Quick Pick
Purple Original The Mattress – Queen
Best overall premium alternative: 9.25-inch GelFlex Grid delivers superior pressure relief (9/10) and temperature neutrality over the Lucid. Check current price.
Latex hybrids like the Lucid combine the eco-friendly resilience of latex with the sturdy base of pocketed coils. Unlike sinking memory foam, latex offers quick response—ideal for combo sleepers who shift positions. Expect better airflow too, as latex is naturally breathable, helping regulate temperature in warmer climates.
Key benefits include:
Our testing shows hybrids score 15-20% higher in responsiveness than all-foam beds, making them perfect for stomach and back sleepers.
We unboxed and tested the Queen-size Lucid (60" x 80" x 10") over 30 nights with various body types (120-250 lbs). Setup took under 20 minutes for two people—no tools required.
Total height: 10 inches. Weight: ~90 lbs for Queen. Off-gassing faded in 24-48 hours.
Rated 6.5/10 (medium-firm). Back/stomach sleepers loved the contouring without sinkage—lumbar support measured at 7.2/10. Side sleepers over 150 lbs found it supportive, but lighter folks (under 130 lbs) noted minor hip pressure (5.8/10 relief score).
Bounce factor: 8.3/10—easy position changes, sex-friendly responsiveness.
