Which Mattress Should You Buy?

The mattresses earning the title for “best overall” from each brand have the highest overall performance. Overall performance is determined by scores from 8 different categories including cooling, motion transfer, response time, edge support, sex performance, pressure relief, off-gassing, and company.

Sinkage and bounce are also taken into consideration, but they are not direct scoring factors.

Between Purple and Leesa, the two top recommendations are Purple and Leesa Sapira.

Looking at Purple vs. Leesa Sapira, these two mattresses are strong performers. While both have above-average performance scores, the Leesa is technically the better mattress (but also costs an extra $100 for a queen-sized mattress).

They both have moderate sinkage and very high bounce, giving the mattresses similar feels. But I will note, the Purple has a bit more pushback, especially for lighter sleepers.

Purple excels for cooling, low levels of motion transfer, and fast material response. The Leesa Sapira excels in all three areas as well.

The biggest disadvantage for each mattress is edge support, but it is significantly weaker on the Purple than the Sapira.

The table below shows the overall performance score of every mattress we’ve tested from each brand. In total, 19 mattresses were tested for this comparison.

After comparing 7 Purple mattresses, the brand average score is 8.31. After comparing 12 Leesa mattresses, the brand average is 8.93.

Factoring the average performance score across all 320+ mattresses tested to date (8.55), Purple has a below-average performance, and Leesa has an above-average performance.

Leesa also holds the price advantage as well, with an average price tag of $1,573 (for a queen), whereas Purple’s average price is $2,127. Opting for Leesa can save an average of $555.

But these are very different mattresses, especially in their feel. Leesa has options that rely on traditional foam, which offers deeper sinkage and a more dramatic hug around your body. On the other hand, Purple’s design uses its special grid material that offers less sinkage but higher ease of movement (more bounce and faster response).

Looking at all available mattresses we’ve tested, Purple ranges in firmness from 5 to 6.5 out of 10, and Leesa mattresses range from 4 to 8 out of 10.

Therefore, Purple will not be your best bet if you’re looking for something especially soft or firm. Meanwhile, Leesa can offer both.

Some models from Leesa, like the Oasis Chill, Reserve, and Sapira Chill, offer multiple firmness options. Note, our testing data was performed on the medium-firm (5.5 or 6) versions of these mattresses.

Not sure which firmness you need? Your ideal mattress firmness depends on two major factors—sleeping position and body weight. With the right firmness, your body and spine will maintain proper alignment when sleeping

Lightweight sleepers or those who sleep on their side tend to need a softer mattress. By comparison, heavier sleepers or those who sleep on their back or stomach tend to need more support and a firmer feel.

This comparison, in total, is looking at 7 Purple mattresses and 12 Leesa mattresses, (excluding discontinued models).

Below, we have a deep dive comparison on 6 popular mattresses — 3 from Purple and 3 from Leesa.

Both Purple and Leesa mattresses have equally impressive cooling performance. Each brand manages an average cooling 9.3, where the average score is 8.6.

Both Purple and Leesa have mattresses with a perfect 10 out of 10 cooling score as well. The Purple mattress and the Leesa Sapira are among the best for each brand when it comes to cooling.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding cooling.

Cooling Test	Score	Baseline	Max. Temp.	Ending Temp.
Purple	10	79.7°	89.2°	84.0°
Purple Restore Plus	9.0	81.7°	91.7°	84.7°
Purple Restore Premier	9.0	83.0°	91.3°	86.2°
Leesa Legend	9.0	81.2°	91.2°	84.0°
Leesa Original	9.0	83.6°	92.1°	86.5°
Leesa Sapira	10	81.2°	90.0°	83.5°

• Baseline Temperature – the temperature of the mattress before anyone lies on it
• Maximum Temperature (0 minute) – the temperature of the mattress after lying on it for 15 minutes
• Ending Temperature (after 5 minutes) – the temperature of the mattress after being lied upon and having no one on it for 5 minutes

Below, you can watch a video of how the heat dissipates on each mattress during our cooling test. For this test, we lie on the mattress for 15 minutes, get off the mattress, and then take periodic surface-level temperature measurements.

But none of these popular models from Purple or Leesa performed poorly. Purple’s hyper-elastic grid is highly breathable and thin, which makes for a potent combination for dissipating heat.

Because of its density, memory foam tends to be at a disadvantage when it comes to cooling. However, the quality and design of Leesa’s foam layers manage to overcome that challenge and offer top-tier performance.

