Still deciding

I have used my bed for one week now, it is comfortable for sleeping, but my sciatic pain has not diminished completely. Pillow is comfortable but not designed for staying up and reading in bed. I will certainly continue with my evaluation of the bed.
Any bed I've slept on in the past results in me tossing and turning all night with back pain... my ghost pillows arrived first and I was already sleeping better. Then the bed arrived and holy cow! I sleep the whole night through and wake up with zero back pain. The bed is a little on the firm side from what I'm used to but it honestly didn't even take getting used to. I adjusted just fine the first night. Love this bed and will be recommending it to everyone!
I ordered the bed on a Thursday and received it on Saturday. I gave it some time before reviewing because I read there was a time for adjusting to the bed. This lasted maybe a week or two. I love this bed. So comfortable and no more back issues. So glad I decided to try it out.
I have been sleeping on the bed for the past couple of weeks and it is very nice. My fiancée loves it too. For the first time, she is able to go straight to sleep and feel rested in the morning. The King size is very spacious and a big upgrade over my twin XL.
Let me say this first : I had a perfect night's sleep on my new GhostBed right out of the box. No weird "I'm at a hotel" feeling, no adjustment period, nothing. True, I was coming off sleeping on a 20 year old coil mattress that was beyond dead and had been experiencing uncomfortable sleep and a sore, aching body for the past few years. I used to dread bedtime every night. In fact. many nights I didn't sleep at all and woke up feeling worse than I did before I went to bed.
No more. My new GhostBed is like a dream come true.
I did a lot of research online before I chose this mattress. My own personal preference is for a very firm feel (I'm someone who prefers a floating feeling from my mattress and does not like to feel held in place like memory foam can do) yet I wanted the correct support for my body and a relief from pressure points. I also wanted a mattress that was cool to sleep on and had little transfer of movement.
Review after review pointed me in the direction of the GhostBed. And as an amateur paranormal investigator, how I could I ignore the brand name?
I was a bit apprehensive that the GhostBed might be too 'soft' of a feel for me, but decided to give it a try, knowing that if I was not happy, I could return it. Just knowing there was a 101 Day Sleep Trial was a big plus.
Turns out, the GhostBed is the most comfortable mattress I have ever slept on. When you first lie down it may feel a bit firm, but as you settle in, the mattress settles in with you and offers a gentle bit of a hug. I discovered that I slept better with a mattress that conforms a bit to my body.
So far I have not noticed any heat build-up and motion-transfer is negligible.
The only drawback, in my opinion, is that the sides of the mattress are not supportive or firm. So if you like to sit on the edge of your bed and put on your shoes and socks, you will sink right off the side.
But who can complain when you are so comfortable at night you're sleeping like a babe? The GhostBed is as near perfect as a mattress can be.
This bed is perfection, we have the king size and wonder how we have slept without a ghostbed and Ghostbed pillow for 25 years! no transferred movement and I do not wake up with headaches anymore! A+++
