FAQs

What makes a good sleep gift?

An excellent sleep gift is personalized and age-appropriate, so no giving Oura Rings to 7-year-olds. Consider your budget and what would genuinely make your recipient’s sleep life better. No matter what you choose, the gift of good sleep is priceless.

What should I get someone who needs better sleep?

Consider the foundation of sleep: a good mattress, a calm environment, and excellent bedding. For example, your mother-in-law may not need a brand new mattress, but you can get her a new pillow to replace her old lumpy one and help ease her neck pain.

We’re not saying you can buy in-law affection, but the gift of good sleep doesn’t hurt.

Are mattresses good gifts?

Yes, but in the right circumstance. People have different mattress preferences and sleep needs. For example, a plus-sized side sleeper may adore the Plus Hybrid Mattress, while a warm-blooded back sleeper may prefer the Sapira Chill® Hybrid Mattress.

Know your audience before purchase, and you’ll be just fine.

What's the best pillow to give as a gift?

Most folks are overjoyed with a new pillow, but the best of the best are pillows with cooling features. Options like Leesa’s Adjustable Chill Pillow provide a cooling, comfy sleep.

How do I know what mattress firmness someone needs?

It’s best to ask. Yes, we know that can ruin the surprise, but firmness is a very serious matter when it comes to good sleep. A person’s preference can change over time, so you want to make sure you're making the best selection for their current needs.

When in doubt, go with medium-firm. It’s the best option for restorative sleep. With Leesa, they can try their new mattress out for 100 days, and if they need a different firmness, send it back.

What age should a child get a real mattress?

First off, infant and kid mattresses are definitely real mattresses—even if they are teeny. The age at which children should transition to adult mattresses will vary, but is usually somewhere around 12 and 14.
