I'm a pretty active male weighing around 140 lbs (roughly 13% percent body fat).
Been increasing my runs and the current bed started giving me back aches in the morning. I mostly sleep on my back, and since I was on a tight budget, I decided to purchase a king sized Ghostbed. (There were many others with similar foam bed-in-a-box concept, some being Purple, Leesa, Casper & Tuft&Needle). What made me levitate towards the Ghostbed was that the thickness of the bed was about an inch or more compared to other competitors, had a thin latex foam layer on top for better cooling option, considered hybrid between traditional memory foam and conventional beds, was considered more on the firm end (because we all know how long foam can stay firm...), great warranty, came with 3 pillows, price seemed most competitive...why not!
The break in period took about 3 days for me, my body finally got used to it around the 4th or 5th day and ever since I sleep like a baby. Well, I was physically sinking into my old mattress and transitioning to something firm did take my body some time to get used to, but after that my back pains disappeared.
One thing for me though, since I am a lighter weighted male, I wish it was a bit softer. Maybe if the top latex layer was a bit thinner, this bed would be perfect for me. Sometimes when I sleep on my side, I can feel a tad bit of pressure on my shoulders (my shoulders are pretty wider than average). And, when I sleep on my back, I don't really sink in as deep compared to traditional memory foam mattress, but I'm not really floating too much on top either, it's different but starting to really like it. On my stomach, this bed is REALLY comfortable; I have nothing to say about stomach sleeping.
It's been about 2 months since I have purchased the Ghostbed, and overall I am very VERY pleased and satisfied. I'm going to say this bed would be perfect for those maybe heavier than me instead of lighter, but that all depends on your sleeping type.
Got the mattress after years of a foam mattress that was too soft. The Ghost Bed mattress is awesome and has great support. I've had it for 2 weeks and my wife and I love it so much we hate getting out of bed in the AM. Great product, great price! It puts the more expensive showroom mattresses to shame.
