Leesa Mattress Vs Helix

Which Is The Best Mattress For Great Sleep?

Buying a new mattress online can be challenging, especially when choosing between two of today’s top mattress brands; Leesa Sleep and Helix Sleep. Our team did the research for you, using the information available across the web to make our pick. After comparing countless customer reviews, industry articles, mattress ratings, and of course the claims of the brands themselves, we’re here to share our top mattress pick, and ready to uncover the answers behind your most burning mattress-buying concerns.

Find out why Leesa Sleep is The Fascination’s top pick for the best online mattress brand of 2022, read the research and customer reviews that convinced us, and check out our thoughts on the Leesa mattress we bought.

In this review, we focus on Helix’s most popular mattress, the Helix Midnight Luxe Mattress, and Leesa’s most popular mattress, the Sapira Hybrid Mattress.

★★★★★

“We had a 2018 Serta hybrid and then a more comfortable foam mattress made by a manufacturer for Tempur-Pedic, and neither could compare to the comfort of this Leesa hybrid. It is wonderful to lie down without questioning how restful the night might be. This mattress is very supportive without being too firm. It cushions the body without sinking into the mattress, and there is no difficulty changing position and no motion carryover to disturb a partner. Leesa took the risk out of buying a mattress online sight-unseen, but sleeping on a bad mattress even for a few days is still a risk no one wants to take. Frankly, though, there has been nothing not to like about this mattress, and it has given quality sleep since night one. We highly recommend this Leesa hybrid mattress.”

The Midnight Luxe is Helix’s most popular mattress, and at first glance, is quite similar to Leesa’s Sapira. Both feature a hybrid design, including layers of premium foam, memory foam, and an innerspring layer for support. However, to ensure optimal temperature regulation, Helix recommends purchasing an additional product, a cooling topper, to get the most out of this mattress. For customers, that means paying an extra $200 on top of the mattresses over-$2,000 price tag.

Multiple customer reviews also express some concern over Helix’s motion transfer regulation and edge support.

★★★☆☆

“Not enough motion isolation and edge support for us. The firmness and comfort were fine. The reason we decided to return our queen was because there wasn’t enough motion isolation and edge support. We would wake each other up at night when one of us moved around, and it felt like we could roll off the bed when sleeping near the edge of the bed. The customer service and return process was top notch and much appreciated. We really respect the company for this and wish we would’ve enjoyed the mattress. “

– DUSTIN K.

Ultimately, after reviewing all of our research, we chose to purchase the Leesa Sapira Hybrid Mattress. The Sapira Hybrid Mattress is the perfect option for those looking to upgrade to a more premium, luxurious feel with pressure relief and support that lasts.

On the Sapira, we slept deeper, woke up feeling well-rested and energized, and loved the ergonomic, tension relieving design. The edge support is also fantastic and doesn’t collapse when compressed. If you’re looking for a better, balanced, comfortable sleep that won’t cost you multiple thousands, Leesa’s Sapira mattress is our #1 pick.

Here’s a breakdown of how it’s built. Take a closer look at the Sapira:

“It is so very comfortable! I haven’t slept this well in years. It’s soft enough to cradle, but not enough to sink. I love my mattress!”

Dedicated to providing a good night’s sleep for everyone, Leesa has quickly become one of the foremost mattress-in-a-box businesses. With the era of brick and mortar mattress stores largely over, Leesa launched in 2014 to meet the need and offer customers an easier way to shop. They currently offer five different mattress types in every size, along with every type of accessory: frames, foundations, pillows, sheets, and more. Beyond selling some of the most comfortable beds ever made, Leesa has dedicated themselves to ending bedlessness, donating over 39,000 mattresses to those in need. From good nights to good mornings, Leesa‘s ethically-made beds and bedding provide relief, support, and lasting comfort to anyone who sleeps on them.

Leesa is a mission-driven company and donates one mattress to those in need for every ten mattresses sold.

Shipping
Leesa mattresses are compressed, vacuum-sealed, and shipped in a compact box directly to your doorstep – a method originally pioneered by Leesa Sleep as one of the first direct-to-consumer, online mattress brands.

Both Leesa and Helix offer free ground shipping anywhere in the U.S. Leesa’s free ground shipping extends to customers in all 50 states.

