Lucid products, on the other hand, are still worth a shot keeping in mind that they offer a diverse choice of mattress options that should accommodate a broad variety of people.

10 and 12 Inch Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Hybrid Mattress
The Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Hybrid mattresses are usually the first ones you would see. Overall, as stated in the review that covers all the models, Lucid beds are great when it comes to affordability.
Even if you can't always afford the more expensive bed, there are still some wonderful options available, including these Lucid Hybrid ones.
PROS
For now, we'll be looking at what customers did like about the Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Hybrid mattress. Let me specify, that both of the Hybrid beds I'm going to talk about have two thickness options available — 10 and 12 inches. Nevertheless, the overall benefits stay the same.
Firm, Less Noise, and Responsive
As you’ve might have guessed, layers are the mastermind behind every key feature. So, I suggest we take a look at what exactly are these layers?
As you would even see in the best mattress overall Saatva, a pocketed coil support layer is present in all Hybrid mattresses. Furthermore, this is one of the most notable elements of a Hybrid mattress.
Also, the individually encased coils look like a pack of ramen noodles, in a way.
Who doesn’t love ramen? I certainly do.
Table: Main features of the Saatva mattress
Alright, that was an unexpected turn. Anyways, the coils are there for many important reasons. Firstly, since they are individually wrapped, the coils move independently and don’t create as much friction. Which results in less noise while moving.
When it came to causing noise while moving on a mattress, it reminded me of my grandparents' house. The guest room, which had a very modern bed, was where I used to sleep. Nevertheless, my grandparents slept on such an old mattress that I could hear every squeak from the other end of the hallway.
My grandparents couldn’t care less about the noise because of how deep they slept. However, I could never sleep on such a mattress since I’m a very sensitive sleeper.
That’s one of the reasons why the pocketed coils are important in this Lucid Hybrid mattress review. Besides noise reduction, the coils play a big role in contouring and supporting your body. A helping hand for the foam layers above, if you could put it that way.
Additionally, the coil layer increases responsiveness and adds a little bit of bounce (the bounce is very minimal). To be clear, responsiveness makes it easier to get in and out of the bed, and also, let’s not forget the “you know what bed business”, responsiveness plays a big role there too. I hope you understand what I was trying to say there.
Moreover, a little bounce reduces sinkage and makes it significantly easier to change sleeping positions at night. You’ll also feel more body support overall.
Not to forget to mention, the coils minimize motion transfer, so, it’s great for couples and those sensitive sleepers out there.
Next up is the Aloe Vera infused memory foam. Yes yes, a fancy name. It’s for a reason, of course. The poly foam is made out of plush which relieves pressure.
Besides, studies show that pressure-relieving support surfaces are used to help prevent ulcer (an open sore on an external or internal surface of the body, caused by a break in the skin or mucous membrane which fails to heal) development.[1] Although this problem is common among older folks, it’s a great idea to prevent it from the early days.
Let me mention once again in this Lucid Hybrid mattress review, that the foam is infused with Aloe Vera which provides freshness, and a great scent overall.
Next goes the top, comfort layer made of memory foam as well. This layer is a bit softer, as usual, providing a bit more pressure relief, sinkage, and body contouring. One thing that makes this mattress different from others is that this layer is infused with bamboo charcoal.
What is that for, you might wonder? This is a one-of-a-kind way to achieve temperature neutrality. However, we'll talk about its effectiveness later on. Also, bamboo charcoal is supposed to have a pleasant, neutral odor.
That’s it with the layers, nevertheless, it’s worth mentioning the mattress cover. The cover is made from knit polyester and should increase breathability. Users’ Lucid Hybrid mattress reviews state that they feel a nice air layer between their body and the mattress.
All in all, Hybrid mattresses tend to have similar layer compositions. Also, layers determine how firm the mattress will be. For this particular one, the firmness is somewhere in the middle.
So, if you like a bit firmer feel, this mattress is the way to go.
Suitable for All Sleeping Positions
Now that we’ve talked about the layers, we can move on to the more interesting stuff. I think you would agree.
