Leesa mattress is a very poor fit for me--suggest an alternative?

Hi loraxc,

You’re right–I should not characterize my Leesa experience as exactly negative, just a very poor fit.

I would agree with this (and in all fairness it may be worth using less “inflammatory” language in your topic title). Buying a mattress online would be similar to buying a suit online and then finding out that it didn’t quite “fit” as well as you hoped for or that it didn’t just “feel” right when you wore it because of differences in the sizing and design between different manufacturers.

What felt “scary” for me is that I liked the Leesa okay for the first few days. The initial feel did not concern me.

There is also a break in and adjustment period with any new mattress over the course of the first few weeks as the materials lose any of their initial “false firmness” and the cover stretches a little and loses any initial stiffness it may have and your body adjusts to a sleeping surface that is different from what it’s used to so it’s not unusual at all that your experience on a brand new mattress will change over the course of the first few weeks (see post #3 here). Mattresses in a hotel or in a showroom will generally have already gone through the break in process.

I have not yet returned my Leesa, so I cannot speak to that part of the process.

This should be very simple and “painless”
