What GhostBed customers have to say
GhostBed mattress reviews on comfort:
- “Ghost Bed was super simple to set up and it instantly grew to form. It’s super soft to touch and extremely comfortable. My sleep has improved and I wake up relaxed and pain-free. Love this bed! It’s boo-tastic!” – Audra W.
- “Could not be happier with the GhostBed mattress. My wife and I were skeptical about all the hype, but decided to take a shot based on the apparent value offered by GhostBed both in price point and the extent to which they stand behind their product. We bought the king size mattress, foundation, and 2 GhostPillows. This bed actually delivered. We both sleep more soundly, and sleeping on this bed has even helped alleviate some of the problems I have with my neck and back. One thing I can say is that the pillows are absolutely worth it. The bed was incredibly comfortable before the pillows arrived, but once we slept on it with the GhostPillows, it took on a whole new level of comfort. They just compliment each other perfectly. The foundation is very sturdy. You don’t see products very often anymore that are overbuilt like this is. Assembly was pretty simple and quick. We love our GhostBed and we can’t stop talking about it with our family and friends.”- Michael L.
GhostBed mattress reviews from customers with back pain:
- “We knew we needed a new mattress, did the homework, listened to our chiropractor and bought this one. Both of us are waking up without the aches and pains and sleeping more soundly. Quality and materials are first rate AND watching it come to life out of the box–very cool!” – Rebecca Z
- “Most comfortable mattress I have ever experienced. I have back issues, so this product is exactly what I needed. Just the right firmness yet still conforms to my body. I would recommend it to anyone.” – Lyn H.
- “I have to say, it has been the best investment I’ve made in the past year. I have slept on it for a couple of months now and it’s the best sleep I’ve had in a long time. No more back pain and it even helps give my shoulder (recently had surgery) support and relief.” – Rafael
BGhosted mattress reviews on sleep quality:
- “This bed was so easy to set up and has made so much of a difference in my sleep and how my body feels in the morning! I love my bed!” – Theresa H.
- “My first night sleep felt like I had somehow landed on a cloud. I slept through the night and have slept through every night since (Except the one where I had the bright idea to drink 3 cups of coffee before bed) its the perfect bed for a perfect night of sleep. I no longer dread going to sleep at night, instead I look forward to sleeping on my Ghost bed!” – Brian M.
- “After years of looking for the best mattress to rest my huge body… I finally get to rest, sleep and wake up happy and with no pains, I’m a heavy side sleeper and can recommend GhostBed with eyes closed.” – Ramon A.

GhostBed mattress FAQs
How does the 101-night trial work?
From the day that your GhostBed mattress is delivered, you will have 101 nights to decide if the mattress is right for you. If you decide to return the mattress, you’ll simply contact the GhostBed customer support team within your trial period window and they will walk you through the return process. A representative will arrange for your mattress to be picked up from your home and donated to a local charity in need. You won’t need to put the mattress back in the box it came in.
Does the Ghostbed mattress sleep hot?
The GhostBed is designed to provide a cool sleeping surface. Each cover is stitched with breathable moisture wicking micron fabric. The aerated latex layer is designed to promote airflow that specifically lets out warmer air and circulates cooler air in.
While temperature depends a lot on the type of sleeper you are and the sheets/comforter you use on top of your mattress, the technology used to make the GhostBed is designed to keep you cool while you sleep.
Does the Ghostbed mattress have a break-in period?
Your GhostBed may take a few hours to a full day for it to fully expand, breathe and adjust to your room’s temperature. While you can sleep on it almost immediately, it can take up to 30 days to fully break in your new mattress. During this time, your body will get used to the new mattress feel and the mattress will have time to fully take shape and provide all the benefits it was designed to offer.
Can I finance my Ghostbed mattress?
You can finance your GhostBed for as low as $67/month at 0% APR through Affirm. Simply select the “Prequalify Now” button at checkout and you will be guided through the financing process to see if you’re eligible.
Will I need to flip my Ghostbed mattress?
Nope! The GhostBed is meant to be used on one side only.
How much weight can the Ghostbed mattress support?
When placed on a strong foundation, the GhostBed mattress can support up to 750 lbs. For customers over 300 pounds, it’s recommended that you purchase the king-size GhostBed.