Both Purple and Leesa know what they’re doing when it comes to creating a mattress with excellent cooling.

In terms of sinkage, both Purple and Nectar mattresses tend to stay around the minimal to moderate levels.

The mattress with the least amount of sinkage goes to the Purple Restore Premier at 1.82″, but the Leesa Legend was close at 1.88″. Both of these create a more floating-on-top feel for sleepers.

The deepest sinkage among these 6 is the Purple mattress at 2.24″. While technically still moderate, it is on the edge of being considered “deep.”

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding sinkage.

Sinkage Test	Sinkage Feel	Sinkage Depth
Purple	Moderate	2.24″
Purple Restore Plus	Minimal	1.99″
Purple Restore Premier	Minimal	1.82″
Leesa Legend	Minimal	1.88″
Leesa Original	Moderate	2.09″
Leesa Sapira	Moderate	2.05″

The level of sinkage for each mattress is documented in the images below.

The average sinkage depth across all mattresses tested is 2.18″.

Back and stomach sleepers usually prefer less sinkage, which better maintains proper alignment of their spine. For these sleepers, Leesa has better value options with the Leesa Legend (1.88″ at $2,079), Leesa Original (2.09″ at $1,059), and Leesa Sapira (2.05″ at $1,599), all with minimal to moderate sinkage and less than $2,100.

If your budget can stretch a bit further, the Purple Restore Plus and Purple Restore Premier are also good options for back and stomach sleepers.

Generally, side sleepers enjoy a deeper level of sinkage, as that typically translates to better pressure relief and contour. For deeper sinkage, opt for the Purple with 2.24″ of sinkage for only $1,499.

Are you over 300 lbs.? Heavier sleepers generally need a mattress with a firmer feel than what Purple can provide. However, the Leesa Sapira Chill may be a suitable choice. For more options, check out of full list of recommendations in our Best Mattress for Heavy People guide.

When we compare motion transfer for Purple and Leesa, there’s a clear winner: Leesa.

While the Purple mattress has one of the lowest acceleration ranges we’ve seen to date (2.23 m/s²), as a whole, Purple averages an 8.0 motion transfer score.

Leesa, on the other hand, has the Leesa Original with an even lower acceleration range (2.03 m/s²) as well as a much more impressive brand average of 10 out of 10.

Motion Transfer Test	Score	Acc. Range
Purple	10	2.23 m/s²
Purple Restore Plus	7.2	11.27 m/s²
Purple Restore Premier	6.7	12.36 m/s²
Leesa Legend	10	4.38 m/s²
Leesa Original	10	2.06 m/s²
Leesa Sapira	10	4.66 m/s²

The level of motion transfer on each mattress is also documented in the videos below.

For reference, the average motion transfer score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.2. Despite the exceptional performance of the Purple mattress, the brand’s 8.0 average falls below this benchmark.

The higher bounce and ultra-responsiveness of the Purple grid are most likely working against it here. The memory and poly foam material that Leesa uses does a better job of dissipating motion from one side of the mattress to the other.

Even Leesa’s hybrid models, the Leesa Legend and Leesa Sapira, manage to keep motion well within low levels, and they come out as the better option regarding motion transfer.

Next, let’s hit response time—this is the measure of how quickly a mattress can rebound back to its original shape. Both brands perform exceptionally well, but Purple is the clear winner, no matter how you slice it.

Purple earned 10/10 scores for every model in this comparison, with mostly recovered measurements of 0.2 and fully recovered measurements of 0.3 seconds. These times are the fastest we can measure. This amounts to a perfect 10 brand score, compared to Leesa’s 9.6 brand score.

Leesa’s models still performed well, with no mattresses measuring a mostly recovered time above 0.3 seconds and no fully recovered time above 0.5 seconds.

Response Test	Score	Mostly Recovered	Completely Recovered
Purple	10	0.2 seconds	0.3 seconds
Purple Restore Plus	10	0.2 seconds	0.3 seconds
Purple Restore Premier	10	0.2 seconds	0.3 seconds
Leesa Legend	9.9	0.2 seconds	0.4 seconds
Leesa Original	9.4	0.3 seconds	0.5 seconds
Leesa Sapira	9.5	0.3 seconds	0.4 seconds

The level of responsiveness for each mattress is documented in the videos below.

For reference, the average response time across all mattresses tested to date is 0.4 to be mostly recovered and 1.0 for full recovery.

So Leesa’s performance is still considerably faster than average.

