Lucid LUCID 4 Inch Folding Sofa and Play Mat - Comfortable and Durable Foam - Washable Cover - Twin XL, Gray

(**NOW, with UPDATES!!! PLEASE READ THE STUFF AT THE BOTTOM.**) I was creating an Asian-style bedroom for myself so I wanted to try an Asian-styled sleeping option too. First I was looking at some of the more "traditional" Japanese floor futons filled with cotton and wool. Almost committed to buying one of those here when this product came up on one of my searches. Now I had seen the foam pad "shikibutons," but, those particular ones didn't look or sound that appealing. When I saw that this foam bed was made of **memory foam** instead of regular foam, that sounded much nicer. The intro price for this (got it for $86.99 + free shipping from Amazon) was pretty competitive with the other floor sleepers. What ultimately sucked me in completely was the fact that this product was covered by Amazon's guarantee. You've got 30 days to see if it...well...doesn't suck. Also the company that makes it offers a 3-year warranty. Most off-the-floor mattresses don't have that. Those factors helped me to make the final decision to buy. Now, here's the experience of a 5-foot 9-inch, 190(ish) pound male-- Comfy Factor: After setting it up and sleeping on it for a few days I can say that it is EXTREMELY comfortable! (I'll throw in a YAY for that just like the 1st reviewer Miyoko.) 4 inches of **memory foam** is more than enough to feel great. The foam used in this feels like quality. It has enough firmness to keep me off the ground while still being soft enough to be cushy. I sleep on all sides but tend to be primarily a side-sleeper. I haven't felt the ground yet. Smells: The smell right out of the box wasn't bad at all. All **memory foam** has at least a slight smell but this was very mild. I let it air out for a couple of hours and then found myself taking a nap on it. Dozed off for two hours. No headaches, dizziness, etc. If you're chemically sensitive you may not want to use synthetic bedding options though, just to be safe. Traditional cotton futons might be a better bet for you. Materials & Construction: Like I said, the foam feels like very good quality. Just like with anything only time will tell how long it remains cushy/firm and repels body impressions. The cover is pretty much the same thing you find covering the cushioning on really good hiking backpacks. It's that breathable polyester mesh which is very tough stuff. Think of it as poly-chainmail protecting your mattress. It helps the foam to breathe and air out. It also seems to be good for NOT picking up lint and crap off the carpet. Nothing seems to stick to it too badly. It's very easy to brush off with your hand. It seems like it's very well constructed. Good and strong stitching of the cover to hold it all together. It does have zippers but it's NOT a removable or washable cover. Other Functions / Convertibility: I think they should have said floor chair instead of "sofa" in the description. I sat in it like in the picture and it is comfy. A bit awkward but comfy. Think of it as a close-to-the-ground-leaning-sideways chair. (I'll upload pics in a bit.) However... if you leave the two large pads folded out and just fold the two smaller pads together it DOES make a very nice floor lounger. That worked great for me. I throw a couple of pillows on it and lean back and it's like reclining on a cloud. Try it!!! Size: It is 39 inches wide and 6 feet and 3 inches long. Weight: Well, the shipping weight said 16 pounds. Opened up it's very lightweight. Maybe 7 pounds. Not sure. Almost anyone could move it around easily I think. Sheets & Covers: Twin sheets fit it perfectly. Don't need deep pocket ones, just regular ones. I bought a microfiber set and it fits like a glove. So far it seems like I made the right choice and I'm very happy with it. I'll give further updates on how well it holds up in the future. Anyone feel free to ask any questions if you need further info. Happy sleeping!!!!! **UPDATE (July 25, 2013): OK, I had to update the folks here on something. The mattress is NOT actually "memory foam." It used to say this in the original listing. It is now listed as "flexible polyurethane foam." I do wish LinenSpa had gotten their advertising facts straight before they started selling. (1 point off for them.) The memory foam tag WAS a selling point for myself and others. To me it's still very comfy though. I've been using it as my primary bed and I still really like it. It feels soft enough by my standards, and I'm NOT overweight. I wouldn't give it up. However, since it's not memory foam (after their correction) I'm very glad I got it for $86.00--hehe. My advice...get it when it's below $100. MAYBE LinenSpa ought to be giving at least partial refunds for the misleading original listing? Extra notes: Bedding is a very personal thing. No one mattress will feel the same to everyone. This one is not by any means hard, but, it is not soft like a fluffy-wuffy bag of goose down either. Also, if you're going to complain about the cover being scratchy and uncomfortable...ummmm...try using some sheets on it. I mean, who sleeps on a mattress (any mattress) without covering it? A cave troll? Just felt like saying that. **February 11, 2014: Yep, I'm still using it and it's holding up great. Still my primary bed. An extra note: I noticed in one of the customer's pictures that their's had a handle. Mine does not. Probably an addition made to later models.

