GhostBed mattress construction and materials
The original GhostBed models are eleven inches thick, while the GhostBed Luxe and GhostBed Flex are thirteen inches. The GhostBed has 1.5 inches of aerated latex foam, two inches of gel memory foam, seven and a half inches of high-density foam, and a cover made of viscose and polyester. The GhostBed Luxe has a “Ghost Hug” topper to keep sleepers cool, an inch of gel memory foam, two layers of phase-change material, gel memory foam, a bounce layer and a thick base of high-density memory foam. The GhostBed Flex is a hybrid mattress with a cooling cover, several layers of memory foam and a layer of reinforced support coils.

GhostBed mattress comfort
GhostBed prides itself on providing one of the coolest sleeps around. Cooling materials used in all three mattresses help even hot sleepers feel cool during the night. The GhostBed and GhostBed Flex are a Medium Firm, or 6, on the traditional mattress firmness scale. The GhostBed Luxe is a 5 or Medium. The original GhostBed is notable for its conforming memory foam with some added responsiveness from latex. The Luxe has the highest conforming ability and is great for those with aches and pains. The Flex is the most cooling option.
- Firmness: The original GhostBed and GhostBed Flex are classified as Medium Firm. The GhostBed Luxe is Medium on the firmness scale.
- Sleeping position: The GhostBed Luxe is the most accommodating model. It sleeps most weights in any position. The GhostBed and GhostBed Flex sleep most weights and positions well, but lighter weights sleeping on their stomachs might not sleep as comfortably.
- Motion transfer: All three models from GhostBed do a great job absorbing motion on the mattress.
- Edge support: The GhostBed and GhostBed Luxe have good edge support, although you can still expect some sinkage when sitting on the edge of the bed. The GhostBed Flex, like other hybrid models, has very good edge support.
- Sleeping hot: The GhostBed Flex is the best choice for hot sleepers, but the GhostBed and GhostBed Luxe also allow for cool sleep.
GhostBed mattress prices
The GhostBed has a low cost when compared to mattresses with similar construction and materials. The GhostBed Luxe, as the name implies, is a bit pricier but offers some premium components that are worth the higher price tag. The GhostBed Flex is fairly priced when compared to other hybrid mattresses.
| Mattress size | GhostBed cost | GhostBed Luxe cost | GhostBed Flex cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Twin | $445 | $995 | $895 |
| Twin XL | $645 | $1,200 | $1,100 |
| Full | $720 | $1,320 | $1,225 |
| Queen | $895 | $1,375 | $1,285 |
| King | $1,075 | $1,685 | $1,585 |
| California King | $1,095 | $1,725 | $1,625 |
| Split King | $1,290 | $2,400 | $2,200 |
Are GhostBed mattresses good?
All three GhostBed mattress models are good. Each offers a cooling night sleep with a high level of comfort at a fair price. The GhostBed Luxe is a good choice for those with aches and pains. The Flex is a great hybrid choice and has the coolest sleep. The original model’s mix of memory foam and latex creates a comfortable sleep at an affordable price.

I really like the bed and I bought the hybrid mattress very comfortable! I would buy the protector, but not the sheets because they don’t fit!! I bought the sheets thinking they would fit because they made the mattress, but since I open them, they would not return them! I have a king and I also bought the pillows that I would not recommend! Overall, it’s a great mattress!

EMAIL to Ghostbed.ca 071725 demanding refund of $330.30 of 121824 = This mattress topper caused me unbearable pain and burning (not the coolest as you advertise) and laid on my living room couch for several months after only 4 nights of use. No one was willing to buy it on Kijiji at any low price nor any charity would take it at all, contrary to your suggestions. I did not want to write this until I had someone other than myself (a long term peripheral neuropathy sufferer) to try it out to verify so I could tell whether the problem was akin just to a person with peripheral neuropathy or not.
About 10 days ago that opportunity presented itself when a friend phoned who needed the use of it as a young elite #1 rated well-known Canadian athlete would be staying at her place for about a month and her guest bed required mattress augmentation. The athlete lasted one or two nights on it and was so uncomfortable that they had to order a new mattress for a good night's sleep - thus I now have confirmation that it was not just not me and my PN that was the problem but your mattress topper. {Add-ons here today but on prev emails to GB from early jan on}: also I have checked many many times on your site and have yet to find this MT selling for regular price - just always on sale (I would have not have purchased it if it was not it if it was not 50% off).

We purchased the Split King fully adjustable bed with all the options offered. Delivery was a bit of a process. I believe the bed was a little over 6K. We also ordered the mattress topper with the massage option. We only opened one. There was a 90-day return policy if you didn’t like it. My wife tried it one night. It was absolutely pointless and I wouldn’t even use it if they had given it to us for free, we boxed it back up. Sent it back as directed and then they only gave us credit for one of them. The bed itself is OK but absolutely not worth the $6000. I’ve slept on $15,000 beds. $3000 beds. This was like a $2000 bed. I would beware.