Both Leesa and Purple are more than fast enough to reform back to shape, so there is little to no worry of any cratering sensation that may hinder movement on the mattress.

Speaking of ease of movement, we are going to compare bounce levels between Purple and Leesa. Bounce is the factor most impactful for the general ease of movement in, out, and on your mattress.

In regards to bounce, Purple and Leesa are fairly similar. As you might expect by now, Purple’s hyper-elastic grid material is great for bounce. As a brand, they have an average bounce measurement of 11.48″.

But Leesa still performs well with a brand average bounce measurement of 10.72″. The models with the most bounce are the Purple mattress with 12.79″ and the Leesa Sapira with 12.67″.

The mattresses with the lowest bounce are the Purple Restore Premier and the Leesa Original.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding bounce.

Bounce Test	Bounce Feel	Bounce Height
Purple	Very High	12.79″
Purple Restore Plus	Very High	12.20″
Purple Restore Premier	Moderate	9.46″
Leesa Legend	High	11.57″
Leesa Original	Low	7.94″
Leesa Sapira	Very High	12.67″

The level of bounce for each mattress is documented in the videos below.

The average bounce across all mattresses tested to date is 9.16″.

Considering the needs of multiple types of sleepers, I’d say the ideal range for bounce is between 8-12″. Less than 8″, and your movements start to feel impeded by the mattress. On the other end, more than 12″, and the mattress can start to feel too much like a trampoline.

Mattresses with more bounce are better for ease of movement and increase sex performance. However, higher bounce also typically creates a higher level of motion transfer. So there are pros and cons when it comes to bounce.

Typically, mattresses with support coils in the base have an advantage over those with support foam. This holds true with the model with the lowest bounce (the Leesa Original) being an all-foam construction, and the majority of those with coils are clearing the 8″ benchmark by a wide margin.

The only exception is with the Purple mattress, which does not have coils.

In the end, bounce is a preferential factor, and both Purple and Leesa have models that offer more than enough bounce for the average sleeper.

When it comes to edge support, neither Purple nor Leesa are particularly strong performers.

Purple has an edge support brand average score of 8.3 and Leesa has a score of 7.8. On top of the higher score, Purple has the larger disparity between models.

Where Leesa has a sitting sinkage range of 3.25″ to 6.25″, Purple’s models have a sitting sinkage as low as 2.75″ and as high as 7.75″.

Edge Support Test	Score	Sitting Sinkage	Lying Support
Purple	5.1	7.75″	Mediocre
Purple Restore Plus	10	2.75″	Outstanding
Purple Restore Premier	9.9	3.25″	Outstanding
Leesa Legend	8.0	5.50″	Excellent
Leesa Original	8.0	5.50″	Excellent
Leesa Sapira	7.5	6.25″	Excellent

The level of edge support is documented in the images below.

The average edge support score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.6. This is generated with an average sitting edge compression of 4.00″.

By this number, both brands fall below average. On the other hand, Purple has the Purple Restore Plus with the highest score of 10 and the Purple Restore Premier with the second highest score of 9.9.

Purple is clearly the better brand when it comes to edge support. It’s simply the Purple mattress with the bad outlier score of 5.1, which brings down the average.

The Leesa Legend, Leesa Original, and Leesa Sapira all fall short when it comes to sitting edge compression, but they all performed excellently when it came to lying support. So if sleeping near the edge is your main concern, you may not want to rule out Leesa in this category.

However, if you like to sit at the edge of your bed or incorporate it into your dance without pants, Purple is generally your better option.

Now let’s move on to sex performance. Our sex score is derived from a weighted formula that factors the performance categories that may impact the act of sex on a mattress. These include: bounce, edge support, noise, pressure relief, and cooling.

Purple is the clear winner here with an average sex score of 9.2. Leesa, on average, is no slouch with a sex score of 8.6.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding sex performance.

Sex Test	Sex Score	Bounce	Edge Support	Noise	Pressure Relief	Cooling
Purple	8.8	10	4.1	10	9.0	10
Purple Restore Plus	9.9	10	10	10	9.0	9.0
Purple Restore Premier	8.8	8.4	9.7	10	9.0	9.0
Leesa Legend	9.0	9.7	6.9	8.0	9.0	9.0
Leesa Original	7.6	7.4	6.9	10	9.0	9.0
Leesa Sapira	9.1	10	5.9	8.0	10	10

The average sex score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.5, so both brands are above average.

