It depends on the size and constitution of the meteoroid that burned up. Some will burn up in any layer of the atmosphere, some meterorites will make it to Earth's surface, and some meteroids will skip off the atmosphere and head back into space. However, meteor showers occur in the mesosphere.

What layer in the atmosphere do meteors come from?

Meteors originate in the mesosphere, which is the third layer of the Earth's atmosphere located between the stratosphere and the thermosphere. This layer is where most meteors burn up upon entering the atmosphere due to the friction with the air molecules.
