I like the GhostBed. For me, it's extremely comfortable to fall asleep in and feels supportive. The material is dense and I actually think the cooling technology works. I was worried because my partner and I are both on the heavier side in terms of weight and I've had an online hybrid mattress before from a different company that was just way too "sink-y." GhostBed does much better at that, but I did pair it with a heavy duty bedframe to give it as much help as possible. The main reasons for 4 stars instead of 5 are that (1) in the morning I do feel like I'm a little sunken into the bed (although falling asleep feels great) and (2) the edge support, especially at the corners, isn't great. Actually, the edges never popped up all the way after unboxing. Not sure how that will do over time. Like other reviews said, the free pillows are great! They're so cold after they've been sitting for a while they almost feel wet. We may order more.
Base and mattress were easy to set up.Base shipping box was beat up and some small damage that did not warrant the hassle of return. I wish legs were sturdier. 2 of the threaded inserts spun out. Lucky there were 2 more I could use. Mattress was firmer than expected. Ok first few weeks. Now that its broken in it's a little softer but thinner. I'm a side sleeper. 6ft 240. Now I sometimes feel springs .I'm looking into a topper option
The flex mattress is extremely comfortable, and I like that it is not all memory foam. The mattress seemed really hot at first, but I changed the mattress cover I was using and have not had issues since. The pillows that come with the purchase are comfortable, but they are made of some slippery material so pillow cases will NOT stay on them at all. I likely will not use them anymore. I had ordered the platform as well, but ended up not using it. It is not returnable!!! The platform was very heavy but seemed sturdy.
I bought the Ghostbed Flex in king size. My wife and I have been very happy with it. I was nervous at first about ordering online without trying it out first, but after reading a bunch of third party reviews and tests I decided to go with the Ghost and I am glad I did. There was no smell from the mattress when we opened it up, that was a common complaint about a lot of other brands. This made it so we could use it right away without having to let it air out. My wife wanted one made without the nasty flame retardant chemicals and the Ghost happens to work for that as well. Firmness I would say is medium... I am a back/ side sleeper and were very happy with it.
I've never understood everyone saying I fell in love with our new ghost bed. But I'll say this once we received our ghost bed we was excited. We got the hybrid bed and it's awesome. Me and my wife fell in love with this bed . We started getting the best rest of our life on this bed . I would be at work thinking of can't wait to lay on our new bed . It's so comfortable I've been having issues with my back after we started sleeping on this bed my back issues are getting better! This bed is in the goldy lock range not to soft not to hard but just right! You get 2 pillows as well with this bed and there perfect. Perfect match with this bed
