the Leesa Sapira Hybrid’s comfort layer. The hole-punched poly foam works to add some responsiveness and breathability to the memory foam, so you get to enjoy all the body-contouring of a memory foam mattress without sacrificing responsiveness or cooling features. Transition Layer – Up next, you’ll hit a thin transition layer of poly foam. This material is mostly here to help ease the sleeper from the soft foams up top into the firmer pocketed coil layer below. Support Layer – The main support system of the mattress is made up of a layer of pocketed coils. These coils are firm and bouncy, working to lift the sleeper up and out of the structure. They’re also individually wrapped, which helps promote airflow throughout the mattress. Another feature I like about this section is that it extends all the way to the edge of the bed to offer some extra edge support. Base Layer – To round things out, Leesa snuck in a thin layer of high-density support foam on the very bottom. This section is really just here to give the coils something to bounce off of.
Leesa Sapira Hybrid Unboxing and Off-Gassing
Like all bed-in-a-box models, the Leesa Sapira Hybrid will need a few hours to decompress and off-gas before you sleep on it. The Leesa does release a slight chemical odor during off-gassing, but it’s no smellier than any other bed-in-a-box. Any odor should dissipate within about 24 hours as long as you leave your new bed in a well-ventilated room. Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress
The Leesa Sapira Hybrid mattress combines gentle foams with pocketed coils for a one-two punch of pressure relief and support. Back sleepers who like a more responsive mattress should be really happy on the Leesa Sapira.

My Final Thoughts about the Leesa Sapira Hybrid
Let’s wrap things up with a few of my personal favorite features about the Leesa Sapira Hybrid, and a few of my complaints about this mattress.My favorite things about the Leesa Sapira Hybrid mattress
I’m a big fan of the blend of pressure relief and support this mattress offers. And I think side sleepers and back sleepers will also really enjoy the feel of this medium-soft hybrid. I also really like that I don’t need to sacrifice cushioning for responsiveness on the Leesa Sapira Hybrid. I get the sinkage I like without sacrificing the mobility I need. Other combination sleepers might agree with me on this. And finally, I’m really happy with the edge support and motion transfer scores this bed received. Couples who don’t want to be disturbed by a restless partner or who like to spread out over their entire mattress should also enjoy these features.
My complaints about the Leesa Sapira Hybrid mattress
Stomach sleepers are likely to find the Leesa Sapira Hybrid too soft. I’d recommend heading over to our best firm mattress guide to find a better option in order to promote spinal alignment while you sleep. I also think sleepers on the hunt for a super bouncy bed with a ton of lift might not enjoy this Leesa, so if you really dislike feeling “hugged” by your mattress, this Leesa could feel uncomfortable to you. On the other hand, it also doesn’t have that slow-moving, memory foam feel a lot of people enjoy. The Leesa is somewhat in between.How Much Does the Leesa Sapira Hybrid Cost?

Leesa Sapira Hybrid Vs.
Now that we’ve gone over the Leesa Sapira Hybrid with a fine-tooth comb, let’s see how it fares against some of its competitors on the market, namely the Casper Hybrid and Bear Hybrid.Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress vs Casper Hybrid Mattress
- The Casper Hybrid is also a bed-in-a-box hybrid, built with layers of gentle foam and pocketed coils.
- One big difference between these two beds is that the Casper Hybrid has zoned support for targeted pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. So sleepers suffering from back pain might prefer the Casper.
- The Casper is a medium-firm mattress. I especially like this firmness level for back and combination sleepers.
- Interested in the Casper? Read our full Casper Hybrid mattress review. You can also check out the Casper vs Leesa mattress review to see how the original Casper and Leesa mattresses compare.
Casper The One Mattress
Casper’s “The One” is an all-foam mattress that is a great option for back sleepers who want a balance of support and pressure relief. Combination sleepers will appreciate this mattress’s responsiveness, which makes it easy to change positions throughout the night.

Paul, Casper customer
Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress vs Bear Hybrid Mattress
- Like the Leesa Sapira Hybrid, the Bear Hybrid has a medium-soft feel. But it offers a bit more lift than the Leesa, which could be great for those after a little extra mobility.
- I’d recommend the Bear and Leesa Sapira Hybrids to side sleepers, though the Bear might feel just a little more plush.
- Active sleepers might like the Bear Hybrid, which uses materials that may speed up muscle recovery.
- Get all the details at the full Bear Hybrid mattress review.
Bear Star Hybrid Mattress
We found a lot to love in the Bear Star Hybrid. While the lift of its pocketed coil system will leave you feeling more “on top” of the mattress than “in” it, its top layers of memory foam are going to provide you with plenty of pressure-relieving sinkage.
