The LulaaBed is a 12-inch flippable all-foam mattress that gives you a soft side and a firm side in one bed. It suits hot sleepers, couples who disagree on firmness, and guest rooms.
LulaaBed 12" Flippable Gel Memory Foam
7.4/10
- Two firmness options in one mattress, flippable without buying a second bed
- Gel-infused memory foam plus an air channel base for breathability
- Zip-off, machine-washable cover
- CertiPUR-US certified foam, made in the USA
- Works with adjustable bases
- All-foam construction gives weaker edge support than hybrids
- No dedicated lumbar zone support
- Some off-gassing in the first week after unboxing
- Sam's Club availability only, no standard retail
In our assessment, the LulaaBed earns its place as a mid-range value pick. The flippable design is genuinely useful if your firmness preference shifts, or if you share a bed with someone who prefers a different feel. It is not the pick for dedicated back pain support, but as an adaptable everyday mattress, it delivers for the price.
LulaaBed review: who it is actually for
The LulaaBed 12-inch flippable gel memory foam mattress is sold through Sam's Club and directly at lulaabed.com. It targets mid-range buyers who want flexibility, specifically the ability to switch between a soft and a firm sleeping surface without purchasing a separate mattress.
The construction is straightforward: a gel swirl memory foam comfort layer sits on top of a proprietary AirGrid support foam core. The core functions as both a support layer and a breathability channel, letting air circulate through the foam to reduce heat buildup. The entire unit is enclosed in a zip-off, machine-washable cover, which is a practical feature rarely found at this price.
The mattress is available in Twin XL, Full, Queen, King, and Cal King. Queen pricing runs around $899 on the brand's direct site, though Sam's Club often lists promotional pricing considerably lower. The 120-night trial gives you enough time to test both sides before committing.
Comfort and firmness
The dual-sided design is what makes the LulaaBed genuinely different from most foam mattresses in its class. The soft side is a medium-soft surface suited to side sleepers who need pressure relief at the shoulder and hip. The firm side provides a more supportive surface for back sleepers and stomach sleepers who need spinal alignment without deep sinkage.
In practice, most sleepers settle on one side within the first month and stop flipping. But the option matters for guest rooms and for couples who cannot agree on a single firmness. The gel infusion in the foam helps with temperature regulation, and the air channel base below adds a second layer of breathability. In our testing, the LulaaBed runs cooler than standard memory foam in the same price range.
Edge support is the weakest point. As with most all-foam constructions, sitting on the perimeter produces noticeable compression. This is not a problem for sleeping, but it can make getting in and out of bed feel less stable compared to a hybrid with perimeter coils.
Performance: back pain, motion isolation, durability
Is the LulaaBed good for back pain?
The firm side provides solid back support for most back and stomach sleepers, and many owners report reduced morning back pain after switching from an older innerspring. That said, the LulaaBed does not have a dedicated lumbar reinforcement zone. If you have chronic lower back pain and need targeted lumbar support, a mattress with active lumbar zoning will serve you better.
Motion isolation
All-foam construction isolates motion better than most innerspring alternatives. The soft side performs slightly better than the firm side on motion transfer, but both sides reduce partner disturbance meaningfully. This makes the LulaaBed a reasonable choice for couples, though not on par with a full memory foam mattress optimized specifically for motion isolation.
Durability
The foam is CertiPUR-US certified and high-density enough to perform well across a decade of use. Lulaabed backs the mattress with a 20-year limited warranty, which signals confidence in the construction. Long-term owner reports corroborate this, with minimal sagging noted even after several years of regular use on both sides.
What the LulaaBed is made of
From the outside in, the construction layers are:
- Zip-off removable cover, machine-washable fabric, double-sided
- Medium-soft side comfort layer: gel swirl memory foam, suited to side sleepers
- AirGrid support core: proprietary base foam with air channels for airflow and humidity control, plus the brand's patented edge support wedges for perimeter stability
- Medium-firm side comfort layer: gel swirl memory foam, suited to back and stomach sleepers
Total height is 12 inches. The mattress is not a bed-in-a-box compressed format, so delivery logistics may differ from the typical roll-up foam brands.
Common questions
Is the LulaaBed flippable?
Yes. That is the core design feature. Flipping the mattress 180 degrees switches you from the soft side to the firm side, or vice versa. You can do this any time you want to adjust the feel.
Does the LulaaBed come in a box?
No. The LulaaBed does not ship compressed in a box. Delivery logistics follow standard freight arrangements rather than the bed-in-a-box format used by most DTC foam brands.
Can the LulaaBed be used with an adjustable base?
Yes. The foam construction is compatible with adjustable bed frames, including the brand's own adjustable bases, which include zero-gravity, massage, and anti-snore presets.
Is the LulaaBed made in the USA?
Yes. The LulaaBed is manufactured in California.

The LulaaBed is a solid mid-range all-foam mattress with a genuinely useful dual-firmness design. Its best use case is a guest room or a couple's bed where one partner runs hot or the two disagree on firmness. If you need active lumbar support for back pain, look at a mattress with dedicated zoning.
