Taking aside this similarity, the two mattresses reviewed here, Leesa and Tempurpedic Cloud Supreme Breeze as a representative of the Tempurpedic brand, have distinct differences in terms of performance.

Despite Tempurpedic has a quite a reputation and years of experience in the industry, we feel Leesa is probably a better choice in terms of keeping you cool, providing you plenty of comfort and support, while also exhibits limited motion transfer and appropriate edge support. It even features a better trial and return policy, which you should take into account when deciding which mattress you prefer.
