Lucid 3 Inch Lavender Memory Foam Mattress Topper, Twin XL Size – Essential Oil Infusion – Deep Plush Feel, Pressure-Relieving Bed Topper – Ventilated and Breathable – CertiPur Certified

This has been probably one of the best products I’ve purchased through Amazon! SO comfortable and tames down my aches, pains and muscle stiffness throughout the night for better sleep and way less pain the next morning. It does make it harder to turn in bed, and I do get a little warm from laying on it (not extreme warmth), but the benefits are worth it. Others foams I’ve tried aren’t even close to the comfort I get from this product.

Whoa. This thing blew my mind night #1. I turned once and woke up 8 hours later, refreshed and happy. Idk how long it will last, but its perfect right out of the box. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. No bad gas off smell. Cooling was unknown because it knocked me out, lol. I have the 4" and you sink into it in your core but its not unpleasant.

Seriously, my prayers have been answered. I only wish I would have thought to invest in this mattress topper while I was pregnant. It might have saved me a huge headache (literally). I've never had much luck with mattresses, but I've never really blamed the mattresses - because I suck at sleeping. Apparently, I'm a contortionist in my sleep and do things with my body that would give little Linda Blair a run for her money. I wake up a million times a night with pains in my head, my neck, my back, my hips, my legs, literally everywhere. However, I've had a friend come over to help with my new baby and I happen to have the same mattress in the guest room that I have in my main bedroom. She brought it up to me one day that her hip and lower back were killing her since sleeping on the mattress in the guest room- even though it is a pretty expensive pillow-top brand. She asked me if I could order her some kind of mattress topper from Amazon and she'd reimburse me. At this point, I had been in so much agony myself that I got two - one for the guest bed and one for mine. And if it weren't for the fact that I only have nightmares, I'd insist that I'm dreaming up this amazing experience with this mattress topper. I mean, I really don't even have words for this thing. I'm not pain free - because, well, it's gonna take a lot of time to undo that kind of damage. But I have noticed a dramatic difference. My body feels so soothingly cradled. I'm not tossing and turning constantly trying to get comfortable. It's just pure bliss. This may sound strange, but it feels like a hug. It does. It really does. Like a hug from the Pillsbury Dough Boy. Some Technical Details: 1) It was very easy to set up. 2) There was only a very faint odor that dissipated almost immediately. 3) I was so desperate to use it that I didn't even wait the full 48 hours as suggested but it seemed to be super plump straight out of the box. The density is perfect for me. 4) It fit absolutely perfectly across my king-sized bed 5) It appears to be of durable quality unlike some toppers I have seen or used in the past that easily shred or discolored. Time will be the ultimate test so I can't 100 percent guarantee this but judging from observation this would appear to be the case. I will update as necessary. 6) It does live up to the claim about not retaining heat and keeping the body a cool and comfortable temperature (which is crucial for a person like me because I practically need to live in an igloo). So yes, I'm very impressed thus far and absolutely I would recommend this to anyone and everyone. I've honestly never been this excited to go to sleep. My fiance loves it and he was a bit upset that I got it in the first place because he loved the mattress the way it was, but now he loves THIS more. And even my little doggie who has become a neurotic mess since my baby was born seems to be a tad more comforted and peaceful sleeping next to me now. Just writing about it makes me want to go upstairs and jump in bed. I'm starting to wonder if they put something inside this thing if you know what I'm talking about, because I'm addicted. Just kidding... Maybe.

