Since switching to this mattress I have been experiencing much more back pain. It's been one month. First couple weeks were great, last two weeks I'm incredibly sore and uncomfortable when I wake up. Will give it another couple weeks but at this point, not likely to keep the mattress. It seems very comfortable when sitting and laying down but my neck and back are killing me.
So I was looking at beds for over a year. I finally decided to go with the ghost bed. Me and my wife are not the average size people. We are both around 250 pounds a piece. I liked that the GB was 11 inches thick. Some of the others were 9 inches I believe. We needed a new bed. We were waking up with back pain and not even sleeping that well at night. Im not going to say that my back pain was gone the first night we got it because it wasn't, but my back didn't hurt as much. We truly do get a goodnights rest now. I don't like the edge support like they claimed but Just move over a tiny bit and have no worries. We bought the Cali King. Im buying another one first of next year for our oldest boy. We also got a set of free pillows with out order of the bed. I dont care for them but my wife absolutely loves hers! We bought the wrong sheets when we first got out mattress. So they made sleeping hot. We bought a better brand of sheets. Sheets that breath and I sleep like a baby.. Would definitely recommend to anyone. Actually in the process of talking with my mom to buy one.
I spent several weeks researching beds and had ultimately decided on a traditional pillow top. I was preparing to spend a weekend going around to different local stores to see what was available. A friend mentioned Ghostbed which I had previously not heard of. I had heard of the whole "bed in a box" concept but hadn't really looked into it. Ghostbed seemed to get the best reviews in most youtube comparisons and with the sleep trial period I figured I had nothing to lose. I've now had it for about three weeks. I put it on a metal platform bed. I also purchased the protector. The bed deployed itself fairly quickly. It seemed to reach its advertised height within a half an hour. One thing I noticed right away was that my existing pillows didn't feel right for the mattress. Probably just because they didn't sink into the new bed like they did on the old one. I picked up two new ones and later decided to order a Ghostpillow. You really need two weeks to get used to the bed. I'll say that I immediately noticed that I generally felt better in the morning than I had previously. Yes, the bed does feel initially firm but you do sink in all the right pressure points. I had recently started sleeping with a pillow between my knees because of some hip pain but that's gone away. I don't need the pillow anymore. My girlfriend likes the bed and since it doesn't transfer a lot of motion, I sleep better. Same thing goes for my beagle when he moves around the bed. It's a lot less obvious and for a light sleeper like me, that's great. Give it a try. You've got nothing to lose.
Awesome bed. Can lay in any position comfortably. Only gripe is, it does get a little hot when sleeping too close to your significant other. It's firm, but not a bad firm.
