It was delivered fine and rolled out easily - very heavy! Not a strong smell, as I've heard can be an issue with some gel mattresses. We've had it for two months and so far it has been great. I wish I could say I feel like a different person - not that, but have slept comfortably and not had any issues with heat, which was another concern of this sort of mattress. I also very much like the pillow and the mattress pad we got as well.
Once we watched our king size Ghost Bed take shape we began to sleep on it and it was a great relief for me because we’d been sleeping on an old king died bed that was way too sift and unsupportive. I loved the flat, simple surface and the balance between firmness and softness. So for me it’s been delightful. But my wife found it way too firm and started sleeping in a guest room. So we contacted Ghostbed and the nice customer rep offered to give us a foam topper for the bed and that has solved our problem. So I can’t say enough for both the company and for the product they sell. It’s been a very positive experience. We also love the Ghost pillows.
I am a side sleeper with a cervical issue. Our mattress was 15 years old so I thoroughly researched mattresses and especially since Consumer Reports rated it very high, we decided to invest much more money than we ever had on a mattress to buy the Ghost Bed. We bought the complete set, foundation, queen size mattress, 2 pillows, and the mattress protector. Although a pain to put together, I did get the foundation built. The mattress was unboxed right on the bed which was a good thing because it is completely unwieldy. I CANNOT imagine why the designers did not put hand grips on either side or end. I believe it had to be a marketing thing to discourage returns because really, that thing is going to be really difficult to move. Now, I LOVE the sleep that I get on the mattress even though it's a tad firmer than expected, and especially that I don't feel any movement from my spouse who comes to bed much later than I do. However, despite Consumer Reports giving the mattress high scores for durability, we've already found the mattress pitting on both sleeping sides and we haven't even had it 30 days. That's extremely concerning and will drive whether we return it before the 60 day guarantee. This mattress is probably an excellent choice for the younger more fit crowd but not for the older (but wiser lol) less fit set.
After hearing all about ghost bed on the Drinkin bros podcast I decided to order one for myself after splitting with my gf. Needless to say I'm sleeping better than ever. All the support and comfort you could ask for, especially during sleepovers.
I got the California king Ghost Bed and I absolutely love my new bed. It's really comfortable and easy to sleep on, most nights. The only thing that I don't like is how long it takes for the bed to get broke in for the best comfort. With that said, some mornings I wake up a little stiff with an achy back.
