What does lucid mean?
According to the Oxford Dictionary, lucid is defined as
“aware of dreaming, and able to control events consciously”
So, how does a mattress with that name stand up to its definition?
Let’s find out in this lucid mattress review!
Best For People Who
- are looking to furnish their guest or child's bedroom or students living in dorms
- are back and side sleepers with smaller frames
- are looking for something plain, simple and does the job

Is Lucid a Good Memory Foam Mattress?
Lucid Mattress scored an overall rating of 69%!
Scoring within the 60-69% range means that it’s a solid product – it should meet all your needs.
Lucid Mattress Review - Layer by Layer
The Lucid Mattress is one of the more affordable, best-selling beds you can get shipped directly to you from Amazon.
We’re reviewing the 10-inch gel memory foam mattress below.
It’s a firm, dual-layer mattress that gives you some contouring. We’ll go into more detail about the two layers below.
Works great with an adjustable base, this 70 lb memory foam is offered in the standard sizes.
Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King and Cali King, and comes in two firmness options.
- Medium-Firm – better for back sleepers, Lucid’s firmness scale = 8/10
- Plush – better for side sleepers; Lucid’s firmness scale = 5/10
Today, we’re looking at the plush!
Simple yet supportive, this mattress only has two layers: 3” of gel memory foam on top of 7” of support foam.
Let’s break it down even further.
Mattress Cover - Premium Tencel Cover
Lucid Mattress’ unique fabric cover blend uses premium Tencel – that is 10% Tencel lyocell and 90% polyester.
This material lets you sleep soundly at night without overheating.
I’m sure we’ve all woken up in a hot, sweaty fashion before. Not my favorite thing in the world, and I think you feel the same.
What is Tencel?
Tencel is a trademark brand of lyocell fiber manufactured by Lenzing AG, a European-based company.
This material is commonly used in everyday products like baby wipes, clothing, towels, medical dressing and even conveyor belts.
What is Lyocell?
Commonly referred to as a cotton alternative, lyocell is made of wood pulp from natural forests and plantations.
It’s a known sustainable, bio-degradable material because it recycles and reuses water and solvent in its production process.
Benefits of Tencel:
- Absorbs moisture to keep you cool and dry
- Limits bacteria growth – hypoallergenic
- Strong and flexible yet light, soft and smooth to the touch
- Naturally wrinkle-free
- Minimal static charge
Top Layer - 3” Contouring Gel Memory Foam
This is the soft layer that tailors to your body’s every curve and relieves pressure points while you sleep.
So, you don’t wake up with any soreness or pain.
The gel is infused in the memory foam so it can help regulate body temperature and prevent any overheating.
This foam is also CertiPUR-US certified, just like the base layer underneath it.
As with all memory foam, it has a natural motion-isolation ability.
So, you don’t have to worry about spilling your favorite cup of coffee on the bed, or waking up your partner at 4am to use the restroom.
You know, whichever one is more important to you 😉
Base Layer - 7” CertiPUR-US Certified Support Foam
A full 7 inches of high-density base foam makes up the bottom support.
This is great for keeping your spine in neutral alignment while you get your nightly rest!
This support foam is also CertiPUR-US certified, so you can rest assured that only safe material with no to low harmful emissions are used.
Lucid Mattress: Return, Warranty, Shipping & More!
Other than the mattress, what are the other (non-physical) things that come with it like?
You know, the important stuff, like this:
Weight Limit
Untested but can support around 300 lbs.
They currently do not test their mattresses for weight limits, but the customer service team said 300 lbs should be fine.
Most mattresses are able to hold up 250 lbs comfortably, so I’m confident that Lucid is similar.
Sizes Available
The Lucid mattress comes in the 6 standard sizes: Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and California King.
Let’s look at more detail together!
Lucid Mattress Customer Service
There are 3 main ways to communicate with Lucid directly:
- Phone number: 1 (888) 975-8243
You can call them any time from 9am-5pm MST on Monday to Fridays
My FB messages didn’t seem to be sending right away (it’s probably the server on my end) so it took a while for me to get a response.
However, I found that the answers to my questions were more comprehensive and thorough when compared to their email support.
For those who like Live Chat, I would use FB Messenger as a substitute.
- Email: online @ lucidmattress.com
They got back to me pretty quickly!
I submitted my questions on a Sunday, and the next morning they had already replied to me. That was the longest I ever had to wait via email.
During business hours, they responded to my emails within just a few hours. The speed is very good!
