Reviewed by Amanda Hitchcock
Last Updated June 2022
The Bottom Line
If you're looking to upgrade your old, sagging mattress, or you bought a cheap foam mattress on Amazon and you're ready to trade up, a Leesa mattress is going to be one of your best bets. Leesa has managed to design insanely comfortable mattresses for a range of sleepers that rival competitors costing twice as much.
We tested the Leesa Hybrid Mattress (now called the Sapira Hybrid) for ourselves and simply put, it is an incredible mattress for the price – thousands less than comparable competitors – and offers an amazing night's sleep.
For these reasons, Leesa's Sapira Hybrid Mattress is our Top Mattress Pick for 2022.

Ordering and Unboxing The Sapira Hybrid Mattress
Leesa makes the process of mattress buying downright fun. Compare it to the horrible experience of buying a mattress in a store in the 90s. It's night and day. The website is slick and does a great job of laying out Leesa's full lineup of options.
As you can see below, with decent credit, we were able to easily qualify for 0% APR for 12 months. On a queen Sapira Hybrid, that's $133 / month payment with no interest. We thought this was amazing, and pretty much a no brainer?
The shipping was surprisingly fast for such an oversized package. We were pleasantly surprised to find that, after ordering our mattress on a Monday, it was on our doorstep that Thursday evening. From reading through pages of their reviews, it seems 3 days is pretty standard in terms of shipment time.
As far as unboxing goes, the process was really quite simple. The box is heavy, but if you're an able-bodied adult you should be able to shimmy and slide it into the bedroom of your choice. If you're going up stairs, we definitely recommend a second pair of hands.
This is how it works:
- Put your vacuum-sealed mattress onto your foundation / bed frame
- Use a box cutter to carefully cut the outer plastic layers, leaving the mattress sealed in the inner plastic
- Unfold the plastic-wrapped mattress and position flat across your foundation
- Cut across the bottom of the plastic seal and watch as your mattress slowly inflates with air
- Throw away all the plastic & turn on a fan or open a window to allow for offgassing of foams
Is the Sapira Hybrid Mattress Comfortable?
Put simply, hell yes it is!
I'm a side sleeper (mostly), and I was slightly worried that the mattress would be too firm for me. Not the case. My hips and shoulders gently sink in and support me just enough. The mattress feels plush, but supportive. The edge support is also fantastic. It doesn't collapse when you sit on it like the cheaper all-foam options tend to do.
Is the Sapira Hybrid Mattress a Good Value?
We've owned, tested and slept on all the Leesa competitors. And in terms of value for money, you can't beat the Leesa Hybrid. It stands up to competitors priced ~30% more, including Purple, Casper and Saatva.
The Full Leesa Mattress Lineup: Which mattress is best for you?
For this review, I chose to go with the Sapira Hybrid, which delivers the perfect balance of firmness and cushion and is an undeniably perfect fit for my personal sleep style. I sleep in all different positions, and the Hybrid completely adapts to my body without sinking in too much. It literally feels like laying on a cloud (but, like, a really supportive cloud).
However, the Hybrid isn’t the only mattress in Leesa’s lineup (and now I clearly need more bedrooms in my house so I can buy them all). Here’s a quick look at the other mattress options available from Leesa Sleep:
