Construction

Layla Mattresses9.3

Layla Mattress

This 10″ mattress is built in four unique layers with each layer offering its own benefit to the sleeper. The use of copper is also a catch here.

The details

Polyester Cover

The cover of this mattress is a product of polyester blend that offers a soft-plush feeling. In addition to this comfort, thermogel was infused into this cover to make it cooler and retain this coolness.

Comfort Layer (Soft)

The first layer after the cover begins with the soft side. It’s a 3″ copper memory foam. This layer is sheer soft so it allows you to sink in and contour you afterward.

With copper infused into this layer of memory foam, it creates an extra cooling effect and owing to the antimicrobial properties of copper, you are free of bacteria while you enjoy your sleep. The copper also provides variable support in points where you have deep compression.

Transition Layer

This transition layer is made of a 2″ HD foam. This layer is responsible for the interaction between the soft layer and the firm layer of the mattress.

Support Base

At the base of this mattress is the support 4.5″ foam. It is much firmer and it’s a HD polyfoam. Usually, the mattress layers end here at the base but we still have the firm side since it’s a 2-in-1 flippable mattress.

Comfort Layer (Firm)

On the flip side of this mattress is the firm layer which is 1″ in height and is also a copper-infused memory foam but a lot thinner and firm.

N/B: Both firm and soft options come with motion isolation implying that the movement of your partner on the bed while you are fast asleep does not affect you in any way.

Layla Hybrid

The Layla Hybrid features same construction. Two firmness options, all you have to do is flip to get your desired firmness.

This mattress is made up of 5 layers with the pocketed coils making the real difference and the zipper cover of course.

The details

Feature Rich Cover

The cover of this hybrid mattress is rich in features. From being removable with a zipper to being made from a combination of polyester, lycra and viscose, it’s one feature-packed irregular cover. All these contribute to making it super cool.  It’s highly breathable, soft and assures the sleeper of cool sleep.

Comfort Layer (Soft)

As usual, the soft side in a flippable mattress is the first layer. This soft side is a 2.5″ copper-infused memory foam just like it’s other all-foam counterpart.

The copper in the mix caters for bacteria protection with it’s anti-microbial properties. It makes the mattress extra-cool by zapping heat away.

It also contours the body in a slow responsive style and adds to ease pressure from relevant points where it’s needed.

Transition Layer

Underneath this soft layer is the transition layer which is a zoned 2″ polyfoam that serves as the bridge between the soft side and the firm side. This transition layer is firm which is needed for the transition role it plays.

Support Layer

This support layer makes all the difference and the major reason why this mattress is termed hybrid.

Stealing a sizable portion of the entire mattress, it’s 6″ high in pocketed coils covered in foam.

All the bouncy and floating feeling is supplied from this layer. The coils add extra comfort and coolness equally.

Base Support

This layer is usually the last but for the flippable nature of this mattress, it finds itself in this position. It’s a 1.5″ zoned polyfoam and the thinner version of the zoned polyfoam above it.

Comfort Layer (Firm)

The flip side layer is the firm one which is a 1.5″ copper-infused memory foam. It sits at the bottom so you could just flip it over and get down to the firm side of things.  It is thinner than the soft side which is normal.

Sleeping Type

Layla Mattresses9.1

Layla Mattress

With two firmness options available, If you are a side sleeper, you can simply stick with the soft side. This layer offers better pressure relief generally for a side sleeper.

For the back sleeper, you are covered on both sides. They both help in the even distribution of your weight around the mattress so you don’t feel pressure anywhere. Both sides work very well for the back sleeper.

For the regular stomach sleeper, the firm side is ideal. It offers great support for the hips.

Layla Hybrid Mattress

Same double firmness options, the soft side is ideal for every side sleeper. It offers pressure relief and allows the sleeper to get immersed into the mattress. It also eases the pressure off the hips and shoulders.

For back sleepers, both sides are great. The soft side offers better spine alignment and contouring, allowing the sleeper to sink in for premium comfort. Pressure relief is also effective on the firm side.

For the stomach sleeper, the soft side might be too soft, and too much sinking can affect the alignment of the spine. So the firm side is a better option.

Leesa Mattresses9.2

All three mattresses come with the same level of firmness – the universally accepted medium-firm position on the firmness scale. This makes the mattresses suitable for every kind of sleeper (Back, stomach or side sleepers).

Dimensions

Conclusion

Layla and Leesa are both top brands in the mattress niche. In the competitive market, both offers a blend of hybrids and all-foams which is great for variety. Leesa offers two hybrids and one all-foam, while Layla offers one hybrid and one all-foam mattress (both of which are flippable).

Leesa outruns Layla in the competition with a superior level of comfort. While both offer premium breathable cooling covers to kick off the comfort, they proceeded with comfort layers.

However, the comfort layer of Leesa performs better than that of a Layla. It features a hole punched cooling layer (which sleeps cool relatively) on the hybrids with memory foams beneath to complement the comfort.

On body support, Leesa’s memory foam contouring layers contours the body perfectly for pressure relief, spine alignment and back pain alleviation. This memory foam contouring layer is lacking on Layla’s mattresses.