- HQ office – 1525 W. 2960 S. Nibley, UT 84321
Bonus! Though I doubt anyone will let you in without a booked appointment. Won’t blame you for trying though!
Overall, their customer service is not bad, but I wasn’t blown away by it.
I found that through email, they didn’t seem to like going into detail with their responses, so you might want to prompt for specifics.
Perhaps, due to the sheer volume of enquiries, it may be impossible for them to get back to everyone with very thorough answers – not sure!
If you have a situational question or want more detail, I suggest to call them directly.
Lucid Mattress Return Policy
30 days.
I know, not very on par with industry standards of a 100 or 120-day sleep trial.
However:
- they will accept returns with no questions asked for a full refund
- unlike other companies, they don’t force you to try it out for 30 days first. You have the flexibility to return it the moment you decide it’s not the right bed for you.
Note that it needs to be in its original packaging in order to be accepted as a return. If you opened it, then you can exercise your warranty.
How to Return?
- Initiate contact
Email the Customer Service team at online @ lucidmattress.com or call them at 1 (888) 975-8243 to ask for a refund within the first 30 days of delivery.
- Attach a copy of your receipt or Order ID
- They will give you 2 options:
- If you haven’t opened it yet, then you can mail it back with a prepaid shipping label that they’ll send you.
- If you opened it already, then you can either pay out of pocket for mattress removal (they don’t offer that service) OR prove that you donated the expanded mattress to a local charity under the ‘Lucid Mattress’ name.
If unboxed, for the sake of convenience and good karma, I’d donate it. I mean, what can they do with my used mattress anyway?
Lucid Mattress Warranty
10 years!
They were offering 25 years but has since shortened to 10 years for what I can only assume as economical reasons.
Just like the “Lucid by Linenspa” naming convention, some websites may not have updated this information yet.
In short, you can only file a claim for manufacturer defects. If the claim is successfully accepted, Lucid will either replace the mattress or issue you a full refund.
How to make a Warranty Claim:
Generally, a pretty intuitive process, though they don’t give out the details on their website. Instead, watch this warranty instruction video that Lucid Mattress made themselves!
You will need a:
- copy of the sales receipt or Order ID number
- high-resolution camera to take 3 photos – your phone’s camera should be good enough
- tape measure or ruler
- straight broom handle – to measure the mattress
- one other person
Claim your Warranty in 6 Easy Steps:
- Take everything off the mattress so that it’s bare.
And, I mean EVERYTHING – pillows, sheets, topper, protector, blankets…etc. You want to be able to see the brand’s logo.
- [PHOTO 1] Take a picture of the entire bed on its base.
Don’t crop out any part of the product!
- [PHOTO 2]
With the broom handle across the bed,a) measure the indentation of the mattress with your ruler or tape measure
b) have a friend take a photo at mattress levelRemember to do the dip gently and not to press down with more force than you need to!
- Remove the mattress from the base
- [PHOTO 3] Take one more picture of just the base with the bed removed
- Email all 3 photos with sales receipt/Order ID Number to warranty @ lucidmattress.com
Lucid Mattress Shipping - Where To?
Currently, it’s free shipping within the 48 contiguous states.
Orders are processed pretty quickly – usually 24-48 hours – and after 5-7 business days, it should arrive at your doorstep.
Thanks to their well-positioned warehouse locations on the west and east coast, we don’t have to wait too long to get our new mattress.
If the shipment is delayed or they can’t ship it, you’ll be notified or fully refunded.
Order Status
You can track your package and get order status updates after you purchased the item by clicking on the link in your confirmation email or entering your assigned tracking number on the carrier’s website.
White Glove Delivery, Expedited Shipping or Mattress Removal?
No, no and no 🙁
But they do have a good explanation of why not.
It is because of their ‘no-frills’ nature that they are able to offer such amazing value to customers, like me and you.
If they tacked on any of the premium services, then the price would probably not be as affordable.
Where to Buy Lucid Mattress?
Honestly, everywhere…in America and Canada.
It is literally on every major retailer’s website, you can even get it on Amazon.
It’s ridiculously accessible for a bed-in-a-box, which is a GREAT thing.
Is Lucid Mattress toxic?
Nope!
They are a proud recipient of the CertiPUR-US certification.
Participating companies with CertiPUR-US products need to be reassessed each year and are subjected to random testing.
Having this logo signifies that the foam in the product is safe to use – no harmful chemicals, like lead, formaldehyde or mercury, and has minimal off-gassing.
If a mattress provider doesn’t have the CertiPUR-US logo for their foam mattresses, you probably wouldn’t want to buy from them!
