An evidence-based 2026 review of Lull's three mattresses (Original, Original Premium, Luxe Hybrid), grounded in third-party test data from NapLab, MattressClarity, and CNET. Best for back and stomach sleepers on a budget; not the strongest pick for side sleepers despite Lull's marketing.
Lull is a budget-friendly bed-in-a-box brand founded in 2015, best known for its 10-inch Original memory foam mattress. The lineup now spans three models - the Original, the firmer 12-inch Original Premium, and the coil-supported Luxe Hybrid - sold direct from lull.com with a 365-night trial and a lifetime limited warranty.
Independent testers consistently rate Lull as a competent, slightly-firm foam bed that punches above its price tag on edge support and value, but trails the category on pressure relief and off-gassing. Below we summarise the third-party evidence (NapLab, MattressClarity, CNET, Sleep Foundation) and lay out who each model genuinely fits - and who should skip it.

NapLab measures the Original at 7.5/10 (slightly firm). MattressClarity rates it 7/10 (medium-firm). Lull's own marketing puts it at 5-6/10 - overstated against the independent measurements. Plan for a firmer-than-medium feel out of the box.
NapLab: 7.0/10. The 1.5" gel memory foam contours decently for back and stomach sleepers but leaves side sleepers' shoulders working against the firmer transition layer. Side sleepers under 130 lb may still find it acceptable; heavier side sleepers will not.
NapLab: 7.2/10. Good for an all-foam bed but not class-leading - Nectar and Layla isolate motion better. The Luxe Hybrid's pocketed coils are isolated well enough that couples typically report no disturbance from a partner shifting.
NapLab: 9.2/10 - the standout score in Lull's profile, and the strongest reason couples or solo sleepers who use the full mattress surface should consider it. The Luxe Hybrid is firmer at the perimeter still, thanks to its pocketed coil unit.
NapLab: 8.0/10. The gel infusion and breathable cover keep surface temperature in check for most sleepers. True hot sleepers should pick the Luxe Hybrid (coils for airflow) or shop a coil-on-coil bed like the Saatva Classic.
NapLab: 6.1/10, with detectable VOCs for ~14 days. Unbox in a ventilated room and wait 48-72 hours before sleeping on it for the most comfortable break-in.
MattressClarity estimates a 5-7-year useful life on the Original - typical for a sub-$1,000 foam bed. The lifetime warranty covers manufacturing defects but not the gradual softening that drives most replacements.
A taller, slightly firmer (NapLab 7/10) all-foam build aimed at back and stomach sleepers. Adds an extra inch of comfort foam plus a denser support core. Overall NapLab score 8.27/10.
Six-layer hybrid with pocketed coils, a tufted stretch-knit cover, and reinforced perimeter coils. The pick for couples, hot sleepers, and anyone who wants more bounce than the foam models deliver.
MSRPs from lull.com. Lull runs near-permanent promotions, so the lower end of each range is the realistic street price.
Lull is a competent budget brand. NapLab gave the Original an 8.15/10 overall - below the category average but strong for the price, with standout edge support (9.2/10). It's a solid pick for back and stomach sleepers under $1,000, but premium sleepers will get more from a Saatva or Helix at 1.5-2× the price.
Not really. Despite Lull's marketing, both NapLab and MattressClarity flag below-average pressure relief at the brand's slightly-firm 7+ feel. Strict side sleepers will be more comfortable on a softer Nectar Classic or a zoned bed like the Helix Midnight.
Independent testers measure the Original at 7-7.5/10 (slightly firm to firm), not the 5-6/10 Lull advertises. The Original Premium is roughly the same firmness in a thicker build, and the Luxe Hybrid feels close to a true medium-firm thanks to its pocketed coils.
Plan on 5-7 years of comfortable use on the Original - typical for a sub-$1,000 all-foam bed. The lifetime warranty covers indentations greater than 1.5 inches and manufacturing defects, but not the gradual softening that drives most replacements.
Yes. NapLab measured a roughly 14-day off-gassing window (6.1/10 score). Unpack the mattress in a ventilated room and let it air for at least 48-72 hours before sleeping on it.
Pick Nectar if you sleep on your side, want a softer feel, or share the bed and prioritise motion isolation. Pick Lull if you want firmer support, sleep on your back or stomach, or value the longest sleep trial in the category.
