I have had very good luck soaking various types of lettuce seeds.  What I
have done is to spread them on a paper towel,  and put another paper
towel over them.  Then I spray the whole thing with water, and slide it
into a plastic bag, or sandwich it in between  two sheets of plastic
wrap.  Then I store it on top of the fridge, where it's warm, but not too
warm.  After a few (3-7 days) the lettuce seeds start to sprout.  I pick
them off with a tweezers and plant them.  A little bit of paper doesn't
hurt them a bit.  
I deliberately mix the lettuce seeds together and don't keep track of
them as I put them in the square, because I like the surprise  of not
knowing what kinds of lettuce are going to pop up.