The two weightiest factors in the formula are bounce and edge support. If you can recall, the two brands are similar in bounce, but Purple pulled ahead in edge support. Mattresses that excelled in both, like the Purple Restore Plus, earned the highest sex score.

The Leesa Sapira had high bounce, but only good edge support, so we see a little lower performance at 9.1.

Mattresses with low bounce and poor edge support performed the worst, like the Leesa Original or the Purple Restore Premier.

When it comes to pressure relief, the Purple and Leesa are pretty evenly matched. No mattress performs poorly here. Of the 6 mattresses tested here, 5 earned a 9 out of 10 for pressure relief.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding pressure relief.

Pressure Relief Test	Score	Comfort Layer	Support Layer
Purple	9.0	5.5″	4.0″
Purple Restore Plus	9.0	5.0″	8.0″
Purple Restore Premier	9.0	3.0″	10.0″
Leesa Legend	9.0	4.5″	7.0″
Leesa Original	9.0	4.0″	6.0″
Leesa Sapira	10	4.0″	7.0″

The materials included in each mattress are documented in the images below.

Purple plays around with their ratio of comfort material and support material, but they always have their tried and true hyper-elastic grid at the end of the day. Though it seems to hit a plateau with every model earning just a 9.0 score.

Leesa, on the other hand, has a similar trend of trying different ratios of comfort and support material, especially for their more value models. However, they did manage a 9.3 average, overtaking Purple.

The average pressure relief score across all mattresses tested to date is 8.8 out of 10, with a 4.1″ comfort layer.

Typically, mattresses with thicker comfort layers perform higher in pressure relief. But even lower quantity can be made up with quality, which is what we see with the Purple Restore Premier.

In the case of the Leesa Original, we see a thinner overall profile, yet the comfort layer makes up 40% of its thickness. There’s a similar story with the Purple mattress, but its comfort layer makes up 58% with an even thinner support layer.

It’s where quantity, quality, and smart design all come together, where we see the best results, and that is seen on the Leesa Sapira. Despite a slightly thinner comfort layer than average, the Sapira has the best blend of these 6 to create 10/10 pressure relief.

When it comes to off-gassing, Purple generally had a longer duration to complete off-gassing than Leesa. Leesa averaged a duration of 4.3 days across the models seen in this analysis.

Meanwhile, Purple saw an average of 13.3 days to have their mattresses fully off-gas. They also had the biggest spread of measurements among their models with 4 days as their shortest and 26 days as their longest.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding off-gassing.

Off-Gassing Test	Score	Initial Smell	Smell Duration
Purple	8.9	Strong	4 days
Purple Restore Plus	7.2	Strong	10 days
Purple Restore Premier	2.8	Strong	26 days
Leesa Legend	8.9	Strong	4 days
Leesa Original	9.2	Strong	3 days
Leesa Sapira	8.3	Strong	6 days

For reference, the average off-gassing duration is 6.5 across all the mattresses we’ve tested to date.

The Purple Restore Premier is the clear outlier for having the highest duration of 26 days. It gave the mattress a 2.8 score in this category, where the average score is 8.2.

The Leesa Original only has a 10″ profile, which does give an advantage where there is less material to off-gas, so we saw the fastest duration of 3 days. The Purple mattress was similar with its 9.5″ thickness, but its special grid system was a bit more potent than a standard visco-elastic foam, so we measured a 4 day duration.

The Leesa Sapira was right about average, if not just a little shorter, at 6 days even.

As we look at company policies, we factor the most important aspects of the brand behind the mattress for sleepers. Comparing Purple and Leesa’s company policies shows a clear winner for consumers: Leesa.

Check out the table below to see how each mattress compares regarding company policies.

Company	Purple	Leesa
Score	7.4	9.4
Trial Period	100 nights	100 nights
Warranty	10 years	10 years
Shipping	$0	$0
Returns	$150-$350	$0
Country of Origin	USA	USA

To date, we have tested 330+ mattresses from 99 different brands. Among all mattresses tested to date, the average trial length is 169 nights and the average warranty is 13 years, excluding 40% of mattresses that offer lifetime warranties.

Both Purple and Leesa offer 100-night trial periods, 10-year warranties, and free shipping. In addition, Leesa offers free returns, while Purple charges $150-$350 to return the mattress (depending on the model). Base models are $150 to return, Restore collection models are $250, and Rejuvenate collection models are $350.

When we consider the complete picture of company policies the Leesa is the clear winner.
