Too firm
I had great hopes for this bed; however, it is just too firm. Our former memory foam mattress lasted about 7 years, and my husband and I were beginning to have lower back pain because the bed had broken down and was too soft. Prior to that happening; however, we were very happy with the bed. Unfortunately, the manufacturer was no longer in business or we would have just purchased another.
After lots of research of reviews, etc., on the internet, I settled on the pacbed original 11." I was a little concerned about the only complaints being that the bed was too firm, but I thought we would try it and we could also buy a topper if it was too firm. First, the gel memory foam on the pacbed is different from our former bed, which conformed to your body. The gel memory foam simply depresses where you lay, more like a traditional spring form mattress, instead of enveloping your body. In addition, the three inches is not sufficient because you end up depressing through to the support foam, which is very hard. For reference, I am 5'7" and 145 lbs. Both my husband and I have had hip pain since purchasing this bed, and I can no longer sleep on my stomach. I have forced myself to sleep on my side with a pillow between my legs, which is the only way I can sleep comfortably and not wake up in pain.
We bought a 3" memory foam topper that was returnable (through another vendor) to get us through the 60 trial period, but it has made our bed ridiculously high (14") and while it does help relieve the pressure points, it just does not measure up to our old bed as far as comfort goes, and I still have issues with my arms falling asleep when I sleep on my stomach. Sigh. Unfortunately, this is going back when our trial is up in 30 days.
I also find it odd that I cannot figure out how to leave a review on their site. Perhaps they don't let you review until the full 60 days has past.

I researched the best I could online
I'm giving this product 3 out of 5 for now. I suspect it will go down to a 2 unless it miraculously improves in comfort.
I researched the best I could online. SleepLikeTheDead.com appears to be, purports to be, a non-biased review organization. They rate this product higher than any other. And report 380+ customer reviews in part of their opinion.
"The ratings – based on 380+ consumer reviews gathered using an unbiased, accurate methodology – show how Bed In A Box mattresses compare to the average mattress."
Problem is, I can't find any customer reviews on the BedInaBox website. I can't find anywhere to leave a review on their website. I can't find any ling on the SleepLikeTheDead website to provide a review. So, I'll leave it here, with the other 5.
I purchased a twin for my son and a king fro myself. My son's mattress has no "off-gassing" smell. My mattress smells like it became moldy in the air vacuumed packaging, and is going on 5 days of a smell I can't sleep with. The smell has permeated my down comforter and I suspect I'm going to need to replace it.
My son says his mattress is fine and has no issues with comfort.
I have issues with my L5/S1. My previous mattress caused me discomfort. This mattress makes my back pain unbearable. I can't sleep through he night and have pain all day long. I am resorting to sleeping on the couch while I wait for the 60 day trial period to end.
The bed does not give in enough. My hips are raised while my L5 is forced down. It's basic physics. Even if you don't have L5 issues, this mattress will certainly encourage it. If I slept on my side, I'm sure it would not be an issue. I don't sleep on my side.
Not impressed. Not impressed with SleepLikeTheDead or BedInABox.
I can only hope that they don't expect me to ship this thing back to get the money back guarantee. I don't have the equipment to make it compact and vacuum packed that they do when they shipped it to me.
BEST BED FOR YOUR DOLLAR
I LOVE this bed!!!!!! While shopping for a new mattress I wanted to try a non traditional online mattress retailor. I first tried CASPER beds and that bed was so uncomfortable I could only sllep on it for 4 nights before my wife made we change back to our spring mattress. This was our next bed and after a week we decided we would keep it for good. The customer service during ordering was great . I really liked the try in home no risk policy but dont worry you wont need to use it cause this bed is amazing. It is just as comfortable as the Temper-pedic beds I tried in stores. Give this bed a try whats the worst that could happen.
Very satisfied.
Arrived in a very manageably sized package, I didn't have any off gassing issues, and the bed is every bit as comfortable as I'd hoped so far.
Excellent.. just what me and my wife needed
Excellent..just what me and my wife needed
Three Stars
Not as comfortable as I imagined
We recently ordered the PacBed Original...
We recently ordered the PacBed Original and a foundation, King, online. Ordering was straightforward and easy. Communication from Bed-In-A-Box was timely and done via email. Our mattress and foundation arrived within four business days. Set up for the foundation took about 20 minutes - directions were easy to follow and assembly was without hitch. Unboxing / unwrapping of the mattress was quick and again, easy, taking about 4 minutes. This king size mattress is a bit heavy and unweidly to move into place on the foundation but with two people it was done within 30 seconds. Total time to set up: 30 minutes! Note: There was no smell to the mattress.
