Well here I am finally.. I received my bed but couldn't use it as I had no one to help me set it up.. I am almost 70 and there are a few things I can't do now.. Anyways, the first night I slept on it was a dream come true.. Woke up more refreshed then I have been for a very long time.. I love this bed.. My daughter does also and we are working on getting one for her as soon as possible..
From Consumer Report's rating of a "7" in firmness, and other reviews actually complaining about how firm it was, I expected this mattress bed to be, well, really firm! It's not at all. You sink into it immediately but the support does feel okay, mostly if you lie on your back, though. The real problem for me is moving around; it's a tremendous effort! So I wake up a lot trying to shift position. I have a shoulder injury and have to be careful not to stress it just trying to turn onto my side. And the foam does feel very warm at times, which won't be fun in the summer. It bothered me right away and my husband finally had a night when he said he'd felt warm, too. All in all, I don't love the mattress. It's better than the old one but after three weeks, I still have the same aches and pains and stiffness in the morning and I actually experience hip pain when I try to sleep on my side, which is my preferred positon. This was supposed to be one of the better foam mattresses for side sleeping. So maybe it works for young people; it's not doing anything wonderful for us in our 50's. Seems like nice quality and all but, I'm disappointed in how much we sink into it, which is why it's then so hard to turn over, even onto my side. I'm of average build and weight and I still have to really heave out of the pits. You also can't get too close to the edge or you feel like you'll slide off, something that a YouTube review said didn't happen. Well, it does.
I have a bad back and have trouble sleeping. It’s hard to find a bed that has enough support and is also affordable. I have slept much better on my new Ghostbed than the expensive bed we had. Worth every penny!
We were hesitant about another foam mattress as our 4 year old tempurpedic was terrible. I was good for a few months and then gradually became a hot mess that slept like quicksand. Pain and night sweats every night. I researched consumer reports and decided to give Ghostbed a try. It is an awesome bed that is everything the other was not. Just firm enough. I am not sucked into it every night. It is not difficult to turn over and get out of it. I don't fall off the edge. If you are not sure give it a try - they will not be picking up mine. It was about 1/3 the price of the bad mattress.
