I ended up buying the mattress, boxspring, mattress protector, and i got the pillows with the mattress. When everything finally arrived I was able to set everything up and sleep on the bed. After about 2 weeks of getting used to the change from a standard spring mattress to this I love the bed now. My 5 stars are for the bed and comfort that is received.
What I am not judging the star level to is the box spring. I opened the boxspring box and started putting it together and for Made in America, this is terrible quality. There is even a letter from the CEO to let me know that the wood may be splintered or of bad quality but no matter what the box spring will hold up the bed. The holes for the screws were not even in line for where it had to go. I ended up having to drill holes just to be sure that I could screw the wood down. When I look at other box springs there is more support underneathe to prevent the box from any damage or shifting. When I put this together half the boards were warped (I know that wood does this and is hard to prevent). All in all the boxspring to me does not have Made in America quality.
When I opened the mattress to watch it expand it was slow, I gave it 24 hours and noticed that the bottom of the mattress was solid like a rock and wasnt moving at all. I thought maybe it needed heat to make it expand better. Before putting the mattress near a space heater I ended up unzipping the top layer of the mattress and found the problem. When the mattress was inserted into its cover some sort of fabric glue was applied to seal off the end. This somehow managed to attach it self to the mattress while it was being rolled and compressed. The under lining also had holes in it at the bottom that we had to sew up.
Again my 5 star review is strictly for the comfort of the mattress and how well I sleep. As for how the mattress is packaged and the boxspring is of not what I consider to be Made in America quality at all the review for that would be a much lower star.
My wife and I finally upgraded our bed and decided on the GhostBed due to the great reviews and low cost. We couldn't be happier. I'm a big guy and the bed supports me perfectly. My only complaint is that now I have to set an alarm on weekends because otherwise, I can sleep for 14 hours... it happened. I'm not proud of it.
We are still in our trial, but so far it's been a great bed. Doesn't sleep too hot, firm where we need it, soft in the other places. The only thing I can say before you make a final decision is that it does take time to get it broken in. We are just getting there now, 2 months in. I'd recommend this bed to others.
This bed is so comfortable that I have been having a hard time getting out of bed in the morning! But this is a good review :) The bed was easy to put together (with 2 people) and was put together quickly. The wood foundation is sturdy and does not creek, and the mattress is firm but molds to your weight. I am very happy with my ghost bed!
We have two Ghostbeds now and I love mine and our guests all rave about how well they sleep on our guest bedroom Ghostbed. We also have two Ghostpillows and my husband, a Combat Vet, is getting really good sleep again thanks to our bed and his pillow. I no longer wake up with neck pain thanks to my pillow and my bed makes it hard to have to get up in the morning!
