These guys make it SO easy to buy, receive, and set up the mattress. It was a breeze, and even the packaging was easy to get rid of.
I've been sleeping on the GhostBed for about a month now, and I am pretty sure I don't move in my sleep at all. Haven't figured out a way to test for it yet (stay tuned), but I am having lots of dreams now and I feel like even nights I only get 5 hours are productive.
I will say, however, that I get too warm on this bed. I know the majority of people do not, but for some reason, there are many nights I wake up warm (comparable PJs and everything). This wasn't an issue for me on my old spring mattress, so I know it's new to this bed.
We bought this mattress about a month ago, after looking at a lot of various review sites and assessing different mattresses (we'd also tried out a tempur-pedic in a furniture store at one point). We decided on GhostBed due to a few factors - value for the price, warranty, trial period, and firmness of the mattress. While this isn't the cheapest mattress out there, I felt it was the best overall value. The 20 year warranty is excellent. Be aware that after 10 years you have to pay a percentage of the cost of a new mattress, which increases each year up to year 20, but that's still a whole lot better than just having to buy a new mattress outright after year 10. I also wanted the long trial period, since these mattresses can take awhile to fully break in. And the firmness was important, since the firmest it'll ever be is when it's brand new. I wanted to start off on the firmer side and let it soften up, rather than start off perfect and have it end up too soft.
All that being said, we love this mattress. The first couple nights were a little sore, but after that it was great. When I first opened the shrink wrap there was a slight smell, but only noticeable if I put my nose right on the mattress. Once I got sheets on it, we haven't noticed any odor. The mattress is comfortable in just about any position, and it's neither too bouncy nor too soft.
I've got no complaints or regrets about buying this mattress, and someday when we have the cash to replace our old (and very infrequently used) guest room mattress I'm going to want another GhostBed.
I am not totally satisfied. The first week my muscles hurt but I thought maybe it was because my previous mattress was uncomfortable and had made my back out of wack and this ghost bed was putting it back inline. But I have slept on it over a month now and I don't wake up refreshed like I have slept like a baby and my back is better but not like I thought it would be. My boyfriends back hurts really bad when he wakes up. Any suggestions?
Awsome mattress! All I can say is you cannot go wrong... with my order I received 3 free ghost pillows which are just as great as the mattress! Shipping was literally faster than the tracking information, keep in mind mattress ships from Austin Texas and I live in Houston Texas.
The mattress seems too soft at first, but then supports me just right. I like it more than I thought it would, and the ghost pillow are fantastic. I just had to wait a week to let them air out, but they are worth it.
We absolutely love our GhostBed! Regardless of how cheesy "My favorite hello and my hardest goodbye" is, it's true! It's so hard to get up in the morning when you're so comfortable! Buying a mattress is a big investment, but the GhostBed is totally worth it. With a 20 year warranty we know that we will be sleeping well for years to come.
