The LuuF Mattress Review

All told: The LuuF mattress is constructed of high quality foam and pocketed coils. It’s available in four firmness levels, and is considered an especially comfortable mattress for combo sleepers and those who get hot at night. The LuuF has middle-of-the-road price points, a standard sleep trial, and 10-year warranty.

Mattress Advisor Score

When we bring a new mattress into our sleep lab, we do a whole lot more than pour wine and roll around on the mattress. We use scientific processes to evaluate 14 key categories, which we’ve narrowed down over 1,200+ hours of testing. The total Mattress Advisor score is a weighted average of all the combined scores. Take a look at how the LuuF performed below. 

⭐Total Score for the LuuF Hybrid Mattress: 8.6/10⭐

Performance Summary

✅ Pros

• Spinal Alignment: Luuf’s supportive coil system evenly distributes your body weight so your upper back and lumbar region stay in a nice, neutral position all night long.
• Responsiveness: Luuf’s buoyant comfort layers keep you from getting stuck in an old body impression that was so five minutes ago. 
• Cooling: The LuuF has a breathable construction that enables plenty of airflow, which keeps you cool and sweat-free.
• Edge Support: Worried about rolling off of your bed mid-dream? Fear not—we felt very supported near the edges of the bed during our edge support tests. 

❌ Cons

• Your LuuF may have a slight off-gassing odor when you first unbox it, which is typical of mattresses with foam layers. The smell is nontoxic and should go away within a few hours.
• LuuF isn’t the best mattress for those with achy joints, since it earned only moderate scores for pressure relief. 

Motion Transfer

We have a lot of fun during our motion transfer tests—mainly because they involve wine. For our first test, we place a tall-stem glass of wine on the top of the mattress and ask a tester to roll around a bit. The wine stayed pretty darn mellow, so we gave the LuuF an 8.5/10 on our wine test.

Next, we swap out the wine for another person. Both of our testers could feel movement when the other person shifted around, so they gave LuuF a combined score of 7/10 for the motion test. When we averaged out these two scores, the Luuf earned a 7.75/10 for motion isolation.

Pressure Relief

We measure pressure relief by asking our testers to hang out on a heat map on the mattress surface. Cooler colors like blue and green indicate areas of low pressure, while warmer tones like red and yellow mean that there is some stress on pressure points in that area.

We saw a fair bit of red near our testers’ shoulders and hips, so we gave the LuuF a 7.25/10 for pressure relief.

Spine Alignment

Spinal alignment basically means that you have good posture while sleeping. We check to see how well a mattress keeps your spine aligned by asking our testers to lie on their sides and then track the curve of their backs. Ideally we want to see a straight line.

Both of our testers had almost perfectly straight spines, which equals less back pain and a whopping score of 9.5/10 for spine alignment.

Firmness Level

We tested the luxury firm LuuF, which has a medium-firm feel, or about 6/10 on the firmness scale. We call this the universal firmness, since it’s soft enough for most side sleepers and supportive enough for back and stomach sleepers.

Sleeping Position Support

The LuuF luxury firm is best for back sleepers and stomach sleepers. Side sleepers will feel more comfortable on the plush option.

Cooling Factors

The LuuF earned an 8/10 for cooling, thanks to graphite infused foams and a construction that prioritizes breathability.

Weight Capacity

The plush, luxury firm, and firm LuuF mattresses will feel the most comfortable for those with average body types. If you have a bigger figure, then the high density foam in the max support LuuF is a better choice.

Foundation Compatibility

Your LuuF is compatible with traditional mattress foundations like new box springs and platform beds. Make sure that queen, king, and cal king sizes have a sturdy center support and at least five to six legs. Slatted beds should not have more than 4” between the slats. If you’re waiting on a new bed frame, you can also put the LuuF on the floor and use it right away.

Unboxing the LuuF Hybrid

Our LuuF mattress was delivered in a 20″ x 20″ x 40″ box. The queen size weighs 120lbs so you’ll definitely want to enlist help from a friend during setup. It took us just around two minutes to set up our LuuF. It inflated instantly, and we noticed only a slight off-gassing odor that went away after a few hours.

Should You Buy It?

With three different firmness options that suit every sleep position, we say go for it! The firmer options are best for back and stomach sleepers, while the plush option gives side sleepers extra pressure relief. 

The LuuF is handcrafted with care, so you can count on superior quality and durability. If you are on a tight budget, a lower cost alternative is the Love & Sleep mattress by Nest Bedding.

Comparing the LuuF

LuuF is an established mattress company, but how does it compare to newcomers? Here’s what we found when we put the LuuF performance scores next to the scores for four other popular mattresses.

• The Layla flippable mattress has a medium soft and medium firm side—all in one bed. The Layla and LuuF scored similarly across the board, but the Layla is slightly more expensive.
• The Casper Hybrid mattress generally outperformed the LuuF, except for spinal alignment. The two mattresses are priced very similarly.
• The Alexander Signature Hybrid mattress by Nest Bedding is a touch more affordable, but LuuF scored better in nearly all categories except responsiveness.
• The Tuft & Needle Hybrid mattress provides better pressure relief than the LuuF, but otherwise the LuuF takes the cake and costs you less. 

Need a mattress for your kiddos? You can also shop the Little Luuf mattress, which is made with CertiPUR-US certified foams, just like the grown-up mattress models.
