VERY HAPPY SO FAR WITH OUR KING GHOSTBED AND BASE. ALSO GOT THE PROTECTOR COVER BUT WAS A LITTLE DISAPOINTED IN THE PRICE OF IT FOR WHAT YOU GET. MAYBE COULD HAVE BOUGHT A BETTER PROTECTOR FOR LESS MONEY? FOUNDATION WAS EASY TO PUT TOGETHER AND SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT WHEN BUYING. HONESTLY, GHOSTBED IS A LITTLE MORE FIRM THAN I WAS EXPECTING BUT ONLY HAD OURS 2 OR 3 WEEKS AND SLEEPING GREAT SO FAR. THANKS GHOSTBED
I've had 3 spine surgeries and 3 shoulder surgeries, and the Sleep Number bed I had was killing me!! I got the Ghostbed, and it took my body a couple of weeks to adjust to it! We've had it 4 weeks now, but on the 2nd week of sleeping on it I was in no more pain! We both are sleeping through the night. Ghostbed, you're a God send!!
First of all, let me say I love my Ghost Bed and it has significantly reduced my back and hip pain that I used to get from my other mattress at night. But the transition was not as seamless as I thought it would be. Having slept on a memory foam pillow for decades, I thought transitioning to a Ghost Bed would be easy peasy. Memory foam pillows cured my intense neck pain, and I know what they are like: weirdly hard/firm, but somehow contouring, and they can sleep hot, plus there is no "bounce" or pillowy feel to them. I know all that, and was sleeping on a Sealy mattress that was causing me pain. I had to take a 12-hour pain reliever before bed to sleep more than 5 hours a night without waking up in pain. Yet when I git my Ghost Bed it felt so weird -it freaked me out. I am 5' 10" and I am heavy. Went I sat on the mattress, I felt like it was creating this big bowl and I was at the bottom. I thought, "Oh my god, I am too heavy for this mattress and it is clearly way too soft for me!" Yet laying on it I fwlt suppoemrted and good. But when I was laying on it, it would feel unyielding...I worred it was too hard! The first week my back muscles were sore...like they were being streched out (which they were), and that made me nervous. But for the 1st time in years, I cpuld sleep on my back necasue the mattress cradled and supported me so well. Ibwas feeling great, and sleepi g really well after 3 weeks...but the weirdness of the Ghost Bed, compared to a tradational mattress, still freaked me out. Then vame the nigjt I slept away from home on a regular mattress again. It felt terrible! It litterally felt like the tension and springs were trying to push me up, and offn the bed. Contact points were painful and I missed the feel of my bed cradling and supporting my body and pressure points. I am a total convert and never going back.
I've been sleeping really soundly on my Ghost, bed. It is firm to me but it's not too firm that I don't toss and turn. There is good support for my back. All and all, so far I love this bed.
The transaction went smooth and it was fun to set up. But this type of bed was definitely not what I was used to. I gave it more and more time (past 100 days) and yet I still never felt comfortable and it gets really HOT. I think I might have to shop for a more softer mattress. Sorry to leave a low review but I cant help but feel like my sleep has gotten worse since using this bed. I really wanted to like it but I am realizing this type of bed isn't meant for everyone.
It took a couple of days to adjust, but it has been a perfect mattress. My husband has a bad shoulder and was snoring horribly. He hasn't complained about his shoulder and has almost completely quit snoring. One of the best investments we have made.