The mattress feel is firm. You can barely feel another move, toss or turn, or get in or out of the bed. It did take a few days to adjust to the feel of the mattress and getting a quilted mattress cover helped in adding a bit of 'cushion'. The first few days my husband and I woke up stiff...though we believe that was due to staying in one position rather than tossing and turning or lack of support.
After two weeks sleeping on the mattress...we love it! It's comfortable. Neither of us toss or turn anymore. It provides quality support. When we need to replace our other mattresses, this will be the one we buy!
Bought this mattress to replace
Bought this mattress to replace a pillow top mattress that was showing some wear and not very comfortable any more. Very pleased so far. Our son recommended bed in a box after he bought one for himself 2 years ago.
Bed in a Box
We recently purchased a 'Bed in the Box', everyone thought I was crazy, but the online research and reviews were great so we decided to give it a try - we are very happy with the mattress, the ordering process and delivery.
King size Pacbed
Great price. Quick delivery. Super comfortable ! My husband is up by 6:30 AM having never slept better!! Customer for like!
The best!
My husband and I love this bed. It is extremely comfortable and supportive, without being too soft. The warranty plus the 120-day money back guarantee are unheard of and excellent. I am so excited to have this bed for a long, long time!
happy back
Our 8 year old Tempurpedic no longer did the trick. Sore backs for both of us every morning. Our new mattress is great, easy to move and unpack, no off-gassing, and so comfortable.
Good Buy
Been sleeping on the mattress for several weeks now. I would call it firm. It's very comfortable for me as a stomach/back sleeper. I thought it might be too firm for my wife as she is a side sleeper, but she is happy too.
So Far So Good...
I'm not sure what I was expecting at first, my initial shock was that it was literally a bed in a box. From visiting with others about a foam mattress, we were told to 'break' in the bed by walking/jumping on it. Now the bed has settled quite nicely. We are sleeping much more comfortably and soundly. I truly wake up with few to zero aches. Overall, BedInABox was extremely easy to purchase from, quick to ship and so far a great product! I only hope it continues to get better through the years!
Love it!
Very firm, very comfortable bed! No backaches! In fact, I like it better than our tempurpedic!
Nice mattress and cover, but it's firmer than I expected.
Comfortable, but a little firmer than I expected.
New Bed
Have only slept on it 3 night due to being out of town. Seems good so far. It is an adjustment from sleeping on a inner spring mattress for 50 years. The mattress was a little firmer than I expected. I want to give it a good month before I can truly give it a thumbs up or thumbs down.
I bought this to replace
I bought this to replace my old mattress. It is a little firmer than I expected but overall nice mattress. I do sleep better.
Too Early to tell
initially my pacbed felt far firmer than my tranquility I had before, and its supposed to be the softer bed. after 1 week I think I like the bed but I really need more time to know for sure.
Pretty Darn Good!
We've only had our mattress for 8 days, so it's a little difficult for me to give it a full 5 stars. I bought this mattress over my husband's mild objections, really worried it wouldn't work out. So far, it has. I'm sleeping much more comfortably than I have in a year. I'm a side sleeper and can only sleep on left side due to medical issues. I've developed arthritis in left hip. Happily, I'm not waking up in the night because of pain in my hip and feel rested and ache free in the morning. My husband is feeling more rested, too. The 2 things I'm not so happy about are the mattress seems concave. I actually feel like I could roll over to the middle when my husband gets in bed. I don't like that; what will happen in the future? Also, I can feel him move around. I was counting on this being motion free. I should have gotten a king and or a higher quality mattress. I've already recommended Bed in a Box to a friend.
Sleeping much better than before.
My wife and I are sleeping much better since we got this bed. I haven't had any of the neck pains I used to have with our old bed. Setup was pretty easy and was accomplished without problem.
Very firm
The bed came and was easy to assemble. We also bought the box spring which was fairly simple to assemble. The bed is firmer than I am used to
Extremely Firm, No Warranty
I explained that I was waking up every morning with back pain. For giving a company $1500, I would expect some kind of customer support. Instead I was told my mattress was past it's "try period" therefore there was nothing they could do. Many mattress companies offer a comfort guarantee. Not these guys. Regret my purchase 100%.
Tranquillium Mattress
The Tranquillium mattress is not at all a firm mattress, I strongly advise against it to those who really want a firm mattress. I can honestly say that is more near a medium -soft mattress . I don t understand why is a mattress #firm# I have to leave with that piece of crap since I can not returned because I have opened it when my furniture came after 3 months. That was my 4 a mattress( and last) bought from this Company. I am so disappoint when a company try to sell something that is not even closer at he reality.
Great buy!
