You'd have to create a custom 404 redirect to do that. Joomla needs to know where a user is going and /username doesn't tell Joomla anything. So you'll always have a menu alias in profile URLs. So if you create a public Joomla menu item to CBs profile page then you'll have the following URL.
domain.com/menu-alias/username
The menu-alias tells Joomla they are trying to reach CBs profile page. So for example if your menu item has a menu alias of "profile" you'd have the following.
domain.com/profile/username
Which is exactly what we have here at Joomlapolis. For example my profile URL is as follows.
As for the username in the URL that can be customized using the alias field in CB > Field Management.

I know this will be out of the scope of your support, but if you could just point me in the right direction...
I've got the URL sorted out now, apart from when I am using the JLex Comment plugin. In its comment section, if a username is clicked, it goes to the full profile URL, not the shortened one (component/comprofiler/userprofile/username instead of profile/username).
Could you just let me know if the solution to this will be either Community Builder related, or something with the JLex plugin?
Thank you!

My guess is your 3rd party extension isn't properly building the profile URL. We've no control over what 3rd party extensions do, sorry. If you want a article commenting solution that truly integrates with CB I recommend CB Activity.
