r/Mattress on Reddit: Mattress topper
August 23, 2024 -

I am wanting to buy a mattress topper. I am debating between the brands Lucid or Sleep innovation. Mainly because of price!

Has anyone ever used these before? What was your experience? Or does anyone have any affordable recommendations?

So when looking at memory foam toppers the best metric to measure quality will be the density. Not to be confused with firmness, for memory foam its density and firmness are not necessarily related. You will want to consider the feedback on firmness to try to match your own personal needs. This can be difficult because there are all sorts of body types and preferences out there, so for every topper that exists there will be people saying its too firm, and people saying its too soft. Generally speaking the heavier you are the firmer you need, as you will bottom through a topper that is too soft and it will actually provide insufficient pressure relief. Some vendors will tell you the firmness, the vendors I like will tell you its ILD, which is a metric to measure the compression for comparison of firmness. But for most youre stuck sifting through reviews and trying to get a feel for how often people say its too soft, vs too firm, and making a judgement based on that. Not easy when no one is telling you their weight and sleep position. With all that blabbering out of the way. Youre already looking a 2 very popular affordable options. Both are around 2lb density memory foam which is on the low side. There are cheaper toppers made by companies like Linenspa, but they will be even worse quality than what you are looking at. One that offers a slightly better value is This Amazon Basics gel topper which is about 2.5lb density memory foam for $75. So mediocre quality for a good price, not a terrible deal. You would just want to be sure the feedback on the firmness matches your preferences.

I’ve never tried either of those brands. But I can recommend mattress toppers from Sleep365. Their toppers are GOTS-certified organic, safe, and non-toxic. You can pick wool or latex, so you can get whichever works best for maintaining your body temperature. I live in a hot climate, so I have the latex one, and I love it. The outer cover is washable too, which is a big help for me since my dog likes to hang out on the bed, and occasionally, he’s messy.

r/Mattress on Reddit: BED BUGS in Lucid Mattress Topper!
January 9, 2024 -

What the hell!? I just got my mattress topper from Amazon today and found not only a dried up dead fly, other unidentifiable dead insects, but LIVE BED BUGS! I had to throw away an expensive bed sheet then sprayed my entire bed down with permethrin.

Lucid shouldn't be in business!

LUCID SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS! Their foam is the cheapest quality and their positive reviews must all be fake! Everything the negative reviews say are all TRUE! I made the mistake of purchasing a 4” topper as a temp fix for a mattress and had to throw the thing in the trash! I don’t weigh much and even still the foam would develop a giant “sink hole” where your mid section is and if you get up and come back 5 min later the indent is still there! It’s the lowest density, zero recovery foam and I even contacted them to inquire about the ILD rating and the supposed 3 year warranty (as no info came in the box) and was treated horribly by their customer service, basically told “we don’t give that information”. If I had a dog I wouldn’t even cut this up and make into a dog bed, just complete garbage!!! Amazon and companies like Home Depot are generally easy to work with and will refund you and hopefully at some point will drop this company as a vendor. I am on a mission to put Lucid out of business and warn everyone not to purchase anything from this company!!! Cheap memory foam is exactly what it is…. CHEAP! But this is next level. Unless you enjoy sleeping in a jack knifed position and causing permanent damage to your spine, well in that case just buy a hammock and sleep in that, it would be better than anything Lucid sells.

May 26, 2025 -

My roommate and a friend have a cheap Amazon mattress + foam topper combo that I also found comfortable and would like to get. I am thinking of splurging on a nicer topper than they did; I am torn between the lucid 4” gel memory foam topper and the sleep on latex pure green natural latex 3” topper.

I was also looking at the saatva graphite mattress topper, so if it’s good I’d like to hear your thoughts.

I am a 5’11” 200lb side sleeper and have never chosen my own mattress before so I have analysis paralysis. I live in a very hot and humid climate so I’d like something that can keep me relatively cool. Any advice would be nice!

r/Mattress on Reddit: How to make a mattress very slightly softer? 2" Lucid topper is too much
November 8, 2024 -

TLDR: Firm mattress makes my shoulders hurt from pressure, but all the toppers I've tried are too soft. What to do? My 2" topper is too much, and most thinner ones have terrible reviews.

The mattress is a Nectar Premier. I used to have a different Nectar Premier that felt pretty good, but this one seems harder. Without a topper, my shoulder hurts a lot from pressure. I'm using a 2" Lucid topper, and it was great (albeit a bit thicker than necessary) at first. But after two months of use, it collapsed in the middle, and I've sometimes woken up with neck pain that lasts for days because I'm sleeping in a pit. A thicker topper left me with back pain.

