LUUF Mattress Review

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 from average to above-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.

Most of the LUUF mattress sales take place online through the LUUF website. At this site, the mattress can be purchased directly from the manufacturer and shipped to addresses in the contiguous 48 U.S. states.

Shoppers in a few select locations can also scope out the LUUF in a physical store. Several retail partners in five states — Minnesota, Oklahoma, Colorado, New York, and Virginia — carry the LUUF mattress. Full details on finding the LUUF in person can be found using the company’s store locator.

Standard shipping is included with the online purchase of the LUUF mattress. It is delivered as a bed-in-a-box, meaning that the mattress is compressed down to fit in plastic that is placed inside a cardboard box. That box is delivered to your home, and to install the mattress, you just bring the mattress into your bedroom and remove the packaging. Including order processing and ground shipping, the mattress usually arrives within 10 business days. Because of its weight, it generally takes two people to carry the box and properly set up the mattress.

No White-Glove installation or old mattress removal services are available with the LUUF mattress.

LUUF offers a 365-night sleep trial that comes with a 21-night break-in period during which you must keep the mattress. After 21 nights, you can request a return at any time within a year of having received the mattress. If you ask to make a return, LUUF will pick up the mattress and issue a full refund.

The LUUF mattress comes with a 10-year warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. This non-prorated warranty stipulates that LUUF will replace a mattress that is deemed as defective.
