Hard at first but it breaks in very nice. Add a memory foam mattress topper and you wake up feeling brand new. Me and my wife have been feeling more rested and actually stay asleep throughout the night. I got the most basic one because I was a bit hesitant but I may later on switch to the best one. Overall mattress quality is 8/10

I was looking for a new mattress after our previous one had us waking up with back pain every morning. The Ghost Bed is perfect - right in between hard and soft. I no longer feel like I'm being sucked into the mattress, and I wake up every morning feeling pain-free and refreshed.

I'm a pretty active male weighing around 140 lbs (roughly 13% percent body fat). Been increasing my runs and the current bed started giving me back aches in the morning. I mostly sleep on my back, and since I was on a tight budget, I decided to purchase a king sized Ghostbed. (There were many others with similar foam bed-in-a-box concept, some being Purple, Leesa, Casper & Tuft&Needle). What made me levitate towards the Ghostbed was that the thickness of the bed was about an inch or more compared to other competitors, had a thin latex foam layer on top for better cooling option, considered hybrid between traditional memory foam and conventional beds, was considered more on the firm end (because we all know how long foam can stay firm...), great warranty, came with 3 pillows, price seemed most competitive...why not! The break in period took about 3 days for me, my body finally got used to it around the 4th or 5th day and ever since I sleep like a baby. Well, I was physically sinking into my old mattress and transitioning to something firm did take my body some time to get used to, but after that my back pains disappeared. One thing for me though, since I am a lighter weighted male, I wish it was a bit softer. Maybe if the top latex layer was a bit thinner, this bed would be perfect for me. Sometimes when I sleep on my side, I can feel a tad bit of pressure on my shoulders (my shoulders are pretty wider than average). And, when I sleep on my back, I don't really sink in as deep compared to traditional memory foam mattress, but I'm not really floating too much on top either, it's different but starting to really like it. On my stomach, this bed is REALLY comfortable; I have nothing to say about stomach sleeping. It's been about 2 months since I have purchased the Ghostbed, and overall I am very VERY pleased and satisfied. I'm going to say this bed would be perfect for those maybe heavier than me instead of lighter, but that all depends on your sleeping type. It's worth trying, I recommend!

I wantes to wait a few weeks before giving this thung a review. To allow break in and for my body to adjust. First off, this thing rocks!! I fall asleep quicker than I have in my entire life. And deeper too! I'm a big guy and this this thing props me up like a golf tee. I would recommend trying this bed out.

It keeps me pretty cool at night, and my dog doesn't disturb my sleep because it isolates movement pretty well. It hasn't felt the most comfortable ever, but that's likely because this is my first time sleeping in a bed of this type and I haven't gotten accustomed to it.

My husband ordered the Ghost Bed after reading many reviews. I was a bit leary. We got the bed and it is literally harder than sleeping on the floor but I agreed to give it a chance. The first week I couldn't sleep on it the entire night so I would go sleep on the couch. The second week I could sleep on it but only after waking up multiple times throughout the night and waking up sore and stiff. Three weeks in I can sleep on it but still wake up sore every morning - my husband too. As soon as our 30 days are up we are returning as we've had enough in-restful nights.

My husband and I are large people and our previous mattress developed embarrassing depressions where our bodies lay. (This despite years at Weight Watchers, but I digress). Anyway, we were getting poor sleep. So after consulting Consumer Reports, we purchased a king sized Ghost Bed. It came in a relatively small box which was not hard to negotiate up the stairs. The bed was wrapped in multiple layers of plastic, which when snipped, allowed the mattress to "inflate". It was a thrill to both watch and listen to it springing to life. Also, there was absolutely NO smell and it did not take any time at all to be sleep-worthy. But the proof is in the pudding so they say, and immediately upon laying on the bed, it was clear you could hardly feel your partner turn over. Amazing! And we have been getting much better night's sleep ever since. Now if we could only do something about the cat....

It's not uncomfortable, it's just not the vastly different experience memory foam mattresses are cracked up to be. Too firm, and doesn't give the cushy, hugging feeling they say memory foam will provide. Not the transformative experience I expected, certainly for over a thousand dollars.

For the last couple years I was getting really bad upperback, shoulder, and neck pain. This caused me to lack restful sleep and my massage therapist would tell me I had bad knots in my shoulders. A friend of mine who also has a bad back told me the ghost bed was working well for him. I figured I would give it a go, given I had 101 nights to try it out. The first few nights on my new ghost bed where not very pleasant. I believe it was because my lower back was not used to being supported correctly. I've now been sleeping on my ghost bed for over 6-weeks and I love it. My nights are restful and I no longer wake up with pain in my upperback, shoulders, and neck. Also, My massage therapist is pleased she no longer has to spend an hour only working the knots out of my back.

I did a ton of research before deciding on giving the Ghost Bed a shot. You will not be disappointed. This is by far the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on. It is the perfect level of soft and firm. I have suffered from a shoulder injury for a few years and I have not woken up once with shoulder pain since we purchased the ghost bed. For the price, quality, and comfort, you won't find a better deal anywhere else!