I love this thing! I've only had it forrrrr...... about two weeks. BUT I had it in my cart for almost a year, weighing the options, looking into other beds and mats and even hammocks. The version I got was the queen size- it is in fact, FULL QUEEN SIZE! Super nice, since I was on couch cushions for the longest. It folds up nicely against my wall. Mostly, I use it that way as a cat bed, the foam gives a lot so you kinda sink in. At first, my cat did not like to be near me on it, I think these is a slight -new bed- smell that throws'im off, but I didn't notice anythin'. It fully expanded from the bag in about two days as it said on the bag. (I still slept on it the first night I got it) It's easy to just make your bed, fold it up and blam, cute couch outta the way. I don't really have any negatives right now. That may change! But as is, I'm extremely happy with this purchase. I have a severe case of wanderlust and this will also be serving as a bed on the road when I'm drivin' my van around. :> It's portable, it fits in my tent and you can keep your bed sheets on it folded, so you don't need more space for that! If you're tired of owning giant, stupidly space-taking beds... Grab this!! I got it at about $150 and I am satisfied. I recommend also to get to your local fabric store, grab a few large sheets of faux fur and fleece, stitch the fleece to the furs, BLAM. Snuggly winter blankets. Feel like a viking while you slumber like royalty! WHERE EVER YOU ARE! UPDATE!! December 8, 2016; I woke up today, folded the mattress and found a massive amount of moisture underneath. First instinct, yell at the cat. But I noticed it was me-sized. Which got me questioning my own muscle control. BUT. The sheets on top are bone dry, still dryer fresh! And my own clothes are clean as well. Further investigatin' and online reading brought up condensation. As this is a cooler time of the year, It would make sense.. I suggest finding a yoga mat, or raised slats to put this on in the winter, I guess! More Update!! May 9, 2017; I found out that the moisture build up was because I had been vaping like a monster and filling my small space with said vapor. SO. Still fantastic! I haven't washed the cover of it yet. But will be attempting so tomorrow! Queen sheets fit perfectly! Plus you can fold it up with the sheets still on it! Still my only bed, still springy and comfy. I still recommend it to anyone.

So, I wanted to sleep on the floor. Ultimately I like being on the floor feel it helps with my back aches .... do off to amazon I go. I'm planning on moving so I didn't want anything that would be too difficult to move around, but of good quality ... hmph search.... search... search. I had thought about a Japanese style bed. There were some Japanese inspired beds and I thought gee this is great! Then I purchased a laptop and didn't want to spend my entire time laying down so blahhh futon it is.... right? Searching for foam futon mattresses (ugh the other pillow like ones gets lumpy), and thinking okay id like to sleep on the floor tho :( aaaaaND I come across this! I was excited, I debated, but ultimately it's perfect for my needs and if my teen want's to come to my room (usually on her phone) she can lay with me. It did not take 48 hrs to get to size, maybe only 8. I didn't notice the smell people mention bUT then again we were painting my room .... now to the awesomeness that is this mattress. I got the queen, I'm short 5 ft and I'm over weight (gassssp?!) Folded into futon mode, I leave the back area opened up and flat up against the wall, suuuuuuper comfy. I don't need to open it up as I can sleep on it the way it is. The mesh type cover is comfortable however I suggest a blanket, pet hair, food, etc it's a magent. I like the grey color, I think this is perfect for a kids play room, there were alternatives that were cheaper but all in all I'm very satisfied. It''s not memory foam, but quite similar. A slightly thicker version of a similar mattress or mattress topper would cost much more and again I keep it open as a futon 24/7. Now, if you wanna get creative you can build an ottoman and pUT this on top, loads of diy bed frame projects out there. I took off a star because the smaller beds get a super cool duffle bag. I feel since for the queen size we pay more, we should get a bag too. Please note as per other reviews the bed comes compressed ... that said it won't fit into the duffle bag again. My daughter who's 5'7 also enjoys the futon to the point where she asked me for the same bed but with a metal frame. I've seen reviewers using in their RV I think that's such a smart way to use this! Some use it as an extra bed for guests. Beats an air mat tress for sure, but some people don't like being low to the ground. It's a matter of preference, but over all I'm pretty happy and oh sooooo comfy right now! It's worth it, and I don't usually pay more for better quality but I'm glad this time I did. If you need a bed and space is a problem, truly consider this. It is small, light, compact and of good quality. Easily put it in the closet in the morning. I am keeping it open 24/7 on the floor full of pillows. Noooooooooooo stuff rolling under my bed lol. Wait! It's foam! Don't spill liquid or it will suck it up like a sponge!

