We have had a double bladder baffled soft side waterbed for 20 years. When we decided to replace it after much studying, we chose the Ghostbed. Our transition has worked out very nice. I went from not sleeping much to, I want my bed. I would say the bed is medium on the firmness scale. It isn't too hard and not so soft you feel like you are being grabbed in your sleep or you have to lift yourself to turn over. The edges do not collapse too much if you sit on them. You will not "bottom out" if you run and jump on it, I have tried. You won't sweat at night like some memory foam mattresses tend to do. I recommend a nice mattress cover just for peace of mind. You want to keep it looking pretty. I love my Ghostbed and can't wait to sleep on it.
I have not slept right since I joined the Marine Corps. This bed puts me to sleep faster than any other bed i’ve been in. I stay asleep far longer as well. I cannot speak to any like mattresses but this one is is all they say it is.
We traded in our super-plush, pillow-top bed that had my body outline totally visible and difficult to escape. It was giving both me and my wife bad back pain. Night #1 on the Ghostbed was firm compared to what we were used to, but we woke up refreshed and no back pain! We're about 30 days in and both my wife and I are getting great sleep again! It is on the firmer side, but it is still comfortable. The pillows are great!!!
I changed from a spring mattress to a ghost bed, and I'm not looking back. One interesting, and unexpected, benefit: earlier, I had to get a night guard since I was clenching/grinding my teeth at night--i assumed it was stress. Turns out changing out my mattress made a big difference. The ghost bed is so comfortable! I love it!
We purchased this bed about a month ago for our son who had a 10+ year old hand me down matress and so far he loves it. Seems to fall sleep a lot quicker then he did before and also seems to wake up a lot more rested.
