Are Lull Mattresses Good for Back Pain?

Derek Hales

Published

Yes. Two of the four Lull mattresses are considered good for back pain, with overall scores that are slightly above average. The exceptions are the Lull Original models, which scored lower than average in our pressure relief tests.

On average, Lull mattresses have good pressure relief scores, based on our tests. Specifically, the Lull Luxe Hybrid and Lull Luxe Premium Hybrid have an overall score that is better than average, as well as 9/10 and 10/10 pressure relief scores.

While these mattresses certainly struggle in some areas, like high motion transfer and strong off-gassing, Lull has good to outstanding levels of pressure relief, with the exception of the Lull Original.

As shown below, the Original Premium, Luxe Hybrid, and Luxe Premium Hybrid all have at least 4.0″ of comfort material as well as transition foam that eases bodies into the support layer below. This is a tried-and-true design that works well for back pain.
