LUCID 14 Inch Memory Foam Mattress - Plush Feel - Memory Foam Infused with Bamboo Charcoal and Gel - Temperature Regulating - Pressure Relief - Breathable - Premium Support - Full Size

After 12 years sleeping on a Sealy Posturepedic gel memory foam mattress, we decided to buy something new. We had bought Sealy’s firm memory foam mattress, but now that we are in our 60’s, we wanted something a lot softer to sleep on. After a month of searching the Internet and reading 100’s of reviews, we chose to purchase 2) of Lucid’s Plush Twin XL memory foam mattresses. We have a California King ergonomic base. With our remote controls, we can control our own side of the bed to be in any position we choose. Our old mattress’ were 8 inches tall. We bought the 14 inch Plush. Be prepared, it’s definitely much taller than our old mattress. We almost have to jump up onto our beds at night. Obviously it depends how tall your bed frame is. But once you are on it, it’s absolutely amazing. It’s so much softer than our old bed. It contours to our bodies and we are now sleeping like we did in our 30’s. We did not experience any foam mattress smell at all. We paid Amazon to install and remove our old mattress’. In about 8 hours, our mattress’ were good to sleep on. I can’t begin to tell you how nice it was to sleep on our new mattress the very first night. It was like we were sleeping on a cloud. It’s been more than a month now and we are still sleeping well and very sound. My wife use to wake up every hour due to her back pain. She now sleeps about 4 hours straight before waking up for the first time. That’s the major life change in our sleep patterns we were hoping for. We highly recommend our mattress to the rest of the folks here on Amazon. Our old mattress’ cost us $800 each. It cost us a little over $800 for both of our new Lucid mattress’. If you want a softer mattress, make sure you buy the Plush mattress. You won’t regret it.

I am strictly a side sleeper, and I have never had a mattress relieve pressure points like this mattress does for me - I feel nothing but great on my hips/backs/shoulders as soon as I get into this bed. My husband (back sleeper) feels a little encompassed by the mattress but not alot encompassed. My second best mattress for side sleeping has been a Westin Heavenly bed - but it's second best not first, and alot more money --- and I can feel those pressure points until my body relaxes which can take about an hour and maybe moving alot to get the kinks out - I don't know how but this does that as soon as I get into it. I have been doing alot of construction and alot of moving of heavy objects and this is the only bed I want to get into after that. I cannot offer an opinion about longevity/durability - but if it isn't good, I will try to remember to come back and say so.

