Mattresses are a sensitive subject at our house. My husband and I have slept on the same mattress for years — in fact, we’ve moved it through three houses — so that gives you an idea of just how long we’ve had it. I’ve wanted a new mattress for a long time, but my husband is hesitant to take the plunge. New mattresses feel like a big decision: the cost, the time spent researching, and the risk of choosing the wrong one can be overwhelming, so we often avoid the topic altogether.
I want a mattress that feels luxurious, is comfortable, and is reasonably priced. Does that even exist? We also dread moving our current mattress to a new home — it’s so heavy it feels dangerous to lift. The idea of hauling that beast down stairs is enough to make us procrastinate. And who wants to buy a new mattress and regret it for years?
Recently a mattress company reached out to me. What caught my attention was not only the product quality but also that it was affordable, came with a 100-night return policy, and had strong reviews. Even better: it ships compressed in a manageable box. That sounded ideal. Just when I was ready to persuade my husband to try it, my daughter Kylee texted saying she needed a mattress for her guest room. Since we’ll probably be staying in her guest room for a while before we move, it made perfect sense for her to order it first.
We don’t need a new mattress until our new house is ready, so I suggested Kylee buy one for her guest room. Her three-story townhouse in Seattle’s Magnolia neighborhood is adorable, but getting furniture up to the second and third floors is always a challenge — you may remember her sofa story. She was excited that this mattress would arrive in a box small enough to carry upstairs easily. I’ll let her share the story.
Hi — Kylee here. I’ve been planning to make our guest room cozy for visitors, and the first priority was replacing the saggy mattress. My mom told me about the Leesa mattress she’d heard about and it sounded perfect. I’d never bought a mattress before — ours were always hand-me-downs — but ordering this one turned out to be the easiest experience ever.
The mattress arrived by mail in a box about the size of a small fridge, and I could hardly believe a mattress was inside. My sister Courtney and I were able to carry it into the house ourselves. Ordering online was convenient — no salesperson required — and Leesa offers a 100-night trial, so we could try it risk free and return it if it didn’t work out.
We brought the boxed mattress up to the small guest room on the third floor, wondering how it could possibly expand into a full mattress in such a small space.
We unpacked it and watched as it expanded to its full size on the brass bed. The room is cozy and cramped for photos, so it was a relief that setting up the mattress was easy and straightforward.
The 10-inch mattress is available in all standard sizes and is built with three distinct foam layers, including two inches of memory foam and two inches of a latex-like foam called Avena™, which is perforated to improve airflow and help maintain a cool surface. I also love that for every ten mattresses sold, one is donated to a shelter.
We’ve been using the guest room mattress for watching TV and movies in the evenings, and so far it’s been very comfortable. No more sagging mattress — our guests will have a much nicer stay. It feels great to have a real guest room with a brand-new mattress, and I know my mom is eager for my dad to try it and feel reassured about buying a new mattress himself.
