Without further ado, our Lucid Mattress Review:

Company Overview	Lucid
Launched:	2010
Price (Queen):	$350 USD $501 CAD
Made in:	China
Trial length:	30 nights
Warranty:	10 years
Where to buy:	Online

Like a few other bed-in-the-box brands that are sold on Amazon, Lucid has built an online brand focused on wooing the budget shopper. Since their mattresses are all manufactured in China, Lucid can sell their beds at relatively low costs. At these price points, customers are more likely to make their mattress purchase based on price point rather than construction or features. Lucid’s low price is comparable to many other made-in-China foam mattresses like Zinus or Classic Brands.

Delivery, Trial, Returns	Lucid
Shipping cost:	Free shipping
Shipping time:	1-5 days
Sleep trial length:	30 nights
Return ease:	Customer has to return to UPS
Refund:	Yes, full refund
Additional fees:	No

Thanks to modern compression methods and the rising popularity of the bed-in-a-box, mattresses can now be shipped far more efficiently and conveniently than ever before. Customers no longer need to take a day off work to accept a delivery. Boxed beds are now delivered with the same convenience as most Amazon orders. Some bed-in-a-box companies even offer same-day delivery to certain areas.

Lucid uses specialist logistics companies like UPS to deliver the Lucid mattress directly to customers doors throughout Canada. In some cases, the delivery can even be left on a porch or deck while the customer is away from home. Shipping is free for Canadians, and Lucid customers can expect their new mattress to be delivered within 3 to 5 business days.

The Lucid mattress is also Amazon Prime eligible. If a customer is an Amazon Prime member, delivery can be as quick as next day. (However, be advised the expansion time for the Lucid mattress tested in this review is as much as three additional days after unpacking.)

The returns process for a Lucid mattress can be a little complicated. When contacted directly, the Lucid customer service team advised us that returns are as per the standard 30-day return policy on Amazon. However, for Lucid, the customer must bring the mattress to the carrier location handling the return. This means having to drive the box back to UPS.

It is worth noting that Mattress-Reviews.com did not complete the return process, but received this information via the product listings on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca, as well as by speaking to Lucid customer service representative over the phone.

Out of the Box	Lucid
Delivered in a box:	Yes
Box dimensions:	15” x 15” x 61.5”
Box opening:	Requires scissors
Box/mattress fitting:	Tight
Protection layers:	2
Expansion time:	72 hours

Using an Amazon Prime membership, the Lucid mattress was delivered to us a day after purchase. The mattress was well protected by two layers of plastic within the box to keep the mattress in good condition during shipping.

Customers will definitely need scissors or a knife to open the box. To prevent potential harm to the mattress, remember to be extra careful when using sharp objects to open the packaging.

Once opened, the compressed mattress is easy to remove from the box. We recommend a ‘tip-and-pull’ motion to slowly slide the mattress out from its cardboard container. Simply tip the box from a vertical position down onto its side, and then pull the lightweight box away from the bundled mattress. It’s most efficient to do this process in the room where you intend to use the mattress.

The Lucid mattress is protected with two layers of plastic and customers will need to unwrap the first layer of plastic in order to change the mattress from a cylindrical shape into a flat, albeit compressed form. Some helpful advice at this stage is to place the rolled mattress on to the designated bed frame, find the end of the outer layer of plastic, pull it loose, and use the momentum of pulling it with the rolled mattress to remove the outer layer. After completing this process, customers should see a folded and unrolled mattress. From here, simply unfold the mattress – the top cover will be facing up – and place the corners in the correct positions along the frame or foundation.

Next, cut the final layer of plastic and the Lucid mattress will begin decompressing. Remove this final layer of plastic and the mattress should expand to its full height. With the Lucid mattress, full expansion took 72 hours.

The Lucid is a combination foam mattress. By combining different foam types, densities, and firmness levels, Lucid has designed a configuration that offers reasonable comfort, cooling, and support.

The Lucid mattress is available in different height variants, as well as different firmness options. The Lucid mattress we tested in this review is the 10″ Gel Memory Foam Mattress.

Lucid Mattress Layers

The Lucid mattress contains two layers of foam. Like many of the combination foam mattresses on the market today, both layers in the Lucid mattress work together to provide an overall level of comfort and support.

• First layer: 2.5″ ventilated gel memory foam. This upper tier is perforated and designed to provide airflow, bounce, and comfort. 

• Second layer: 7.5″ support foam. This bottom support layer gives the mattress its structure and prevents sleepers from sinking in too far.

Of note: Lucid does not disclose the density of the top gel memory foam layer on their website or on Amazon. Mattresses that use higher-density foams will generally have a longer life expectancy than their lower-density counterparts.

Lucid Mattress Cover

The top cover of the Lucid mattress is a soft-patterned, breathable polyester and Tencel^® blend. Lucid states that this specific version of the mattress has a removable, machine-washable top cover. However, given the presence of fiberglass in some models of this mattress, we recommend not removing the cover to be safe.

NOTE: The mattress we reviewed was purchased in 2017 and did not contain fiberglass. However, some Lucid mattresses manufactured after that date are known to contain fiberglass. If the law label on your mattress lists fiberglass, glass fibers, or a similar material in the mattress’s material list, do not remove the mattress cover.

Consumers are becoming more environmentally conscious when making purchases. Retailers both in and out of the mattress industry have been incorporating more eco-friendly and ethical policies when selling products and choosing suppliers.

GoodMorning.com Inc. carried out a survey in February 2017, discovering that almost 50% of Canadians are willing to spend more money for more environmentally friendly products. Therefore, in every review on Mattress-Reviews.com, we will highlight each mattress company’s green philosophy, as well as how prominent their policies are on their websites.

Feel & Firmness

The Lucid we tested is a firm mattress. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Lucid mattress is rated at a 7.2 / 10 on the firmness scale. It does not have excessive ‘hug,’ and its two-layer foam design ensures there is no excessive sinkage.

Motion Isolation

Motion isolation in foam mattresses is usually very good and one of the main reasons couples make the switch from innerspring to memory foam. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), minimal motion transfer was detected with the Lucid mattress; it is rated at 6.8 / 10 on the motion isolation scale.

Edge Support

Foam mattresses are not known for their edge support; in fact, it is often one of the main topics brought up to mattress retailers from customers considering the move from innerspring mattresses to foam. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Lucid mattress is ranked well above average at 8 / 10 on the edge support scale.

Bounce

Due to the fact that motion isolation for foam mattresses is very high, bounce is usually very low. According to the testing conducted by third-party engineers (commissioned by us), the Lucid mattress ranks at 3.1 / 10 on the bounce scale.

Remember, Mattress-Reviews.com is owned, operated, and paid for by GoodMorning.com Inc. and advertises the Octave, Douglas, Juno, and Logan & Cove brands. The following is strictly our competitive opinion:

---

The Lucid is available at a very low price point. This could be a solid pick for first-time home buyers, students, children, or as a temporary mattress for spare bedrooms. At this low price point, the Chinese-made Lucid does not come with some of the standard perks available with more expensive, Canadian-made beds-in-a-box, like a more generous sleep trial, longer warranty, and free bedding bundle.

In Canada, we recommend that shoppers check out Juno. Juno is a Canadian-made value mattress that offers a longer sleep trial, a medium-firm feel that suits a wide range of sleepers, and priced at just $499 for a Queen.
