LUUF Mattress Review

Plush: 4/5, Luxury Firm: 3/5, Firm: 3/5

All three of the LUUF mattress firmness options include memory foam, a material that confers a high degree of motion isolation. Memory foam only compresses where weight is actually applied to it, cutting down on the ripple effect from motion across the bed that can be generated by many coil-based support cores. Motion isolation can be critical for couples, particularly if one of the bed partners is a light sleeper or is constantly tossing and turning.

Customers who want the highest degree of motion isolation should look to the medium soft option. Because it has a more contouring feel and a thicker memory foam layer, it is better able to limit motion transfer. On the flip side, the Firm, which has less conforming, will make it easier to perceive the springiness of the coils, including with regard to motion transfer. As a result, the firm is closer to average in this area while the medium soft is solidly above-average.

Across the three LUUF mattress models, we rate pressure relief as above-average although there are differences between the models. All three versions benefit from the zoned and pocketed innerspring coils that create a feel that better suits the body’s heavier sections. The comfort system of each model also plays a key role in pressure relief. The medium soft has the most conforming because of its softer polyfoam and thicker memory foam layer.

These design elements allow it to deliver more cushioning to pressure points. The medium firm and firm models also have polyfoam and memory foam to provide cushioning, but with a harder feel, these mattresses don’t offer the kind of deep cradling found in the medium soft. Ultimately, the choice of options allows each sleeper to choose what is most likely to offer ideal pressure point relief in their case since some individuals experience sharper impact in areas like the hips or shoulders.

The LUUF beds don’t have a strong tendency to either sleep hot or cool, and consequently, their performance is rated as average for temperature control. The coil-based design keeps heat from building up in the support core, and both the Medium Soft and Medium Firm models use gel-infused foam to try to resist heat buildup. Overall, though, memory foam, even when it is graphene-infused, still has a greater propensity to collect heat than many other mattress materials. That effect will be most noticeable on the Medium Soft mattress because the deeper a person sinks into the bed, the more that cooling airflow around the skin gets blocked. With its softer feel and more pronounced cradling, the Medium Soft may be too warm for people who tend to sleep hot. With less conforming, air moves more easily around the body on the Firm, making it the best performing of these beds with regard to temperature regulation.

Edge support in the LUUF beds ranges from average in the medium soft to above-average in the medium firm and firm. The way that the coils are structured in zones includes a focus on having more sturdy springs around the edge of the bed. This zoned design is used in all of the models but is most evident in the firmer options. In addition, because the medium firm and firm models are built to have less compression in the comfort system, there is less sinking around the perimeter of the bed.

For people who frequently find themselves sitting or sleeping near the edge of the bed, the firm will have the most stable feel. The medium soft won’t necessarily feel unstable, but the heightened compression at the perimeter will be more obvious.

The hybrid design of the LUUF bed makes it easier to move on top of the mattress. The springiness of the support core means that the mattress rebounds more rapidly as you adjust your weight on it. That responsiveness is a check against feeling stuck in place and allows for smoothly changing sleeping positions. That ease of movement is highest on the firm bed and lowest on the medium soft. On the firm, the bounce is more noticeable because there is less sinking into the comfort system, but on the medium soft, it’s possible to experience more sinking into the mattress. The medium firm is a good middle ground option with a bit more contouring but still above-average ease of movement.

As in other categories, the performance of the LUUF beds for sex ranges somewhere around average. On the medium soft, there’s more of a tendency to find that the deep hug of the comfort system blunts the bounce of the coils, resulting in more difficult movements on the bed during sex. On the medium firm and firm options, the responsiveness is more evident, making it simpler to quickly move on the mattress during sex. All three options have enough softness to protect the body and its joints during vigorous sexual activity.

When it comes to off-gassing, all three LUUF beds are considered to have an average rating. All of the models include multiple layers of foam that can give off volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with a light odor. That smell poses no health risk, is comparable to what is found with most hybrids, and normally goes away within a few hours after first setting up the mattress as long as the room is well-ventilated.
