Our Experts With 5+ years of mattress testing experience, we use our different sleeping position and body type perspectives to offer well-rounded, honest reviews. Score Breakdown Pros and Cons Leesa has been making moves lately. This past year, the company came out with several new pillow-top beds within its Chill collection.

This year, it collaborated with West Elm to produce a natural hybrid mattress. And, very recently, the Reserve Hybrid entered Leesa's already extensive mattress lineup. Unlike most other Leesa beds, the Reserve Hybrid is a dense memory foam option.

It's also the first Leesa bed to have a comfort insert, which gives the mattress more of a setup process compared to others. In this review, I'll cover what you should know about the Reserve Hybrid. First impressions This bed showed up at our door in a couple of boxes; one contained the support system, and the other contained the comfort insert.

Although the unboxing was a bit more involved in terms of the setup process, it was still very quick and easy to complete. Right out of the box, the bed did look slightly misshapen, but we just gave it a night to fully expand. After giving the bed time to inflate, we began testing the mattress.

We immediately noticed that the bed had a dense memory foam feel, similar to a Nectar or Tempur-pedic mattress. It was pretty slow to respond, especially compared to other Leesa beds. When I hopped on the bed, this notion of dense memory foam was confirmed.

It felt firm at first.
