Remember when you were a kid and the biggest purchase you had to worry about was which candy bar you were going to invest your dollar in? That one decision could take you a long time! The same thing happens as adults. We can end up being stuck on deciding between different brands but the purchase price is a tad bit higher!

There are a few big purchase items that are necessities when it comes to furnishing your home. You can’t really live without a fridge, you could possibly make due without a washing machine or dishwasher, and a mattress is probably one of those items you can’t live without.

But man, mattress purchases can be pricey! Where can you find a quality mattress that will last you a long time but isn’t going to drain your savings? It seems like all the “cheap mattresses” are either rock hard or you can literally feel each spring piercing your back. Isn’t there a better option at a better price? I found the solution and I want to share it with you!

An Amazing Mattress at an Even More Amazing Price!

About a year ago hubby and I began to realize that our backs were both hurting every morning when we got out of bed. We tried doing stretching exercises and even yoga before bed. Didn’t help…

Then we went on our amazing budget vacation to Costa Rica and realized that while we were away we no longer had any back pain! That is when we understood that the problem was directly related to our mattress.

Our old guy was a less expensive option we bought at a wholesale store about eight years ago. It was time for a new one. We started doing our research into mail ordered beds that were delivered right to your front door!

That is when we learned about Lucid Mattresses. They had 4 to 4.5 star reviews everywhere we looked. What’s more is that their prices were one of the lowest when compared to their competitors!

We ended up choosing the king 10” latex foam mattress ($460). This particular mattress ranks as one of their more firm mattress options (exactly what we wanted!), but they do have plenty of options ranging across the scale from firm to soft. This makes it really easy to choose a mattress for anyone in your family!

After sleeping on our new mattress for about four weeks and completely falling in love, we found ourselves in the market for a new bed for our daughter.

Our youngest kiddo graduated from crib to big boy bed and got sisters old mattress. So she needed a new one and we knew just where to get one.

For our daughter’s bed we decided on the twin 10” Gel Infused Memory Foam Mattress ($164 on sale). It is SO comfy that any Saturday I can find a spare 30 minutes, I will go sneak into her room for a quick nap on her bed! We also ended up buying the Lucid Waterproof Mattress Protector ($18) just to be safe.

Where to Buy a Lucid Mattress

Lucid’s website has a bunch of information on how to choose a mattress to match exactly what you need. I would however recommend keeping an eye on your chosen mattress on Amazon. That is where you are going to find sales on top of the already amazing prices!

Here are the beds that we have in our house but what’s awesome is that you can get almost any bed type at almost any size!

Twin 10” Gel Infused Memory Foam Mattress ($164 on sale)

King 10” Latex Foam Mattress ($460)

Waterproof Mattress Protector – Twin ($18)

Zoned Memory Foam Pillow ($80 on sale)

Anytime in the future that we need a new mattress, we are 100% going to be choosing Lucid every time!
