Leesa Sleep, LLC (commonly known as Leesa) is an American direct-to-consumer mattress company in Virginia Beach, Virginia. It was founded in 2014.[1] The company sells foam and hybrid mattresses, bedding and sleep accessories primarily through its website and through retail partners. [2][3]
Founded by David Wolfe and Jamie Diamonstein, the company launched its first product in early 2015. Leesa raised $36.2 million in venture capital across multiple funding rounds before being acquired by 3Z Brands in March 2023.[4]
In 2026, Leesa introduced a biofoam material into the construction of their mattresses. This replaced petroleum based foam with plant-based polyol foams, in an effect to use more eco-conscious materials into the construction of their mattresses. This foam is USDA BioPreferred certified.[5]
Business Model
[edit]Leesa was established as a direct-to-consumer (DTC) company, selling mattresses exclusively online. The company later expanded into physical retail through strategic partnerships. West Elm became Leesa's exclusive brick-and-mortar mattress partner in 2016, replacing Casper, which had previously held the partnership. [6] A subsequent online partnership with Pottery Barn extended Leesa's reach within the broader William-Sonoma, Inc. portfolio.[7]
Acquisition by 3Z Brands (2023)
[edit]On March 15, 2023, Leesa was acquired by 3Z Brands, a vertically integrated multi-brad mattress company that also owns Helix Sleep, Birch Living, Brooklyn Bedding and Bear mattress. Following the acquisition, Leesa's manufacturing was consolidated at 3Z's facility in Glendale, Arizona. [8]
