- You want a hybrid mattress. The Simba uses latex, microcoils, memory foam and a 7-zoned support foam. All this makes for a responsive mattress with good support.
- You sleep on your side or back and want a mattress that responds to pressure in a faster manner than most foam mattresses.
- You want good edge support. Because of the extra layer of foam around the perimeter of the coils, the Simba maintains its support around the edges.
- You’re of a light to medium build, as some users of a heavier build report that the mattress can be prone to sinkage on one side over time.
- You’re looking for a high-end feel mattress on a budget, as the Leesa is consistently cheaper than many of its rivals.
- You want a mattress that molds closely to your unique body shape, due to the combination of latex and memory foam.
- You’re a light sleeper who doesn’t want to be disturbed by motion transfer if you’re sharing the bed with a partner.
- You get hot in bed and want one of the most breathable and cool mattresses on the market.