Omg this mattress topper has completely changed my sleeping quality. If you’re thinking about buying it, I kid you not just buy it. Firstly it expanded as soon as I took it out of the plastic, but I gave it a good 15 to 30 minutes, just to make sure it expanded completely to it’s full size. And this topper literally feel like laying on cloud, it’s so soft and comfy, but without making you feel sunk in. I was a little nervous, but it literally upgraded my mattress 🙌🏾

I purchased the queen sized lavender 3" topper for reference. I bought this item to go on top of our more firm memory foam camper mattress. It is very soft and if it is placed on a hard mattress you may be able to feel the harder mattress below over time, but this topper is still incredible. I also used this on my everyday sleeping mattress and it was a dream! So, I am going to buy another one for my room now. DO NOT force the topper open, let it expand on its own time. If you force it open before it starts to fluff up you may damage the topper, rips in the seams etc.. Mine took about 45 minutes to fluff up before I laid it flat. I put it on my bed and walked away and came back to the room about 45 minutes later and it looked fluffed up. That's when I laid it flat and I let it lay out on my bed all day, that night, and the next day before sleeping on it as well. I used it on my bed for one night before I moved it from inside my house to my camper and put it on the bed, put a mattress protector over it and then put my regular sheets on the bed. I moved it into my camper and put it on my memory foam mattress that is rather firm. This topper isn't very dense so you will pretty much feel the softness immediately when you lay down on it and your body will make an impression. I am 130#'s and my husband is 180#'s, we both slept very well on it during the month we used it out on our adventures. My husband absolutely loves this topper and wants another one for our bedroom. I had a traumatic back injury 10 years ago and I also agree to how comfortable this topper can make your bed. I did feel that after about 8 hours of laying on it during the night (I am a side sleeper) I could feel the mattress below it, but I also think this is because we have an old firm memory foam mattress in our camper. I knew when I purchased it that it wouldn't alleviate that, but I was hoping it would help make it more comfortable and I was right! When I used it in my bedroom I didn't feel the mattress below and I slept in for the first time in years! I'm so happy with my purchase that I am purchasing a second one! PROS: I really like the smell of the topper, it is pretty strong when you first open it, but it goes away within a couple of hours. Now I only smell it if my face is by the topper and it is a very pleasant smell. It helps firmer mattresses become softer and more comfortable. It is a dream on my bedroom mattress that is a hybrid (springs and memory foam on top). It is light weight and I can move it around to different beds if I want by myself. It is exactly the size of my queen mattresses, the same thickness all over, and I didn't have any issues with it moving around and I think this is because I put my mattress protector over it and then my sheets. CONS: The wait for it to be useable is hard because I am an impatient person. It did move around on the bed until I put it under my mattress protector. The smell is pretty strong when you first open the box, but it dissipates in a few hours time. Not sure if this is 100% the toppers fault, but I feel like it makes me sleep hotter during the night and I like to sleep on the cooler side. Overall, I would recommend this to anyone that is looking to add some extra comfort to their mattress whether it is new or used.

UPDATED REVIEW 6-6-22 ***************************** I'm leaving my old review below, as for the 2st 4-5 nights, this gel foam topper was the best. But, since I'd been sleeping on a hard as a rock, large yoga mat for weeks prior to receiving the topper (see review for that) & an uncomfortable air mattress for weeks before that... that's probably the reason this topper felt like sleeping on a cloud. After 2+ wks of sleeping on this, I realized it's too soft to offer any support to spine/joints for me. I know others differ, which is why I left my previous review below. I'm a small girl, so I would guess the heavier you are, the less comfortable this will be in the way of offering good sleeping support for any length of time. To be clear, I don't have a mattress. I have cobbled together roll-up yoga mats, varying pieces (as I'll be moving in 6-mos & wanted to