A very amazingly comfortable bed.

At first this seemed like a very hard bed, but remembering that the broken down spring mattress I had, our new mattress is just right, being just a little more then medium firmness. My wife and I sleep so much better then on our old mattress and we wake up more rested.
We have had our King Size Ghostbed and pillows for about 3 weeks now and completely love them. Both my wife and I have always woken up with sore backs and attributed that to our professions, until we started sleeping on our Ghostbed mattress. We both wake up pain free and feel completely rested. I am currently trying to convince my department to convert to Ghostbeds as we are looking to replace about 12 beds, that is how much I enjoy my restful sleep waking up without back pain.
I have personally enjoyed our GhostBed a lot. The combination of the pillows (although still with a manufacturer smell) and the bed has been quite awesome. My pregnant wife is still not sure. We have had the bed for about a month now and she has struggled with waking up in the middle of the night with her arm being asleep. We are still moving forward with our bed but are waiting on the final verdict.
After the first few weeks of breaking it in, I am a believer. This bed is awesome. So comfortable! I used to wake up with my arm asleep and that never happens anymore. Also there is no motion transfer. I can never feel my husband rolling around. I did a lot of research before going with Ghostbed and it's one of the least expensive mattresses out there, but it's still so comfortable! Also we love the GhostPillow!
I ordered the king size bed with the boxspring. Wax ring was super easy to put together by myself without a drill. The bed itself is amazing! Wish I had bought the bed sooner.
We recently upgraded from a Queen to a King and when I decided to go bed shopping I spent a month comparing various beds for our needs and wants. I was getting really bad lower-back and neck pains so I wanted to look in to the new foam beds I've been seeing all over the internet. Through the process, GhostBed was the one that met almost all of our needs and we decided to buy one. Upon receiving the bed, we instantly fell in love. It's so hard getting out of bed in the morning! Whenever we have spare time to lounge around the house - we end up laying in bed with our laptop, a book, or with our dogs. It's that amazing! There is a smell that comes with the bed initially but a few hours with the windows open and our air filter running the smell dissipated. We tell everyone we know about GhostBed and swear by it! Our sleep has never been better and my lower-back and neck pains are practically non-existent. It's a wonderful bed for a great price! You can't beat it.
Had an old, pillowtop mattress that I had purchased at a discount store. Over the years, the memory foam had depressions, so I bought a mattress topper and a mattress pad. Those worked pretty well, and the bed was pretty comfortable. This year, I moved, so I decided not to move the old mattress with me and selected the GhostBed Mattress King. It was delivered without issue. The box was quite heavy, and moving it to the bedroom, opening it, and setting the mattress up on my box springs was a bit challenging. After opening the plastic, the mattress opened quickly. The mattress is nice and attractive. It doesn't feel too firm. But, when lying on it, the mattress does not depress around me to provide support, as indicated in the advertisements. I feel like I am lying on top of the mattress with only points being supported. I am a side sleeper and a very large person (300 lb), so it's not an issue of not weighing enough. After about a week of sleeping on the mattress, it was not comfortable, and my back was achy. I don't normally have any back pain. After reading the instructions again, GhostBed suggests adding a mattress pad. So, I put my mattress pad on it, and I've been sleeping with it on for about a month now. It helps, but it's disappointing that the bed needs a mattress pad to make it more comfortable. I've finally added the mattress topper, along with the mattress pad, and the bed is finally comfortable enough to sleep soundly. I woke today with no back pain. All in all, I've spent a lot of money on a new mattress that doesn't work any better than my old, cheap mattress. I guess I was due for a new mattress, anyway. It's disappointing, and I've considered returning it and trying a different brand, but I'm not sure what brand would be any better.
It fully functions as intended. The issue for me is that I'm just not finding it terribly comfortable I'd return it but I can't afford to because I don't have anything else.
