When it comes to the performance of the LUCID, we think that this mattress is as good as the top hybrid brands on offer. The medium firmness of the sleeping surface still provides enough pressure relief for side sleepers. The LUCID also removes the “quicksand” feeling when getting out of bed, that’s so common in many softer memory foam models.

The mattress provides optimal spinal alignment for back sleepers, and it’s one of the few mattresses available that we think caters for the needs of stomach sleepers as well. However, back sleepers that prefer a soft bed probably won’t enjoy sleeping on the medium surface of the LUCID.

In this case, try out one of their softer memory foam models, or consider adding a mattress topper to the LUCID to improve the plush feel of the mattress.

The 2-inch transition layer of responsive memory foam provides the LUCID mattress with excellent motion transfer throughout the layers of the mattress. The chances are that you won’t feel your partner get out of bed.

We decided to give the LUCID the acid test for motion transfer in a mattress. When we place a bowling ball on the right side of the mattress, and then climb into bed on the left-hand side – we experience no movement in the bowling ball.

This process involves the evaporation, or off-gassing” of volatile organic compounds, (VOCs) from the mattress. The majority of off-gassing happens at the factory before the manufacturer packages the bed for shipping.

However, upon unpacking your mattress, you may notice a strange odor, similar to the new car smell you get when driving a brand new car off of the lot. This off-gassing period lasts for a few days after you get your mattress, and there are no harmful chemicals involved in the process. Off-gassing in no way damages your health, and you don’t have to concern yourself about your children sleeping on the bed during this period either.

The LUCID 12-inch hybrid mattress sleeps cool. The airflow through the spring base and gel-infused memory foam layers are excellent, dispersing body heat away from your body toward the edge of the mattress.

The bamboo, charcoal, and aloe vera infusions in the memory foam also make a significant contribution to regulating the temperature of the sleeping surface. Bamboo and charcoal absorb heat, while aloe vera provides a cooling effect to the surface of the mattress. The combination of the two infusions results in one of the most breathable mattresses on the market, suitable for the warmest climates.

The LUCID 12-inch hybrid mattress comes with a 10-year warranty against any manufacturing defects. However, this is typically the industry standard, nothing outstanding. It’s important to realize that the warranty does not cover damage to the bed through normal wear and tear. The warranty is only valid for manufacturing defects, like faulty stitching.

We were disappointed to learn that Lucid doesn’t offer a sleep trial on any of their products. Considering that most other brands offer a 100-night sleep trail alongside a 10-year warranty, we were kind of disappointed. However, we changed our tune on the discovery that the company offers a 30-day money back guarantee through Amazon.

When it comes to value for money, you can’t go wrong with the LUCID. This mattress is affordable, and it has all the features of hybrids that are two or three times the price. The LUCID also offers a full-size 12-inch bed, where many other brands only offer a 10-inch at the same price level.

We would highly recommend this mattress to anyone on a budget, and it’s the ideal bed if you’re a landlord or guesthouse owner looking to replace your old mattresses. The quality of the construction and materials used in the design and manufacture of this mattress make it one of the leading brands available at this price point. Considering the all-around performance and features combined with attractive and affordable pricing – the Lucid could be the best.