carry them with me in my car, rather than renting a trailer to move a mattress or leave another behind), which turned out to be a pricey mistake... if I just shelled out money for the firmer pillow-top, bed-in-a-box mattress I prefer (Ashley, sold her on Amazon at the best price), I wouldn't have the problem of nightly uncomfortable sleep & in fact, it would have cost far, far less. Lesson learned. In any event, after 3-wks, I wake up sore everyday & my spine feels like how a 90-yr old lady's must feel. I'm a side sleeper, so my hip is so sore, I can barely stand up & when I do manage to shimmy all over to actually get off the too-soft topper, I have severe low back pain, sciatica & walk hunched over, which lasts for an hour & I haven't had any of those since a car accident years ago. That's what's scared me the most... I'm afraid the sciatica/hip/back will worsen (it has worsened since day 1, in fact), so since I'm still in the return window, I am returning this topper tomorrow. It's great as a temporary bed, whether alone on a floor or placed on a bed frame. It's very bulky, but you could roll it up to place in a closet, if you have adequate room, although, you do need to let it puff up for 48-hrs once you unroll it again... given that, it's probably not the best choice as a guest bed, but your guests will sleep like babies for 3-4 nights. Kids could also sleep comfortably on it, especially if they're light weight. Note: Older folks or those with injuries will have a tough time getting off of it alone, cuz you do sink into it after hours of lying or sitting on it & since it's soft, you have no traction underneath as an aide in pushing yourself up. I'm a small girl & I struggle to find my way to the edge every morning. I have to roll around like John Belushi in Animal House doing the worm dance to find the edge, then roll out of bed. I've grown to really hate it & regret buying it. I've downgraded from 5* to 3 out of 5. It is comfortable, just not for very long. It is good quality, just not what I need. PREVIOUS REVIEW, WHEN I'D JUST RECEIVED THE TOPPER ******************************************************************* Best sleep ever. I resisted buying this as I've slept on guest beds with inches of corrugated foam toppers, which were so horrible, after day 2 of one 2-wk visit, I opted to sleep on the floor, much to my host's chagrin. I sunk into it like a victim from a horror film, it was so hot I was covered in sweat & felt liked I'd slept in a sauna, I kept waking up all night long & was so sunken in, getting out of a cartoonish bed of sponge felt like I needed a crane or 2 bodybuilder to assist me... & I'm a small girl. But, if you look at other reviews of mine, I'll briefly say that I needed a makeshift nest as I'm only in this apt in the middle of America for 6-mos & don't want to buy a mattress to leave behind. I travel & move often, so I've had to discard 6 mattresses in 5-yrs & my wallet is sparking curse words at me. My current set up is a full size, 3" thick, roll up, yoga mat, very well made, contents don't shift, but it's hard as a rock & not comfortable enough for side sleepers or for longer than 1-2 nights (see my review). To be fair, it's not meant to be a bed. No worries, I thought if it didn't work for sleeping, I could use it for exercise & I will once I move again. So, after 2 nights of feeling like I was sleeping on a hardwood floor, I then bought a dizzying array of various mattress pads, all claiming to be 4" thick, soft, fluffy as sleeping on a cloud... utter lies! Had to return all of them, even the ones in the $175 range... they all flattened & offered no cushioning. I finally settled on using 2 because I realized that not one of them offers enough cushioning. (To that end, one of the best & cheapest is good ol' Amazon basics.) Still, 2 mattress pads/toppers (feathers & fiber fill) on top of a hard as a rock mat, is not quite enough. Bought this gel foam topper after searching for wks. It was the best decision. It offers great cushioning, but I don't sink down to ridiculous proportions. A tip... let it lie unused for 48-hrs as the directions suggest. I was anxious to use it more quickly, but when I would lie down on it, I'd sink right in... it needs to puff up, firm up & settle & it does. I can't rave enough about it. Since I've been sleeping on it, I don't move around as much, I fall asleep right away, sleep soundly & don't wake up with all over body pain. Haven't had that in a long time. It's a wonderful product & worth every penny of the $100 I didn't want to spend... it was well worth it. 5* out of 5. A great product!!!

