What owners single out
Heat retention emerged as a key complaint among buyers, mirroring concerns video reviewers likely raised about temperature control in foam mattresses.
In their words
“This is our second Leesa! So comfortable and my joints don’t fall asleep on this mattress so I’m sleeping better and everyone is happy!”

“This is a good quality bed. The liner feels good and looks nice, it inflated easily and is very cushy... unfortunately too soft for us and we already have back pain but this is giving us new low back pain we've never had plus our middle back pain, so although it feels comfortable we will be returning and finding something firmer.”
