Lucid 3-Inch Queen Mattress Topper
Score: 79/100
Sure2Sleep Gel Swirl
Score: 75/100Rankings
Lucid's 3-inch Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Topper offers cooling gel infusion and an aloe-infused plush cover for side sleepers, delivering pressure relief on firm mattresses. The topper needs up to three days to decompress and can feel too soft for heavier users. Best suited for light to average-weight sleepers who prioritize cooling comfort.
Sure2Sleep's 3-inch King gel-swirl memory foam topper offers strong cooling, breathability, and a 5-zone design for targeted pressure relief. It can slip on the mattress and has a slower response, which may affect bounce. Best suited for side and back sleepers with firm mattresses looking for an affordable refresh.

Professional reviewers and editors commend the Lucid 2-inch topper for its cooling gel, ventilated design, and perfect Queen-size fit, describing it as an easy, affordable fix for firm mattresses. They note the availability of thicker options for heavier sleepers but point out the long expansion time as a minor inconvenience.
Everyday users consistently praise the topper's plush contouring, pressure-relief benefits, and ability to keep hot sleepers cool, while recurring complaints focus on excessive softness for heavier individuals, the need to wait up to three days for full expansion, and occasional off-gassing odors.
“softens firm beds effectively without overheating”
“too plush for heavier users”
“I don't turn from side to side all night”
Professional reviewers commend the Sure2Sleep topper for its standout softness, effective cooling via gel swirl and open-cell foam, and flexible thickness options that allow users to fine-tune comfort. They also note its budget-friendly price and ability to rejuvenate firm or aged mattresses, while calling out the lack of an anti-slip surface and the typical slow response of memory foam as drawbacks.
Everyday users consistently praise the topper for delivering noticeable pressure relief, a cooler sleep surface, and a plush, cloud-like feel that reduces night-time tossing. Common complaints revolve around the product slipping on the mattress, a slower sink-in feel, and occasional bunching with the thicker 3-inch version, but overall sentiment is positive, especially given the price point.
