I have no problem falling asleep, although my boyfriend does. we both love this mattress as it satisfies both of our needs. it is a bit firmer, but we also added a mattress topper and now it is perfect for us. The pillows are the BEST!!
I really wanted to love this mattress. Unfortunately, this is not the best product for a side sleeper like me. I read another side sleeper comment before I made my purchase, but thought it might be different for me. With this mattress I need to fall asleep on my back which is fine, but I always wake up on my side and then have lower back pain for about an hour after I wake up :(. The Ghostbed is a bit to firm on top and doesn't give enough to form to the side of my body – just keeps my body too straight to stay asleep on my side. Bummer.
After sleeping on our new GhostBed for 2 weeks now I couldn't be happier. I am getting better sleep and no longer wake up with sore joints in the morning. The GhostPillows are wonderful as well!
The Ghost Bed does everything it promised it would. I guess I just expected more. The smell didn't bother me when letting it air out. It retains its shape and bounces back. I love the soft, cottony external layer. I like my mattresses quite soft, though, and this mattress was somewhat firmer than I expected.
We recently switched from the Purple to GhostBed and I'm so glad we did. While the Purple was very soft and comfortable at times, we found that it bottomed out way too easily for us and that we weren't getting the best sleep we could be getting. The GhostBed has been so wonderful to us and we haven't even been using it half as long as we tried the Purple. It's soft, yet firm, in the best ways. And no bottoming out, even when we're sitting on the very edge to put our shoes on. It's also very easy to move as it keeps its mattress shape when stood on its side. That may seem silly because well, it's a mattress, but we had the worst time getting the Purple off our bed frame and stood against the wall because it was so heavy and wanted to flop and fold up on us. We had to use furniture to keep it propped up against the wall until it was picked up. So if you plan on moving your mattress around for any reason, the GhostBed is very easy to do that with. We also purchased two GhostPillows and they're now my favorite pillows to sleep on. My old pillow got too hot for me at night but this one has stayed nice and cool for me so far. And just like the bed, the GhostPillows are soft, yet form, in the best ways. Overall, we are extremely happy with our purchase and definitely recommend both the GhostBed and GhostPillow!
