4 Inch Memory Foam Mattress Topper, King Size – Cooling Gel Bed Topper – Preassure-Relieving Ultra Plush Feel – Ventilated Breathable Design – CertiPur Certified - Dorm Room Essentials

Well my mom came to me and asked one visit if I could find her a good 4 inch mattress topper for 150.00 or less and since a latex topper was out of the question due to her budget, I immediately thought of Lucid. I don’t actually have a Lucid topper, I have a different brand but when I was searching for my own topper a few years back, I almost went with Lucid because they have a metric ton of reviews and their rating is high and very few of them are negative giving how many purchases there have been. Well let me tell you, I’ve been hearing about this topper every morning for two days. My mom set it up on her bed to let it inflate and expand in the morning and she called me to tell me that half the day later it looked great. She ended up sleeping on it that night and she called raving the next morning to tell me how much she loved it and that she’s never slept better and that she should have ordered one years ago. She said she absolutely I didn’t want to get out of bed and that she couldn’t wait to go back to bed. Well she just called me again this morning, morning too, and you know what she said? “They’re right you really should wait a full 24 hours before sleeping on it. Then she began to tell me how how there is something about this mattress topper. She just can’t explain it, can’t put into words and that night two was even BETTER than night one. “Thank you thank thank you you are the best daughter EVER!!” “You knew exactly what to get me, this is perfect!!” “It”’s so soft and so supportive, it is such a dream!!” Seriously she’s been raving about this topper so much that I absolutely plan on ordering another one for myself lol. Oh let me clarify her mattress situation. She had a mattress that she had put in storage probably 10 years ago. She barely used it. Well she has been using the mattress for a few years and had gotten a topper for a different mattress maybe 5 or 6 years ago. When she moved she brought out the old barely used mattress and was using the topper she had been using but that topper finally broke down and had a dip in it. Her mattress may be fairly unused but it’s old. Kind of like buying a basic smartphone with chintzy features. Sure the device might be brand new but the tech inside is from the electronic Stone Age. That’s her mattress. In the world of mattresses, it’s old tech LOL. This topper and a mattress cover I got to go with, brought that mattress into 2022. She absolutely adores it, so much so that I will be getting one to put on top of my mattress even though I have a 3 inch latex mattress topper. I want to experience “THE DREAM” my mom has been raving about for two days. So not only do I recommend it to you, I recommend it to myself! Just be sure to lay it out and give it a full 24 hours to rise. It will look like a flat lumpy pancake when it first comes out the package, believe me, it fills out to fabulous awesomeness after 24 hours.

This is fine, its not going to work for us as a topper, its actually going under our mattress to boost the height of our bed, we tried it on top, and it was just too soft for us. I bought this using the buy it again button from one we bought for our rv, but its not the exact same, the first one was firmer. I will be cautious about using the buy it again button in future, but otherwise happy.

So comfortable. A slight smell when I opened it but that went away quickly. Laid it out on the bed at like 8am and left it all day and have been sleeping on it for about a month now. We got the 4inch blue king, seriously like sinking into a cloud. My husband and I both fall asleep so fast, stay asleep better and have less aches. Its on top of a very firm hybrid mattress. It not as cooling as I thought but it is cooler than my mattress. Worth the money in my opinion.

Very comfortable but not for people with bad backs. Really throws of anatomical positions increasing stiffness and back pain. Be careful.

Absolutely LOVE this mattress topper! Purchased a new (expensive)mattress less than a year ago and have been having terrible issues waking up throughout the night with shoulder and hip pain (age related). I purchased the king size 4 inch memory foam. I chose to put this under our mattress pad (luckily my mattress pad has extra deep pockets and fits perfectly). I have finally slept throughout the entire night without any pain this past week! A total WIN for me! have just ordered another 4 inch one for our queen size bed for our RV! I can’t recommend this product enough! I had no issues whatsoever opening it up and letting it air out for 7 hours before putting on bed (maybe because it was a nice summer day….it unfolded itself without any assistance from me).

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.

Size & Weight I purchased the 4 inch Lucid topper for my 14 inch King Size mattress. It fits well to all 4 corners. The topper is kind of heavy but not impossible to move. According to the box, it weighs 26.85lbs. It will feel heavier because the object is large and the weight is spread over several square inches. To move it, Grip the topper firmly, but with care and you shouldn't get tears or any other issues. Authenticity First, be sure you are buying an Authentic Product from LUCID. It should come in a box marked with the company's name on it, see the images. Likely, some reviews could be showing a blue topper that looks similar to the Lucid Product but it may be a knock off. I've seen some that are light blue like Lucid's, but it isn't the same. It has a knock off name. According to the box, mine was manufactured in Vietnam and came with a booklet and a free mail/envelope opener. ( Should you buy, yours may be manufactured else where ) Packaging & Expansion. The images you see were taken 1 minute after I opening the vacuum bag. I should have taken an image of it in the bag. It was vacuumed down to about 1 inch of uniform thickness. The topper expanded rapidly after opening and it took about 1 minute to fully expand. Again this is a genuine Lucid product. I see of some reporting it taking days or several hours to expand and even having to place it in a higher temp environment for this to occur. My A/C was set at 72dgs and the room temp was the same. Still, it expanded in 1 minute, which is nearly instant. Smell The topper does have a light smell similar to new carpet but it isnt over powering and honestly, after about an hour or so after opening it, I could no longer detect the smell. Feel I chose the 4 inch because I like that " sink in your bed" feel, which can be great for reducing back and neck pain. The 4 inch is super plush. Because the 4 inch is the thickest and softest, you will sink the most. Some will like this and some won't. Some will mention they don't like crawling out of a hole in the bed...honestly I wouldn't want that either so for the best results, I added a plush pillow top sheet cover to mine. This keeps the soft sink feel but allows you to have no trouble getting out of the bed and I couldnt ask for a better combo. IT MADE MY CHEAP 14inch WALMART MATTRESS FEEL LIKE THE SIMMONS BEAUTY REST HOSPITALITY BEDS IN PREMIUM HOTELS! Both of these are breathable and cool so no night sweats! ( this may vary as no two people are the same ) Also if you sleep with a partner, movement on one side of the bed with this topper won't disturb! Final Recommendations I do not recommend buying this topper for completely worn out matresses, or Stomach sleepers unless you have full size body pillows. But if you sleep on your back or sides and you don't want any back pain and you love the sink in feel, then this is your topper. Also be sure to identify your comfort needs BEFORE you buy.

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!!!

super soft

Diff from others review... Ordered on thur get on Friday by amazon prime.... Find it quite comfortable.....not warm...

We logged a return on the same day we received it. It was way to soft for our bed and actually made our bed feel worse than without the topper.

Wonderfull Product, I was afraid of heat, but it is not like that. . Once you fall into this , you wont feel of getting up !! Nice sleep for sure !! But Suitable for AIRCONDITIONed ROOM. . .Worth for Money. .