First, let me say, I don't write reviews very often even though I read them religiously before making ANY purchase online. Me taking the time out to write this is kind of a big deal to me...hehe That said, I received my mattress within just a few days of ordering it. I ordered it to accommodate a houseguest for a short visit. When I received the mattress, I followed the instructions and took it out of its packaging and let it lay flat and unbothered for over 48 hours. There was no odor that I could detect. The mattress seemed very compressed, but I figured it would expand if I gave it time. Fast forward to 59 hours later, I was disappointed to find that the mattress still had not fully expanded and had some large deep-set dips in each panel of the mattress. I tried beating out the indents. I tried massaging out the indents. I tried flipping the mattress over... the indents seemed to get slightly smaller, but they were still there a week later! Then I got an email asking me if I was satisfied with my purchase and I responded with, 'No... it still has dents and feels like I'm laying on a dead body.' To my pleasant surprise, their exceptional customer service department took immediate action in resolving my issue with the product. I supplied them with the info they needed and they sent a replacement right away! The customer service reps were very attentive, professional and quick with email correspondence. I must have gotten a "lemon" the first time (which happens from time to time no matter what the product is), because the replacement mattress, once unpackaged, expanded almost instantly! Within only a couple of hours, the mattress was fully expanded and shaped. :) Product Quality: Very high quality. The fabric is nice and strong and neutral in color. The stitching and seems are also nicely done and finished with a smooth opening zipper. A little bulky, but hey... what do you want?? it's a freakin' mattress! lol Also, very light... can carry it buy the double handle with just one hand. The foam itself is resilient and takes its shape immediately. I bought the 4" twin size mattress and when I lay on it, it is very comfortable. For some perspective, I'm a 49 year old woman, 5' tall, 125 lbs and fit. If I needed to, I could fold over one of the smaller sections and use it as a "pillow" and still have plenty of length on the mattress for the rest of me...hahaha (bonus to being a shorty!) Pros: High quality mattress. Comfortable. Portable. Converts into a mini sofa for a small child. Cons: It will never be the same compact size as it was before taking it out of the packaging. Must be stored in a nice and dry place. Recommend: Absolutely! This product is and does what it says! Advice: Order this product at least 2-3 weeks before you actually need it so you can let it breathe and expand... and if anything should not work out, then there is always their excellent customer service! Don't wait until the last minute or that's on you... life happens so plan accordingly whenever possible people. Hope this helps in your purchasing decision. Thanks for the read. Cheers!

