Lucid Hybrid Mattress Firmness & Feel 

All mattresses are rated on a firmness scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being the softest and 10 being the most firm. The Lucid 12-inch Bamboo Charcoal/Aloe Vera Hybrid Mattress sits at 6.5, which is on the slightly firmer side, making this bed ideal for back sleepers and those with back pain, but maybe not the best mattress for stomach and side sleepers, or those with heavier body types.

Is the Lucid Hybrid Mattress Good For Couples? 

With each coil responding independently, the Lucid Hybrid will limit motion transfer between couples. The best mattresses for couples provide motion isolation so one partner does not disturb the sleep of the other. In addition to motion isolation,  the structure and improved edge support of the Lucid Hybrid will allow couples to maximize the space to sleep on their mattress.

Lucid Hybrid Mattress by Sleeping Positions

Back	Stomach	Side	Combination
✅Coil and memory foam hybrid construction provides back and shoulder support. ❌Heavier individuals might sink too far into this mattress.	✅Stomach sleepers will find that their hips sink into the mattress, potentially throwing off spinal alignment.	✅For lighter individuals, the mattress might be just soft enough to cradle their shoulders and hips. ❌Medium and heavy-sized side sleepers won’t get proper contouring.	✅The motion isolation means couples won’t disturb each other while shifting positions. ❌The medium-firmness might be too soft for most people sleeping on their stomachs.

Back Sleepers: Back sleepers need a mattress that is firm enough to properly support their neck, back, shoulders and hips. The Lucid Hybrid Mattress is one of the best mattresses for back sleepers made specifically for back sleepers due to its hybrid design of memory foam and a pocketed coil base.

Stomach Sleepers: Stomach sleepers have similar sleep needs as back sleepers, with enough support to keep their necks and hips from sinking into the mattress (which causes spinal misalignment). The Lucid Hybrid Mattress may not be the best mattress option for stomach sleepers, especially those with heavier frames.

Side Sleepers: Mattresses for side sleepers need to be on the softer side of the firmness scale in order to contour around their hips and shoulders. The Lucid Hybrid Mattress rates on the slightly firmer side of the firmness scale, but sleepers with lighter frames might find comfort in the layer of memory foam.

Combination Sleepers: Combination sleepers need a bed that suits every position due to their tendency to shift throughout the night. While the Lucid Hybrid Mattress would accommodate you sleeping on your back, there could be issues when sleeping on your stomach, unless you have a lighter body type. However, the Lucid Hybrid Mattress has  excellent motion isolation, so couples who are combination sleepers will not be disturbed by motion transfer throughout the night.

On top of the coil base is a layer of memory foam, infused with Aloe Vera, offering a  fresh sleep experience.

Our Lucid Hybrid Mattress Final Review

For its fairly low price point, it’s hard not to appreciate the Lucid 12-inch Bamboo Charcoal Hybrid Mattress. If you’re a back sleeper who likes the combined support of pocketed coils and memory foam, this may be the best mattress for you. However, if you have a heavier frame or you’re looking for something to accommodate your side or stomach sleeping habits, we feel there are better options out there.