Fulfillment & Processing
Leesa mattresses are made to order, right here in the US, and ship within 3-5 business days, post-purchase.

Helix mattresses are also made in the U.S., and ship within 3-10 days after an order is placed.

White-Glove Delivery Options
Leesa also offers a white-glove delivery option, which means they’ll send someone to help you set up your new mattress and (if needed) remove the bed you’re replacing along with any unwanted packaging. For Leesa, optional white-glove delivery costs a $150 flat fee.

Helix does not offer a white glove delivery option.

Because the majority of online mattress brands don’t operate out of a physical location (though you can find and experience Leesa mattresses in select retail locations like West Elm), it can be difficult to accurately assess qualities like mattress firmness, support, and comfort without interacting with the mattress itself.

To bridge the gap between the in-person mattress buying experience at physical mattress stores and the hands-off process of purchasing a mattress online, most online mattress companies offer a sleep trial period. This gives customers some time to test their new mattresses and return them if they aren’t satisfied.

Helix offers a 100-night sleep trial with a mandatory, 30-day break-in period. After the break-in period is complete, you can initiate a return if the mattress isn’t a good fit. For no extra charge, Helix will arrange to pick up the mattress from your home and transport it for recycling or donation.

Leesa’s sleep trial is 100 nights in length with no mandatory break-in period, but Leesa does recommend testing your mattress for at least 30 nights to allow your body to adjust to the premium level of ergonomic support (especially if your previous mattress wasn’t a supportive one). If you choose to return your mattress at any point within the first 100 days, Leesa will issue a full refund coordinate a free mattress pickup.

A major part of our mattress buying process involved taking a look at customer reviews and experiences. Here are a few of the highlights that helped us decide which mattress was worth the buy and which brand we’d trust to deliver the best night’s sleep:

Leesa Mattress Reviews

★★★★★

“I have never slept on a more comfortable mattress. It’s true… the mattress literally hugs and supports your body. For me, it has significantly lessened sleep discomfort associated with hip pain from biking, as well as morning stiffness. So glad my daughter, who has one, recommended it. Will also say that the mattress arrived within days of ordering it and it was easy to unpack. I’m using it with a standard box spring, which has been fine.”

MARIA

★★★★★

“I’ve had my Leesa cal king for about a year now. Every night when we crawl into bed we always mention how awesome it is. I can’t even get used to it. Every night I’m like, how is it possible to be astonished every single time I go to bed? I was literally just talking to my wife about how excited I was to go to bed in that masterpiece, and as we were fawning over it I thought, hey… we should probably actually leave a review. My back pain I’ve had since my twenties is basically gone now. I wake up more refreshed. As I ease into bed at night the worries and pains of the day melt away on this blissful magic cloud they’re trying to pass off as a bed. This needs a Nobel prize. In literature even. Just get them one. They’ve earned it.”

JAKE

★★★★★

“The Leesa Hybrid Mattress exceeds expectations… No more sore necks or low back pain for this side sleeper. I enjoy the overall feel and the bed sleeps cool. The strong edge support makes my full bed seem larger, I can sleep on the edge quite comfortably. Pleased side sleeper.”

Helix Mattress Reviews

★★★☆☆

“Good but not great. Comfortable, but not for me. Like my previous mattress I couldn’t stay asleep. With no real improvement on my sleep I had to look elsewhere. “

MATTHEW R.

★★★☆☆

“Not worth the money Mattress is ok, but I am not sure it is worth the amount of money we paid “

TABITHA N.

★★★★☆

“This mattress did not work for me. It was too firm for my back and I have had to go in a different direction to be able to sleep comfortably. The reason I am giving this mattress a higher rating is because of their customer service. I contacted them to return the mattress and I will say they have gone above and beyond to assist me in light of the issues I have had. I can recommend this company because even though their product wasn’t the right fit for me, they did everything they could do to make it right.”

LINDSEY

★★★★☆

“Comfortable but not cooling I have had my Helix Midnight luxe with glacio-cooling topper for about a month now and so far I am underwhelmed. I do not notice any extra cooling with the added topper, in fact I actually have been sweating more at night. The mattress itself is comfortable but nothing extraordinary and my sleep quality has not changed since switching to this mattress. I am giving it more time but may end up returning. “
