This Lull review covers a mattress brand that fits neatly into the mid-range of the market, taking a non-complicated yet extremely popular approach to comfort and quality in a crowded online mattress marketplace.

Lull Mattress – Who is Lull for?
Lull mattresses are a memory-foam-only construction comprised of three comfort layers, designed to provide suitable support for a range of sleeping positions and situations. The three foam layers promote spinal alignment, while the slight bounciness of the mattress makes it a medium-firmness level, which will suit many sleepers – back, side and combination.
Lull gets top marks for motion isolation so it’s a great option for couples or restless sleepers. Plus the reasonable price point makes it a viable option for students. Lull is a conveniently “one size fits all” type of mattress, providing a very middle-of-the-range sleep experience, but at the same time offering an extremely comfortable mattress that people rave about.
Lull is a solid choice for just about anyone looking for a mattress, apart from those with special requirements, such as plus size or extremely firm or extremely soft support. For most people, Lull mattresses fit the bill.

Lull Mattress Construction
Lull mattresses are foam-only mattresses constructed of three layers of high-quality foam. The foundation layer is 7 inches of polyurethane foam designed to prevent sagging and provide solid base support. Next comes a 1.5-inch foam blend that helps to distribute motion evenly and support the body, preventing any sensation of sinking or dipping, The top layer is 1.5 inches of memory foam infused with gel to help cool the body and diffuse heat away from the mattress. At the same time, the gel memory foam does a great job of supporting and contouring the body while giving relief to pressure points. This is what creates the notable comfort sensation that Lull mattress owners often mention.
The mattress cover is made of polyester and rayon that is flexible and soft, giving an extra dimension of comfort to the top layer.
Lull mattresses are not ‘flippable’, however, the company recommends rotating the mattress every 3 to 6 months if you tend to sleep more on one side of the mattress, or if your partner has a significantly different weight than you. This is good advice as it will reduce overwearing particular areas of the mattress, and make the mattress lasts longer overall.
Lull mattresses are compatible with two types of bed frames offered by Lull – the Lull Wood Frame and Lull Metal Frame. In addition, you can use a Lull mattress on any flat surface, such as a platform bed base, slatted base or adjustable base. You don’t need to invest in a box spring base to comfortably enjoy your Lull mattress. This makes it a versatile purchase, whether for a bedroom, spare room or college dorm.
Lull Trial Period & Guarantee
Lull mattresses come with a standard 100-night trial, during which you can return the mattress for a full refund and free pickup. The 10-year warranty covers manufacturing or physical defects with guaranteed repair or replacement for 10 years after the date of purchase.
Lulls Firmness level
While Lull does not make actual claims about the firmness of the mattress, it definitely falls into the midway firmness level. Lull mattress construction provides good support, with no sinking, and people report they enjoy the comfort of proper spinal alignment that the mattress offers. On the other hand, there is a certain bounciness, or responsiveness, that makes the mattress suitable for sleeping in all positions, and will meet the preferences of many people who don’t want a very firm or very soft mattress sensation.
Is Lull Comfort?
Lull mattresses get good marks for comfort and that is due to a number of factors. Firstly, the gel memory foam top layer helps to promote airflow, which creates a cooler fresher sleep sensation. Also, the middle and bottom foam layers, made of both conventional foam and polyurethane foam, are designed to provide proper support without disturbing the body’s pressure points, which is what tends to happen with latex mattresses. Together, the three layers create a level of comfort and support that is impressive in a foam-only mattress.
The Smell Effect
“Bed in a box” mattresses do tend to have that certain ‘new mattress smell’. Like other brands, the Lull mattress will soon lose that smell when it has had a chance to breathe after opened up from the box. Any new smell you encounter is definitely safe, as Lull mattresses are not produced with harmful chemicals and all foams used in the construction are certified Certi-PUR.
Lull’s Motion Isolation
The Lull company claims that if someone is sleeping more than 6 inches away from you, you won’t feel their movement on a Lull mattress. Due to the triple-layer foam construction, Lull mattresses do have good motion isolation profiles. Certainly, the Lull mattress transfers less motion than a spring mattress. For the price range and construction style, Lull’s motion transfer factor measures up well, making it a good option for couples, people who toss and turn a lot during the night, families who have kids coming in and out of bed during the night, and even people who sometimes have their pet sharing their bed.
The Ordering Process of Lull mattress
The ordering process for Lull is easy and simple, conducted completely online. Once you have placed your order, you will receive your mattress in 1 to 4 business days, making it a fast and customer-friendly ordering and delivery experience.
Delivery & Packaging

Your mattress will arrive in 1 to 4 business days, delivered to your doorstep via FedEx Ground shipping, in a box sized at 21” x 21” x 44”. As with all “bed in a box” deliveries, you will need to unpack the mattress and unfold it, letting it settle over the next day into the right shape. This is also the time when the mattress will begin to breathe and lose its new mattress smell.

Lull is a notable brand for its ability to straddle many of the complexities of mattress construction, comfort, and online purchasing.