I recently bought a King Original for home after having a Queen size for our travel trailer for 10 years. The one in the trailer is still doing great and looks new. We are Very pleased with our King at home. The Bedinabox replaces a Tempurpedic we have had problems with for a few years now. Back pain is gone and this bed feels great in whatever position I sleep in. The Bedinabox costs a fraction of what the Tempurpedic does. There is no chemical smell when first opened. The Tempurpedic stunk bad for over a week! Really. Very, very pleased with this purchase.
Truly satisfied AirBNB guests!
I run an AirBnB out of my home. I rent 4 rooms and every room now has BedInTheBox mattresses. Many guests have gone on to order their own for themselves. I ordered this Azul bundle for my last room. I always sleep on new mattresses before my guests do to be sure they are ok. This one may be my favorite yet. Always fast shipping and great customer service as well.

Love it
Love it
A mattress evolution for noticeably better sleep.
Was pleasantly surprised with the support, comfort and overall better sleep provided by this mattress. I had a spring mattress for over 8 years and decided initially to go for a hybrid construction of spring and foam. This hybrid option eventually did not work out and I went with the all foam solution. All my initial worries were gone after that first night, the mattress does provide a good level of support and dissipates heat quite well. The only down side to this mattress was the smell it had for about a week after unpacking it, not a terrible thing to have to deal with for some days but not pleasant either. Regardless, I would highly recommend this mattress.
I love ❤️ Leesa
I bought the queen size mattress. It was delivered promptly and weighed 74 pounds. It wasn’t too hard to move around or dump out of the box (I have a low platform bed frame). Did a little adjusting of the cover or it would have opened lopsided. It is wonderful. It is supportive. There are no pressure points to cause pain anywhere on my body. I sleep with less tossing and turning so I’m more rested in the morning. I love my Leesa. Best $800 I have ever spent.
The best!
My Leesa is amazing. My back feels so good when I wake up in the morning (not always the case on other mattresses). I love memory foam but hate how hot it makes me feel and Leesa seems to have solved this problem. It reminds me of memory foam but I never overheat. And I don’t notice my wife getting out of bed in the morning. I paid a lot more for a Sleep Number and am replacing it with my Leesa!
Love this mattress! Firmness is
Love this mattress! Firmness is perfect! I researched for a year and glad I chose the Leesa.
Look forward to bed every night!
Going to bed has become one of my favorite times of day as a result of the Leesa mattress! Nicest bed I've had the pleasure of sleeping on!
Queen and King Leesa Mattress and Foundation and Pillows
I love the two Leesa Mattresses that I just bought. I now slumber in a deeper sleep. I don't wake up during the night tossing and turning, and look forward to going to bed! The pillows are fantastic. .
I love it. The best
I love it. The best night sleep with out waking up stiff. It is very relaxing
Comfy but smelly
We love our mattress! You sink in at all the right pressure points. We both especially like how our hips are sinking in just enough. It’s not slow to form like other memory foam beds, so when you roll over, your not leaving a hole and sitting on top. Our only complaint and the reason I didn’t give 5 stars, is the smell. During the first 2 weeks, it was pretty strong, it’s been about 2 months and it’s finally gone away for the most part. I’ll occasionally still smell it. I imagine all foam beds have this smell.
Comfortable, but...
This is a very firm mattress. I wish there had been an option to choose a softer one. Also, deep-pocket sheets, which most new sheets are, do not fit well. They are much too big.
Best Bed Ever!
My whole experience with Leesa has been wonderful. I ordered the mattress and foundation and had the mattress two days later! The foundation takes a little longer but I had that within a week. There was very little off-gassing and I didn't find the smell offensive. I'm very sensitive to smells/fumes, I have asthma, but we were able to sleep on this bed the very first night. The mattress is THE most comfortable thing I have ever felt! It somehow manages to cradle you, like a big, soft marshmallow and provide the perfect amount of support. I suffer from multiple sclerosis and fibromyalgia and this bed has made such a huge difference in my life. I no longer wake up feeling like I've been beaten-up and while I rarely sleep through the night due to my illnesses, the rest and sleep I get on my Leesa has greatly improved my life. I've honestly never experienced this level of comfort! Thank you, Leesa!!!
totally awesome comfort after 6 weeks
totally awesome comfort after 6 weeks. Love it.
Amazing
Best night sleep that I have had in a long time. The only downfall on this mattress is I never want to get out of bed!

I don't know why we waited so long
Comfy bed that results in a good nights rest
My wife and I LOVE our mattress. But that begs the question, how do you know you love it? First of all we aren't complaining about how we feel when we wake up anymore. We don't talk about buying a new mattress or even considering making a change. We fall asleep, and stay asleep (except when our 5 mo old wakes us). It's become a wonderful part of our evening, most nights I look forward to lying down! Great mattress for the price.
relieved...
relieved that it's as good as the reviewers make it out to be and relieved that i turn much less than I did on a spring mattress. My wife's experience is the same. It's a deal.
