I just bought one and had my 3rd night on it and I am absolutely inlove! Firm but just soft enough to cradle all your curves and hugs you but it doesn’t sink in as much as other memory foams. I really recommend this to everyone!
Hoping for a recommendation, I love your bed reviews. I am looking into buying the Lucid gel memory foam mattress based on a lot of different factors; however, I am having a hard time deciding between the firm and medium-plush models (these are the two available for the mattress I am looking at. I am a combination sleeper: I spend 1/3 of my time on my stomach and the rest on my side. I have just realized during this research that my last two mattresses were both fairly firm (currently sleeping on a cocoon by sealy). Because I have slept on a firm mattress for so long I don't know if I would prefer a slightly softer type bed. I don't know if you have also encountered the firm version of the Lucid gel mattress, but I am hoping for some advice. If the firm mattress is less firm that a cocoon then I would go with the firm (I have a fear of sinking into a memory foam mattress) but if the firm is equal to the cocoon It might be good for me to try the medium-plush?
Thank you for the thorough review. Recently I've become predominantly a stomach sleeper. I used to sleep on my back and side. So which mattress is better for me? I currently have an Ikea queen mattress which isn't a good fit for me (neck sprains, right arm pain). I have to sleep with my hands on my thighs while on my stomach...which puts tension on my neck. Help!
Stomach sleeping generally calls for a firm mattress to support your hips. Check out my list of best mattresses for stomach sleepers here: sleepopolis.com/best-mattress/best-mattress-for-stomach-sleepers/
I have had this mattress for about 2 weeks now. At first it was super firm and seemed to make my lower back hurt. Now it seems a little better and softer but still not great. Will it get even better over time? If not I might have to get rid of the memory foam mattress and go back to a spring mattress that I have always used before this one. Would love to hear a long term sleep review of this mattress.
@@Kate__123 I really really love it now! Super comfortable and it breaks in over time. Great mattress IMO! It is still a firmer mattress but gets so much more comfortable and softer over time. No back pain or anything anymore. The thing I really love is that it is now super comfortable but you don't sink in overly deep. It contours to your body nicely but you don't sink in deeply making you get hot or making you wake up sweating, like I have heard some other memory foam mattresses do. I highly recommend this mattress if you are willing to give it some break in time because after it breaks in it is really really comfy. The price is also very good! Hope that is of some help if you are considering buying.
I’ve noticed mine has gotten much softer now that I’ve had it for 2 months. I usually like really soft but found that the firmness when I got it was great for my back. Now it’s softer for sure 😂 still a great mattress either way - especially for the price
@@abb4538 Not sure the firmness on mine. I am a side and back sleeper. About 50% for both. This mattress was super firm for several weeks. Almost like a soft brick. It really had no give at all for those first few weeks. lol The longer I slept on it though the softer it has become without being to soft. It is still firm but way better and more comfortable, if that makes sense. For the prices IMO the Lucid memory foam mattresses are good. At least you won't spend $700-$1000 to decide if you hate it lol.
what could discourage a side sleeper from buying this mattress? you rated it quite firm, but you did say it was pressure-relieving. is firmness always a negative for side sleepers?
Too firm can be a big negative for side sleepers but you don't want to sacrifice proper support. I wouldn't recommend going over a medium firm option for side sleepers.
I recently bought this exact mattress, is there a long break in period? It’s not plush at all, and the “cooling” effect is actually a furnace that absorbs my own body heat and blasts it back at me at 200%. There’s no give at all, my first night and my shoulder is locked up, hip out of alignment and my back, chest and neck have never felt so bad
I have this mattress in a twin, weigh 240 pounds, and a combo sleeper side & back. I sleep easily in it BUT often have lower back pain, not enough support for me.
I have this in 12 inch plush and I’m wondering which one is softer. Because the memory foam measurement is the same but the base is higher density in the 12. I’m wondering if I should get the 10 inch and add a topper?
@@SleepopolisThank you! not sure what you meant by more information (as in my symptoms or … ) btw forgot to mention the mattress I'm interested has charcoal and aloe vera.. if that makes a difference :/
I have the twin size half the mattress is super soft the other half is very firm it's annoying and I apparently waited to long to see if it would even out for getting a new one
i got the 5 inch firm and loved it. till three years later it feels like a plush. great mattress, love the quality, and feel, but just not that it lost the extra firm feel over a short bit of time. im a light weight guy with back issues so now three years later, im looking for a new bed. maybe necause there is no spring support under the foam? I only overheated when using my sleeping bag btw
Yea a coil support system could definitely help the firm support last a little longer. Lucid also makes hybrid mattresses that could be a good fit for you.
Is this Lucid mattress comparable to the Douglas mattress? I know the Lucid mattress is way cheaper than Douglas but they are almost the same, correct?
Hello, I am trying to decide between the lucid gel plush 10" and the nectar 11". The nectar is alot more $($181 vs $470 for twin xl), but not sure if its worth the extra $, especially since I am buying 2. We are mostly side sleepers, 200 and 250 lbs, and might consider a topper to get a mattress perfect and also want to get an adjustable base eventually. I'm concerned with shoulder and back pain, mostly from arthritis. Thanks for the info
The Layla is like $700 more than a lucid lol ..I'm thinking most people interested in something like a lucid aren't trying to spend that much. Maybe a good alternative would be a softer foam or down topper on a lucid
I just bought one of these mattresses and it says allow 48 hours to fully expand, but it's been a few hours and it already looks fully expanded. Do you think it would be okay to use it before 48 hours?
Yea I think 48 hours is a bit to the safe side. I generally recommend at least a few hours if not overnight for bed in a box mattresses to expand. You can probably sleep on it after a few hours but it won't have it's full level of support yet.
I know this was written a month ago but just so you know Lucid brand recommends 48 hours but when I called them a few hours after I bought my mattress they said it's actually okay to sleep on it after about six hours as long as it appears mostly expanded. (Just for future reference or if anybody else asks you in the future.)
Total junk per my experience with my Serbian-made Full-XL sample. 240 stocky pounds and the feel is very firm at first, no soft feeling memory foam at all. Lay in it for a few hours on my back with body heat, and I am bottomed out in a huge pit as if in a bathtub, with very hard sides you can not easily move to... As if sitting on a step. By FAR the worst mattress I have ever bought.