Perhaps you are a back sleeper? Stomach sleeper? Side sleeper? As rare as it is, this mattress is suitable for all of these positions more or less. There are also combination sleepers, who change their positions from time to time. Keeping that in mind, governing through the internet, there are customers’ Lucid Hybrid mattress reviews that say that this bed is, in fact, the best for combination sleepers.
I would call myself a combination sleeper as well. In fact, I sleep in all of the three positions throughout the night. As weird as it sounds, I don’t really know which position is the most comfortable for me.
I either feel very comfortable or horrible in all of these positions. There is no in-between. However, it also depends on what mattress I’m sleeping on. For instance, let me brag about the time I slept on Saatva, one of the best mattresses out there overall.
Table: Pressure points of the Saatva mattress
I won’t go into detail, but for me, it was out of the world comfortable. Also, I had no idea at the time that the mattress was Saatva, however, when I started researching this brand, it made so much sense.
I felt as if I was floating. Zero pressure, but firm and supportive. I would think that everything falls perfectly in the middle.
So, it depends on your bed situation. As the sleeper Lucid Hybrid mattress reviews say, it’s reasonably comfortable in all positions. However, let me add that side sleepers may prefer a bed that’s a bit softer.
Furthermore, this bed is great for back and belly sleepers since the coils provide a reasonable amount of support.
Besides, if you aren't sure if you prefer a more firm or soft feel, you could check out the Layla mattress. It's a flippable mattress with one side being quite firm and the other one soft. As you can see, there are really good options out there.
Relieves pressure
Pressure alleviation is one of the features that make this mattress suitable for all sleeping positions. Some mattresses, for example, that aren't designed for side sleepers, can cause pressure points in the shoulder and hip area. Keeping that in mind, if you experience irritating pressure somewhere on your body, falling and staying asleep may become more difficult.
In regards to that, the customer’s Lucid Hybrid mattress reviews say that this bed is relatively good at pressure relief. Besides, pressure relief can have lasting effects in the future, so keep this in mind when choosing a mattress.
The bed provides spine alignment for back sleepers. This is especially important if you experience back pain. However, it is my responsibility to point out that some sleepers claim the mattress is too rough for individuals with hip problems.
Great Edge Support
Great what? I’ve heard once. Edge support, my friend. Yes, it’s important. If you've had a mattress for a long time, you've certainly seen how it sagged, especially around the edges. Well, it’s a result of bad edge support. Or just that your bed is fifty years old. One of the two.
Moreover, edge support makes the surface you sleep on wider. Well, maybe you are a lone wolf, sleeping on a queen mattress that is more than enough for you. Now, are you really going to tell me that you’re not planning on dating in the future? If not, great. But if yes, would you like to offer your significant other a mattress with saggy edges so they could roll off to the ground?
Okay, maybe that was a bit too harsh. But what I’m trying to say here is that edge support is important for couples and their safety while tossing and turning. Also, let's not forget durability, so you won’t need to buy a new bed every few years.
In regards to that, I was pleasantly surprised that the edge support isn't lacking and I just had to include the factor in this Lucid Hybrid mattress review.

CONS
Want to know what sleepers complain about, huh? Well, you’ve come to the right place. It goes without saying that it’s an objective Lucid Hybrid mattress review. That’s why I took a glance at the negative side and came up with a few key points that you should be aware of before purchasing this bed.
I say let’s get to it.
Can Get Too Warm
As sad as it might sound, the sleeper Lucid Hybrid mattress reviews say that their temperature control game is a bit disappointing. I immediately remember the horrors of sleeping hot, getting up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat.
For me, it’s one of the top five most unpleasant feelings.
So, if you tend to sleep hot, this mattress might not be the best for you. But before you get sad, I have an alternative. So thoughtful of me, would you agree?
I know, I might seem like a broken record mentioning Saatva again. But, there isn’t anything that would fit so perfectly, so I just have to. As you’ve already known, Saatva is one of the best mattresses out there. So, it’s no surprise that the mattress has great temperature control. I mean, how can it be the best mattress without this feature?
