Summary: The Leesa Original Mattress is a mid-range, all-foam model that's supportive for most sleep positions. In our Leesa Original mattress review, we found it most comfortable in back and side sleeping positions, and would recommend it to those who prefer a firmer mattress. Its top layer of breathable foam and twill fabric cover will sufficiently wick away heat – which is good news for hot sleepers. There's three internal layers, the first of which has a 2-inch layer of cooling foam, followed by a 2-inch middle layer of contouring memory foam and 6 inches of core support foam as a base layer. These layers are topped off by a soft, breathable cover which will keep you cool and comfortable all night.

Price history: To mark 4th of July, Leesa Sleep has knocked 30% off the best-selling Original mattress, which means you can save as much as $495.

Are mattresses-in-a-box worth your money?

Mattresses-in-a-box are more popular than ever and that's thanks to their affordable prices and fast, free shipping. The best mattresses in a box are simply regular mattresses that have been compressed and tightly bound before being delivered in small easy to manoeuvre box. These mattresses usually then take up to 24 hours to fully expand before you can sleep on them.

Mattresses in a box are cheaper than traditional styles with the average cost of a queen-size boxed mattress from a good quality brand coming in at under $1,000, but have the same high quality as traditional flat beds. You can also choose from a variety of designs including memory foam, latex and hybrid so you don’t have to compromise on comfort. If you need a new bed fast then buying a mattress in a box is the best way to go.