The topper looks just like the picture shown. Our bed is years old. The mattress is still in decent condition. It's one the flips over and has a pillow top on both sides. We've always been good about flipping and rotating it. But, time wears on. I have neuropathy and I was noticing that my hands and arms were falling asleep or tingling every morning. I have had to wear braces. Plus my lower back would take a while of creaking to warm up and not be sore. I have one hip that had started to hurt. I'm not getting into the husband's side. We are both healthy and keep in pretty good shape so I just knew some of this was the mattress. Was I ready to spend another $1K or more on a mattress....ummmm....nope! I had slept on a friend's bed who had gotten a memory foam mattress and liked it. Then I started researching the toppers. I have been looking into a topper for months. Figured I would give it a shot. Hopefully sleep better and save a little money. Thank you Prime Day! haha After reading about everything I could and then reading reviews, comparing prices etc, I decided on this. Hallelujah!! I picked this one because it had good reviews on temperature. I run hot so I needed something that wouldn't make me sweat. I liked the bamboo and charcoal features. This came perfectly packaged. Easy to open (provided a razor tool for the plastic) and lay out. There was absolutely NO SMELL. I was worried. I put my face right into it. Nothing. I have a small house so there was no way I was able to stick a king sized topper somewhere for 48 hours, so this only sat for about 14 hours. It did start to expand immediately after being laid out. I already had a pillow mattress cover w/ deep pockets and it fits right over it. I have slept on this for 2 nights so I might be pulling the trigger early on a review, but I will definitely update this if necessary. Night one: I could definitely tell a difference. It was very comfortable. I was worried about too soft or too firm, but like goldilocks, it was just right. It is soft enough that you sink into it, but firm enough that you are not in a hole (if that makes sense). I was not hot at all. Summer is definitely a time to test that out. Night two: I think I liked it even better last night. Just a huge difference. Even lying on it to read. I was comfortable with no aches. Huge difference in the morning. I haven't worn my arm braces and my arms and hands have not had any pins and needles or numbness. My hip has not bothered me and my lower back doesn't feel like I have to oil it up before exercising or just breathing. At this point, I would definitely recommend this topper. I know there are so many out there. My suggestion is don't rush it. Read reviews on and off of Amazon. Going through though, add this one to your list of a possibility. I will add too that I was thinking I would need a 4 inch, but I did read somewhere that someone stated that it feels like you sink further down with a 4inch so I got the 3 and it's perfect for my needs. Sorry so long, but I invested a lot of time into this. haha

This is the second memory foam topper i got and I am writing a review in case it helps someone. Because buying big bulky things and returning them is a pain in the butt so maybe this can help you in your buying decision. I am hunting for a topper a very hard, awful futon mattress that was advertised as 8" but was actually 3". I should have returned it right away but didnt' want to deal with return hassle (I learned my lesson now and regret that decision so much). I plan to chuck the whole futon in a year or two so I don't want to buy a new matress and am just looking for a topper to make it comfortable. A few weeks ago I got the linenspa 2" topper, and people wrote in reviews it was like sleeping on a cloud. I got it and was like what cloud? A concrete cloud? it was hard. Old me would have just suffered in silence, worried about the return process, but new me is like stop keeping things you don't love. And sleep is important. Returned that one, got this one in 4". I am 210 pounds now and 5'8 (gained weight post-Covid), an average looking albeit slightly tall woman, a size 14 hourglass (not apple) shape. My heaviest parts, like most people I guess are my hips/waist area. I am a side sleeper who cannot sleep on her back no matter what. THis grew to 4" with an hour, but I let it air out for over a day. i had chatted with lucid and they said waiting 2 days wasn't necessary. Cool! I put it on my bed (*good tip, btw, is I only put the fitted sheet over the topper, not the topper + mattress. so easy to make the bed) and tried to sleep in that night. The following happened each and every night I tried to sleep on it (i tested it for 3 nights): Sleeping on my side, my hips sunk down dramatically. Not all the way down to the mattress below it, but down significantly (I'd guess 2"?). Your body is absolutely not evenly supported (may be different if youre a back sleeper). Imagine your body jut being misaligned all night bc only your hips are sinking into a pit, but the rest of you is not sinking in. When I turned on my back I didnt seem to sink much at all but i just cannot sleep on my back. I