I ordered six of the Lucid five inch mattresses two years ago and loved them right away. It has been 2 years now and since I am always looking for reviews on product longevity I thought someone might find this review useful.
Some background info as far as usage is concerned: these mattresses are in our boys rooms. We have six boys ranging in age from 2 to 16 and weight from 38 to 200 pounds. The mattresses are placed on built in beds with platforms for support (as recommended).
What we LOVE about these mattresses:
1. These beds are comfortable. I don't just mean acceptable for kids comfortable. I am talking about if you lay down to help your toddler take a nap you will likely be taking one, too. We seriously were not expecting this level of comfort for such a reasonable price.
2. They come with a removable washable zipper case. Clutch if you have messy boys and like clean beds. It's not water proof though, so if you need protection be sure to get an appropriate mattress pad.
3. The smell some reviews are talking about I don't even remember. I'm not saying they didn't smell at first, I'm just saying it can't have been that bad or I'd remember.
4. All six mattresses went from pancakes to fully inflated in a few hours. It was magical.
5. My boys sleep like a dream every night, and when we leave the house for road trips or vacations they look forward to coming home so they can sleep in their own beds.
6. Quality. No joke, not one of these mattresses sags in two years. No flipping required to keep them comfy. Neither the memory foam on top nor the base foam layer underneath have shown any signs of wear. If I didn't know they had been slept on for the better part of 730 nights, I wouldn't believe it.
Things we don't love about these mattresses:
1. In two years I can honestly say we have experienced zero cons. None. Nada. Zip.
I 100% recommend these matresses. If you're on the fence, give one a shot. On a final note, my husband and I just built a house including built in beds for our 5 girls, and we are DEFINITELY purchasing these mattresses for all of them. We are also bringing the six still pristine condition 2 year old mattresses along for our boys. Just saying.
I was really disappointed with this purchase. In the photo you can see how thin it is and it is extremely soft. You can see I can squeeze it easily just my hand and my fingers can touch. It’s that thin. When I contacted support and got no support, and posted a review, my review got taken down. In summary, the product AND service have failed and deserve less than 1 star.
I am a big guy and have been sleeping on the 5" version for about six months. I use it on a flat platform without extra padding below and happily sleep every night comfortable and warm. Great matress!
I am almost embarrassed to admit this but in the 7+ years of shopping on Amazon & buying an average of 2-4 items per week in the last 4 years, I think I have maybe written one review years ago if any at all. However tonight I had to write one after reading the negative reviews & trying to cancel my order because of them but luckily it was too late.
First of all this mattress is extremely comfortable, supportive and IS a memory foam MATTRESS. My photo was taken 10 minutes after opening & it had already expanded to 5". Why people are writing it only expanded to 2" I don't know, but I highly doubt that is accurate & it's irresponsible of them to write when that seems impossible. The photo of the mattress on the bag shows what it would look like from the inside but it's not supposed to actually look like the photo, LOL.
The "chemical smell" I read about is why I wanted to cancel my order because I am very sensitive to odors etc...this is so minor, to be expected & already dissipated.
What a wonderful deal this was & I am so happy I purchased this for our guest room. Love it!
SUCH a comfortable matress! I've had this for nearly 2 years and it's just as firm as the day it came. I've had countless nights of restful sleep on this wonderful matress. It works great with platform beds. I would definitely recommend this product (I have 3 in different sizes).
We got this for our son when he needed an inexpensive mattress at college. Crazy comfortable and is holding up very well under regular use for more than 2 years. Pleasantly surprised.
Love it! 4 months in and still incredibly happy. I have chronic pain (ehlers danlos syndrome, fibromyalgia and osteo arthritis) and I sleep GREAT on this mattess!
I'm in the bed 22 hrs a day. This was a God send. Amazing topper for my hospital bed.
The mattress expanded fully to 5" after 2 hrs. I think you just have to give it enough air to expand, so what I did was I opened the package and placed it on a flat surface. Opened the windows and doors.
The quality was fantastic. Been having this problem with my back but this mattress help me to have a good night sleep. Even my dad and mom were envious of my mattress. I think I will skip my volunteering for today. I overslept