I like that it keeps us cool and warm during all seasons . I like that has gel memory to help our bodies and nosinking .
Still enjoying your mattress?
Glad to see I’m not the only one that mix and matches my dress socks
Do you think this is a good bed for side sleepers/combination, my bed now is really firm and normally wake up with back pain
I am mainly a stomach sleeper, but I like a mattress that slowly sinks in. I’m not a big fan of firm mattresses. Any recommendations?
WOAH this lucid gel looks amazing,thanks for sharing this.
Of course!

I need a good one for side sleeping thats on the cheap end. Ones that are too firm make my arm go numb

Did it ever break In cause I’m having the same issue

My back hurts is ok for my firm Lucid refresh 10 o 12inch
Very nice review! Couldn't be more comprehensive :)
This is way much better that the lull and is only a quarter of the price than lull
Hi, I suffer from upper and lower back pain as well as knee problems. Would a Lucid Hybrid 10 in be a good choice?
It could, I think it has a nice medium feel and good mix of support and pressure relief, but it's tough to say without more information
@@SleepopolisThank you! not sure what you meant by more information (as in my symptoms or … ) btw forgot to mention the mattress I'm interested has charcoal and aloe vera.. if that makes a difference :/

They both use gel memory foam but the Douglas has a bit more mobility and bounce to it than the Lucid.
thank you for your reply
I weight about 120pds, will the 6in do?
I do like the price on this one.
What is the difference between a FULL and a Full XL? 5" in length. I am 5' 10". Does it matter?
Yep, It's 80" in length, and I have one. Terrible mattress, but great size. I'm 5'11", and a standard length mattress I find too short.
I'm trying to figure out which LUCID mattress is the best for a strict side sleeper. I weigh 170lbs.
I think the Gel Memory Foam would be good for strict side sleepers
What firmness would you recommend for a side sleeper under 200lbs
Hmmm, something in the 5-6/10 range would probably do it.
what happens to the gel in winter? will I freeze while sleeping?
Nope, while it will stay cooler than normal memory foam I wouldnt worry about freezing!
Yes you will freeze with mattress and stuck with it
We have a sealy posturepedic hybrid and are looking for a mattress for the rv, how does this compare to that?
Just got mine. I freakin love it
Miss inga do you still love it? Considering purchasing ❤️
What firmness did you buy? And do you still love it?

Both are nice memory foam feels, I would say the Nectar allows for a bit more sinkage and pressure relief, but the lucid sleeps a bit cooler.
My husband a d I bought this mattress and we hate it it is too firm for us looking for plush
Check out the Layla for a softer memory foam feel: th-cam.com/video/k4cp2bAN-n4/w-d-xo.html
I got it too but I heard it’s better to be a little firm because over the next couple months it gets softer
The Layla is like $700 more than a lucid lol ..I'm thinking most people interested in something like a lucid aren't trying to spend that much.
Maybe a good alternative would be a softer foam or down topper on a lucid

@@dirtybuttslut1173 Nighslee？ It seems to be under $500，looks good
As someone who owns this mattress don't buy it if you enjoy sleeping on your back it's terrible for back sleepers..which I am >.