Table: The main features of the Saatva mattress
The mattress is made out of spring-foam layers, which helps with ventilation. Moreover, the high-quality materials even make the bed feel cool (besides the fact that it looks cool).
While the layers of Saatva are similar to the Lucid Hybrid mattress, Saatva has a relatively better temperature control feature. This might be because Saatva has fewer memory foam layers and focuses more on coils.
Not as Good for Bigger People
Let's talk about heavier weight folks for a bit.
To start off, it's not a guarantee, but a heavier weight (over 250lbs) back sleeper could find this mattress reasonably comfortable. However, side and stomach sleepers will definitely need a firmer mattress.
The ultimate option would be the Saatva HD bed. The bed is very similar to the Saatva initial model, nevertheless, it’s designed to hold over 500lbs on each side! So, if you or your companion are on the heavier side, this mattress is definitely worth trying out!
Table: Featurs of the Saatva HD mattress
Let me add that the mattress is very firm, durable, has great edge support and temperature control. So, all in one package! It’s no surprise considering how good the Saatva initial model is.
Moreover, it goes without saying that if you are afraid that the mattress will be too firm, you can choose the initial Saatva model. I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.
What is the Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Hybrid Mattress Price?
So we’ve come to the point where all it’s left in this particular part of the Lucid Hybrid mattress review, is the price.
As of writing this Lucid Hybrid mattress review, there are five to six size options available. Moreover, let me remind you that there are 10 and 12 inch thickness variations, which means that you can choose the thicker or the slimmer option.
10 Inch Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Hybrid Mattress:
The 10 inch, slimmer option is more suitable for light weight sleepers and those who like a bit more softness.
Furthermore, as you can see, the Lucid Hybrid beds are very affordable compared to other brands out there.
12 Inch Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Hybrid Mattress:
The Lucid 12-inch hybrid mattress is a thicker option for those who need more firmness and like to feel more body support. Also, the 12-inch bed could be better for heavier weight sleepers. Furthermore, the price is approximately $100 bigger. So, not as big of a difference, right?
If you are wondering if the Lucid 12-inch queen hybrid mattress and Lucid 10-inch queen hybrid mattress have different dimensions, let me immediately add that it’s not the case. The only thing that is different is thickness and firmness. The same goes for all sizes, including the Lucid 12-inch king hybrid mattress.
As the company states themselves, the 10-inch mattress is best for side sleepers, while the 12-inch mattress is great for all sleeping positions.
10 and 12 Inch Latex Hybrid Mattress
The second mattress I’m going to talk about in this Lucid Hybrid mattress review is the Latex Hybrid mattress.
While this mattress is relatively similar to the Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Hybrid mattress, it has unique features as well. So, let’s go over them, shall we?
PROS
As for the mattress we talked about earlier, in this part, I'll be covering the pros of the Latex Hybrid mattress and conclude the positive customers Lucid Latex Hybrid mattress reviews.
So, without further ado, let's get to it.
Great for Back and Stomach Sleepers
I believe that you can’t just choose your dominant sleeping position. I might be wrong, however, my partner sleeps on his stomach and for some reason, people tend to say that he should choose a better sleeping position. I immediately think to myself, how?
If sleeping on his stomach is something his body insists on doing, who is he to disobey?
All jokes aside, you might get used to your new sleeping habits if it’s needed, but if it’s not, why not get a bed that’s suits your needs?
Well, if you are, in fact, a back or stomach sleeper, this is your lucky day since this mattress is ideal for these sleeping positions.
Why is that? Let’s take a glance at the layers.
As well as the other Lucid mattress I talked about above, in this Lucid Latex Hybrid review, I’m starting from the individually wrapped coils. However, the difference is that these coils are foam-encased and that helps to control motion transfer. Additionally, this bed also focuses on pressure relief.
Let me mention that only the 12-ich bed has the transition layer which goes above the coils and creates a firmer feeling.
For the 10-inch bed, to increase the temperature neutrality, above the coils is the gel memory foam. Let me add that all of the company’s foams are CertiPUR-US certified. That means that all of their foams are tested for performance and safety.
