Do NOT buy this mattress!

The whole shopping process seemed easy-too easy. I ordered a queen mattress, the foundation, 2 ghost pillows, and a mattress cover. Everything came much quicker than expected, except for the mattress protector, which lagged about a week and a half behind everything else. The foundation was pretty easily constructed, especially if you read the instructions. The mattress was heavy, but my boyfriend and I got it wrangles onto the foundation pretty quickly. We used our old mattress pad since our GhostBed pad hadn't arrived yet :( I chose this bed because it didn't require special hundred-dollar "stretchy" sheets, like a competitor. We tested it out pretty immediately, it "inflated" pretty quickly. At first I thought I was going to like the GhostBed, especially compared to our old mattress which made us wake up with all sorts of aches and pains (we're only 40). My boyfriend and I are on the fluffy side, but that didn't seem to affect the comfort. That's all the good stuff. The major issue I have with the GhostBed is that I have been late to work TWICE now, because I was so comfortable I just didn't want to get up. There's been more days now than I can count where I've had to go to work with no makeup because I hit the snooze button a few too many times. Our German Shepherd loves it too! He used to get off our bed as soon as we turned the lights off, now he stays all night and I'm wishing we'd bought the King. (Note to GhostBed: you should really consider marketing some dog beds.) My GhostBed is WAY more comfortable than the expensive pillow top mattress my ex-husband got in the divorce, but don't buy this mattress if you already tend to run late in the mornings!
This bed was a heaven sent! I haven't slept this well in years! We got a king sized bed because our pricey tempurpedic was giving us that stuck feeling. We would sink in and get hot. We would wake up with aches and pains all over. Since receiving this bed NONE of these things have happened. The only negative is it's so comfortable I never want to get out! If you're a bigger person, don't worry bed is amazing. It even helped with my boyfriends snoring.
Bought the twin size for my daughter, she's the TRUE Princess & the Pea. I couldn't resist it, I took a nap and fell in love with it. She's very happy with it, but left for college - I'm so tempted to send one to her dorm.... don't hesitate to purchase - I usually do, but something told me to just try it (certainly the 100 day return helped! )
The ghost bed is a great value considering the materials that make up the bed at its price point. However, please note if you're heavy like myself (275 lbs) you will sink straight through the mattress and it will not support you. I even added a sheet of plywood, it helped a little, but it does not support me. I am going to be returning my ghost bed as soon as the 30 days is up. I am sure if you're lighter than I am it will work great but it does not hold up well for heavier people despite the rating being 700 lbs.
