Usually, the process of delivering and installing a mattress is a major hassle. But not for those who purchase the Leesa Hybrid. First, it gets delivered to your door. The shipping is free. It is shipped in a fairly compact box. This means that it will be easy for you to maneuver it into the right position. However, it is 115 pounds. Because of this, you might need to get a friend to help you lift it.
Once you have the mattress in the bedroom, it will be easy for you to get it set up. You’ll need to take it out of the box and lay it out. Then, cut the plastic at the top. You can then pull it down like you are removing a sock. Once you do this, it will start to take shape. You might need to give it a few hours to fully expand. However, you should be able to sleep on it on the first night.
The only potential problem is that the mattresses are made to order. On the positive side, they are going straight from the factory to your door. On the downside, the shipping could take a little longer. Depending on the circumstances, you might need to wait for around two weeks before it arrives.
Overall, I liked that the mattress came in a compact box and found the setup process to be very simple. In this area, I am awarding the mattress a 9 out of 10.
Off-Gassing
One of the benefits of purchasing a mattress that has been made in the United States is that there are stringent controls on the type of chemicals that can be used to make it. This is not only helpful to the environment; it also reduces the amount of off-gassing you experience.
Like most mattresses, you might get some off-gassing when you take it out of the packaging. However, this shouldn’t last for too long. Usually, it will have faded within a few hours. Make sure to leave the windows open, to allow the scent to disperse. I also recommend unwrapping the mattress in the morning. By the time you want to go to sleep, the scent should have completely faded.
While there was some off-gassing, this is normal and it only lasted for a few hours. In this area, I score the Leesa Hybrid a 9 out of 10.
