Lull vs Leesa Mattress

Lull was one of the early entrants in the bed-in-a-box space (founded in 2015). As of the date of this post, they only offer one model, which is obviously the focus of this comparison. So without further adieu, let’s talk about some of the ways in which Lull is different from Leesa.

Lull Mattress Construction

Like the Original Leesa mattress, the Lull mattress is comprised of three foam layers. However, the actual composition of the bed is slightly different than that of Leesa’s. The bed starts with a 7″ layer of dense polyurethane foam. This layer serves as the primary foundation for the mattress. In the middle is a 1.5″ transition layer made of soft polyurethane foam, and then on top, the bed uses a 1.5″ layer of memory foam.

As you will find out in the section below, the Leesa mattresses uses memory foam, as well, but it’s used as a transition in the bed rather than the top comfort layer. As such, the Lull mattress has a little more of a memory foam feel to it than Leesa.

Slight Memory Foam Feel

Given the Lull mattress uses a 1.5″ layer of memory foam for its top layer, one might think the bed has a traditional memory foam feel, but that’s actually not the case. It has more of what we call a neutral-foam feel. The top memory foam layer doesn’t quite contour or conform to your body as much as the top layers on the Nectar or Tomorrow Sleep mattresses, for example. Don’t get us wrong, the mattress is still soft and comfortable, but just don’t expect a traditional memory foam feel from this bed.

Still, with that said, you can definitely tell the top layer is comprised of memory foam, hence the reason why we say the mattress contains a hint of memory foam. Given this, if you’re a fan of memory foam, you’ll probably like the Lull mattress a little more than the Leesa mattress. If you want more of a deep, traditional memory foam feel, though, in which the top layers sort of wrap and hug your body, be sure to check out our list of the Best Memory Foam Beds.

Lull Is More Affordable

This is perhaps the biggest advantage that Lull has over Leesa. To boil it down, the Lull mattress is cheaper than the Original Leesa mattress. For comparison purposes, a queen size Lull mattress has a MSRP of around $1,099 (but a discounted price of $799), while a queen size Leesa mattress has a MSRP of around $1,100.

Although, the MSRPs don’t mean much. Both companies regularly offer coupon codes, promo codes, and discounts to make their beds more affordable. Lull typically offers $200-$250 off their beds. Check the table at top of the post to see what they’re currently offering.

Leesa typically offers $100-$150 off their mattresses. You can check Leesa.com to see what kind of promotion the company is currently offering.

Leesa is one of the most popular online mattress companies in the world. The company really helped popularize the whole bed-in-a-box concept. Besides the Original Leesa mattress (the focus of this comparison), the company also offers the Leesa Sapira Hybrid mattress. This model is very similar to the Original Leesa except it has a higher price tag and contains pocketed coils for its primary support structure.

Construction

The Leesa mattress, like the Lull mattress, is constructed using three foam layers. For the bottom, the bed uses a 6″ layer of dense core foam. Next, the bed uses a 2″ layer of memory foam for its transition layer, which is there to provide deep pressure relief for sleepers. Finally, on top is a 2″ layer of what the company calls its LSA200 foam. This is a proprietary foam that is new to the mattress as of September 2018. The LSA200 foam is designed to be softer and a bit more durable compared to the top layer the company previously used.

Neutral-Foam Feel

As we alluded to above, since the memory foam layer sits below the true top comfort layer, you really can’t feel much of it all. Instead, the bed has more of a soft, neutral-foam feel. The LSA200 foam is soft and comforting, but it doesn’t wrap your body the way memory foam does (i.e. it’s more neutral).

It’s important to note there’s no winner or loser when talking about feel. Everybody has different preferences. Just because the Leesa mattress doesn’t have a memory foam feel doesn’t mean it’s a bad bed by any means. In fact, in our experience, it seems like a neutral-foam feel generally appeals to a larger subset of people than a memory foam feel. A lot of people out there don’t like the conforming sensation that memory foam provides.

Responsiveness

The LSA200 foam top layer on the Leesa mattress is also a bit more responsive than the memory foam top layer on the Lull mattress. As you can see below, the top layer of foam pops back into place quickly after pressure is released off the bed.

In general, active sleepers who move around a lot throughout the night find it easier to switch between positions on beds that have responsive top layers. However, to be fair, even though the top layer on the Lull mattress is somewhat slow to respond, you don’t get any sort of that stuck-in-the-mud feel that is common among memory foam beds. As such, we think active sleepers won’t experience any issues with either of these mattresses.

Better Cover (In Our Opinion)

This is a small point, but we like the cover on the Leesa mattress a little more than the cover on the Lull mattress. Maybe it was just the bed we ordered, but it seemed like the cover on the Lull mattress was a little loose. A couple of our team members said there were times where they could feel the material bunching up under their bodies. Again, we haven’t heard any other complaints about this so maybe it was just our particular unit.

Leesa Mattress vs Lull Review Verdict

Thanks for sticking with us all the way to the end. As you probably inferred by reading the entire comparison, these two beds share quite a few similarities. As such, you still might be on the fence as to which bed to purchase. Well, in our opinion, it really comes to two main factors.

Price — If you’re on a tight budget, Lull is going to be the cheaper option. Be sure to check the discount box at the top of this post to see what kind of savings you can score right now.

Feel — If you like memory foam, chances are you’ll like the Lull mattress a little more. If not, the Leesa mattress is the safe choice.

That’s all we have for you. We hope this comparison was helpful.