This particular gel foam helps the air to flow freely and relieves pressure points. Pressure point relief is very important for back and stomach sleepers since it’s common for them to feel pressure on their shoulder, lower back, or hip area. Any kind of pressure can lead to pain in the future. Furthermore, I believe that with this mattress, pressure points aren’t something to worry about.
Alright, how can this be a Lucid Latex Hybrid mattress review, if there isn’t a layer of latex in this mattress? As you’ve might have guessed, above the gel foam is the latex part.
The natural latex layer creates a more bouncy and responsive feel which makes it easier to move around and change positions if you decide to roll from one side to the other, you will face zero obstacles in your journey.
That’s where the layers end. As you can see, simple and understandable.
Great Edge Support
Perhaps you like to roll around in your bed without any fear of falling down? Maybe you are the person that likes to use the full extent of the surface on their bed? Thinking of you, I decided to talk about edge support in this Lucid Hybrid mattress review.
Not only is edge support necessary to avoid falling out of bed, but it also boosts the bed's durability. In regards to that, your Lucid Hybrid mattress, queen, or any size bed shouldn't sag as quickly.
Moreover, this feature is essential if you like hanging out on the edge of your bed. As an example, I tend to watch TV while sitting on the edge of my bed, and, good for me, I never feel like sliding off.
All in all, your bed should be safe and usable throughout the whole extent. That’s why I’m happy to tell you in this Lucid Hybrid mattress review, that this mattress has great edge support.
Relieves Pressure
Let's face it, as the years pass, you appear to become more aware of your health. I recall a time when I didn't think twice about my physical well-being. Nonetheless, we all get through it and begin to experience aches and pains here and there. To manage them as well as we can, we should make sure to have the best sleeping experience.
Furthermore, studies show that we spend about one-third of our life either sleeping or attempting to do so[2].
Keeping this in mind, I’m sure you would agree that sleep has a huge influence on our overall functioning. So, if you constantly feel any type of pain in the mornings, maybe a change is needed?
Well, I’m happy to tell you in the customer’s Lucid Hybrid mattress reviews say that his particular bed is quite good at pressure relief. One thing I’m sure about is that the gel foam and natural latex layers have a lot of influence on that.
Nevertheless, the mattress is capable of distributing body weight evenly. Hence, no pressure point formation. Furthermore, it should alleviate the already existing pressure too.
Pressure relief is one of the features that you would find similarities between the Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Hybrid mattress and the Latex Hybrid.

CONS
We’ve established the benefits and essential features in this Lucid Hybrid mattress review, but to fully understand what you’re getting by purchasing this bed, we need to see what’s lacking.
As you can tell, this bed has a lot of great features, nevertheless, let’s shift our focus to the other side and see what issues do the customer’s Lucid Hybrid mattress reviews talk about.
Lacks Durability
Durability is important when it comes to all of the bigger products you purchase. We all know how time-consuming it is to search for the most suitable bed, read all the reviews, then search for the best deal. Also, waiting for shipping, unboxing, placing the item, and all of that jazz. No one wants to get through that every year, right?
Furthermore, I can only imagine how much money would be wasted if buying a new bed was a common occurrence. That’s why durability is a major factor.
Unfortunately, the user’s Lucid Hybrid mattress reviews would tell you that this bed isn’t as durable. Some report some sagging after a short period of time. While this might be a one-time occurrence, it’s something you should keep in mind.
If you would read the Lucid mattress review that covers all of the main mattress models, you could see a pattern here.
Knowing that Hybrid mattresses tend to be exceptionally durable, this was a surprise to me, to say the least.
A great alternative you should look into is the Layla mattress. Layla is a very affordable bed, made out of a combination of foams and pocketed coils. It’s flippable and provides sleepers with two firmness options, one side being a bit softer than the other.
Table: Main features of the Layla mattress
Furthermore, it’s made from the highest quality materials and appreciated by a lot of sleepers since it’s one of the best mattresses in the market. Also, it’s said that Layla mattresses should last from 7 to 10 years. A reasonable amount of time to be calm about not being obligated to search for a new mattress, if you would ask me.
