I was in need of a new mattress and like most people was flooded with advertisements from all the "bed in a box" companies. I assumed they were all the same, and not all that good. After all, if they were any good why couldn't you run down to the local mattress store and try one out like my parents and grandparents did. A friend swore by his; so I did a couple weeks research on the various brands and GhostBed seemed to have all the right answers to meet my needs so I pulled the trigger. A couple days later I get the bed at 10am, unpack it, open the windows as I was worried about the smell. (which was very minimal for the mattress However for some reason the pillows were much worse taking over a full day to air out) At 10 pm I went to sleep and my life changed for the better. I now get far better quality sleep, wake up ready to do something besides hit the snooze alarm. I spend more time doing life and less time in bed. I will no doubt be singing the praises of GhostBed for years to come.
On the first morning after sleeping on this bed and making pain noises my wife asks me "honey do you need pain killers?" I have woke up with mid back pain every morning. I need to return this bed asap!
I have fibromyalgia and just about everything causes my pain to flare up. But I've read other reviews online recommending the Ghost mattress for my illness because it's medium firm, meaning anything too soft will not support your spine and anything too hard will cause you more pain. After the first night sleeping on my new GhostBed, I was absolutely shocked how well I slept! All of my joints and muscles felt like they were being hugged and perfectly supported without causing me pain. I realized the longer you lay on it, the more comfortable and cozy you get. My family have all tested the mattress and had the same reaction as I did. Now they all want to get the GhostBed too.
I've had my ghost bed for roughly 2 months and I can honestly say it's pretty perfect for the most part. It's what I consider to be a firm mattress and it sleeps hot so keep that in mind when buying. It gives support where I need it and I like it so much I've recommended it to my friends and family.
I will admit I was a little hesitant to buy a bed I've never laid on before, but since we were in the process of a move and I wanted a new mattress I decided to ship it to the new place and hope for the best. The box was very easy to put together...make sure you have an electronic screwdriver to save time. The mattress is AMAZING!!! I am so pleased with it I have told several people about how quick the shipping was and how great I sleep at night. No more back pain when I wake up was worth every penny.
It is a little softer than I expected but we do like it! It seems to hold and support pretty well too as my husband is about 6 ft 4 and almost 300 lbs.
This is a great memory foam mattress. Seems to be built better than the cheapos. It is firm but comfortable. Price is a little high, but for the warranty I think it is worth it if it holds up.
