My husband ordered the Ghost Bed after reading many reviews. I was a bit leary. We got the bed and it is literally harder than sleeping on the floor but I agreed to give it a chance. The first week I couldn't sleep on it the entire night so I would go sleep on the couch. The second week I could sleep on it but only after waking up multiple times throughout the night and waking up sore and stiff. Three weeks in I can sleep on it but still wake up sore every morning - my husband too. As soon as our 30 days are up we are returning as we've had enough in-restful nights.
I didn't quite know what to expect. I was Leary of buying a bed this way. I was tired of waking up with neck pain and not being able to sleep. At first, I was not sure about it as it was much firmer than I had initially anticipated. I was definitely convinced after the first night of sleep. I use Amazon Alexa to play sleep music every night, I set the sleep timer for 2 hours and usually at least listen for an hour or so before falling asleep. With this bed, I am lucky to hear 4 songs. I woke up feeling well rested and did not toss and turn like I normally did. Now, a month later I would never get another bed. I just sleep so well. My only complaint which I'm sure you hear a lot, is I never want to get up and out of the bed! The Pillows are amazing as well. Overall, just highly recommend this.
I've had a Black Diamond memory foam latex hybrid for the last 6 years - I've loved it so much I've hauled it across country multiple times with my moves. After moving in with my fiance we knew we had to get a new bed because hers sucked (she didn't want to keep my existing). I did a lot of research (mattress research is hard to do), and decided on the Ghostbed.
My initial thoughts were that it was a bit softer than we wanted, but we've had it about a month now and we've grown accustomed to it. I would rate it about 7.5 out of 10 on firmness. The latex layer does give it more "bounce" than your typical memory foam mattress. I think this is a pretty good mattress if you are mostly a side sleeper - I rotate during the night, but am mostly on my side.
However, my fiance gets a stuffy nose each night we sleep on it, and we're not sure if that is because of the mattress or not...
