Accelerated Wear

Est. Life: 2-4 Years

Softening and support loss often reported within 2–3 years due to 3.0 pcf foam compression.

The Warranty "Gap"

A significant challenge for owners is the discrepancy between felt softening and measurable indentation.

Leesa's warranty requires a visible indentation greater than 1.5 inches. However, many owners report back pain (softening) long before the mattress physically sags that deep.

Warning: The warranty is void if slats are > 3 inches apart (check latest terms, often 3-4").