So good we had to buy another!
We bought a king size Leesa for our master bedroom and loved it so much we bought a queen size for our guest bedroom. Our guests are going to love it!
Best mattress I have ever owned
I have to admit I was a bit skeptical that a mattress that is not super thick could be comfortable. My husband and I were both pleasantly surprised. The mattress has been wonderful. Not too soft, not too firm. It is well made with a beautiful cover. Love my new mattress
Best mattress yet
Best mattress yet
excellent !!!
nice to finally get a good nights sleep.
Never had a better night of sleep!!
Fell in love on the first night and have slept better since. It is the right amount of firm and soft and cannot tell when my husband moves next to me. I am a Leesa owner for life!
So far so good!
I am enjoying this mattress
it's great!
it's great!
Less back pain
I enjoy my mattress and will buy again in the future. Bed feels firm but contours to my back. It has lessened my lower back pain. Only gripe is that the mattress has a plastic smell upon opening that lingers. Had to leave windows open for a week to let it air out. Smell is still there but faint.
Very comfortable. Smells weird.
I love the matress and sleep great. It provides great support and breathes well. It still has a slight chemical smell from then it was made I guess but you get used to it.
Extremely Comfortable. Great Value
Only reason I don’t give 5 stars is, LEESA tell us there may be some “off gassing” from the mattress for a few days. That means fumes emit from the mattress’s man-made material, a kind of settling process.
In the case of my mattress, it was like sleeping over an open can of paint for over a month. Then the “gassing” finally stopped.
I sleep really well on this mattress. Glad I bought it.
Too soft for me
I'm a stomach sleeper and this mattress was too soft for me. I needed a mattress that was a bit more firm.
Ok for a guest room, but not worth the price.
Our mattress has already developed troughs. It's still comfortable enough but there's no way it will last even 3-5 years, let alone the 10 a mattress at this price point should last.
For my Son
We bought the leesa for our Special Needs son. He is 35 and has a hard time sleeping. He has loved it. Sleeps so much better and is in a lot less pain when he gets up. Thank you.
So Great
My husband just had back surgery and he has been loving the Leesa mattress. We both think it's wonderfully supportive and just the right amount of soft. We love it!!
Best sleep I had in years.
Delivery and packaging was quick and easy. The light smell it had only lasted a day or two. As a heavier set guy, it felt amazing. It was super quiet, unlike a spring mattress. Very little disturbance with my wife. My wife on the other hand, hated the mattress. She's considered petite, and the more dense nature of foam mattresses meant she felt the Leesa to be a lot more firm than our last mattress. Sadly, I ended up returning it for her. It's a great option for medium to large folks. By the way, the return process was a breeze and refund processed about 5 days after the pickup. Amazing service.
The best mattress I've ever slept on
My fiance and I are about a year into our Leesa experience and for both of us, it's been the greatest investment. She and I both travel extensively and we sleep in a lot of hotels but no matter how much we enjoy the mattress, we always look forward to coming home to the Leesa.
Consistent quality
Super soft and well made mattress! We have been impressed with the quality and how it’s almost impossible to have a bad night’s sleep on it. It does run a little hot but I’d imagine not as hot as other memory foam mattresses due to the Leesa’s thoughtful construction.
AMAZING
I have gotten the best sleep ever! I’m a back and side sleeper and it’s been amazing for me! Definitely worth the investment! If you’re going to buy a mattress that will last and will allow you a great sleep, go with LEESA!!!
comfortable and supports my back
comfortable and supports my back well while being comfortable
Jury still out!
Bought this mattress for our son, he is a very big boy, hoping the mattress won't start sagging in hot e middle as every other mattress we have bought for him! We will see!
Good night sleep.
I've been having difficulty sleeping due to a injury. I purchased the Leesa mattress and was finally able to get a decent night sleep.
Love this mattress
After sleeping on this mattress for over a month, I’m ready to review it. This is by far the most comfortable mattress I’ve slept on. I also upgraded from my queen mattress to a king, which has been excellent. Along with the great sleep I’m having throughout the night, I’ve noticed I no longer wake up when my husband adjusts or gets in and out of bed. Experience with this mattress has been great!
Love, love, love my new mattress!
For me, the Leesa Mattress has proven to be a wonderful mattress. I have bursitis in both hips; I have had zero hip pain with this mattress. I sleep soundly, comfortably. If my kids hop into bed with me, they can move without disturbing me, and vice versa.
I highly recommend trying this mattress. What price would you put on a peaceful night's sleep?
