Lucid 3-Inch Memory Foam Topper

3-inch topper in contouring foam

A smart choice that is soft, airy, and responsive.

Pros:

  • Temperature-regulating gel
  • Breathable
  • Super soft
  • Available in different bed sizes
  • Reduces pressure at different body points

Cons:

  • New foam scent needs to be aired

The Lucid 3-Inch Memory Foam Topper is our personal favorite. Three inches thick, the memory foam is patterned in such a way that it gives a different level of support for different areas of your body. The gel-infused memory foam also acts to cool your body as you sleep. This is especially important on memory foam as it can hold heat and make you sweat. We have to say this is our favorite thing to sleep on, but a word of advice: let it air out a full 24 hours before you use it. Memory foam is smelly, and it's not nice to sleep in the smell.
