Review on LUCID 5 Inch Memory Foam Mattress

With all the mixed reviews about smells and size/thickness, I bought this with a lot of doubt and worried I'd really regret it. I don't know if it's that mine is the 2020 model, but this mattress is great! (for my kids)

The photo with the tape measurer was just 4-5 hours after opening it. And as soon as I unpacked it, I jammed my face into it and took a huge whiff to see if it smelled bad. I smelled absolutely nothing (thankfully).

I bought two of these as the mattress for Ikea's Kura lofted beds for my two kids (4 and 7). As you can see, thickness-wise it goes right up to the recommended limit (see the dotted line Ikea cuts into the wood). They fear that a mattress thicker than that will allow the kids roll right over the rail and fall.

At first, I noticed the space between the mattress and the size of the bed, but with sheets and covers it's fine. In fact, you probably need that wiggle room to make it easier to make the bed. It's large enough to read to my kids before they go to sleep. It's also super comfy. I totally disagree with people's critiques on that front.

I belabored this purchase so much that I promised myself to do a full review with photos to save others the same. Don't doubt it! Again, maybe it's the 2020-version issue, so beware of that just in case.
