Sleeping Style and Body Weight
Side Sleepers
Side sleepers need a mattress that provides adequate pressure relief while ensuring enough support to bolster the lower back for proper spinal alignment. The Leesa Studio Chill Hybrid rises to the occasion, particularly for side sleepers who weigh more than 130 pounds. Our testers found the bed’s comfort layers gently cradled the body’s curves to minimize uncomfortable pressure points. This is especially crucial for side sleepers who often experience painful pressure buildup in the shoulders and hips.
The pocketed coils provide ample support without sacrificing too much contouring. Our testing team found the coils helped deliver support to the lower back while ensuring pressure points still receive enough cushioning. The balanced feel allows side sleepers to sink in just enough without feeling “trapped.”
Some side sleepers under 130 pounds may find the mattress comfortable, but this group will likely prefer a mattress with more cushioning and deeper contouring.
Back Sleepers
Everyone needs a mattress that promotes proper spinal alignment. For back sleepers, this means making sure a bed has adequate support for the lumbar region while also conforming to the body to prevent pressure buildup.
The Leesa Studio Chill Hybrid strikes the right balance of support and pressure relief for most back sleepers. The top foam layers conform to the body and ensure the spine is cushioned without excessive sinking. The support core’s zoned design is particularly beneficial for back sleepers, offering extra support for the lower back while maintaining cushioning elsewhere.
Our testers found the Leesa Studio Chill Hybrid worked best for back sleepers up to 230 pounds. While the mattress still provides a decent balance of support and contouring for back sleepers over 230 pounds, these sleepers would probably benefit from a firmer mattress with stronger support.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers need a mattress that prevents the midsection from sinking too deeply, as this can create a dip in the spine that may lead to lower back pain.
The Leesa Studio Chill Hybrid is a very good option for stomach sleepers under 130 pounds. The quilted foam and memory foam layers offer gentle contouring that doesn’t allow too much sinkage. Meanwhile the pocketed coils provide sufficient support, particularly to the lower back. Strong support is crucial for stomach sleepers, since it ensures that the body remains on an even plane.
Stomach sleepers over 130 pounds will experience more sinkage in the midsection, which can cause uncomfortable sleep posture.
