Joe Auer: What's up everyone?
My name is Joe.
I'm from Mattress Clarity.
Today, I'm going to be taking a look at the Lucid 10" Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress.
I'm going to be telling you everything you need to know about this mattress -- the pros,
the cons, construction breakdown, who it's a good fit for, who it's not a good fit for.
Basically, by the end of the video, you're going to have a pretty good idea if you're
going to want to get it, so stay tuned.

Just leave a comment below, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.
We have the Lucid 10" Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress.
Lucid is a company that has a lot of different models that are very affordable.
This is one of their more popular models, so I was excited to jump in and give it a
try.
Let's talk about what's inside the Lucid 10" Memory Foam Hybrid Mattress.
Starting with the cover here, nice soft cover.
It's pretty thin, so it's not really going to affect the feel overall too much.
Moving onto the mattress now, we have a memory foam layer on top.
It's infused with bamboo charcoal to make it sleep cooler.
There's also some holes punched in here for extra breathability.
Then we have another memory foam layer, then a transition layer, and then steel coils.
You're going to get lots of support and pressure relief.
You're going to get the pressure relief from the memory foam layers on top here.
See what that looks like.
Pretty soft, it's going to conform pretty well to the curves of your body.
Then you've got very firm coils under there that are going to support pretty heavy weights
as well.
You're going to have great pressure relief and support.
It's going to be more breathable than your average memory foam mattress, so it's a nice
combination feel overall.
Let's talk about firmness and feel.
As far as firmness is concerned, I put this mattress at about a 6.5 out of 10, right about
the middle of the mattresses that I've reviewed.
Medium firmness there.
The reason I feel that way is that you have some pretty soft layers on top.
I can push my hand in relatively easily.
Then it gets pretty firm underneath that very quickly.
When you combine that feeling, it's about a 6.5 but right about average.
As far as the feel is concerned, it is a hybrid mattress, but it's more of a memory foam feel
than a springy, hybrid feel.
I'll show you, there's no real bounce, whatsoever.
This lacrosse ball just dies right there.
This is going to be a quicksandy feel, slower moving, memory foam feel.
It's going to be a bit harder to move around, but it does have pretty good pressure relief.
That's the feel overall.
Now, I'm going to talk through how I feel in different sleeping positions.
Starting on my back, the first thing I notice is that my hips sink in but not too much.
The memory foam conforms really well to the curves of my body.
It supports my lumbar area, but I don't sink in too far because of the coils.
Great match for me there.
Switching onto my side, I feel like there's very good pressure relief for someone like
me.
If you're a light or medium weight sleeper, you're really going to like this mattress
on your side.
If you're heavier, you may press through too far to the comfort layers and feel a little
bit more firmness.
That's something to watch out for.
Switching onto my stomach now, I would say it's a little bit too soft.
My hips sink in a little bit too much.
I would say if you're just a stomach sleeper, I would look for something a little bit firmer.
At Mattress Clarity, we love our pressure map testing.
It shows you exactly how well every mattress relieves pressure.
I get down on the pressure map here.
I lie down on my back, side, and stomach.
You'll see anywhere from blue to no pressure all the way up to red to high pressure.
The only thing to note is if you have a different body type than I do, you might see different
results.
Let's get started.

Marten: Hey, guys.
Marten here to offer a different perspective.
Joe's 5'9", 160.
I'm 6'7", 230.
I'm a larger person.
I want to give my experience with Lucid mattress here.
In terms of firmness, Joe said it was a 6.5 out of 10.
I thought it was closer to a 7 out of 10.
It's because I am a larger person.
I press further into the mattress.
I feel more firmness than Joe did.
In terms of sleeping positions, starting on my back, I feel very, very nice.
My hips sink in the right amount.
Some decent lumbar support as well, so very nice for back sleeping.
Moving to my side, I am feeling some pressure in my shoulders and my hips but not too much.
I will say if you're larger than me -- I'm 230 pounds, again -- if you're bigger than
me, you might feel some more firmness in your shoulders and your hips.
Moving to my stomach, I'm not feeling quite enough support.
I am bowing at the hips.
What does that mean?
If you're a larger back sleeper, definitely a good match.
If you're a larger side sleeper, it might not be soft enough for you.
Larger stomach sleeper, definitely look elsewhere.
Joe: If you sleep with a partner, you're going to want to consider motion transfer.
Basically, if your partner is moving around on that side of the bed, that motion is going
to be isolated or transfer over to you and possibly wake you up at night.
To test this, I have a glass here.
I'm going to create a little disturbance around the glass.
You got memory foam on top here, so you can see that the glass is not really moving that
much.
Great motion isolation here.
I also had Marten on my team jump in and out of bed, create a little disturbance.
I didn't really feel that motion transfer over to me, so I would say this mattress is
a pretty good option for couples.
If you sleep with a partner or you like sleeping towards the edge of the bed, you're going
to want to consider edge support.
Basically, can you sit or sleep towards the edge of the bed without feeling like you're
going to fall off.
I'm on the edge here.
The foam is collapsing quite a bit, so not the best.
I'm going to lie down on my back now.
I'm getting a little bit of that rolling off the bed feeling, so I would say the edge support
is not the best in this case.
I'm going to talk through some of the pros of this mattress or who this mattress may
be a good fit for.
This is a very good value.
It resembles mattresses that should be more expensive.
With the price that it's at, very good value overall.
It's also a good match of comfort and support.
If that's something you're looking for, definitely take a look at this mattress.
It's great for side sleepers who are light or medium weight.
You're going to get very good pressure relief.
Then if you're a back sleeper or really of any weight, it's going to be very supportive
for you.
I'm going to talk through some of the cons of this mattress or who I think this mattress
may not be the best fit for.
Number one, if you're a stomach sleeper, I would look for something a little bit firmer,
a little bit more supportive.
This is also a medium firm mattress.
If you're looking for something that's a little bit firmer than average or something that's
very firm, I would look elsewhere.
If you're a heavier side sleeper, I would say that you're going to press through the
top comfort layers, feel a little bit more firmness.
I would look elsewhere in that case.
If you sleep really hot, I would look for something else.
To wrap up, a lot of people are going to like this mattress.
Light and medium weight side sleepers are really going to like it.
Back sleepers of really any type are really going to like it.
It's also very good value overall.
I would say if you're a stomach sleeper or want something just a little bit firmer or
you're a heavier side sleeper, I would look elsewhere.
A lot of people are going to like this mattress.
That's basically it.
