GhostBed Classic 11 Inch Cool Gel Memory Foam & Latex Mattress - Medium-Firm Feel, Made in The USA, California King

I had to purchase a new bed, the other half wanted her bed back. So many bed choices, which one should I get. Last time I bought a bed, I went to a store. I laid down on a few and made a choice. It's hard to tell what your really going to like until you sleep a night or so on it. I filled out their questionnaire and went with their recommendation. NAILED IT. I'm typically a side sleeper. Ive never been able to sleep on my back. I noticed a difference in comfort the first night. Ive had it 4 days now and love it. I actually slept on my back last night. Great bed..

Purchased: Queen sized GhostBed. I ordered this Saturday night, it arrived by 11am on Wednesday - NICE!! Even though it was listed as about 80 lbs, I was totally able to get it out of the box, drag it up my stairs by the plastic & up onto my box spring, by myself. It's vacuum packed so it was compacted in the plastic & was very easily dragged. Once I cut off the plastic, it started springing to life. I was able to use it immediately. Since this is a HUGE life decision, this review may be the longest one I've done yet....I LOVE LOVE this bed. I planned on giving it about a week prior to reviewing, but after 2 nights, I'm stoked! I've battled severe insomnia since I was in high school, I'm 45 now. I've slept on many o mattresses over the years (vacations, friends/family homes, etc). Most all were too hard, too soft, or just flat out uncomfortable - sometimes I'd end up on the couch. I've slept on Tempurpedics a few times and I do NOT like them at all! Not only did they hold body heat, they are too foamy like, too squishy, too soft, and takes too long to remold once you move positions... I have 3 beds in my house and 2 couches... Bouncing back & forth hoping for a good nights sleep that night.Now, this GhostBed. The first night, my dogs slept so deeply that it was hard for me to get the full effect of the bed, they didn't move! LOL They LOVE it too! So... last night. I made the dogs wait until I got comfy before letting them up. I slept from 2am to 8am! I have not slept longer than 2 hours in years! That's 6 hours! I woke up and felt ready to conquer the world today! OMG, I can't stress enough how important & awesome this was for me! Although a similar design to Tempurpedics... the GhostBed is not as squishy or foamy-like, my body did NOT sink as much as I thought it would (I'm a plus sized gal). I had read that the GB was great for side sleepers... I TOTALLY agree! I didn't even need to put a pillow between my legs, which I've done for years!! The body alignment was so perfect, I didn't need it!! I even went from using 2-3 pillows to one!! I don't know about the remolding when you reposition, because I barely moved! And usually I thrash about constantly to find that comfy position! A few reviews mentioned the cooling factor... it's weird. When I got up, the GB was very warm to the touch, my blankets were warm as well, but I did NOT feel heated at all, I'll tell you what!!!!!!!!!!!!! it was so strange! It's like the GB absorbes the heat & just keeps it from effecting you! I also like that the sheet tends to stay more in place than it does on a smoother surfaced mattress.Overall so far, I am EXTREMELY happy with this bed! It'll be interesting to see how long it will last, hopefully for a long while... although it's cheaper than a store bought mattress (for the most part), it would be just as expensive, if not more, if it's having to be replaced 2-3 times to one store bought mattress...it replaced one I've had for 7 years. so we'll see.Now ya'all just need to design the perfect pillow!

Update: We contacted Ghostbed customer service who confirmed that this was possibly a manufacturing defect and they shipped out a replacement with expedited shipping. Overall I am pleased with their quick turnaround, service and product.Original review:The mattress arrived stained or soiled. I am not sure if this was a previously returned or used mattress. At first I thought it was just stained packaging but when I removed it from the vacuum bag I realized that they sent me a stained matress. It has brown stains in the center of the mattress cover and the cover itself was "stuck" to the interior part of the mattress. I had to peel it off to release it. Kind of nasty. Disappointed with this purchase and the quality control at ghostbed.

Love this bed, love the controls, the entire set is great quality, it is the best bed I will ever own.

I've waited a few months to post my thoughts--just to give the bed a chance. My review is a bit jumbled but touches on most points.~Bed & boxspring arrived as promised and was very easy to set up.~The mattress itself is no way a "firm" but I would say a 6-7/10. Very comfortable but def not firm, as I had read in several reviews (and I read a lot).~I was skeptical from day one but I will not be returning this bed. I wish I hadn't waited so long to buy it. I've had a painful hip for 2 yrs; hard to walk 1st thing in the am or get out of a chair (and I'm pretty young). This pain TOTALLY disappeared after the 1st night's sleep on the new mattress---obviously our old mattress was to blame..~I read a lot of reviews that said you cannot feel the tossing & turning of your partner...this is somewhat false. When sleeping, I am not awakened by my husband moving around but when I am awake, I do get the tossing and turning waves.~The edges are not supportive at all; I literally roll out of bed each morning. I knew this b4 purchasing and it isn't really a problem for us. Now, who's to say in 5 yrs the mattress won't have sloping edges?~Regular King fitted sheet is a bit too large for the mattress but we don't really care about that -- just putting it out there for others.~This bed hasn't been around long enough to know what to expect in 8-10yrs but for now we are happy.~I would definitely recommend purchasing. I would give 4.5 stars (if possible)--just wish the mattress was a tad firmer.

