Lull Mattress Overview
While the Lull mattress isn’t the most recognized mattress on the block, they have a strong online presence and social media. Lull offers a simple, comfortable foam mattress for a reasonable price. We think its simplicity is part of its appeal. If you want a reliable bed without any extra bells and whistles, the Lull mattress should be on your list. Continue reading our Lull review to determine what we thought and who we think it works best for.
Here are the highlights of this Lull Mattress Review:
- The Lull mattress falls right in the middle of our firmness scale.
- All of the foams that they use are CertiPUR-US Certified, which means that the materials have met rigorous standards of minimal off-gassing.
- It’s a solid mattress option for petite to average-sized people. Heavy people might not get the support they need from the Lull bed.
Lull Mattress is one of 150+ beds our Slumber Yard team have tested out, as we strive to review as many beds in the mattress space as we can. What can we say, we’re big bed fans around here and know way more than the average person does about mattresses. So you can rest assured the information below comes from educated and knowledgable bed enthusiasts who want to help match you with your perfect bed.
For those of you who would rather watch than read, here is a quick Lull Mattress video detailing what we like most and least about the mattress.
Lull Mattress Firmness And Feel
How firm is the Lull mattress?
The top two layers are nice and soft. But the thick base support foam is firm. The contouring memory foam will provide the relief and support the average-sized sleeper is looking for. However, heavier people will likely find that they sink pretty far into the mattress, which doesn’t translate to support.
What does the Lull bed feel like?
The Lull bed has somewhat of an interesting feel. It’s constructed with both polyurethane foam (polyfoam) and memory foam and feels like a super comfortable balance between the two (i.e., there’s no overwhelming memory foam feel). In our opinion, the Lull feels like you’re laying on a soft cloud, but then the material begins to contour to your body, and you sink in a bit like the cloud is hugging your body back. We find it somewhat unique and comfortable.
Lull Mattress Construction And Design
As you can see by the picture below, we sliced this mattress up in order to see just how the layers inside stack up. Altogether, Lull Mattress is a 10” thick, 3-layer, all-foam bed.

Lull mattress construction:
- Base layer – 7” foam base layer for support
- Transition layer – a 1.5” transitional layer made up of a proprietary blend of foams, which for this review we’re simply calling neutral-foam, and it limits the stuck-in-the-mud feeling you would otherwise get with the top layer.
- Comfort layer – 1.5” memory foam top layer
- Soft cover – The Lull bed’s cover is made from polyester and rayon. While it’s removable, we don’t recommend it because it’s a pain to put it back on. It’s not machine washable either, which tends to be the case with most online beds. If you spill anything on this mattress while you’re brunching in bed, just spot clean the area with some mild detergent and warm water.
Lull Mattress states that they don’t use harmful chemicals, such as formaldehyde, ozone depleters, heavy metals, and certain flame retardants. Their foams meet a standard of fewer than 0.5 parts per million volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Lull also offers a mattress protector on their site. It’s supposed to be 100% waterproof and spill-resistant. It’s also machine washable, making it hypoallergenic because you can wash away any dust, skin cells, or dust mites. This is a nice addition if you’re a clean freak or have sensitive allergies. If you want a cover, be aware that any mattress protector from Amazon and other retailers should work. You don’t have to get the one from Lull.

Lull Mattress Performance
Pressure relief
The Lull mattress does a pretty good job in terms of pressure relief. This is something typical of memory foam mattresses. The top memory foam and the transitional layer made of proprietary foams give you all the benefits you expect from a memory foam bed. You should expect both pressure relief and support for spinal alignment with the Lull bed.
Temperature regulation
Memory foam is usually known for trapping heat because of how the material contours around your body. However, we found during our Lull bed review that it sleeps temperature neutral. That said, if you sleep excessively hot at night, you may want to look into a bed with some active cooling features, like the Brooklyn Aurora or the other selections on our Best Cooling Mattress for Hot Sleepers list.

Responsiveness
Because of the memory foam, this bed isn’t immediately responsive. You’ll see your handprint for a second or two after pressing into it; this is why the bed feels like it’s kind of hugging you. While the Lull mattress is slower to respond, we didn’t find it made us feel “stuck in the mud” because of the neutral-foam layer right beneath the memory foam. You can easily change your position while sleeping.
Edge support
When you sit on the edge of the bed, the stability and how far it sinks in is what we call edge support. This is a critical factor for couples who need access to the entire bed surface or people who like to sleep towards the edge of the bed.
Like a lot of other foam beds, Lull doesn’t have the best edge support –– the foam layers do collapse around you when you sit on the edge. So if you’re a couple interested in this bed, go a size up or cuddle in the middle. But even with limited edge support, we wouldn’t say it’s a deal-breaker for this mattress.
Motion transfer
As for motion isolation, Lull does a good job here, so you probably won’t feel your partner moving around or getting up during the night, which is important if you’re trying to get restful sleep. Even sensitive sleepers will likely be able to sleep soundly with Lull.
Is it good for couples?
If you co-sleep with a partner, there are a few things you may want to consider when you’re searching for a bed. Edge support and motion transfer are the top two factors.
Lull Company Policies
Lull, like most online mattresses, will give you a few additional perks to customers who decide to purchase from them.
- Free shipping and returns
- 365-night trial
- Lifetime warranty
Like most mattresses in a box, if you for some reason are unhappy with your purchase. All they ask is that you give your mattress at least two weeks before requesting a return and refund because it takes some time for your body to adjust to a new sleep surface.
Lull Mattress Review Verdict
We like Lull bed, but also accept it’s not for everyone. It’s designed for petite and average-sized individuals, not heavy people. When it comes to temperature regulation, there’s nothing really special about Lull. We found that it sleeps more temperature neutral than anything else. The bottom line is that you get this bed if you’re looking for a slightly softer foam mattress, but you aren’t in love with a traditional memory foam feel.
What we like about the Lull mattress:
- It has a feel that sits somewhere in between a standard polyfoam and memory foam. So you get the benefit of memory foam without the whole memory foam feel.
- The Lull mattress is really affordable. It’s one of the most reliable budget beds on the market.
Things to consider:
- The Lull mattress is not best suited for people who weigh over 230 pounds. They will likely want a bed with more support, like a hybrid or traditional innerspring mattress.
- We think the Lull mattress falls right in the middle of our soft/firm scale. That said, petite sleepers will perceive this mattress as firmer. Side sleepers under 150 lbs should keep this in mind as a too firm mattress might result in some pressure points.

How Lull Compares To Other Mattresses
How We Test Mattresses
Lull is a great mattress for people under 230 lbs who want a bed with a medium firmness level and a slight memory foam feel. It’s ideal for combo sleepers or anyone who wants a nice balance between support and pressure relief.
Generally, all-foam mattresses have a life of around 8-10 years. Ultimately how long your bed lasts depends on how you treat it. If you don’t weigh much and take care of it, the mattress will probably last longer.
You should not flip a Lull mattress. The construction of the Lull mattress doesn’t let you flip it –– the comfort layer is on the top and the support layer is on the bottom. Trying to sleep on the bottom of a Lull bed would uncomfortable as it would be very firm. You can rotate the mattress is you’re worried about wear, just don’t flip it over.
Your Lull mattress might have that new mattress smell for a couple of days, but it usually fully disappears after that period. On their website, Lull states that any smells that you may notice with your new bed are entirely normal when purchasing products that contain new foam and that none of their mattresses have harmful chemicals. Just make sure to give your bed time to air out a bit before sleeping on it.
