Lucid Comfort Collection 3" Lavender Foam Topper. I have not yet purchased a mattress topper but need to..back aches most mornings. The task of searching and reading reviews is mind boggling. Does anyone have this topper and if so, like, don't like...thanks.

It will raise your mattress. Make sure you can comfortably get in and out of bed.

It's $75 on Amazon with free shipping. Many reviews there. I have the Bedstory lavender 3-inch foam topper in a queen size, and I love it. (Available on Amazon) The smell has unfortunately dissipated somewhat, but I knew that would happen from reading the reviews.

@Mom2Dogs What you want to know does the topper get hot? Most memory foam and foam are hot so make sure you find out unless you like hot.

@Katcat1 From what I have read, gel foam is supposed to be cooler.

I would not like the constant smell of lavender.

I have a Lucid 3" topper that I put on 3 months ago, not lavender. I'm about to take it back off. It does help some with pressure points, however, it has more cons.

I'm not a "hot" person but this does create heat. My bed was already high and now it's 3" higher. It's hard for me to get into; I feel I'm sleeping half way up to the ceiling which makes me closer to the ceiling fan. And the big one for me is that after a couple of hours I sink into the gel and I can't turn over easily. I feel like I'm in a hole. It's tiring trying to get out of the hole and into a cool spot. And I also think that it's not enough support for my back because it's too soft.

If you really want one, I would go with a 2" rather than 3". Macy's has them on sale at a good price.

I have the Lucid 3" gel topper too, not the lavender one, and it is very comfy and for me, not hot at all. Got it from AMZ last year during their prime day so only spent about $45 for the full size. the one thing I do is I put a fitted full size sheet on top of it, as a liner kind of, then put my other sheets over top. Helps with my sore bones alot!!!

@Scooby Doo .....We currently have a 3" topper on a bed....it is not a gel type of topper, probably more memory foam, When I sleep on that bed I don't have issues with turning over, heat etc. I wonder if the 'gel' style makes a difference in softness and 'sinking' into the matteress?

I thought a 3" would be more plush, maybe not.....I really dislike buying this type of product.

My experience with a mattress topper. We had one it did not have a cover or straps to hold it in place on the mattress. It was a royal pain in the behind. I could never keep sheets down over the mattress. Daily pulling the sheets back over the bottom or the mattress. No matter the depth of the fitted sheet. It is now used for dogs beds when the pads get flat.

@Lali1 We have a 3" topper on another bed. I have never had an issue with it staying in place. It does have straps on each corner that fit under the mattress, maybe that is the secret.

The one I have came from QVC years ago, it's no longer available or I would just repurchase.

@Mom2Dogs

There's a youtube demonstration you should watch by suburban millennial. Watch how much the guy sinks in while sitting on it. He gives it a high rating.

Be sure to watch the youtube video by mattress clarity.

@Mom2Dogs I've used memory foam toppers for years but have always bought them from Overstock.com. They are the only place that lists the density of the foam which is very important. If it's not dense enough, it is too soft and you do have trouble sinking into it. All foam is not created equal; there are different qualities and the cheap ones are more likely to be unsatisfactory. I must say, in all the years of using them, I've never found them to be "hot". I don't remember having had a gel infused topper.

Got a nice 3 " memory foam topper thinking it would be nice and cradleing for my back. Although it supported and cradeled as expected I woke up with more back pain than without it. took me days to recooperate. I'm back to my regular ol' mattress. Gave the topper way and they love it.
