I love this bed! I barely move at night because I'm so comfortable. I usually toss and turn, but not on this mattress. It's really very unbelievable to me.
My husband and I really wanted to like this mattress as it seemed to have high ratings by so many other people. Unfortunately, there are a number of issues that make it uncomfortable and just plain unsuitable for us.
First, it's hot. We live in Texas, and it's summer of course. But we sleep with cotton sheets, a ceiling fan and air conditioning set at 72 degrees and are still hot. Uncomfortably hot. Second, the edges of the mattress are soft. Neither of us likes the "sinking" feeling when trying to sit on the edge of the bed. As the mattress responds to your body heat, you sink in, further adding to the heat factor. Third, for us, the dense foam doesn't have the spring we're used to having. For some people, that might be a plus; not so for us. Fourth, it's not comfortable for us. We've had it almost two months now and haven't had a good night of sleep yet.
Finally, the 101-night sleep guarantee is misleading. If you register your bed and try to return it within the 101 nights, it's not easy to return at all. Your customer care representative will try everything they can not to have to take this thing off your hands. I'm not interested in spending more to keep something I don't like already. It's bad enough that the box spring is NOT covered with the sleep guarantee, so we're just stuck eating the cost of the foundation; but we DID expect them to honor their commitment to refund our money if we didn't like it.
If you know already that you're a fan of memory foam or even foam mattresses in general, maybe you'll like this mattress. But if you're unsure and think you'll just give it a try because of the guarantee or because of the other reviews, I urge you to proceed with caution. It's not a cheap gamble for your wallet or your back.
Great bed for the money, super comfortable. Doesn't hurt my pressure points (hip etc) when laying on my side for prolonged periods of time like other mattresses have. Happy with it.
How can you love the pillows and want 2 more but fusturated how the mattress is too hard. We had to buy a fluffy pad for it and it is better. I do like the size, more like s regular mattress
I bought my GhostBed about one month ago. So far, so good! It came really quickly, was delivered in a surprisingly small package, and was easy enough for me to open and set up by myself. We let it sit for a day before using (as suggested) and it has not disappointed. I sleep soundly, it's cooler than our last mattress, and my husband and I do not disturb each other getting in and out of bed. I'm giving 4 stars because I do still wake up with minor aches and pains, but that could be because moving and renovating is hard work! I'm sure that will decrease given time. I would definitely recommend a GhostBed to anyone in the market.
We were so impressed with our first mattress (queen) after a year, we bought a second one (full) for our guest room. I'd buy another one if I had an extra bedroom. :-)
It's a little on the firm side, which is good if you're like me and love a firm bed. The queen size is perfect for just me and my laptop laying side by side.
