Lull Mattresses: Reviews, Pricing, and More

Lull is an online bed-in-a-box company that began in 2015. Unlike a traditional latex foam mattress, the Lull mattress uses gel-infused memory foam to relieve pressure points and draw heat away from your body. The company offers a 100-night no-risk trial and offers customers a full refund if they aren’t satisfied with their mattress.

With free shipping, Lull offers a convenient mattress-buying experience at a lower cost than a traditional mattress retailer because they are an online-only brand. They don’t have sales floors or showrooms or the overhead costs associated with those facilities.

Prices for a Lull mattress typically start at $649 for a twin mattress, but a current online “skip the mattress store” promotion gives customers an extra $150 off.

There’s no one-size-fits-all mattress — your preferences vary based on the type of sleeper you are and your body’s needs. Read on to learn more about Lull and its mattress design to see if this bed-in-a-box company is right for you.

Mattress design: What are Lull mattresses made out of?

Lull advertises as a “premium memory foam mattress” that serves every type of sleeper: belly, back, or side. Lull’s three-layer technology includes a 7″ polyurethane foam foundation for durability, a 1.5″ middle layer for movement and bounce, that allows the sleeper to shift without sinking or feeling trapped. The top layer boasts of 1.5″ of gel-infused memory foam that keeps the sleeper from overheating and provides extra support to relieve pressure points.

The Lull bed is also CertiPUR-US®-Certified, so you know it’s made from non-flammable and non-toxic materials that won’t deplete the ozone.

While traditional mattresses can sink over time, a Lull mattress won’t dip or valley. Lull says if someone sleeps 6” or more away from you, the mattress will prevent you from feeling their movements. (Yes, that goes for pets too!)

What do Lull mattresses cost?

Lull prides itself on offering a premium bed-in-a-box experience. Lull makes one type of mattress for any body and every sleeper. Typically, pre-promotional prices begin at $649 for a twin mattress and go up to $1,149 for a King or Cal King Lull mattress.

Here’s pricing information for the Lull Original Mattress:

*Pricing as of 4/29/2020

The company offers 0% APR financing through Affirm, allowing customers to pay for the mattress in six-, 12-, 18-, or 24-month installments.

Lull offers one mattress model

The mattress-maker has put all their focus and energy into creating one premium mattress model. It’s CertiPUR-US®-Certified, so you won’t find formaldehyde, ozone-depleting chemicals, heavy metals, or flame retardants known to cause cancer or genetic defects in a Lull mattress.

Lull’s one-mattress-model, does differ from other bed-in-a-box competitors, like Casper, and Purple, who offer hybrid models that include foam and springs/coils. Those hybrid models offer a bouncier, more traditional mattress experience for people who don’t want to leave the feeling of springs behind. But, those models can be more expensive. For example, a queen Casper Hybrid is $1,036, and a queen Purple Hybrid goes for $1,500.

How comfortable is the Lull mattress?

Like other bed-in-a-box industry competitors, the Lull mattress boasts medium firmness, which is great for anyone with back or neck pain. The three foam layers cradle your body without making you feel stuck in the mattress. The Lull bed aims to provide a universal sleeping experience, so back, stomach, and side sleepers will all rest easy.

While this mattress is designed for any type of sleeper, customer reviews on Lull and Amazon point to a less comfortable sleeping experience for side sleepers. However, people praise the mattress for its lack of movement transfer. They love that they can’t feel the movement of a sleeping partner or the family dog when they sleep at a distance of 6” or more apart. Lull works to strike a balance between movement transfer and memory foam.

Lull does recommend giving yourself time to adjust to their foam mattress. They call it a breaking-in period, and much like a new pair of shoes or jeans, it takes 30 days for someone to adjust to the mattress and for the mattress to adjust to them.

Lull mattress reviews

On the Lull website, Lull customers dole out enthusiastic 4.7 out of 5-star reviews. Seventy-nine percent of reviews are 5-star, with 14% achieving 4-star status. Lull uses Google Customer Reviews, which offers a transparent review process using only actual customer reviews and a review guarantee. Lull says it welcomes negative reviews and promises a full refund if a review isn’t published within thirty days of receipt.

Some reviewers say the bed is too firm for comfort and is not thick enough, leading them to return it within the 100-day trial period. Other reviewers praise the affordable price point and say that after a few weeks of breaking it in, it’s been the most comfortable mattress they’ve slept on.

Mattresses are subjective — what might be comfortable for one sleeper, may not be for another. That’s why it’s important to take companies like Lull up on their trial period, to see if even after the initial break-in time, you can see yourself sleeping on the mattress long-term.

Lull: The pros and cons

The bottom line

With no weight limit, a long-lasting foam base, and a 100-night trial, there’s no reason not to try this premium mattress. Any sleeper can benefit from the plush, comfortable support of this foam mattress. Planet-friendly ingredients are an added feel-good perk.