Note to reader: This is an in depth review. I hope it helps in your search.For about a year, I have been conducting online research on mattresses waiting for the day when we could finally purchase new mattresses. I concluded that Talalay latex would likely be the best since I have a severe case of fibromyalgia. We went to our local mattress store to try one out. The three layer wasn’t soft enough. The four layer was better but not “it.” However, anything was a vast improvement on our now 16 year old mattress with its his and her respective ditches. I planned to buy online, but out of curiosity I asked the clerk how much it cost. Good thing we both were lying down at the time. Over $3500! Online prices started around $1500, much better but still a crazy price to me as I would need to add a foundation, sheets, etc. and do that times two since my husband and I sleep in separate bedrooms out of physical necessity. I figured we needed to save at least $4,000 for both of us to get new mattresses, which I could not wrap my head, nor my budget around.Six months later, my body was screaming for a new mattress. One day, we stopped at a different mattress shop to try out a memory foam mattress. I preferred the feel of the memory foam to the latex. Again, I asked how much. Again, we were glad we were lying down. They were having a sale: Queen size reduced from $1800 to $1299. I calculated about $3000++ for both of us to get fully situated, which was still a crazy price. I returned home and started round two of research.I searched “mattress” and “fibromyalgia” to help narrow my search. I went to Amazon and found Lucid and reviewed all of their mattresses. I watched a YouTube video about the 14 inch gel foam memory mattress by Goodbeds.com (I also watched Goodbeds video reviews of competitors) and felt that the Lucid 14 inch gel memory foam was the standard by which to compare all others. I took Goodbeds test to help narrow down likely best mattresses for me, which included questions about health issues and specifically fibromyalgia. They generated a list of mattresses that would support a side sleeper with fibromyalgia. The Lucid 14 inch gel memory foam was one of their top recommendations for me.In the Goodbeds video, they described the top 5 inches of foam as “premium comfort materials.” And they gave the density for each layer.Layer 1: 5.3 lbLayer 2: 3 lbLayer 3: 1.6 lbFurther research about density confirmed Goodbeds statement of “premium comfort materials.Out of curiosity I researched the competitor’s foam densities.T&N. Layer 1: 2.8. Layer 2: 1.8Dream Foam: Layer 1: 4, Layer 2: 2.5, Layer 3: 1.8Novabed, Casper, Nectar, Loom & Leaf, Ghost, etc. None came close to the density levels of the Lucid. None came close in price with prices starting at $800.Determining that quality and price couldn’t be beat, I ordered my Queen Lucid 14 inch gel memory foam mattress for under $500.As stated before I have a severe case of fibromyalgia, which means I am in pain 24/7. As stated before, the old mattress was greatly increasing my pain levels. I was waking up every 2-3 hours in pain. My hips and shoulders hurt greatly as I am a side sleeper. In the mornings, I was so stiff, that I needed to walk for at least 15-20 minutes to loosen up and to reduce the resultant pain spike. I was so tired by the end of my work day that I would be in bed by 6:00 or 7:00 pm. Needless to say, I was beyond excited to be getting a new mattress.However, my two main concerns were 1) firmness since there were a number of reviews who felt this particular mattress was firm m, and 2) off gassing as I am very sensitive to smells. Therefore, we bought my mattress first because if it was too firm or to smelly, my husband would take it as he doesn’t have issues with firmness or smells.The delivery day arrived. Like others have noted, the box it was in had has a hard cross country trip. It was a bit banged up, and the tape on the top had been fully slit. However, the mattress was still in the box and fully protected by the heavy duty plastic. The tool to cut it free was very useful. It was a bit cumbersome, but nothing two people couldn’t manage. Thankfully, my mattress had practically zero smell. My husband had to put his nose on the mattress to smell the off gassing. I just got the smallest of whiffs of off-gassing. It did not bother me at all and fully went away in a few hours. Finally, the mattress plumped up to 14 inches in 4 hours not the 24 hours some reviewers had experienced.Now the real test was to take place - Fibromyalgia vs Lucid! The winner? Lucid!!!My aching body feels like it has found a friend that fully understands how it feels and who wants to make it feel better. The mattress has the perfect balance of plush and support. Pain is not waking me up every 2 hours. My hips and shoulders do not ache. But most amazing of all is that when I get out of bed to start my day, I am not stiff AT. ALL.! I do not need to walk 15-20 minutes to loosen up. I figured the the overall stiffness was 100% fibromyalgia, but it wasn’t. In short, I am sleeping. I am also noticing that because I am better rested certain situations do not wipe me out like they used to. Finally, the memory foam keeps me at the right temperature. On my old mattress, I had to use a heated mattress pad because I was always cold, which increased my pain levels.The Lucid wins on so many levels: supportive comfort for a painful chronic illness, quality of materials, and price.

I searched out all the reviews I could on memory foam mattress's on the internet. I found that most are very expensive but so were the spring mattress's also, so I knew that I wanted to stay with a MF mattress but which one? I came across this one from Lucid. I first thought, it must not be that good for the price they are selling it for. Anyway, after reading as much as I could about it I went ahead and bought this 14" mattress. It's bit firmer than I would have liked but it seems to be better now that I have been sleeping on it for about 6 weeks or so. It filled out to the full 14 inches just fine. The cover seems really nice to the touch and all in all It's a well made mattress. I wouldn't say as nice as a Tempur-Pedic but dollar for dollar this is a much better value. And when I say "not as good as a Tempur-Pedic" I mean that the Tempur-Pedic being a bit more refined as far as manufacturing goes..... like I said, the Lucid mattress is your best bang for the buck. I didn't have nor could I afford $2800.00+ for a Tempur-Pedic. I'm very happy with this purchase. Peace.

