LUCID12 Inch Hybrid Mattress - Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Infused - Memory Foam and Encased Springs - Medium Plush Feel - Bed in a Box - Pressure Relief and Motion Isolation - California King Size

Purchased January 2019--The only real negative in the experience was shipping time. I think it's ridiculous that an in-stock item doesn't even go on a truck for more than a week after ordering just to coerce people into buying Prime. The mattress itself though--a winner.Taped to the mattress when you open the box is a zip-lock bag containing a tool that is basically one of those safety-type letter openers (pic), to cut the plastic off and avoid damaging the mattress from using scissors to open it. There are two layers of clear plastic wraps--an open-ended "tube" around the outside of the rolled up mattress, and once that is removed and the mattress is unrolled, there is what can best be described as a vacuum-packed heavy-duty shrink wrap around the mattress itself.One surprise was that the moment the outer plastic was off, even with the inner wrap still on, it started "inhaling" air with an audible hiss. It did not actually begin to expand though until the inner wrap was off. When the inner wrap was cut with the cutting tool, I needed to get it pulled away from the mattress rather quickly to avoid having to lift the entire mattress to get it out, because by the time I got the inner wrap off, if already looked like a mattress and not the 2 inch thick pad it started out looking like. Within 10 minutes it was already 9.5 inches tall (pic), with no sagging corners as mattress-in-a-box reviews sometimes report. There was a bit of off-gassing when I first opened the mattress, rather like the sweet/chemical-y smell of new carpet, but it was completely unnoticeable by the time I actually went to bed about 3-4 hours later.If there was anything I thought Lucid could have done differently, it was that the mattress seemed to me to be rolled up backwards. I assume this was to allow the top layers of foam to be on the outside, to protect the springs fron damage during shipment. Just as in the video reviews I have seen, if you simply lay the mattress down and unroll it down the top of the base or foundation, the mattress is upside down--I had to flip a 100 pound bulky King mattress by myself. If you lay out the roll so the the top side is up, you have to unroll it by pulling the mattress roll from underneath rather than simply rolling it out, and the roll is heavy enough that such a method may not be practical without damaging the mattress.Now for the mattress feel. The mattress top feels like a regular memory foam mattress rather than a hybrid; I have yet to feel an inner spring from this mattress digging into me regardless of position. Edge support is much better than I expected for a foam-topped mattress -- there is sinkage along the edge when you sit with feet on the floor, but I do not feel as though I am going to slide onto the floor. I also like that there is no steel wire digging into the back of my leg as I sit on the edge.I am a 6'2" 250 pound individual with chronic back issues who is primarily a side sleeper. In the past I have had trouble with mattresses giving me pain in my shoulder and hip, causing me to interrupt my sleep and turn over frequently in the night to relieve the pressure, and then the act of rolling over causes me back pain.After my first night on the mattress, I noticed no back, shoulder or hip pain either during sleep or upon arising, and do not recall turning over at all. A really good night's sleep. It is a different feel than I am used to, but I expect that my sleep will get even better as the mattress becomes a more familiar nighttime nest.Being a good sized, guy I probably sink into the foam more than a lighter person would--they might experience the mattress as on the firm side of medium, whereas it seemed to me to be just on the plush side of medium. It definitely was not "hard". I was concerned that my hips would sink in more than my shoulder and I would feel like I was sleeping with my feet downhill, but that was not the case. The sinking in seemed very natural and felt like it kept my spine in alignment as I lay on my side. At no time did I have the sensation that the mattress was swallowing me up (perhaps due to the innersprings), and I never experienced the overheating that some memory foam sleepers report. I was very comfortable, temperature-wiseI like the idea of the charcoal infusion to maintain freshness in the top layer, which has ventilation holes down to the second layer, which is an aloe vera gel-infused layer that is supposed to wick moisture vapor and heat away from the sleeper. All in all, there are 4.5 inches of foam between me and the springs (compared to one inch or less in a conventional innerspring mattress), which is probably why I never felt like the springs were pushing against my pressure points. The top layer of foam is also more responsive than typical memory foam, more like latex, making it easier to roll over without feeling like the mattress is resisting you. It sleeps like a mattress at a high end hotel.If anything changes as time goes by I will update my review, but right now it feels like the most comfortable mattress I've ever slept on.July 2020 Update--I have now owned the mattress for 18 months, it still looks and feels new--no sagging on the edges or in the middle. I do spin the mattress around horizontally about every other time I change the sheets, to even out the wear, but so far I'm not noticing any wear. I'd buy this mattress again.October 2021 Update--in a few months the mattress will be three years old, and I still would buy it again. The memory foam has softened a bit in that time so I experience the mattress as a true plush in firmness, but there is no noticeable foam sagging in the areas I sleep in (a common problem with memory foam-only, non-hybrid mattresses) I still cannot feel any springs poking me through the foam, and as mentioned, I'm a big guy. Considering the average lifespan of a mattress is designed to be about 5 years it has held up very well.The cover has had a few minor spills (young grandkids dropping their "sippy cup") and the cover spot-cleaned very well. IMPORTANT---please do not EVER take the cover off the mattress expecting to launder it--the zipper seam is for cover installation at the factory; it is not designed for consumer removal. If you do that, the loose fiberglass fire retardant inside the mattress will go everywhere--this is common to most memory foam mattresses, so it's not strictly a Lucid issue)If this one ever wears out, which it shows no sign of doing right now (late 2021), I will certainly place the mattress at the top of my list of possible replacement candidates.

