Hey, y'all. Elisa here, reviewer at Mattress Clarity today I'm
gonna put three of the most popular budget-friendly Amazon
mattresses head to head. We're taking a look at Lucid,
Tuft and Needle, and Linenspa. Which one is best?
Well, we're about to find out. But remember, you can find some money saving
coupons in the description box below. Let's get started.
Let's start off by going over what these mattress have in common.
First of all, they're all online mattresses. They're all bed in
a box mattresses, and they're all available on Amazon.
Another cool thing about these beds is that they all have a medium firm,
firmness level, and compared to other beds on the market,
they're pretty budget friendly.
Now, for the juicy part, we're going to go over the differences between these
beds. Now, for reference, we are specifically looking at the baseline models
of all of these mattresses. So that's the Lucid ten inch
foam mattress, the tuft and needle foam and
the Linespa eight inch hybrid. Now, the main difference is
that the LinenSpa contains coils and foam, while the
other two are entirely made out of foam. And even though they all have
a similar firmness level, they're going to work for different types
of sleepers. So depending on your body type or sleeping position,
one may feel more comfortable than the other.
Let's see what all of these mattresses are made of. But remember, if you
want to find even more in depth information about their construction, you can
read our individual reviews. mattressclarity.com all
right, starting with the Lucid 10 inch memory foam bed,
this mattress has a thin and breathable cover around the outside.
And for its comfort layer, it has gel infused memory foam.
Gel helps dissipate body heat and keep you cool at night. Underneath that,
there's a transition layer, followed by a thick,
dense support layer. This is what really keeps your spine.
That nice neutral alignment gives you that lumbar support that you need.
And another cool thing is that it's infused with bamboo charcoal.
This helps the mattress stay clean and smelling fresh.
Now, onto the Tuft and Needle mattress. This bed also
has a soft and breathable cover around the outside, but you
have the option to add antimicrobial protection if you
want to. Underneath that, you've got a layer of their proprietary adaptive
foam. This material feels a lot more responsive than others that you'll find,
which also helps you stay cool at night. Plus, it's infused with graphite,
which helps dissipate body heat. Underneath that, you've got a high density
foam layer that will give you that lumbar support you need. This material
is open celled, so again, it allows a lot of room for airflow.
You shouldn't sleep too hot on the Tuft and Needle.
The Linenspa eight inch hybrid mattress has two comfort layers. The first
one is made out of quilted memory foam, and the second one is
a layer of traditional memory foam. For support, you've got coils
that gives the mattress it's a nice bouncy feel, and it makes
it super easy to move around on top of it.
On to two of the most important things that you should consider whenever
you're shopping for a mattress. Yeah, we're talking about firmness and feel.
Now, here at Mattress Clarity, we have a firmness scale that goes from
one to ten, with six and a half being the industry standard for medium
firm. That also just happens to be what all three mattresses
feel like, so they generally offer a great balance of comfort and support.
So it may feel differently depending on your body type. But let's talk about
what they feel like. The Lucid mattress has the most traditional
memory foam feel of the three. You're going to get a lot of body
contouring on this bed. You'll gently sink into the foam
layers. It has more of that quick stand sort of quality to it.
The tuft and needle has a balanced foam feel,
so you'll get a bit of that body contouring from the top, but you're
not going to sink inside. It's still pretty easy to move around on.
It really good choice if you're looking for something kind of in the middle,
but if you want something really springy and bouncy, you should opt
for the Linenspa. Now, this mattress is available in many different heights.
I will say that the eight inch model is better suited for smaller
folks, but if you're a little bit taller, opt for the ten inch.
Let's talk about sleeping positions. The Lucid mattress works
really well for me. Whenever I'm back and side sleeping, that memory
foam cushions joints, and it really gives me that pressure relief that I
need while also providing the lumbar support that's necessary
when I'm sleeping on my stomach. On this mattress, it feels okay,
but heavier people are going to feel their hips bowing out of
alignment quite a bit, which could lead to some pain later on. Tuft and
Needle mattress is a pretty similar story. I feel really good on back and
side sleeping, but stomach sleeping just isn't the best.
Now for the Linenspa, I felt good while I was back sleeping,
but while I was side sleeping, I kind of sank through
those comfort layers a little bit and I felt more of the coils underneath.
So for me, I felt a bit of pressure. I would need a mattress topper
on the eight inch mattress, but if you opted for the ten inch mattress,
you might get a little bit more pressure relief. On this mattress, I felt
pretty supportive and comfortable whenever I'm stomach sleeping, but again, I'm
five foot three, so somebody who's taller than me will probably have a
different experience and may feel some lower back pain.
If you share a bed with a partner, you want to pay close attention to
your mattress motion isolation and edge support.
Motion isolation simply means if you're resting on one side of the bed
and your partner gets in on the other and starts moving around, are you going
to feel that movement come over to your side of the bed? And edge support
is exactly what it sounds like you're sitting on the side. Are you going to
feel secure or are you going to feel like you might roll off? Let's start
with the Lucid mattress. This bed actually has really good motion isolation
because it's entirely made out of foam. This material really absorbs
movement, so you shouldn't notice your partner moving around. When it comes
to edge support, it's not the best. It's not terrible. You're probably not going
to fall off the bed, but you may not want to sleep right on
the side of this mattress. Moving on to the Tuft and needle mattress,
this bed also has really good motion isolation, which is pretty impressive
considering it's pretty responsive. It's edge support is okay,
but not the best. Kind of similar to the Lucids, but just a little bit
better. Now, when it comes down to the Linenspa, I wouldn't say
this is a great mattress for couples. Overall motion isolation,
you're going to feel a lot of your partner's movements because of those coils
underneath, and the edge support leaves the last be desired.
Let's talk about pricing. So all these beds are available on Amazon,
and they come at lower price points than many others out there. Starting with
the Lucid, a Queen will cost you about $342.
This is a very affordable mattress. It's really hard to find
mattresses under $500 oftentimes, so great
choice if you're a little tight on cash. Tuft and needle mattress is
a bit pricier coming in at 995 for a Queen,
but I would say this is more durable than the other two that we're chatting
about, so it's a better investment overall. The Linenspa mattress
is by far the most budget friendly mattress you could probably find
anywhere. A Queen will cost $225 if
you order it from Amazon, but you got to remember, you do kind of
get what you pay for. I wouldn't expect the Linenspa mattress to last
as long as the others, but it could be a really great choice for a
kid's room or a guest bedroom.
We should get the Lucid mattress. This bed works really well for people
who prefer that slow moving, almost quicksand sort of
memory foam feel. It's also a great choice for back and side sleepers,
who should get the tuft and needle. This bed works really well for heavier
people. It's a lot more supportive than the other two, so you should still get
that great balance of comfort and support. It's also a good choice for
hot sleepers. The adaptive foam. The opencelled
memory foam really helps dissipate body heat. And if you
want a more durable mattress, tuft and needle is the way to go. Yes,
it's the most pricey of the three, but in comparison to other beds on the
market, it's still a really good deal.
And finally, who should get the Linenspa mattress?
This bed works really well for fans of that springy feel.
Those coils make it really easy to move around on, so if that's what
you're after, this is a good way to go. It's also really great for people
who are on a tight budget. It's probably the most affordable mattress
you will ever find, but because it is so affordable,
it's not quite as durable, and it may not work well for
heavier people. So for that reason, it's a great choice for kids
and teens and guest rooms. Well, that's about it.