feel like my muscles were fighting all night to just keep my body somewhat aligned and woke up feeling mildly like my muscles had been working all night, and not in a good way. I was not rested at all. Your spine, neck etc are supposed to be aligned when you sleep. With this topper, that is absolutely impossible at least for my body (and later, my husband's too, you'll see.) this happened each night (I did give it a few nights' test to give it a chance to see if anythng would change, before I unequivocally decided I need to get this out of the house.) I also woke up each night sweating. Hot. And When I wanted to get out of the bed to go to the bathroom, I had to like catapult myself out because I had sunken in. And if i wanted to flip from my left to right side, again, had to catapult. The absolute worst part is, I have felt completely dizzy (i put dizzy and dizziness in the headline so if anyone searches those words in reviews, like i did last night, it would show up) with my head spinning and like an electric shooting sensation in my right leg (edit/update: when i wrote the reivew, i hadnt returned it yet. i returned this i think over a week ago and still am having massive problems with my right leg which only started when i used this foam. i am now convinced i have a pinched nerve from this topper and am going to see a neurologist. the diziness ended the morning after we boxed this up to return it, but my leg issue persists- it's now weak, there's an electric shooting sensation, knee slightly bucking etc. ive never had a pinched nerve before but i looked it up and the symptoms match up) i have been dizzy only since I started using this to the point where I could not fuction rightly during the day. Felt crazy lightheighted and unable to focus, to the point where I was searching like mad last night "dizziness and memory foam" - turns out other people have reported this issue with memory foam in general. Look it up. Some people may not be as sensitive. I'm not a "everything must be natural" type but maybe i'll become one after this experience. (update: we packed it up for return after 3 days of using it and feeling dizzy - the morning after boxing it up, the dizziness was gone and has not returned.) My husband crawled into bed with me for a few minutes and we weigh about the same, so when our bodies were both sunken in at the same time, it wasnt as bad as when I was alone in it, with the matress sunken in all around me like i was in a sandpit. But i often sleep alone bc I snore :-) Last night he slept it in alone to test, and he didnt sleep all night. He sunk in too much and just couldnt sleep. He is about 5'11 205 pounds. That was good to know. I was going to return it anyway, whether he liked it or not, bc apparently my body can't handle memory foam at all, I cant let my body be dizzy and have weird neurological symptoms. But he woke up this morning and said "i dont like it. I couldn't sleep all night." I said why? He said he was sinking. But he was delirious from no sleep and went into the other zinus comofrtable bed to pass out, so I didn't get more info out of him. So I am done with memory foam for life and am going to line the top of my mattress with many, many blankets, if that doesn't work, I will try latex or wool. (edit: i tried topping my crappy mattress with many blankets and that didn't work. too hard and painful. next im going to try sheepskin and if that fails, latex.) Maybe you will have a different experience, if you're a back sleeper etc. I have read this memory foam is not high density so it's not supportive. Ive read some people love that sunken in feeling but I would caution, if only certain body parts or sinking in, it is really not good to spend 1/3 of your life in a misaligned position. I watch youtube videos for side sleepers and physical therapists and docs talk about the importance aligning our neck, shoulders, hips, and knees while youre laying down, the point of strategic pillow placement to make sure everything is aligned. This memory foam is not only not conducive to that, but actively hurts my alignment. Lastly, the return issue. I havent hit the return button yet but no mater how difficult it is to return, if you dont like something, you dont need to chuck it or live with it, aslong as you are in the return window. My husband and I will smoosh i down and roll it up and if it doesnt fit, will buy a bigger box and amazon can refund us for the box, but i bet it will fit in the original box. (update, it did. return process was great!!) Sleep is way to important to just "suck it up" - and it seems as though it is common for people to hav to try a few different toppers to find the one that is right for them (do you want 2,3,or 4"? latex? memory foam? wool? featherbed? soft, medium or hard?). It would be best to get a mattress that doesnt need a topper in the first place (I still love my zinus 10" we have in the other room!) but if youre like me with a weird matress situation I understad your plight. I hope this review helps someone. i know it's a hassle for both buyer and seller to mail and return these big bulky things so im trying to help people make decisions.