I did extensive review on 'bed in a box' options and finally settled on this one. Very pleased with my purchase! The mattress is on the softer/plusher side and it is really comfortable for side sleeping. The description says "medium firm" but I'd put it more lower medium side. It was delivered in a huge box and then unrolled very easily. It took a really long time to decompress and get to it's normal shape-maybe because I am in a really cold area and the bedroom was on the cooler side. The first 4/5 nights were a bit lump and weird and it looked misshapen, but after 3 weeks, it's soooo comfy and looks perfect. Also of note it's HEAVY. Description says 77lbs and it's every bit of that. Also really difficult to move-bear this in mind if you plan to bring it upstairs. Have few friends around to help!

I cannot speak to mattress comfort alone since the only experience that I have with it is with the My Pillow 3 inch smart foam mattress cover. The two combined provide for exception comfort while offering the support that you need. The adjustable bed base is super high quality. I am very impressed at how heavy duty it is and the build quality is industrial level. It is very quiet when in action too.Buy it!

Having browsed several different mattresses and companies, I ultimately decided to give this bed a shot based on other customers' reviews and managed to catch it at an even further discounted price, though that has little at all to do with the review.I'll start by saying that I have only had this mattress for about a month at the time of this review, but thus far, I've been fairly impressed with it. The quality seems to be there; I'm fond of the stitching and the covering for the mattress itself. The zipper for it is a bit wonky, but nothing that isn't manageable. I washed the covering before sleeping on it and found that it went through the wash well; it didn't fray, shrink, or tear. Placing it back on the mattress was a bit awkward again due to the odd zipper layout, but can easily be done by one person alone with some patience.The mattress itself looks impressive at first glance. The layers seem thoughtful, the construction seems firm, and having never seen a pocket-coil hybrid mattress before, I rather like the uniqueness it offers by comparison to just a standard foam or spring mattress.To the touch, the top layer has the soft, almost slow give one expects from a foam mattress with little recoil; it almost seems to mold to the hand. Further still and you suddenly find a firm support that does offer that springy feeling of a more traditional mattress. In sitting first on the edge, I felt well supported. It was quite easy to stand from the mattress, and I didn't feel like I was being sucked into it. Laying down, again first on the edge, I still felt a comfortable support that, while not sinking towards the center, did not seem to want to throw me onto the ground either, something that a lot of foam mattresses struggle to provide.Lying down properly on my back in the center of the mattress, I gradually felt my weight sink into the foam layers as they contoured to my lower back and shoulders. It was here that I thought I might begin to feel that stuck-in-the-mud sensation; however, I was pleasantly surprised when I found the support of the encased coil springs, and sank no further. Turning from side to side was easy and required substantially less effort than I was used to from sleeping on an all-foam mattress: a nice perk.Flipping onto my side, I experienced much the same sensation. There was a little more pressure around my shoulder and hip; but, nothing that wasn't profoundly uncomfortable.Rolling onto my stomach, I found some decent support at my hips, something that stomach sleepers know all-to-well is paramount to getting a good night's rest. I felt comfortable; but, admittedly not as much as I did on my back, and I'm primarily a side and stomach sleeper. Still, it wasn't something I found profound enough to be a naysayer.As advertised, Lucid claims this is a plush to medium feel. Here, I'd have to disagree. This mattress is more of a medium to medium-firm feel; about a 6.5 out of ten if I had to put a number to it with 1 being plush and 10 firm. Of course, one's personal weight is a huge factor in perception, and for me, I'm 160lbs.Having slept on it for a little bit now, I have to admit that I am impressed. It sleeps quite cool which I appreciate immensely. I change positions frequently throughout the night, and the mattress facilitates these changes with minimal effort. While I cannot speak much for the Bamboo Charcoal and aloe vera infusion actually doing much for me or my sleep cycle, I don't feel like I paid a premium for them, so I don't mind how it's advertised. Plus, they do make the mattress itself look unique, and again, I like that divergence.Overall, I'd actually give this mattress a 4.5 in the short run that I've had it. For the sake of the company, I gave a 5 star review on amazon since amazon doesn't split the level there. The only conflicting thing I have to say about it is the firmness, which I think for most will likely be more on the firm side than advertised. But the price of the mattress in relation to its quality thus far is tantalizing, and in my opinion makes it a strong contender for anyone on a budget. I'd even pit it against other, more popular brands such as Casper, Tuft and Needle, bear, ect.

Waiting (two nights to use) while it decompressed, from a smaller box than I thought was possible. Problem! Comfort is ok, but worried about the center where it folds. It seems not as firm as before. 7 months old. Also, a Problem! When putting two together, mine will not match. One is higher than the other, which is kind-of aggravating. I really did not know they were coming in a box, sucked in like a freezer bag.

