LUCIDTopper 2 Inch Ventilated Memory Foam Mattress, Full

The memory topper will be ok if it ever fills out but we have had it laid out flat on our other gueen bed for over 5 days. Still hadn't filled out yet. I wanted the topper cover but wasn't included with topper I guess?

Ok, so this is the very reason why these amazon reviews are so powerful! Just like everyone else I was reading and considering this mattress even if there were cons to this item. But over and over again, review after review states that once you air out and do certain things, it is OK! So thanks to the reviews, I got a super product AND Amazon made money off of me in addition to me not being able to wait to write up this review! HAHA. Meanwhile, the first night that I slept in it... my back pain was gone and I overslept (was late to work!) Crazy!Once you receive the item, you have to find a location that you will be able to air out, for a long period. If you know you are shifting it elsewhere or plan to move around after you open up the package, DON'T even bother. It is really hard to lug around and you do not want to dirty this mattress at all. So it is suggested to find a long-term spot for this big beluga and will go right before you start using it. Unpacking this monster was alright but thinking of returning or packing it back up- GOOD LUCk! This is like impossible to to fit into the box and I did not even try. The box that it came shipped in, is so tiny. Further, there were like box after box after box that it came in! Hahaha So it's like you have to not only save all your boxes but you have to squish it all back into the box, gosh.The chemical smell is true but the quality of the mattress is worth it. You just air out for weeks. Depends on the type of ventilation you have in the area that you plan to air this mattress in. I took longer because I wanted to be extra sure that it was well-aired out. At the same time, because it was exposed, dust tends to stick. So the fix for that is... I used a lint roller.. Taaah daaah! Upon being ready for the placement on top of the mattress, i rolled this baby (used plenty of roller sheets) until the roller was clean!You have to get a deep pocket bedsheet. So I had to prepare ALL that before I used the mattress just so that I am ready. But here's the thing. To preserve your original mattress, try to keep a regular bedsheet on your original bottom mattress. After you place the foam mattress on top, you add a layer of (not fitted) bedsheet as a protection or you can get those mattress protectors (if it comes in deep pockets) so that EVERYTHING Is exposed. Then you use the deep pockets to cover everything from top to bottom. This is also to prevent bedbugs from living in either the foam or your original mattress, too.The reason for these 'protective' inside layers is that this foam material keeps your body really warm, almost to a point of sweating in various cases. (Thank goodness I did my research in advance). So the foam tends to turn brown for those who do not have extra in-between sheets to prevent the browning of the mattress. Therefore, to continue to keep the mattress in good condition, the sheets will be of good help. You will just have to wash the sheets in between from time to time and then of course, the usual top bedsheet layer. During the times you do wash the bedsheets, try to give it some time for the mattress to air out and breathe a little too. For the dust that can possibly get on the surface, just use the lint roller! Yay!I do not think it's recommended to use a damp cloth to wipe down.. but if you do (let's say you had an accidental stain), you must must must dry it out before using it to avoid mold or other bacteria from growing.And after you try to use a damp to dry cloth with water, use those hand sanitizers purell (minimally) to spot your stain and let that dry out too. Just spot it with a cloth, do not pour a dollop onto the mattress directly. This is also to minimize on the bacteria (depending on the type of stain).Oh, it is not recommended to let any kids jump on top of this. There is no bounce anyways but you don't want this mattress to "lose its memory" capabilities either haha. (although that is not proven, you do want to maintain the longevity of this product, right?) Although they say it is foam, it is more like a sponge... who knows how much beating up it can take? But if you spent so much, why even bother trying to find out?In the end, instead of spending a gazillion dollars on a brand NEW mattress, this is a really affordable quick fix to the issue. Yippee!

It took the full 48 hrs to unfold, and needed a little help, but it was fine after that. Used a roller on parts and they came up fine.

Used this for a few years and it held up nicely.

First let me explain why it only got 4 stars.1. It does smell like really strong nail polish2. It was cut in a manner such that it was actually 1 inch short on one side of our mattress. Not a big deal, but we paid a lot of money and we expect to get our money's worth.As Far As Other REviewer's complaints:I read through lots of reviews on lots of similiar products and especially on this product. I can say that the smell on our mattress is not so bad that we didn't sleep on it the first night we had it. I only aired it out for 6 hours on my bed and then we slept on it that night just fine, but it is winter and cold, so that may have something to do with it. I can also say that ours is ventilated, like it claims. It also did fluff out to the full 3 inches. Last but not least, the mattress topper does not make me hot. It's been cold the last few days because of the weather and I have also been cold in bed, piling up the blankets. I kind of wish it insulated heat better, but that's not really what it's made for.Good Stuff I likedMy husband, who only sleeps like 5 hours a night and usually just tosses and turns says that he slept so good he felt like he could have stayed up for days. So this is definitely saying something, becuase he's such a light sleeper that he usually never sleeps well. And he did, stay up for almost half of the next night just because he slept so well the first night and he said again that he slept really well.I can say that for years now I haven't been sleeping well. After I had my kids, I always had to keep tossing and turning becuase my hips would ache and my arms would go numb. So far I have not experienced that problem anymore on this new mattrress topper. I slept so good last night that I woke up refreshed for the first time in a very long time. I didn't feel like I needed that extra 15 minutes anymore, I just woke up and was actually awake, and not really still tired, like I usually am. So I am definitely impressed. It is extremely comfortable. I'm glad we made the purchase and I plan on buying two more for my children's beds as well. This is going to add quite a few more years to mattresses that we previously thought we would be replacing this year, so we saved a ton of money. We're so pleased that we are contemplating never buying another mattress and just continuing to buy these mattress toppers. It's a much cheaper (more comfortable) alternative. So I plan on updating this review in a few weeks, then a few months to let you know how it's holding up. So far so good.Update At 1 Week of Ownership:It's been a week or two now that we've had the topper. This smell was pretty much gone in a few days. It's still as comfortable as ever. I have woken up wide awake since we got it, which is definitely an improvement. I used to wake up tired in the morning and drink lots of coffee all day to survive till bed time again, but now I wake up with energy and it's really nice not to feel sick every morning. My husband still says he sleeps great and I have seen quite an improvement in both of our moods. I will say, that it does slide, and I wish the product came with a protecter sheet thing that attaches to the bed to prevent all the sliding. Also, I am still a little dissapointed that it doesn't quite fit our bed becuase when it does slide, I somehow always end up with the 5 inches of bed instead of topper! But I will still be buying a few more for my kids. A really big plus is my decrease in caffiene consumption :)Update at 1 Month of Onwership:It does take some time to adjust to the mattress topper. So I would say if you seem to not like it within the first week, just hang in there, becuase it you will need to recreate your whole sleeping habits. I used to lay in bed for hours before falling asleep, now I fall asleep within the first 30 minutes. So then I was waking up really early fully rested, yet it was still like 4 am! So I had to start staying up later to get up in the morning at a reasonable hour. Which made me cranky for a while as I am not a night person. Some of the reviews have talked about back problems, or turning over and waking up constantly, I'd say if you experience any uncomfortablness or awkwardness, that you just give it at least a month before making any final decision about it. It still slides around a lot, which is super annoying, but other than that, it continues to be one of the best purchases I have made lately.
