Currently using a Luxi mattress but thinking about returning it for a #BME

Hi lowbmi,

Luxi also no longer uses latex but a hybrid

Luxi changed slightly their configuration in May of this year but I don’t have complete information on the densities of the two new foam layers that have replaced the memory foam and the latex layer. The latex-replacement layer (part of the laminated reversible piece that includes the SBT layer) is one of the “newer” generation of high-performance polyfoams that are higher in density and resilient, but don’t have the viscous nature of memory foam.

It is not as soft as latex in my experience. People say it’s the same or as responsive but I disagree. On the soft side I can feel the Luxi foam shapes pushing up on me. The new hybrid medium layer is too firm feel to my body and not at all responsive.

The foam is laminated to two other layers, and works as part of a completed mattress, so the overall comfort would be dictated by all the layers working together. While this comfort combination may not be to your liking, there are others who do enjoy it, so I’d advise the same caution here about your feedback as I did in your other thread about using other’s opinions as a reliable predictor about what may be applicable for someone else in a mattress.

The cover seems exacerbates this as it fits very tightly over everything making the layers slightly compressed.

A tight fitting cover would be necessitated by this design to help keep the configurable system in place, especially when split.

I am returning my Luxi or at least trying to. I first asked them to return my item almost 4 weeks ago. Still waiting to hear back from them after contacting again last week.

Have you been emailing or phoning? If you’ve been waiting four weeks via email, I would contact them via their customer service at 888-813-2944 (if you haven’t already).

This is the reason I won’t try the BME titan flex, it seems similar to the stuff Luxi is now using which didn’t work for me at all.

The Luxi is a totally different design than the BME (or almost any other mattress, for that matter), and even if you knew the exact density and ILD of every layer within their mattress, the only way to truly compare the Luxi to any other mattress would be in a side by side comparison. Even an expert manufacturer would have a difficult time in predicting how the Luxi would compare to other configurations. Ultimately, only your own personal testing will be able to determine if any product is plush enough for the specific needs you outlined in your previous thread.
