Ben found the original La-Z-Boy Lux hybrid medium to medium-soft, with cushioning for his shoulders and responsive foam that made changing positions easy. The tested model is an older boxed mattress; its current availability, specifications and purchase terms have not been confirmed.
Ben’s original experience
The mattress expanded quickly out of the box and felt softer than a typical medium-firm hybrid to Ben. He found the upper foam easy to press into and quick to recover. For side sleeping, his shoulder sank into the surface comfortably; he could also change positions without feeling stuck.
The original review described a stretchy, stain-resistant cover. Ben had a favorable experience with a separate La-Z-Boy recliner’s stain-resistant fabric, but that does not establish how the mattress cover performs against every spill. Follow the care instructions for the item you own.
Original Lux hybrid construction
The 2020 product information described an approximately 12.5-inch hybrid with foam layers—including Energex and copper-infused visco foam—above individually wrapped coils. Firmer perimeter coils were intended to support the edge. The original mattress used a coil core; it was not an all-foam bed.
Cooling, antimicrobial and durability claims in old marketing were not independently established by our review. Feel and temperature vary with the sleeper and the rest of the bedding.
Original review video
The original test included a 14-pound bowling-ball demonstration. A bowling ball illustrates compression under one load, not comfort for every sleeper.

Who might prefer a similar hybrid?
You like a soft-to-medium surface and want responsive foam over coils.
You prefer less cushioning or need a different feel for your position and body.
Try a mattress in your normal sleeping position when possible. A mattress that works for Ben may feel different to another person.
