Cover
The layers of the Luxi One are wrapped in a soft and stretchy cover. It is not removable.
Comfort & Feel
There are three aspects that make up our assessment of comfort and feel. We call these "preference-based characteristics" because no rating here is better or worse – rather, the attributes that are most desirable to you will be determined solely by your personal preferences. We apply the same classification standards to each mattress so you can more easily compare apples to apples.
Softness ( what’s this )
The company calls the Luxi One a "Medium Soft" mattress, but we found it to be a Firm on our softness scale. It is firmer than any of the Luxi mattress configurations.

| Softness Level (1=Least Soft, 9=Most Soft) |
3 | Firm |
Cushioning Depth ( what’s this )
The Luxi One has shallower cushioning than the Luxi mattress configurations, giving you more of a floating-on-top feeling than one of deeply sinking in.
| Cushioning Depth (1=Shallowest, 9=Deepest) |
4 | Shallower than average |
Responsiveness ( what’s this )
The Luxi One has no memory foam, so has none of that slow-responding memory feel. The bed springs right back after being compressed.
There was also little to no bounce in this mattress when our tester dropped his weight on to the bed.
| Response Rate (1=Slowest, 9=Fastest) |
9 | Very quick recovery, little bounce |
Back Support & Pressure Relief
Our review of the Luxi mattress includes a more detailed assessment of support and pressure relief, and a discussion of how the SBT foam effects those.
The Luxi One is a firmer mattress, and in our view it would suit stomach sleepers very well. We also felt it would be a good choice for back sleepers that prefer a firmer feel. Those who sleep primarily on their sides may find the Luxi One too firm overall, but for occasional side sleepers, it may be just fine.
Other Features
Beyond the preference-based characteristics of comfort and feel, and the body matching for spinal alignment and pressure relief, a mattress will have a number of other attributes that can make it a better or worse choice for you. We call these "priority-based characteristics" because they are areas in which a mattress can be better or worse, but that will have differing amounts of importance to each sleeper. So, determining how much importance to give to these features will be entirely a matter of your own personal priorities. As always, we apply the same ratings standards to each mattress so you can more easily compare apples to apples.
Motion Isolation ( what’s this )
We quickly tested motion isolation by dropping a bowling ball on the bed, as well as the weight of our 200 lb. tester to see if a bowling pin standing on the bed would topple. As with the Luxi mattress, it did not.
If you are sensitive to a partner's movements in bed, either the Luxi One or the Luxi would be a very good choice.
| Motion Isolation Rating | 10 /10 | Exceptional |
Temperature ( what’s this )
All-foam mattresses in general are not the best choice for those with concerns about sleeping hot or overheating in bed. The Luxi One shares similar materials and construction to the Luxi mattress, though it has shallower cushioning, so more of your body is exposed to air.
For most people that haven't had a past issue of sleeping hot, we don't think the Luxi One bed will be problematic, but if this is a known issue for you, a hybrid bed or bed with more specific cooling features may be a better choice.
| Stays “Cool” Rating | 5 /10 | Average |
Edge Support ( what’s this )
Foam mattresses aren’t typically very supportive along the very edge of the mattress—important if you like to sit on the edge of the bed, or if you tend to sleep along the edge. In our tests, the Luxi bed performed well for both sitting and laying on the edge of the mattress, and the Luxi One was even better. Our tester did not feel like he was melting or rolling off the bed.
| Edge Support Rating | 7 /10 | Good for a foam bed |
Ease of Repositioning ( what’s this )
The Luxi One is a firmer mattress than any of the Luxi configurations. Our tester did not have trouble with ease of movement on any of the Luxi mattresses.
| Repositioning Rating | 8 /10 | Very good |
Green Features ( what’s this )
For mattress shoppers concerned with the use of natural materials, sustainable manufacturing practices or the like, we offer our subjective evaluation of any efforts taken by the company to make the mattress more green, healthy, or safe.
In the case of the Luxi mattresses, including the Luxi One, all of the foams used are certified to the CertiPUR-US standard, which verifies that a material has low VOC off-gassing as well as a lack of chemicals and other substances regulated by the CPSC. This foam certification is very common, and a standard for most mainstream mattress brands.
Luxi does differ somewhat from similar all-foam mattresses in that some of the petroleum oils used to make the foams are replaced with plant-based oils. The Luxi website has a page on its sustainability initiatives.
| Green Rating | 4 /10 | Okay |
Adjustable Base Compatibility ( what’s this )
We did not specifically test the Luxi One on an adjustable base, but we did test the Luxi mattress, and it performed well.
| Adjustable Base Use Rating | 9 /10 | Very compatible |
Price, Value & Longevity
How Much Does the Luxi One Mattress Cost?
Prices shown are list prices. Remember that GoodBed keeps our site current with the best available discounts on all online mattresses, many of which are exclusive discounts for our readers.
What Are You Getting?
The Luxi One is a 9" all-foam mattress that employs a layer of the company's propriety SBT articulated foam, along with a top layer of synthetic latex in a 4-lb. density. While it lacks the adjustable features of its sister mattress, the Luxi bed, the Luxi One is much less expensive (about $500 less for a queen size), making it a good choice if you prefer a firmer mattress and do not need to adjust the softness on the fly.
How Long Will the Luxi One Last?
When it comes to estimating the comfort lifespan of a mattress, we tend to use foam density as our best, albeit imperfect, predictor of how long a foam will retain its shape and resiliency. In the case of the Luxi One mattress, the only question mark in our view is the SBT foam which is of 2.5 lb. density, and since it is proprietary, it does not have a track record.
Overall Value
On balance, we feel that Luxi One mattress stacks up very well compared other all-foam mattresses available online in terms of price. It has some interesting proprietary materials that are unique to Luxi, although it lacks the adjustable features of the original Luxi mattress.
| Value Rating | 8 /10 | Good value |
Other Factors to Consider
Delivery
- Free delivery to your door
Luxi includes free delivery, which is not particularly unusual among its competitors. Delivery will be to your door, so you are responsible for getting the box into your home and unpacking the mattress.
Returns
- 100-day trial period
- Full refund with proof of donation
Luxi offers buyers a 100-day trial period, and requires that buyers keep the mattress for a minimum of 30 days. The company requires proof of donation to initiate a refund (they will help you find a place to donate the mattress). See: Luxi return policy.
Warranty
- Warranty Length: 10 years
- Indentation Coverage: 1.5” and above
One of the biggest, if not THE biggest complaints about any mattress from consumers regards body impressions — the inability of a mattress to spring back, eventually creating a low spot/sinkhole in the mattress. As such, mattress warranties all contain a term defining how big a sag or ‘body impression’ (measured when no one is on the mattress) is considered a defect, and thus covered under the warranty. The industry standard for mattresses is generally between ¾” and 1.5”. Luxi has chosen to cover indentations that meet or exceed 1.5" which is certainly on the high end of average. Practically speaking, that means any softening or sagging would need to be at least that deep before the warranty would offer you protection. See: Luxi warranty policy.
