GhostBed knows that sleeping hot is a common problem that plagues many sleepers every night, so they’ve dedicated an entire brand to making luxury mattresses that keep you cool as you snooze.
There are four total GhostBed Mattress models, and we’ve reviewed each in our mattress lab. To help you find the best mattress, we’ll let you know the ins and outs of each GhostBed mattress, who we think would love it, and a deep dive into the company itself.
Why trust us?
Our Mattress Advisor lab has tested over 100 mattresses, and that number grows every week. The GhostBed line is no exception. We take about 6-10 hours to test, synthesize, record, and publish our in-depth review of each mattress, exploring features that matter like setup, alignment, customer service, durability, and more. That’s over 1,000 spent giving you the information you need for the mattress you want.
They don’t call us sleep experts for nothing!

GhostBed’s three models include the original GhostBed, the GhostBed Luxe, the GhostBed Flex, and the GhostBed 3D Matrix Hybrid. Want to compare? Look over the highlights and specs of each mattress in our side-by-side comparison chart, then keep scrolling for a full review of each.
The original GhostBed offers the cooling and responsive properties of latex foam for half the price. This GhostBed keeps up with you as you move throughout the night, constantly adjusting and responding to each position.
The GhostBed Luxe takes it up a notch on the cooling front, scoring a 9 out of 10 in our mattress lab test. On top of that, it offers nearly perfect spinal alignment and responsiveness, making it a great choice for every sleep position.
Perfect for people who sleep with a partner, the GhostBed Flex is not only cool, but is great for motion isolation. This model is also available in a split king, further keeping the distance between you and your bedfellow while relieving pressure points.
GhostBed’s latest model features new 3D technology, including a cooling gel polymer comfort layer and a stretchy 3D Matrix layer that stretches and moves to fit all body types. This Matrix layer allows the 3D to be the coolest GhostBed yet thanks to its body heat regulation for both partners.

You’re probably wondering why these mattresses are called “GhostBeds.” Well, the founder, Marc Werner, used to be afraid of ghosts hiding under his bed, hence the name. But in 2001, he got tired of painful sleep after three neck surgeries and decided to create his own mattress.
GhostBed is of the parent company, Nature’s Sleep, and is made in the USA sold direct-to-customer, allowing them to keep their price points low. Their mission is “to produce and deliver the highest possible quality for a bigger, better and more affordable mattress,” and today they still meet it.

Wondering how the GhostBed stacks up to other mattress companies on your radar? Take a look at some of our comparison reviews to find out:
GhostBeds are available for purchase on GhostBed’s website. Select models can be purchased through Amazon.
Your 101-day trial starts the day your mattress is delivered. From then, you have 101 nights to sleep on it and decide if the mattress is right for you. If you would like to return the mattress, contact the GhostBed customer support team within your trial period window, and they will walk you through the process. Please allow at least a 30 night break-in period before initiating a return. A representative will arrange for your mattress to be picked up donated to a local charity.
Nope! You should never flip the GhostBed because the comfort layers are on the top side. To increase the lifespan of your GhostBed, rotate the mattress 180 degree or head-to-toe every 6 months.
