Since its launch in 2015, this flagship model has evolved and continues to deliver on its promise of comfort, versatility and affordability. Designed to cater to a wide range of sleepers, it strikes a balance that few mattresses achieve -- providing enough support for most without breaking the bank.While no mattress is perfect for everyone, the Leesa Original stands out as an easy pick for anyone seeking a fuss-free, comfortable and budget-friendly sleep solution. After testing hundreds of beds, I can confidently say this one hits the sweet spot for those who value quality and simplicity.First impressions of the Leesa Original mattressThe exterior design of the Leesa Original hasnt changed despite it receiving internal updates to the foams and this is a big positive. Leesa has its signature four-stripe design that is featured on all of its beds and makes them all visually appealing. Leesa Original Dillon Lopez/CNETOnce the mattress was fully off-gassed and inflated to its proper firmness level, which didnt take too long, my first impression was that it was incredibly comfortable in any sleeping position and that Leesa putting this under the memory foam category on its website isnt exactly correct.Yes, the bed does use memory foam but it doesnt feel all that much like memory foam with a slow-to-respond, dense feeling. It has a much more balanced feel that I think pretty much everyone will find comfortable enough to sleep on, if not super comfortable. Dillon Payne/CNETThe only people who should avoid the Lessa Original are people who are dead set on a memory foam mattress feel, those who want an especially firm or soft firmness profile or sleepers who want a coil mattress. If that doesnt sound like you, I think the Leesa Original should be a top choice.Leesa Original mattress firmness and feelLeesa Original feelThe feel of the Leesa Original mattress is what we call a neutral feel. Mattress feel is a spectrum with two poles: one end is a super responsive, buoyant and bouncy sensation, and the other end is a dense, slow-to-respond, sink-in type of sensation, with lots of room in between. Dillon Payne/CNETThe Leesa Original sits exactly in the middle of this spectrum because it doesnt lean too hard in one direction or another and achieves a really nice balance of bounce and sink-in that should work pretty well for everyone.There are plenty of people who have a strong preference for a specific type of mattress feel, but for people who want a balanced, neutral feel like this, it's ideal. It might also work really well for couples who have a hard time agreeing on mattress feel. I have a hard time picturing people trying out the Leesa Original and finding it uncomfortable.Leesa Original firmnessThe firmness profile of the Leesa Original is also right down the middle at a flat medium (4-6 out of 10), which means it should work fairly well for all sleeping positions. A medium profile works especially well for combination sleepers who split time between sleeping positions, and for couples who struggle to agree on firmness. Dillon Payne/CNETSince this is Leesas flagship mattress, this is expected because it's meant to appeal to the widest number of sleepers, and I think it accomplishes this well.According to our new Mattress Smasher 9000 device, the Leesa Original comes in at a 5.8 out of 10, which is nearly a perfect medium.Leesa Original mattress constructionThe construction of the Leesa Original is pretty standard -- it is roughly ten-inches-thick and it is made with three foam layers.A six-inch-thick layer of dense, supportive foamA two-inch-thick layer