I was using an egg-crate type of pad on my daughter's floor that I would sleep on when she would fuss in the middle of the night (she is 18 months and we are teething like crazy!). My back couldn't take much more so I set out to find a space saving futon/pad. After reading all of the reviews on various pads, I settled on this one and I couldn't be happier! I LOVE that it folds up into a little chair (she loves it too and climbs all over it when it is in the seat position), and figured it could double as a mini couch when she gets a little bit older. The 4" of padding is lovely and the foam is very sturdy thus far and I have had many nights sleep on it (well, as much sleep as one can get with a fussy toddler). It does come tightly rolled/packaged in a small bag that you will never get the pad back into, but it makes for a nice tote down the road. I did let it air out over a couple nights before needing it and didn't find the fumes offensive. I ended up putting it inside a duvet cover so that I can wash it from time to time. My hubby (he is a bigger guy) has even slept on it and found it to be comfortable. It is not something I would make long term, as I think after awhile you would wear a groove into it, but if you are using it just as backup, this is a great pad for a decent price point.

I actually choose to sleep on this mattress as opposed to my actual twin size bed. I wanted a new mattress for my studio apartment. The ideal one would be a bigger than my twin mattress, but prevent any inconvenience in space. My first thought was a futon, but I was unable to find anything that I liked. In addition, they would be too heavy to haul up to my apartment. After searching online, I found this mattress that could fold up into a couch and it appeared to be what I needed. This mattress is no "couch," and, if you're looking for a strong couch, then this probably isn't what you want, in my opinion. As a couch, it sinks when you sit in it and you will find yourself with any ability to really control your posture in a way you could construe as sitting. If a friend sits in it, then it's hilarious. Their unfamiliarity and lack of expertise with the couch may result in a giggle or chortle. There may be a way to make this more of a "couch," but it really hasn't been a concern for me. Friends still sit in it. When you find the right spot, it's still pretty comfortable. The big highlight is exactly what you think it is. It is a phenomenal mattress. You don't feel the floor beneath you and you can even tweak the folding to give yourself a little elevated head rest while lying down. I didn't experience any back issues that I normally have whenever I sleep on the floor because its really comfortable. I don't even use my old bed anymore. It's only in my room because my new cat made it her dungeon area. She clawed off some fabric under the box spring to create a cat cave that she flees to whenever someone comes over. I just don't have it in me to take it away from her. All in all, its a great mattress that I use daily. It has a lofty price tag, but I think that a mattress is one of those things that should be more of an investment. I'm not in the habit of replacing my purchases after short periods. I'd rather have the comfort and ease of use than the few dollars I would save by buying a cheaper model or mattress. Solid purchase.

We just got this bed for a week and i had reservations before on getting this. My gut feel was right but also suprise on this bed. Good : its comfortable, a great size and you can make it into a twin bed or like a long low sofabed.You have an option to store it, if ur mot using it. Not so good: it really isnt 4 inches, more like 2 1/2 so i had to put a comforter on top to make it a lil more softer. I know it said its firm but i bought 2 memory foam smaller sizes it was 3 inches and that was thicker than this bed ,in another brand but it was really narrow and it didn’t work with my boys cause they move a lot when they sleep. So all in all its not so bad of a bed for my boys(im not a fan of cribs , my boys are very active so we sleep on the floor and was a challenge to get a good mattress)good for a sleep over, my twins me and my husband can all fit and be comfortable, like a slumber party

