LUCID 12 Inch Hybrid Memory Foam Infused with Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera-Encased Spring Support-Medium Plush Feel-Motion Isolation Mattress, King, White/Black

We were replacing our 10 year old traditional spring mattress with pillow top and settled on this. We went to the local Mattress cartel to try out some mattresses. We like the comfort of foam but didn't care for how dead it felt compared to a traditional spring mattress. We found the hybrid mattresses tucked in the corner and it really seems like the best of both worlds.Now, on to this mattress:This mattress arrived as if it had come via a war zone, the box was barely holding together. Some tape on ALL of the seams would go a long way here. After I sneezed to open the box, the mattress was in good condition, thankfully they're not fragile. It arrives rolled up and you open it with their included opener which cut the plastic like a champ. Before I opened the plastic, I hefted it upstairs myself without much issue, besides the wife telling me I'm an idiot and should have waited for her. I'm not sure why, if I fell down the stairs I would have landed on this soft mattress! My one critique here is that the natural way it unrolled made the bottom of the mattress come out on top. This may be entirely random based on who at the factory rolls it, but it would be nice to have it unroll right side up.I waited for a few weeks to make sure I gave this mattress a fair shake before I reviewed it. It's comfortable. We replaced our old mattress because I was waking up every morning with a sore back. After a couple weeks with this mattress I can safely say that this isn't an issue anymore. If you try hybrid mattress at your local cartel, the firmness seems to be equivalent to the Sealy medium firm hybrid. It's just very slightly stiff for me at 160lbs and a side sleeper but I'm not complaining at all and I'm used to it now, If I sleep on my back the firmness is just about perfect. I tend to have a sleep temperature as if I was on fire, in fact if you lit me on fire I might cool down. That said I don't find this particular mattress to retain much heat for me.The mattress does a great job of isolating movement. I'm not sure if it's the same as a purely foam mattress but it must be pretty close. The wife tosses a lot at night and If I hooked up a generator to her while she slept, she could power the house. On the old spring mattress I would wake up a lot from her movement, but on this one I never feel it (unless I'm getting kicked in the face) and sleep much better.Because this is a hybrid mattress, there are springs in the base layer instead of all foam. I previously mentioned that the all foam mattresses felt dead, well this mattress does give the immediate spring back we're used to. So, when we roll over at night the mattress immediately returns to support you instead of the slow rebound with pure foam. This helps during recreational activities since the mattress gives your bouncing energy back, which means less fatigue.

We love, love, love this bed! We fell in love with hybrid mattresses at our local mattress store, but the price was nearly $3,000! I searched and searched online for an alternative and settled on this one from Lucid. Got a great price and we couldn't be happier! It is so comfortable and has completely changed how I sleep. I used to toss and turn all night, and my hips would get sore. Not anymore. I'd describe this mattress as medium plushy, but not mushy. Enough give to cradle joints and conform to your body. If you are needing a firm mattress, this is not for you. But for most folks, this would be perfect. It's like sleeping on a cloud! We got the 12-inch and I'm glad we did since we have an adjustable base and I think the 14-inch would been a big thick to bend with the bed. I think it gets a little warmer than a conventional mattress, but if I get too warm, I either kick off the covers or move a little to one side. Definitely not a deal-breaker by any means. The mattress came rolled up but quickly sprang to life and inflated to its full size in a matter of hours. There was a little bit of a synthetic smell, but that quickly dissipated. If you're on the fence about this mattress, don't be. It's great!

I have experienced a variety of mattresses over the years from 3k all latex to my favorite, waveless water mattresses. It was time to replace my soft sided bed, mattresses have come a long way in the last ten yrs or so, I thought I would once again try to find a suitable replacement for my beloved waveless soft sided bed. Went to the brick and mortar stores and tried every variety known to human kind. Had slept on a hybrid in a hotel and really loved it, didn't have that tempurpedic heavy mud feeling and super hot sleep, so the quest was to find a good hybrid for a reasonable price.After months of research and from previous experience with a super expensive bed that I ended up hating after only a few months I decided money wasn't always an indicator of what felt comfortable. I narrowed the choice down to a few, one from the brick and mortar and two from online, with Lucid high on the list, Muse and Nest respectively second and third. I'm an almost exclusive side sleeper, female and on the lighter side in weight for height.After reading reviews, watching more videos, I decided for the money and construction to try out the Lucid, even though returns wouldn't be as generous, but you do pay for that convenience with initial costs. The other beds were twice and then some on the price with virtually the same construction and feels. I read the lucid mattress seemed to pan out on the firmer side, which is ok because I already had a three inch memory foam topper at home. The mattress came in a few days after purchase, was super easy to open and decompressed within a few hours, couldn't smell any offgassing and slept on it the very first night. Now, switching from a super plush mattress to a more firm one was a huge change and wasn't so sure about it. I slept a few nights with the topper and a few without and have to say I am much more comfortable without the topper and it was just too much foam and slept too warm and sank too much. I purchased a thinner bamboo pad that is super soft and cozy with just a bit of loft and it's perfect. Sleeps cool and the bed has great support, best of all no dead arm in the morning.I'm coming back to this review after sleeping on the Lucid for 7 months now, I still think it's a well made and good bed just not for me. It's foams and springs are much firmer than I like, I would place it in the 7 category for firmness. I fully believe this mattress will last a long time and is best suited for the heavier person, not enough pressure relief for someone who's very light weight. So, I'm retiring this one to the guest bedroom and getting a name brand with softer coils and a bit more give in the foams. I still think this is a good mattress for the right person.