Weird Odor
Weird odor. That’s what some of the sleeper’s Lucid Hybrid mattresses say. Keeping that in mind, I would dare to say that off-gassing is involved.
The process of your new mattress being unboxed and releasing chemicals and compounds is known as off-gassing. After unpacking, this specific bed does have a somewhat stronger scent. Nonetheless, it is expected to go away after a few days.
Furthermore, if you are very sensitive to smells, I would suggest that you take this into consideration.
Meanwhile, Saatva, one of the best mattresses out there doesn’t off-gas at all. Their foams are all eco-friendly and don’t contain any harmful chemicals.
Also, by the time the foam is put into your mattress, any off-gassing has already occurred at the manufacturing plant. Additionally, all of the materials have been thoroughly tested. So, keeping that in mind, no weird odor is a guarantee.
All in all, if you are looking for something that’s undeniably great, luxurious, and has the best customers reviews, the Saatva mattress is the way to go.
What’s the Lucid Latex Hybrid Price?
Now that we’ve covered all the pros and cons once again in this Lucid Hybrid mattress review, we can move on to prices. Although you may have a fair sense of what to expect when buying this bed, you should always examine whether the product is the best in its price range.
This model also comes in 10-inch and 12-inch sizes to better suit the necessities of the sleeper. The 12-inch bed has an additional layer that acts as additional padding and support.
So, let’s compare the sizes.
10 Inch Latex Hybrid Mattress:
I must say, the Lucid Hybrid mattress's prices are really moderate, and you would be hard-pressed to find a mattress of equivalent quality and affordability in this price range. It’s worth mentioning though that the Lucid 12-inch Latex Hybrid mattress will be a bit more expensive than 10-inch.
So, let’s take a look at that.
12 Inch Latex Hybrid Mattress:
Not as big of a difference when it comes to sleeping comfortably. The 12-inch mattress is firmer and provides more body support, so if it’s something you are looking for, those $100 shouldn’t make as much of a difference.
Let me add that Lucid provides free shipping in the US and a 30-day trial, which means you can return the mattress if it comes to light that it isn’t the most comfortable for you.
Nevertheless, 30 days is a very short amount of time to figure out if the bed is comfortable enough. For that exact reason, other brands like Saatva, Puffy, or Layla provide over 100-night sleep trials. That’s what I call adjusting to the bed.
Table: Shipping information of the Saatva, Puffy, and Layla mattresses
Let me add that you’ll also get a 10-year warranty by purchasing any Lucid bed. That’s an important addition if you would ask me.

Conclusions
We’ve reached the very end of this Lucid Hybrid mattress review and all that’s left is to figure out whether or not the bed is worth buying.
If you would ask me, I would confidently say yes, the Lucid Hybrid bed is worth it, considering how affordable the mattresses are. Nevertheless, only you can know for sure.
There are numerous advantages to both the Lucid Latex Hybrid and the Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Hybrid Mattresses. The mattresses are also fairly equivalent, with pressure relief and excellent edge support on both.
However, it's worth noting that some customer reviews claim that the Bamboo Charcoal and Aloe Vera Hybrid mattresses aren't the best at temperature management and it can get rather warm over the night.
On top of that, the mattresses aren’t known to be very durable. All of that said, there are other brands worth checking out such as Saatva, Layla, or Puffy, that offer the best beds in the market nowadays.
Table: Company info of the Saatva, Layla, and Puffy mattresses
If we would take a deeper look, Saatva is an innerspring mattress, that is made out of eco-friendly materials and suitable for all sleepers out there. Layla, on the other hand, is made out of a combination of foam, memory foam, and pocketed coils. It’s a flippable mattress that offers two firmness options.
Lastly, Puffy is a memory foam mattress that's very breathable and cooling. Furthermore, you can always take a glance at our top mattresses’ overall list, perhaps the mattress of your dreams is there?
All of that said, I hope this Lucid Hybrid mattress review was helpful, and good luck until next time!