If you are looking for a good mattress you've found it. Bought this for my wife and she was skeptic about it but after reading review i got this one for her and got the latex hybrid for me. She's 5'2" 140 lbs and i'm 6' 275 lbs. The firmness is perfect for both of us and support is great. The only thing is i don't know how long they'll last, but i am not worried about it because if it lasts only 5 yrs i'll buy another one because at 385$ canadian i can get 5 or 6 of these to equal the overpriced big companies matresses that will last only 5 to 8 yrs anyway. Don't hesitate to get it i got both matresses on lucid 300 adjustable beds. I looked for 1 year before buying them but i wished i would have bought it in the first week. Great buy!!!

Last year I bought a mattress online from National Mattress during the first Covid lockdown. It was a SERTA 8 inch pillow top. Within a year, the mattress started to sag right down the middle and gave me a tremendous about of back and hip pain. I couldn't walk some days. Because I had spent $500+ on that mattress I didn't want to buy another mattress. But the pain was getting worse so I decided to try these memory foam mattress on a recommendation.This mattress surpassed my expectations 😁😊When the box arrived it was super heavy, so best to have 2 people to help maneuver. The unboxing was easy. it just rolled out of the first layer of plastic and then I cut the vaccum seal starting at the corner first, laying it flat on my box spring then flipped it over as we removed the plastic. I gave it 6 hours before I slept on it. By that time it was 70-80 % expanded. I would say it took about 24 hours before it fully expanded. I love the density it's impressive. It sat on my box spring just fine.I'm a combination sleeper and this mattress hits all of my pressure points and curves perfectly so NO more back pain or hip pain. I weight 145lbs, when I turnover I don't feel that bounce. Also the reaction is really good. With 2 people sleeping on this mattress approximately 350lbs + you do feel the motion of the other person, just not as much as you would on a spring/coil mattress.The Lucid 12 inch Mattress runs firm. I didn't bother putting my mattress topper on because of foam reaction. When I lay down it hugs my curves just right.After sleeping on it for 3 days now, I feel no more pain. Added bonus for me is that my bedframe no longer moves around or squeaks because the mattress is so heavy. If you have a box spring that is 6 to 8 inches, this 12 inch mattress gives you great height for those that climbing in bed, rather than flopping in bed.Overall, this was a great buy. I am really impressed by this Lucid mattress so far. It has given me pain relief, great comfort, the price was just right and when I wake up I feel ready to go not achy and in pain. Also shipping was pretty quick too even during the Covid delays! I highly recommend for those with lower back and hip pain.Update: I've had this mattress for a year now and it's still the best mattress I've ever purchased. I'm pain free. 😊

We upgraded our bed from an Ikea mattress with a memory foam mattress topper. This bed is soft on the surface but still bouncy for science. I had no problems sleeping or performing a science experiment on this bed the first night. Edge support is excellent; can sit on the edge of the bed comfortably without feeling like I will slip off.We were initially skeptical of ordering this mattress from Amazon, as the return policy won't be pleasant to do after we open it up and find something wrong. Nonetheless we took the risk and saved a bunch of money, compared to buying from other premium online mattress stores.We slept on the bed after only 6 hours of opening it up as we were dead tired from moving to our new place. You definitely need 2 people for a queen size (or bigger) to help move and set this mattress up.

After owning a Lucid all memory foam plush mattress for about 5 years now, I was recommended to get a hybrid mattress for added support that the all memory foam does not offer. I was very happy with my other mattress all those years, but needed more support. So Got the Hybrid memory foam mattress in plush firmness as was my previous one. Well, I let it expand for the 72 hours like recommended, absolutely no bad odor, wich I was very pleased, but to my disapointment it caused me terrible hip pain. I could feel the springs under the foam and absolutely no support from the springs. I tried it a second night, thinking I need some time to adjust to new mattress, but was so much in pain that I cannot use it. I feel like I wasted almost $400 on a mattress I cannot use nor return as it does not fit back in the box. I went with the same firmness as my previous one that was perfect for me, but this one is definitely a super plush with absolutely no support. I hope Lucid can do something about this because its very disapointing.... Its a really nice looking mattress, fun to watch expand. Feels comfortable enough when you lay on your back for a few minutes, but not good for side sleepers.... What to do now with a mattress I cannot use nor put back in the box? If you like a very soft mattress with no support, then this one is a perfect fit for you, but if you have back issues and need support, yet not too firm, this will not do it.

I've had a month now to sleep on this new mattress, after 18 years sleeping on a very firm "regular" mattress. I probably should have stuck to a firmer model, which is my own choice/error. Laying flat on my back I find it causes middle/upper back pain. Laying flat on my side, it is a reasonably comfortable sleep. As it is paired with an adjustable bed base, that helps significantly. As long as I keep the head and foot raised at least a bit at all times the mattress if more comfortable.The mattress on its own, I don't love. But combined with the adjustable bed base, especially the massage function, it's a comfortable sleep.The mattress does appear to be of high quality construction. I have a firmer model of the same mattress on another regular bed in the house, and I prefer it (firmer).
