Too firm for me

I have slept on the bed for a few weeks and I like a supportive mattress but I am disappointed in how firm it is. I find that my shoulders can't sink enough into the mattress and I wake up with a sore neck. I have also experienced lower back pain in certain sleeping positions. I originally slept with the ghost pillow and hoped when switching pillows it would cure my problems but it has not. I'm debating returning it or adding a layer to the top. I tried returning it after a week and they turned me down. I was not aware that it required a 30 day trial before they allow a return. I may not have purchased the bed if I knew about the fine print. My wife seems to be plenty happy on the bed but for someone with broad shoulders or lower back problems you may find it to be too stiff and unable to conform to your body type.
So far I've been really enjoying my Ghostbed mattress. I do still occasionally wake up sore, but I'm gonna try it out for my 100 nights and see if it's just my body adjusting to a new mattress. The shipping and payment were both fast and easy, and the customer support was there to answer all my questions.
So we had a pillowtop mattress that cost an arm and a leg for over 10 years. Because of the enormous price tag, we were reluctant to part with it even though we were sleeping horribly. I researched endlessly. I'm a side/stomach sleeper and my husband is a back sleeper and some of the other foam mattresses on the market had reviews that were higher for one and lower for the other. I was finally convinced to go with the ghost bed after seeing it got higher marks in all areas. We ordered and I told my husband we only had a few more nights and sleeping on the couch ahead of us.
First off, I was blown away by the speed of shipping. We ordered it on a Sunday and had it by the Tuesday. I was floored. I set it up right away and anticipated a transition period of not sleeping too great while we got used to it. We climbed into bed on night one and I woke up 8 hours later and I don't think I moved a fraction!!!! I have NEVER slept so hard! Fast forward several weeks and the trend continues. We are hooked. So glad we tossed the super expensive (although old) pillowtop and went ghost. Best decision we have ever made.
I wanted to upgrade our bed as my little lady was 3 months pregnant and was beginning to have back pains and trouble sleeping. She thought it was normal aches and pains, but I'd been having problems on our old mattress for a while too.
Our Cal-King arrived so fast that the bed frame I ordered the same day didn't arrive for another week, so for a week we simply used our Ghost Pillows, which alone took care of a lot of pressure in our shoulders/necks.
Our first night on the full mattress, we both noticed a huge difference, my hip and lower back pain was gone, and the second night she slept through the entire night, which hadn't happened for as long as I can remember.
easy enough set up for one woman to accomplish. watching the set up video on youtube helped a lot! bed sleeps sort of hot, but maybe it's our sheets. the ghost pillow is amazing!
We did research and decided to try the ghost bed. Boy did we choose the right bed. Easy to unpack and set up.one piece was damaged during shipping, wr contacted ghost bed and they sent a replacement. The bed is comfortable and we are sleeping great. No pain and nothing to complain about. Great choice all around.
