I had my reservations about a boxed mattress -- mainly that sleeping on foam would feel too much like sinking into a marshmallow. Fortunately, the rating of 6.5-7 (out of a possible 10 for "very hard") accurately describes how the GhostBed feels once it has a chance to expand out of the box for a few days. I've always preferred a firmer, cooler mattress and this delivers! The edges have more "give" compared to my old coil spring mattress, and so I find myself with a little less sleeping real estate than before. Only had it for a month now but overall very happy, and hope it still feels this firm in three years.

After 15 years, and 2 different Sleep Number beds, my husband and I knew we needed a major change for our backs, hips, and sleeping patterns. We were tossing and turning, aching when we'd rise, and not able to sleep full nights in our old bed. After lots of research we choose Ghostbed. The price was affordable, it was an inch thicker than most of the competitor mattresses, and it supports a great deal more weight than other foam beds. (Check their FAQ page for specific information.) Setting up the mattress was a piece of cake and sleeping in it is heavenly. I love that this mattress is supportive without giving that dreaded "stuck in a hole" feeling. No more restless souls in this king size bed! Also, we received 3 free Ghost Pillows with our mattress order. I must say, we were skeptical about memory foam pillows. We had yet to find a comfortable, cool, and non-neck bending brand. BUT...along came our Ghost Pillows and they were a dream. Soft, supportive, and cool. We allowed our 2 girls to try them. They're in middle school and high school and they loved them so much that we ended up ordering two more for our household. (It was a buy 1 get 1 free offer.) I can't stress enough how good it feels to have a restful night of sleep and no more aches and pains when we get up. And...I'm comfortable sleeping in all positions on this mattress and pillow. In fact, I'm typing this review while still snuggled up in my bed. Aaahhh! It's going to be a great day!

Sleeps very very hard like a park bench me and my wife woke up for days with horrible backaches. Was told to endure back pains for 30 days and hope it goes away. Had to put old mattress back cause bed never got softer and pains got worst. Mattress sitting in back room cause wont let me return for 30 days. Do not buy unless you like very firm mattress. Helix mattress lets you customize and we have been sleeping like babies on that one

I wanted to wait a year before putting in my review. The bed is still as comfortable as it was when we first got it. Wish the Ghost Pillows were out then because I to this day cannot find a pillow that suits my comfort needs. That may be next on my list. Thank you Ghostbed!

After hearing this mattress promoted on my favorite podcast, I knew I had to take a look after moving into a new apartment. The mattress arrived on time, sprung up in a matter of minutes and required no boxspring, a great deal! The mattress is very supportive and comfortable, you won't regret it!

We’ve had our mattress for 2 weeks. It’s easy to fall asleep on, very comfortable and does not sleep hot. I wake up a little sore sometimes, even though I sleep well on the mattress. The muscle soreness goes away quickly but it’s not something I’ve experienced with previous (coil) mattresses. That why I’m giving only four instead of five stars. I also only weigh about 100 pounds, which could contribute to how the mattress responds. I feel well supported by the mattress and no sore spots sleeping on both my side and back.

I am an analyzer by trade so I don't make any purchases without extensively researching the options. I looked at dozens of companies, mattress specifications, and reviews before deciding on GhostBed and I am so thrilled with my new bed. It is dense enough that we don't sink or bottom out but soft enough that it hugs in all the right places.

Awsome mattress! All I can say is you cannot go wrong... with my order I received 3 free ghost pillows which are just as great as the mattress! Shipping was literally faster than the tracking information, keep in mind mattress ships from Austin Texas and I live in Houston Texas.

I really wanted to like this mattress. However, compared to my former foam mattress which was wonderful, this one is a rock. I continuously wake up throughout the night from having to flip sides because I have bed sores all over me. I am now sleeping less than 4 hours a night due to hurting all over. It's impossible to return the mattress due to not being able to stuff it back into a box for shipping, so I'm stuck with it and it sure wasn't cheap. If I'd purchased it at a store, I'd have already returned it. When a mattress prevents one from sleeping because it hurts too much to lay on it, this is a serious problem. I am really suffering everyday from the lack of sleep and I don't know how to solve this. I can barely function at work anymore.

The buying process was very easy I have to say. I arrive and I got the deal that came with 2 pillows. Since I read it had latex on the top layer, I was expecting it to be a bit firmer like my old bed. I have arthritis and need a little more support. But when I tried it, the bed was super super soft on the edges and as I lay down, the bed is still quite soft. As I read the website again, I noticed it says "aerated latex." As opposed to solid latex, it is aerated, which I would presume to be why it is much much softer than I expected. I sink in and my back hurts in the morning. I was also expecting GhostPillows, but I received Nature's Sleep Pillows. I prefer the look of the Ghost Pillow, especially since it's white. The Nature's Sleep Pillows are yellow ish. The yellow color is unappealing to me. Although it didn't work for me, it may provide the right amount of plush/firmness for others.
