It took a couple of weeks to feel the difference and better sleep than our old old mattress. The pillows work better with the mattress and not so much on the couch. The mattress and pillows are made for each other
My husband really liked this bed, but he likes the firmer feel for a mattress. I, on the other hand, like to feel like I'm sleeping in the bed and not on it. This bed to me was as hard as a rock and I woke up stiff every morning. I also woke up sweating every night, but that it probably me, as I just sleep hot. My husband didn't have that problem. We ended putting our memory foam topper on the mattress, which made it more tolerable for me, but I wasn't looking for a bed we needed to add to to make it more comfortable for me. I was looking for something that I could sleep on without adding things to make it hotter. All in alll, if it were up to the hubby, he would have kept it, as he slept fine and said it was comfortable to him. But since there are two of us sharing the bed, we decided to look at other options. The return process so far has been simple, just waiting on the refund, so for that there's an extra star. If you like a firmer mattress, this is the one for you!
I bought a Temperpedic in the past because of my back problems. It seemed like it worked, but there was a long break-in process and once you do break it in, it feels like I'm sinking in it. This Ghost Bed mattress didn't require any of that. It's comfortable yet provides the support I need for my bad back. My wife loves it too compared to our old mattress. I'm very happy with it.
We have only been sleeping on the ghost bed for about 2 weeks. But I can already tell a difference. It stays cool throughout the night and is firm enough for my husband who had a back injury while serving our country. The only 'negative' I would say is side support. If you sit on the edge it is a little too squishy. But that is definitely not a deal breaker for me!!
