This was the bed my ex and I decided to purchase at the time and after a year and a half it was still the best bed I've ever slept on! So now I'm moving into my own place and what bed did I choose? Ghost bed.. can't go wrong with a mattress you fall in love with!
This bed is wonderful. I experienced a brightness in my body, evidence of a far deeper sleep than I was getting with my former bed. It’s firmer than I was used to, which a quality topper remedied for me. Bottom line—I have never slept so well.
I got my bed a month ago and it has not disappointed so far. I was able to bring the bed into the house myself, but I'm not super strong so it was a little difficult and I don't really recommend it. Still, I managed to do it myself. I am a large woman with lots of curves and a side sleeper. My neck is also very hard to keep happy. If my pillow combo isn't "just right" I wake up with migraines or can't sleep at all. Now I use just one pillow for the first time ever because my body sinks into the bed just enough to let my head be level without extra pillows. This was a huge improvement for me. I also feel like my hips are no longer taking the brunt of weight while laying on my side. Prior to getting the GhostBed I was waking up around 3-4AM for no particular reason and waking up with a lot of stiffness and often pain. I'm a picky sleeper and can't sleep in new beds well so it took about two weeks for me to start sleeping better but I started waking with less pain within a few days. I would describe myself as the eternal zombie... always tired no matter what time of day. Since getting the GhostBed I actually wake up easier than I used to. I still wake up in the early morning sometimes which I hate, but overall it has been an improvement from my Sleep Number bed. Because of my eternal zombie state I was hoping that it would change my life overnight, as some other reviews have said. It didn't do that but gradually I am sleeping and feeling better. Also, I used my old box springs instead of buying the Ghost base. That was a mistake as I can feel my side of the bed leaning slightly to the outside of the bed. I plan to get the new base soon.
I was skeptical initially about ordering a mattress online without ever trying it first but have been pleasantly surprised with the ghost bed. It is quite firm but still comfortable. It does take a couple weeks to get used to as I would expect any mattress to be. I would recommend.