If I had a mattress topper that was half as thick and didn't collapse, that would be great. I'm 5'2", female, and 110-115 pounds, and I sleep on my side. I'm bottom-heavy and in an ideal world I'd have more firmness under my hips and more pressure relief under my shoulders, but a regular old mattress topper would be fine.

I chatted with them because I wanted to know if their mattresses have fiberglass (I’d rather avoid the stuff). They literally refuse to answer the question. The only conclusion I can come up with is that they are intentionally trying to deceive people. Just be careful with a company like that.

Note that it isn’t as simple as “does it have fiber glass.” Many many mattresses use fiber glass in ways that are safe. The question is how it’s used.

I actually got burned by this. Had two Lucid Mattresses. Both had zipper covers and care instructions that said washable. I was careless and didn't check the content label, both mattresses had a fire sock that contained fiberglass and ended up removing the cover and washing. Got fiberglass all over the cover, rendering them unusable, and now have fiberglass all over the rooms they were in. Looking at Lucid's responses to other complaints, it sounds like the covers are not washable and the care instruction was a mistake. From what I've gathered now that I'm on a fiberglass free crusade, Lucid has certain models that may not use it, but I'm guessing the majority of their fire socks use it. That being said, as long as you don't open the cover and the fiberglass doesn't start breaking through the cover, you should be ok. To be fair, no fiberglass ever broke through the cover in the 10 years and 3 years we used them until we decided to machine wash the cover mistakenly, but we aren't taking the chance anymore. Fiberglass doesn't have long term risks that we know of so far, it's more of a nuisance. It can irritate your skin and lungs if it embeds in your skin or you breathe in a lot of it. Gets on your clothes and can sometimes enter your HVAC system if the contamination is bad enough. On top of this, I can't even trust the reviewers online or the company blogs. We just received our replacement Zoma mattress. All the blogs and their own site touted a fiberglass free bed, but the content label once again says the fire barrier has 50% fiberglass. I'm in talks with Amerisleep, another "fiberglass" free mattress. They are claiming a rayon Greenguard certified fire sock, so no fiberglass. However, I'm asking for a % breakdown, as I don't trust that it is only rayon in the contents. Maybe it's majority rayon but still has fiberglass.

My girlfriend and I have been looking around for a mattress topper and we can't decide on what is the best for the price as well as what will last the longest. Do any of you have experience with certain brands? So far these are what we have found

MattressPrice
Lucid Ventilated Memory Foam Mattress$72.99
Twin Size 3 Inch Thick Memory Foam Mattress Topper$94.35
Carpenter Memory Foam Twin Mattress Topper$30.27
Sleep Master 2-Inch Gel Memory Foam Topper$54.99

In case it isn't obvious I am looking for a twin size one and these are the ones I have found within my price range. Are any of them worth the extra cash for their quality and are there any better options out there as far as price to quality ratio goes?

October 1, 2023 -

Hey folks,

Lately, my mattress and I have been at odds, prompting me to consider the idea of investing in the best mattress topper I can find before splurging on a brand-new mattress. I've come across quite a few praises about how a good mattress topper can revamp the comfort level of an existing mattress.

I'm eyeing a topper that strikes a nice balance between being cushy and supportive, particularly for my back. My budget is capped at around $200, but I'm open to exceeding it a tad if the topper is a standout.

I’ve heard some good things about the Tempur-Pedic, Lucid, and Linenspa brands. Anyone has experience with these or any other brands you'd recommend?

Also, an easy-to-clean and maintain topper is high on my wishlist. And if there are certain materials or brands known for their durability and comfort, I'm all ears.

I'm all set to dive into the suggestions from this savvy community.

Thanks a ton in advance!

Hi guys! So I've settled down on Lucid mattress with 2 inch talalay topper.
The only thing I haven't decided yet is the firmness of the mattress - I'm wondering if it should be a firm or a medium one.

So basically, 6 inch firm gel memory Lucid mattress with soft 2 inch talalay topper

or

10 inch medium gel memory Lucid mattress with soft 2 inch talalay topper

What are your thoughts and have you had experience with similar set ups?

r/Mattress on Reddit: Do ventilated, gel-infused toppers help retain the benefits of a cooling mattress?
June 14, 2025 -

I bought the Lucid gel-infused, ventilated 2” mattress topper on Amazon. It has small holes all over it which is what provides the ventilation. Is this enough to not ruin the cooling features of my mattress?

I woke up yesterday with a very stiff neck and I suspect my firm mattress is to blame. I also purchased a cervical support memory foam pillow, so hopefully that helps.

