I’ve been listening to the drinkin bros podcast and they keep talking about this product!! So I had to try it, they were not wrong at all!! Bed bang for the buck bar none! Would recommend highly
I was really sad to find out that this was not the mattress for us... my wife found it too firm since the start but at first i just thought she was exaggerating. Over the past two weeks i started feeling discomfort in my lower back, and just recently the back pain in my lower back got so bad to the point i couldn't sleep until i placed a folded shirt to serve as 'support' for my lower back. I'm just really let down by this bed... I expected good support and comfort with the several memory foam layers and considering I'm a 6' 4" - 215 lbs guy i wasn't expecting any support issues considering my weight; but seems like that sadly i was wrong. I don't even get proper side-sleeping support on this bed either so the disappointment just keeps getting worse. We're at a point that we have moved to our guest bedroom to sleep in our old bed while we wait to see if customer service has any solutions before we just return the bed. I just noticed Ghostbed release a new 'luxe' mattress which but i'd only be interested to try if its softer or has better support.
Best decision we made, while I love this mattress I will be honest, it needs a pillow top. This mattress provides amazing support l, my back doesn't hurt anymore but it is very firm, it has to do with the temperature of my home too as I keep my thermostat down in the winter. I bought a pillow top for the mattress and it couldn't be more perfect. I would buy again in a heartbeat and the price couldn't be better either, a win/win in my book.
I have the mattress, foundation and pillows and the whole set is AMAZING! The mattress is so comfortable - I love not feeling any springs. Also, the mattress with the foundation result in a silent bed - no more creaks and groans every time you move. Lastly, I love my ghost pillows. I used to sleep with two regular pillows but I actually only need one ghost pillow. It provides the perfect amount of support! All in all, I say GO FOR IT! Buy the bed (and the pillows!)
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.
The delivery of my bed was fast. I couldn't believe that it was simply packed in a box.
As I'm still in the early stages of my new queen ghost bed, I can't decide on an exact rating for now. The bed is definitely comfortable and beats my former mattress as I was experiencing significant back and body pain. I am waking up with considerably less pain and hope that continues in the coming weeks/months.
