You'll be amazed by our great prices and unbelievable selection!“People buy shoes online even though you can’t try them on… a mattress is no different, right?” Faced with buying a new mattress two years ago, I uttered these words to Mrs. Frugalwoods and then embarked on a frugal slumber experiment. My goal was to see if my wife and I could buy a mattress online, save tons of money, and still get a great night’s sleep. Let’s start at the beginning. Mrs. Frugalwoods is what we would lovingly call an “active sleeper.” She is a tiny woman with powerful kicking legs. Must be all that yoga. We had a double bed for the first several years of our marriage and I have the scars to prove it! So when we moved back to the Northeast a few years ago, getting a bed large enough to provide Mrs. Frugalwoods with room to roam and myself to sleep without being pummeled was on the top of my list.
And holy mother-of-pillowtop are king sized mattresses expensive! This low-end tempurpedic is $2,400! Our car isn’t worth $2,400! The Mrs. and I saw those prices and were not impressed. It also quickly became apparent that mattresses are extremely profitable and sold in a manner similar to used cars. I do not need a salesperson to assist me, thank you very much. But we really needed a mattress. So we made a list of our snoozing requirements and asked the internet. anyway (gloves for hound teeth brushing, for example) so it was a natural place to start looking. Turns out, they have an entire mattress section. After reading through a bunch of the firm mattress reviews, we settled on the LUCID 8″ Memory Foam Mattress. It checked all the boxes and 2 years ago was only $279 for the king size. Plus, and this is the really crazy part, Prime Shipping! That’s right, Amazon shipped a king sized mattress to our door in a mere 2 days from ordering it, FOR FREE. When it arrived, we warily eyeballed the heavy, awkward, long tube that the mattresses was vacuum packed into.
The box was plastered with warnings to put the box in the room where you want the mattress before opening it and releasing the tightly coiled foam. We carefully put the box in the bedroom and then slit the straining plastic holding back the surging foam mattress. As dramatic as it sounds (and as we had imagined it), in reality the foam just slowly unrolled itself and started gaining the shape of a mattress. Did it smell a little “new car-ish” (for lack of a better term)? Yes, but it wasn’t overwhelming. The box suggested leaving the windows open for a few hours while the foam attained its shape. We opened the box when we got home from work and by the time we were ready to go to bed, the smell was no longer noticeable. So how does a $279 mattress from the internet feel? I actually remember chuckling as I lay down for the first time. We picked the 8″ version specifically because it was the firmest (they also make 10″ and 12″ which are softer) and wow does it deliver.
Firm but comfy and extremely supportive of our backs. Two years later, internet mattress is still firm and supportive! Since this mattress has foam layered in a specific order, you can’t flip it but you can rotate it. We do that every 6 months to try and keep the wear level the same. So far I haven’t noticed any significant settling of the foam. One of the things I was most concerned about was how it would feel during the summer. I’d heard from some people that memory foam can hold the heat next to your body. In practice we haven’t noticed any additional heat. In short, it’s been a great mattress and we expect to get many more years of good sleep on it! Over the past two years, I’ve evangelized buying a mattress from Amazon to coworkers and friends, several of whom have bought the same or similar mattresses. So far no complaints! Take a look at the Amazon mattress section, in particular the Lucid foam mattress, and keep it in mind the next time you’re in the market for a bed.
Have you purchased a mattress online? Ever thought about it? Think it’s the weirdest thing ever? Let me have it! Note: I bought the mattress with my own money. No one paid me to do this review, I just think it’s a pretty awesome way to save money. The links to the mattress are affiliate links, which means if you also score a deal on a great mattress, Amazon will pay the Frugalwoods Family a small percentage of the sale.

I have had it over 2 years and I would never buy anything except beauty rest again.... Not that I'll need to with the warranty! My guests love it! This mattress is used in our guest bedroom. Every time we have guests, which is often, they say how well the slept. Everyone loves this bed! I even had two friends order the same mattress after sleeping in it. It is not overly soft.
It is not hard either. It's a good mix. And two years later, it's still an amazing mattress! The mattress was great when we first got it. We slept like babies. But after several months it got way too soft. I wake up with hip and upper back pain from the lack of support. Like some other reviewers, if you want some support, get the firm. Nothing Plush about it The delivery service was great! But the mattress was not plush. It was actually very firm. I was very disappointed. I expected it to be plush since that's how it was described by the company. That's a lot of money to spend on something that would cost a fortune to ship back. This bed has been ours for a year and 8 months and already has dents throughout the mattress. I'm very disappointed in the quality. We were under the impression by the reviews that this was a good bed for individuals who are plus-sized but spending $***+ doesn't seem worth it if you are having to replace a bed after less than two years. My husband and I's backs hurt and my entire pregnancy was rough because I couldn't get a good night's rest.
I wouldn't recommend this mattress set if you're over 150 pounds. I'm not sure how long it would last if you're a normal weight limit but product info was misleading. Great support for large folks! First, let me tell you what kind of sleeper I am so you can understand my soft rating of the mattress. I have slept on super firm mattresses most of my life. When I wasn't sleeping on a mattress, I would sleep on the floor--yes, I slept on the floor until the birth of my son at age 36! And no, not a bed on the floor, the carpeted floor with a pillow and blanket. Now, 10 years later, I can no longer sleep on the floor--my body aches if I do this for longer than a few days. So, I decided I needed an adult bed, you know, bed frame with headboard, foot boards and side rails. Nice king mattress with box springs. I went to all the local mattress stores, tried mattresses and found a very similar mattress set to this one. I wanted to make sure it would support me because I am 250 lbs and did not want the mattress to sag.
The high coil count 1000+ for the mattress sold me. The delivery was fast and the white glove service was perfect. I have slept on the bed for a month now. It is soft compared to where and what I use to sleep on. However, I do love this mattress set. It reminds me of hotel mattresses--not too hard and not too soft. As a large person, I feel this mattress set supports me very well even when my 9 year old son decides to sleep in my room. This is a standard size split box spring which is a bit too tall for my side rails. I purchased a king fitted sheet to cover the box springs. The bed looks fantastic. Now, every morning, I have no aches, no pains and no complaints. And every night, I fall asleep and stay asleep without tossing and turning unless I am having a hot flash (no mattress can solve this problem!) I guess I did need a grown up bed after all! I would say, take note of this bed's specifications and find a mattress as similar to this as possible to lay on at the local stores.
I truly think you can't go wrong unless you need a very firm bed. Finding a mattress that allows both my husband and I to get a good sleep has been very difficult. We have tried several top quality and expensive brands but this mattress gives us the comfort we have been looking for. This bed is very soft and very comfortable. I researched so many beds and chose this one because of the low price and the large number of coils for support. This bed replaced one that I had for many years (Serta Comfort Series) and I was concerned about support due to my size (250#), but the bed supports me very well. My only complaint is that the boxspring is a full sized one and I didn't have the option to get a low dimensional one which would've been so much better with my headboard. For the price and the quality, it is a great bed and I hope it lasts a long time. I have only had this bed for one month. Wish i had ordered the firm mattress and saved myself a ton of trouble. For starters, this bed feels like you're sinking into a hole that you cannot escape from.