Edit: I exchanged the 2” for the 3” Lucid topper. It’s awesome! It does get a little warm but not bad. The true test will be a heat wave. It’s so comfortable though. I do worry that it’s too plush to provide proper support but the mattress is just way too firm.

Hey , I recently bought the lucid 3 inch mattress topper for my college apartment. Initially the topper was comfortable for me but then I started noticing that I would wake up with knee pain/ discomfort and with some neck pain.

I believe the topper is the the culprit here, as my discomfort would go away if I got rid of the topper from my mattress or when I go home and sleep on my bed there, I have no discomfort in the morning. I've also kind of decided that the 3 inch topper was too soft for me.

What do yall recommend? I would still like some cushion for my apartment bed, so I was thinking of getting a 1.5 inch topper instead

r/Mattress on Reddit: Mattress topper for bad mattress. Please help
January 15, 2022 -

Recently I’ve moved away for college and live in an apartment that came with its own mattress. The mattress is awful, it’s extremely worn, slumps down in the middle where I can feel springs, and overall feels like sleeping on reinforced cardboard. I am a side sleeper and it hurts all of my pressure points like my shoulder, pelvis and knees. I bought a 3 inch memory foam mattress topper from Lucid off of Amazon and initially I was excited to sleep on it, but after the first night I noticed that my hips tend to sink deeply into it and it puts my back out of alignment, even when I sleep on my side and I woke up with lower back pain.

Is there any way to help with this? Should I continue to use this mattress topper? What toppers do you guys think are most ideal for my situation? (I don’t want a new mattress as it would make moving out in 4 months really annoying and I have nowhere to store the old mattress as I can’t throw it out)

TLDR: need a good mattress topper for worn, hard mattress that still provides back support.

I'm no expert, but sounds like you need a new mattress! If the mattress is awful, as you described, no topper is going to be a vast improvement, is the way I understand it. There are very affordable options out there, or you could buy a mattress second hand. You could surely find a big upgrade for not a whole lot of money if you look around.

In regards to the sinking of the existing mattress, a thick firm latex topper will make it sink less but it will still sink (ie sleep on latex firm 3") . Besides the sinking. it sound like the mattress itself is too firm for you so a firm topper will still be uncomfortable.The lucid topper is very low-density memory foam. it makes a mattress surface softer but won't fix sinking or support issues.Can you still return the lucid topper? 3 pcf memory foam is about as as unsupportive as foam gets.A zinus 10" or thicker mattresses are decent for 6mos-2years and start are $200-400. It's cheaper than a good topper (maybe ask if you can get rid of the existing mattress and split the cost with the land lord, or just pay for the whole thing and let him keep the zinus?). $40- $100 foam topper are all similarly bad. Just for padding, supper sinky. If it was me and I had to keep the old mattress, Id put 3/4" ply wood over the mattress out a 3" firm latex topper and a 2" soft/medium latex topper (or 2" memory foam thats at least 5lb/sq foot).I can vouch for the quality of the 3" firm sleep on latex topper, its pricey, very firm, very supportive, very durable.It took me a while to find a mattress after my foam mattress started sagging. I did that for a year til I found a new mattress. Still use the double topper on the floor for guests.

We bought a medium Lucid mattress 10" and it's too soft. It's been giving us back pain and hip pain. What's our best option for a topper that will make our bed more firm? So many I'm seeing are meant to make already firm beds more plush. I want the opposite! We are both 5'5" and between 180-210lbs. Ideally looking to spend $300 or less.

I’m old and I forgot you are not supposed to remove the cover. When my grandson peed on it I wanted to wash it. When I opened it up it was in what looked like a linen bag. Could be what they are calling a rayon sleeve. But the tag says do not remove the mattress cover I swear if I had saw a bear mattresses that would have triggered my memory to not remove it. It wasn’t tell later that I remember. I haven’t seen any fiber glass I used a flashlight in the dark to check. Do you think I’m in the clear? Why would they label it do not remove if there is not fiberglass? Is there something besides my memory that I should worry about? I bought it on Amazon in 12/22 is a Lucid

2 inch or 3 inch mattress topper? : r/Mattress
February 19, 2021 - I had a firm old mattress and I eneded up with a 3 inch topper. I find it a little warm but I love the feel. I would say depends on how firm your bed is but you're going to generate some heat regardless ... If it’s for your college-provided dorm room Twin XL mattress, definitely the 3-inch. Those dorm room mattresses are so industrial. If it’s actually a decent mattress that you just want to make softer then the two inch will work fine. The lucid is nice!
