I was surprised how much firmer the Ghostbed felt after we set up the foundation. Apparently our old school wire style box spring wasn't nearly as supportive as this wooden slat style.
This boxspring does seem sturdy and does not creak at all. However it was not as easy as the website made it seem to assemble. The website says assembly in less than 15 minutes, but it took my husband and I well more than that, and we are both very handy. It is made of wood and many of the pieces were warped so that one of us had to really hold down one side so that the other could screw it in. The fabric that holds the slats together ripped while assembling because of how much we had to pull and hold down the slats. Some of the wood pieces had gouges in them. This doesn't seem to affect the structural integrity, but for the cost of the boxspring, we expected it the be better quality.
The pre-drilled holes were off mark and the boards were not really all the same length. Seemed like it was made for quantity not quality. Disappointed I spent so much money on something that was made half made.
I used to have really bad back pains before I purchased my Ghostbed, but since I've had nearly none! The purchase process was amazingly simple and the bed arrived quicker than expected!
This bed is amazing. It "inflated" almost instantly. It is medium/ firm and PERFECT for my boyfriend and I. I never feel him get up during the night or roll over.
I've never owned a bed without springs, so I wasn't sure what to expect. I will never go back to a conventional bed.
Shipping was much faster than estimated (4 days earlier!), and I was approved on 630 credit that needs work.
Love love love my ghostbed....and the pillows are amazing!!!!