I’ve had my mattress for almost a week now and it never fully expanded. I have requested a refund but I’ll admit I’m very disappointed in the refund process. This is a king size mattress that is mostly expanded with the exception of the middle portion and the best option for me would be for someone to come pick it up because of its size (king) but if I choose that option, I’m expected to pack the product. I don’t know how to pack a king size mattress and I don’t feel it’s fair to expect a costumer to pay money or go completely out of their way to return a defective product. I have to figure out if this will even fit into my car to drive it to Kohl’s in order to return it now because I don’t have the means to pack it myself so that UPS can come to my home to pick it up. On top of all this, I don’t have a mattress to sleep on. I don’t feel the mattress itself is bad. I feel I either happened to get a defective one or it could’ve had to do with packing but I don’t know. It’s extremely disappointing to wait for a product like a mattress to ship, wait for it to expand, (it doesn’t) then have to go through a difficult process of returning it but I remain mattress-less. I would like to order another one but I don’t know if it’ll have the same problem and I don’t want to go through this again. I will try to contact the company since the mattress has a warranty and explain my situation because I don’t want to receive another mattress from Amazon that has the same issue and I’m not sure if Amazon or the company is at fault in this situation. I will update my review once I have answers. I felt it was important to leave a review because this situation is ridiculous. I’m a mother who works full time during a pandemic and I suffer from lung disease. I’m already expected to risk my health for work and now I’m supposed to figure out how to get a king size mattress to a department store to return it—further risking my health. I’m pointing this out because everyone’s home life situation isn’t the same and I ordered this online to be delivered for a reason. Now I have to find help from friends to do this task which for some people may be easy but it isn’t for parents of small children. Also, parents who work full time and are at risk from Covid 19. This is my first experience with needing to return something large and heavy. I was very surprised by how generic Amazon’s return options are. It should be based on the product and they shouldn’t expect customers to just figure it out when it’s something large and heavy and we’re in the middle of a pandemic. I’ve only ever experienced retuning electronic items in the past (small-medium) and both of those companies sent a box to my home so that I could return it. In the case of the product being defective/unable to be fixed, they set things up to exchange for a new one. One Amazons return app, when I try to exchange it doesn’t give the option to get another mattress—it gives an option to exchange for a completely different products (no mattress related). I was so baffled and needed to share in case there are others out there who have no idea about this. I hope I can get easier exchange options through Lucid. If I can, I will not do the Amazon exchange because it feels impossible for me to do on my own.

Just what my guests need. Easy to fold up and fit sheets on.

We originally intended for this to be an occasional guest bed but it ended up being used for about 6 months straight as a primary bed. It is firm (which I prefer) and is more comfortable than most beds I've slept on. It is still like new. It does take up a lot of closet space when folded but is worth it for the quality. We use it with a folding bed frame so guests don't have to sleep on the floor. I wish it had a removable slip cover but I just tuck a regular fitted sheet around it. Since it's a foam product I do recommend letting it offgas for a week or two before using.

We bought this bed as somewhere to sleep when we had our parents come visit. We slept on it for a week and it was comfortable enough - I wouldn't want to sleep on it much longer than that though since it's a bit firm. The couch folds up cute, we have a blanket that matches our normal couch so it looks really nice, and turns out we use it almost everyday. It's really nice having a quick pull out mattress right in the livingroom! I'm really satisfied with it, the quality seems quite good. I would say though, it is NOT memory foam, but i think it's preferable - it keeps its shape as well as firmness level.

Very nice and comfortable. Only issue I had was getting the foam to expand back to its original size. Even though it had been out in the open for over 3 days it seemed not to want to re-expand; some places where the foam had been folded to fit in the box were still compressed to about an inch thick. So I decided to use the same trick I use on my carpet underlay after moving furniture to a new location - a towel on top of the mattress and gentle quick puffs of steam with a steamer (or iron). The foam re-expanded within minutes. Aside from this slightly bothersome issue, I am very pleased with this mattress.

I purchased the Queen size version of this mattress with the intention of sleeping on it every night (think japanese shikibuton). I was expecting the mattress to be firm based on reviews. Even with those expectations, it is firmer than I expected, which is great! I've already felt improvements to my quality of sleep since my sleep posture has changed due to the mattress. The mattress is easy to keep clean (I just vacuum it regularly), and when it's folded into a couch I use it to read books or watch Netflix. It's also my cat's new favourite lounger. I really like that the queen came with handles on the edges of the mattress, so that when it's folded up you can easily move it. The handles aren't sewn on very strongly though; I heard a stitch or two give way while moving it from one side of the room to the other only a day after purchase. Nothing broken yet, and overall the mattress itself is impressive with or without handles. The mattress also came in a duffle bag. I was shocked it could be folded and then also rolled up into such a small package! I'm not sure I can get it back into the duffle bag by myself, though. I hope I can, since I'll be moving soon and storing it in the bag will save space. As others have stated, the mattress isn't made of memory foam, contrary to the listing's title. I'm so glad it's not memory foam (I personally abhor the stuff)! Other than that error, the product stands up to it's reputation. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase, and definitely recommend it if you're looking for a portable mattress or a minimalist bed.
