Sleeping better.

I've been sleeping on a high rise air mattress (Coleman type) over three years. Why? I'm wheel chair bound and unable to transfer from chair to the sleigh bed that's about 8 inches higher than the wheel chair. Have tendonitis in both shoulders, so the height of the Ghost Bed is just right. And, quite comfortable. I researched beds and foundations before I bought a Ghost Bed, no regret.
I find this bed to be just a tad too firm for my liking, but that's a personal preference. And I think it's because I'm on the lighter side that I don't sink enough into it. My boyfriend LOVES it, perfect comfort level for him. Would absolutely recommend if you like foam mattresses on the firm end of the spectrum.
After years of sleeping on a spring bed we finally made the move to a ghost bed. I'm actually sleeping! I wake up and I'm not sore! Best purchase I've made in a long time.
Love! Order was incredibly easy and, just as promised on the website, I was contacted with shipping information/order tracking within the specified time frame. Since they are made and shipped within the United States, I placed my order on a Sunday evening and it was at my front door around noon time on Wednesday! The packaging was impressive as well; the mattress came in a large box, wrapped in quite a bit of plastic wrap (necessary to keep it rolled for packaging I'm sure), and then in a vacuum sealed plastic wrap. Once the wrap was removed, the mattress had assumed it's full shape within minutes- so make sure that you read the directions carefully and unwrap it close to where you intend to use it, it is a heavy mattress! Now finally on to the comfort of the mattress itself- amazing! I have some back issues and within 1-2 weeks of sleeping on my new ghost bed mattress I was no longer waking up with aches and pains. It seems to slowly conform/accept your weight without being overly soft/malleable or overly firm. We have had our mattress for close to 6 weeks and so far nothing but good things to say, I rave about it to all of my friends! The ghost pillows are extremely high quality pillows as well!
Ordering the mattress and frame online was incredibly easy and shipping details were sent the next day, as advertised.
Assembly of the boxspring foundation was (personally) fun as my wife and I tackled the project together in less than an hour.
Once the boxspring foundation was built, we removed the mattress from the box and let it take its first "breath" out of the plastic and it took shape immediately.
Sleeping on the GhostBed has been great the past few weeks - it is firm yet still provides enough cushion for an extremely comfortable rest.
I ordered the queen size mattress and got three of the pillows along with it and they're all great! The mattress was perfect for me as soon as we got it but my husband needed about a week and a half to adjust to it. It was a bit more firm than we were expecting but it is still a nice fit for us. The pillows I would recommend to anyone, even if they weren't buying another ghost product. They have just enough give to be flexible and comfortable but still give you support where needed. Great products!
