I purchased the queen size GhostBed with the mattress cover and GhostPillows. I got this mattress to replace an old pillow-top, so the difference was so stark it's hard to say it was merely an "improvement". I already knew I wanted more support (the GhostBed has a nice moderate firmness) and movement isolation (I can now get in and out of bed without shaking my girlfriend awake). The new mattress is supported by the old box spring, which I think takes away some of the GhostBed's support and stability. I'll probably try it on a platform at some point, and see how things improve. For now, however, the GhostBed is providing a much-improved sleep. And the GhostPillows are incredibly comfortable and supportive, though with a distinct mild chemical odor. That doesn't really bother me though, and should dissipate with time. Other mail-order mattresses I had considered included the Casper (tried in-store) and Purple, but after a lot of research I went with GhostBed and I'm pleased with the product(s).
We love our Ghostbed and the pillows! My husband's back isn't hurting anymore, and we sleep so soundly now. We considered a lot of different mattresses when we were looking to buy - we made the right choice, without a doubt.
My GhostBed is something that has been a life changer. I get more R.E.M. Sleep than I have had before, along with waking up daily with no back pain. Highly recommend
So far I am happy with the mattress. We went ahead and tried the mattress because I was having bad back pain in the morning (230lbs Side Sleeper). I haven't had any pain since. My wife on the other hand who had no complaints with the old mattress is now complaining about back pain. You can't win them all. I prefer the harder mattress when she needs a cloud. Not sure what the outcome is going to be for us, but If you are a side sleeper I do recommend it.
Overall my wife and I are happy with the purchase. The mattress is a huge upgrade from our old spring coil. Only a few minor complaints. She finds that the bed absorbs slightly more heat than what she would prefer. I have found the bed to have to bit more sinkage than I would like. Would consider purchasing again.
Everything went very smoothly. The ordering process, shipping, and opening everything up. My only complaint is that the pillows and mattress have a very strange smell when first opened. Just needed a day or two to air out and then we were good to go!
