Bought the queen Original about two and a half years ago. I'm 6'1, around 200 lb, and I switch between my back and my side all night. The first year I honestly had no complaints. Medium feel, and the top layer pushes back a little so you don't sink and get stuck. It sits on a slatted frame and we rotate it every few months like they say. Still, there's now a dip where my hips go, and I wake up with a stiff lower back unless I roll over onto my wife's half. Mornings I perch on the side of the bed to get dressed and the foam just collapses there. In summer it holds heat too, the covers are off by 2am.

What does the signal score of 45 mean?
It's how well reviewed Leesa Original is, out of 100, next to the other mattresses here. Two things go in: how its reviews compare with the best-reviewed product (positive reviews, mixed counting half, and how many reviews there are), and its own negative and mixed reviews, which take points off, so only a product few people are unhappy with scores in the high 90s. It's worked out from reviews only, needs at least 5 of them, and updates as new ones come in.
