My girlfriend and I would like to give this mattress a 5 out of 5 review, however, the mattress is smaller in the length and width than advertised. It currently is smaller by roughly 1-2 inches in both width and length and has a smaller footprint than the foundation below it. This not only looks weird but creates an odd situation where you find yourself hitting your legs against the foundation because it jukes out below the mattress.
Ok, I'll try to keep this concise: im a cautious shopper and am very intentional when I buy big things like beds. I took a big chance buying a bed I hadn't felt yet, so I relied mostly on the reviews. I appreciated when people shared their height and weight and how firm the bed was still. Im 5'4", 135 lbs and am very picky about firm beds. Its the first thing I test in a hotel to prepare myself if in going to sleep well or not! I got my Ghost bed and first, the box was HEAVY. In a single woman who has learned to be creative about getting things accomplished bc of my size, but I do suggest 2 people. I did not get a box spring btw..I have a platform bed. I finally dragged it to my room and while I still had my old mattress, i opened the ghosted and let it "inflate" on top of my old mattress bc it said a flat surface and I didn't know if the slats were going to be ok. I opened it in the morning and by the time I got home from work, it was all set. I was able to slide it off of my old mactress, take out the old and put the ghosted back. Mind you, the whole day I was anxious about how it would feel. I sat on it after I got it back in place and it felt a little soft. I was disappointed. I had no choice but to sleep on it and figure how to return it later. Well....i slept on it. It was perfect. I couldn't believe it and I couldn't be happier. I've had it for 2 months now and it is the perfect firmness. Doesn't get hot..that was my other hesitation of getting a foam mattress. My girlfriend liless beds that are softer and she gets really hot naturally when she sleeps, so I thought for sure she wouldn't like it...we are totally opposite when it comes to sleeping. But she thought it was very comfortable and didn't get hot. It is not soft, it is supportive. Im very glad I took the chance and hapay with my purchase.
Spoke to a customer service rep before I purchased and they made it very comfortable and easy to sleep at night with my purchase decision. Unfortunately the bed is a bit firmer than I anticipated, and although I really want to love this bed, I feel like I may need to look for a softer version.
We ordered a calking and it came in quick time. I lugged the giant roll of a bed upstairs and opened it up. Slept on it within 30 min of opening and had no issues. After I came home from work the next day it was fully opened up, and was a nice experience to have bought a vacuum sealed bed.
If you have any qualms about purchasing the bed, I would say just do it and give it a go, but buyers beware, if you're looking for plush ultra down fluff ball, this is not the direction to go, but if you like firm-med firm, this is an awesome choice.
I'm going to give it the benefit of the doubt and see how the next 30 days treat me ! Thanks ghost bed team!
The ghost bed is not only super comfortable but it keeps me very cool through the night. I never want to leave bed anymore, it's my favorite place to be.
Came quickly, easy to unpackage, very little odor, sleeps on the firm side (which I like), and is cool in the night (which I also like). A great no-nonsense mattress at an excellent price. Financing was also very easy.
