I have pets and to guard against the occasional accident, I purchased the mattress protector cover. Before my purchase, I'd occasionally remove the zipped cover from the mattress and wash it. This works fine, but it is a struggle to get on and off. The protector goes on like a fitted sheet- so it's much easier to manage. It protects the top of the mattress from spills and accidents. The sides of the protector appear to be different material, so I don' believe the waterproof protection extends to the sides of the mattress. The protector material feels like soft fabric, and doesn't have a crinkly, plastic feel to it.

The bed was delivered very quickly and setup was a breeze. The bed is quite a bit too firm though and gives makes my shoulder and lower back ache a bit. The two pillows were also not consistent in firmness, one is great and the other is way too soft and compresses to nothing when you put your head on it.

We have had our mattress for about 3 weeks. It is our first memory foam mattress so it has taken some getting used to. We have two 80lb dogs that like to jump on and off the bed in the middle of the night, it is amazing that I can barely feel them when they do that. One reason I selected the Ghost Bed was because of the edge support, it has been pretty good but if you get right on the edge it will still collapse and make you feel like you're falling off. I am a side/stomach sleeper and I have noticed a significant drop in the amount of pain in my shoulders and upper back. Finally, the last thing that bugs me is when sitting up in bed watching TV, the cover is so slick that sheets slide on top of it. Overall we are pretty happy so far.

Should have seen my old mattress. You would have wanted a new one too! My boyfriend and I finally decided to jump on the online mattress wagon and I’m glad we did. I’ve slept so good since we got our mattress 3 weeks ago. I don’t wake up with lower back pain anymore and I actually sleep throughout the night now too. A LOT less tossing and turning goes on between my boyfriend and I and let me just tell you how nice it is to know that your partner is sleeping just as good. I highly recommend this mattress, box spring, and pillow combination to anyone looking for an upgrade worth every penny! Do your research and find what’s best for you but ghost bed has the best bang for your buck.

We pursued the split king over 2 years ago. Once we decide it was no longer for us we gave each of our kids a twin mattress. When looking for another mattress we tried two different brands . Them came right back to ghost bed . We are comfortable and very happy . Some competitors just did not match up. We are forever ghost bed customers

We had been looking for a new mattress forever-and saving up for a sleep number. Once we went and viewed the sleep numbers - after years of coveting one, I was unimpressed. My husband did some research and convinced me to try the ghost bed since we could return it after sleeping on it. I am so glad we did! I was skeptical at first, I have 6 herniated disks in my lower back and I have had surgery. I am getting my best night's sleep in years. I have recommended it to all my family and friends! It truly is so reasonably priced and so very comfortable. my husband easily put the base together. Our base cover did have pine sap on it and we were quickly sent a new one. The waterptoof mattress protector is wonderful as well- not plastic! My only complaint is the pillows are standard size- we have a king sized bed so all of our pillow cases look ridiculous and I miss longer pillows.

I love this! I've been in need of a firmer mattress and this one was just that. I actually sleep completely through the night now, whereas before, I would toss and turn and wake up repeatedly while sleeping on my old mattress. I can't wait to go to bed each night! I didn't realize how much of a difference a great mattress could make but now that I've had this I don't think I could go back to the mattresses I've had before.

I'm 30 years old, average weight, side and stomach sleeper. I have never experienced back pain outside of when I was pregnant. Since the first night I slept on this bed, i have woken up every day with pain. Right now, I have had such terrible upper back pain that I am taking pain killers around the clock. I keep sleeping on it, hoping it will get better, but it keeps getting worse. What was just discomfort in the beginning has become nearly debilitating pain. I've tried jumping on the mattress to soften it, taking care to watch my sleeping posture, trying new sleeping positions, and adding a mattress topper. Nothing has helped. I really wanted to like this mattress, but it is terrible for me. The only positive in my case is the return policy.

Only 2 weeks but so far so good! Not waking up with all the aches & pains I had before. I suffer from lower back pain, arthritis & I also had a double knee replacement. Some days I could not move but now it seems alot easier to get out of bed in the morning! No more tossing & turning!!

Based on the firmness rating we purchased the Ghost Bed thinking it was more to the firmer side. After sleeping on it for a few weeks it falls in the mid range of soft to firm 1 being soft 10 being firmest it is a 5. Everything associated with purchasing the bed was great. We received the bed the next day after ordering. We haven't had it 31 days yet but when that is met we will be sending the bed back. Hopefully the return will be as advertised as no hassles. This bed is a good bed it was just to soft for our comfort. The problem with these beds in a box you just don't know what firmness it will be since there is no standard scale and everybody is different. We went to various websites for testimonials all were different when it came to firmness. We have ordered another bed that is supposed to be firmer.
