Fibromyalgia and my ghost bed!

Ok want to start out with how easy and quick this process was. Seriously easy and way faster then expected. We ordered everything. Foundation Mattress pillows and mattress protector. Kind of funny but everything came on different days.. One day right after the other. The mattress was really really heavy and takes 2 people to move. The foundation u have to put together and it is one piece even for a king. Not the 2 XL twins like traditional foundations. So put it together in the room u are using bed in unless u have room to move it from one part of house to another. It was a bit of a process but not to hard to put together. But U have to use a hammer and nail every slat into the bigger boards. Then u slip the cover over it. Not as pretty as an already built foundation but looks ok. The boards were crappy but once all put together it is very solid. The pillows I love. Plus a Bonus is I got those 3 pillows for free when I entered the coupon code that was avaible at that time. Ok so now on to the mattress review. I have fibromyalgia and the Mattress is to hard for me. I ordered the one that says it is firmer but the recommend perfect between soft and firm for the perfect night sleep. Not so much perfect for fibromyalgia. Really wish I would have ordered the softer one. My husband really loves the mattress. He sleeps all night and even thru his alarm. Luckily for him I am not resting well and I can wake him up. I have not decide if I am going to try to go thru the process of switching mattresses to the softer one. Seems mean to take the bed from my hubby that he sleeps so well on. Really wish I just had the money to buy a 2nd one.. the softer one. I would put this one at lake place and the softer here. So we could both sleep well at some point in week. We are at lake pretty much every weekend. If I decide to trade out for softer bed I will update review to let y'all know how that goes. Good luck. This bed I think will be prefect if u get the right firmness for u.
We have had our bed for about 2 monthsquads now. I noticed an immediate change in back pain in the morning. The bed is pretty solid so I had to jump on it a few times but is very comfortable. We also purchased the ghost pillows. They are very comfortable as well. My biggest negative is that as a side sleeper the bed is too firm and does not give much on the shoulders. The pillows prop your head up but it leaves your neck in an odd angle. I have tried using my ergonomic pillow but again my shoulders do not sink into the bed enough for my neck to be supported.
Now if they would take their current pillow and make an ergonomic shape with the same thickness I think the purchase would be perfect.
I bought the Mattress Protector Cover to protect my New GhostBed from environmental damage. I have to say I am not a fan of bed covers but this protector feels like it is part of the bed and the protection is outstanding! I recommend anyone who is looking to protect their mattress to look no further.
I first heard of Ghost Bed when you all became a sponsor for Drinkin Bros podcast. Then I started to do some research on my own. With my research and with how the guys from Drinkin Bros ranted and raved about your products we decided to give it a go. And we love it! Along with the pillows, the bed is awesome. I can't speak for my wife, but I have been getting some really good sleep over the past month. Thanks for this amazing product!!!