After a year of debating and researching mattresses, along with over two years of sore backs and necks, my husband and I decided to take the plunge and order the Ghost bed. We researched all kinds of mattresses, but since we are on a budget, we were debating between GhostBed and Purple. We went with GhostBed because it was cheaper and the reviews of the mattress seemed to be what we were looking for.The first night sleeping on it, I tossed and turned. My back was so so sore the next day. The next night was close to the same, and same for my husband. But the third night was heaven. Neither of us woke up hardly at all. We love this mattress because the motion doesn't transfer as much, so we do not wake each other up as often when we move in our sleep (we both move a lot in our sleep)! After about a week, we finally fully adjusted to sleeping on a memory foam mattress. I'm even convinced that our Dachshund sleeps better on this mattress. It is also a very cool mattress. Unlike most reviews on Amazon, we received NOTHING for this review, and it is totally unbiased.

Matelas pour moi-même. Par contre je pensais que le poids serait moindre. Assez pesant pour le changement de draps.

I am writing this review in comparison to a Novosbed I also own (medium firm level, no added topper). The ghostbed is as advertised, it sleeps medium/ firm. When it first arrived I found it to be a little on the firm side, but after about 10 nights sleeping on it, the mattress began to break in a little and soften up just slightly. The latex top layer is definitely more responsive than memory foam and this has pros and cons in my opinion. If you sleep on your back you will find the ghostbed very supportive and comfortable. If you sleep on your side this is where I feel the Novosbed is advantaged as it provides a little more comfort against your hip and shoulder. By contrast, if you sleep hot, the ghostbed is the clear winner as I have not experienced sleeping hot on it, but would occasionally feel the Novosbed was trapping heat based on the top memory foam layer. In my opinion it doesn't really matter how comfortable a mattress is if you are constantly waking up feeling warm and shifting positions.In summation, I think the ghostbed is a great value option for those that like a medium firm mattress, sleep on their back and want a mattress that keeps them sleeping cool. If you sleep on your side, and want a little more comfort, you may want to contrast the ghostbed with some other memory foam options.

Spent too many ours reading about Bed-in-a-box - memory foam type beds. I became my own worse enemy. For every 3 bed companies cropping up, there is a review site with many reviews. Many of these sites are sponsored by some of the bed companies, though not all. As a result, many sites contradict one another.I chose this bed for these reasons. Weight; all the sites mentioned weight as an important factor as it directly correlates to quality materials. Latex; high quality beds are latex. Nature's Sleep; parent company, maker of quality bedding. Amazon; another layer of protection if it didn't work out.All that to say that the bed, a month in, is breaking in very nicely. First week was rough (why the 4 stars) but now I am sleeping 7-9 hours pain free for the first time in years! And the bed is only getting better a month later!Update. Two years later and I still absolutely love this bed. Without question is as good as some of the 5 star suites I’ve been lucky enough; by happenstance, to sleep on in the last two years. Would purchase again and would highly recommend.

It is definitely comfortable and supportive. My partner - who is very particular about needing good spinal alignment- definitely approves. The bed does compress at the edges but the fall off sensation is very, very minor and I got used to it shortly. It breathes well and the latex on top is aerated so it does create a sensation of air flow movement. I do on some occasions wake up in a bit of a 'hot spot' .. moving over to the other side is always a treat because it'll be cold to the touch. Off gassing was a bit of a concern, but the smell went away after a week (poor circulation in my bedroom surely did not help).This bed is built with stronger and more durable components by comparison to other bed-in-a-box rivals. That alone was key in my purchase of the Ghost Bed. It arrived shortly but sure was HEAVY. Try to have someone home with you to get it into the bedroom. Very solid mattress overall. Would like a more comprehensive Canadian experience (website directs you to Amazon and your return period is shortened to 30 days).Looking forward to sleep each night/morning (shift worker here by the way). Stamp of approval!

The GhostBed is a gel mattress that comes shipped in a small box, but expands quickly as soon as you pierce the plastic. It's really cool how it's done! We were hoping to replace our 11 year old coil mattress with this mattress as the price was great (especially compared with local mattress store prices). After letting the mattress expand for 24 hours, we didn't notice any odors. Although their website says that the mattress is a 6.5 out of 10 on firmness, I felt that the Ghostbed was a very firm mattress, much firmer than our "medium-firm" coil mattress. I am not a heavy person but when I lie on the mattress I barely make any imprints on the Ghostbed. I thought this would mean better support but unfortunately for my wife, she felt lower back soreness from the start, while I only started feeling similar soreness (when sleeping on my back) after about 2.5 weeks. The quality of the mattress is fine and does not look or feel cheap. However I definitely recommend you try it for a few weeks to make sure it provides the comfort and support you need. Judging a mattress for few minutes in a store, or even a few days at home is definitely not enough!