This. Bed. Is. Incredible! Don't cheap out and think you will be comfortable on an 8" mattress because I tried and it was awful. And then I took a risk on this mattress and it is the best mattress I've ever slept on. I went to a mattress department today and said out loud "yuck" when I sat on a different mattress. I was hesitant to spend 550$ on this, because I thought there was no such thing as a quality mattress under 900$, but this was precisely what I was looking for.It is very firm, but not stiff. If you jumped on the mattress, you would feel like you were jumping on a hard surface, but lay for just a few second, and you would feel your body being cushioned just enough to make you feel like a cloud. I have used a soft foam mattress before and it felt awful, like sinking into quicksand. This mattress however has the perfect balance between firmness and comfort. You might think I am being paid by Lucid to praise their mattress so much, but this is all spoken from the heart. I hope some day someone will see this review, and not make the same mistakes I made before finding this. Believe me, this is what you've been looking for.One oddity, is the cashmere cover. It's too thin to be any benefit under a fitted sheet, and you would be crazy to sleep on this mattress without a sheet, so it seems kind of like an odd feature, though it takes nothing away from the mattress and the price is still excellent for the quality.

This mattress is incredible. It is firm, but you do sink into it. My wife likes firm and I like softer mattresses. The sinking in feeling gives the impression of softness, the firmness means that you don't sink to far, and the memory foam around you holds its shape until you move and then you will feel the memory foam re-shape itself around you. The mattress is true to size - although it seems to fill out the bed more than my old spring mattress did. Definitely follow the instructions. lay it out for 48 hours before sleeping on it to allow it to regain its full size. Mine came up to just over 13 inches so I was quite happy. You will need deep pocket sheets for this. I bought 14" sheets and that particular brand is a tight fit. This mattress is very comfortable on your back and side. If you've never slept on a foam mattress before - it takes a little getting used to. Because it hold your body in a proper position it might feel strange. The first night I thought my bed was angled with the feet higher. The top half of your body is hotter and heavier than your legs, so your torso sinks in more, leaving your legs higher than they would be on a regular spring mattress. While it feels like your feet are raised, this is actually your body sleeping the correct position since the mattress forms to you, not the other way around. I love feeling the mattress form around me and I can feel it supporting the small of my back instead of my back trying to flatten out to accommodate a no give spring mattress. It took me a few nights to stop noticing the different feel and now I love it. You can not beat the comfort for the price you are paying. This mattress comes in a box and is vacuum packed and rolled. The box is about 6 feet tall (queen size) and about 2x2. It weighs just under 100 lbs (memory foam mattresses are heavy). Also be aware of the requirements for the base underneath the mattress. You can not use a box spring that has springs in it. The box spring must be the solid wood type, or a platform.

I have the 14 inch it’s great value ! Took a while to get used to and not super firm.. but if you like a slightly softer mattress this is it ! The delivery was fast and unboxing and reaching full height was no issue at all. Also there was no odour like other reviews mentioned.

My husband and I couldn't handle any more sleepless nights. Our employer had given us a brand new mattress/box spring and we both had chronic back pain. We were then offered a memory foam mattress to help with the pain, but the one they provided was cheap an thin. Finally we sucked it up and bought our own.Greatest decision ever. We both sleep like rocks and wake rested for the first time in months. There's a 100 pound weight difference between the two of us but the bed is equally supportive for us both and it doesn't sag on one side more than the other.This mattress has a softer top layer than the one we had before we moved across the country (we had to leave it behind), but it actually helps me sleep on my back much more comfortably and aligns my spine.The washable cover is plush and seems to be of good quality.This matress is worth ten times the price in terms of the improvement its made to our quality of life.
