Leesa Original: The Socially Conscious Foam Mattress
Leesa donates one mattress for every ten sold to charitable organizations. Beyond their social mission, the Original is a well-designed foam mattress with a distinctive three-layer construction that provides better airflow than most all-foam competitors.
Construction
2.5 inches of LSA200 foam (Leesa’s proprietary open-cell foam) → 2 inches of memory foam → 6 inches of high-density support foam. The open-cell LSA200 foam is specifically designed for breathability — better airflow than closed-cell memory foam in the comfort layer position. Total height: 10 inches.
Feel and Performance
Medium feel (5/10). The LSA200 foam is faster-responding than memory foam and provides a slightly more buoyant feel without full bounce. Pressure relief is good but not exceptional vs. thicker foam options. Motion isolation is very good. The 10-inch profile is slimmer than most competitors — works better with standard bed frames than extra-tall options.