I am beyond disappointed with how my Twin XL mattress return was handled. The entire experience from start to finish has been frustrating and disappointing. I purchased a mattress, hoping for quality based on their promises, but it was a huge letdown. First, the mattress itself was far from comfortable and definitely not worth the price. It didn’t live up to any of the expectations set by their marketing and quickly became clear that I made a mistake buying it. Despite the 101- night sleep trial, the process was an absolute nightmare. Returning the mattress took way longer than expected, and the communication was awful. I had to wait far longer than expected for any updates or assistance. Every time I reached out for information, I was met with slow and unhelpful responses. The lack of urgency was frustrating, especially considering I was following their stated return policy.
To make matters worse, when it came time to issue my refund, they gave me an incredibly hard time. I had to deal with excessive delays and unnecessary back-and-forth before I was finally issued the credit. It was clear they were doing everything they could to avoid giving me my money back. This whole experience has been stressful and aggravating. I would not recommend this company to anyone, especially if you might need to return a product. The mattress wasn’t worth it, and the return process was a hassle from start to finish. Save yourself the headache and look elsewhere.

I ordered the cooling memory foam mattress topper on March 3rd, and I received it on March 12th. I got it because I'm a very hot sleeper, and the it's highly rated for cooling. There is no cooling effect, and it doesn't disperse heat as advertised; instead, it acts like a heat sink, and it concentrates your body heat in the area you're laying in, turning it into an inferno. After a few hours, I woke up feeling like I'm being cooked alive in an oven. I had to remove my covers and move to a cooler spot on my bed, but I kept waking up with the same sensation. That was the worse sleep I've ever had. I'm glad I got it for half off, but I'm still out $250 because GhostBed only accepts mattress returns. I hope the dumpster diver gets more use out of it than I did.

Bought a Ghostbed and realized quickly the bed was not for me. It left me stiff and achy the next day. Most of the time I ended up sleeping on my couch. They made the return process as difficult as possible. They would say they were going to send me a link or send me to the next department and then I would hear nothing. It took me almost two months to return and get my refund for my ghost bed. It was only after I reported them to the BBB that I made any headway. They literally had spent two weeks ghosting me. Would not recommend this company to anyone I actually liked. I hope the BBB fines them.

I will say Ghostbed has a warranty on mattress and if you follow through on the steps requiered to validate the claim. We first got the mattess and adjustable bases 4 years ago. One mattress started to hurt and bother my back, legs and shoulders. I notice a dig in a few areas and the sides buldge our of the mattress. I contracted Ghostbed who gave me steps for them to review which I did.
NOTE : REGISTER YOUR MATTRESS as soon as you get them. Once they received my pictures and documents, they asked me to use a ruler showing the dips and bulges. Once I sent those over, within 24hrs I got notified a new mattress was being shipped. Unlike other mattress companies who expect consumers to roll up and box a mattress LIKE TEMPUR-PEDIC, Ghostbed said to keep the old mattress and do whatever I would like. So it go donated to someone who had no bed. I received my new replacement mattress today and so happy.
I paid twice as much for a and had Tempur-pedic. Same dig experience, sent pics (3/4" to 1" dips) and got a response from Tempur-pedic stating my mattress did not qualify and to purchase their topper. It may help. We discarded that piece of poop. However Ghostbed did the opposite. Ghostbed stood behind its warranty and product. Things happen, mattresses get used and get worn out. Find a company Like Ghostbed to stand behind their product, have pride in their product and will help customers stay happy customers.

I ordered two Luxe Ghostbed Luxe mattresses one King and One Queen. Be very weary about the fine print in their policies. The salesperson will not tell you but the 101-day sleep trial is only for one mattress If you are contemplating ordering more than one mattress DON'T. They will only accept one mattress per household. I found the mattresses to be too firm. When I begged for service they were unwilling to allow me to return both mattresses despite being told I would have a 101-day sleep trial for both. Once they have your money you become irrelevant and they are not a company that stands behind their product. Order a mattress made in the USA that will stand behind their products. Do yourself a favor, order a Saatva Classic.

Before I made purchase of two twin mattresses from Ghostbed, I chatted with their representative and was informed that 101 night cover both mattresses. After I tried and felt dissatisfied with their mattresses, I requested a return and refund of the mattresses. Ghostbed tried in many ways to discourage return and gave me a runaround and refused to reply back. After I firmly and repeated insisted that I wanted to return the mattress. Ghostbed representative told me that I can only return one mattress. In addition, they told me that I needed to return the useless promotional items but didn't bother to provide instructions of how to return the items to them but was told that they would deduct a lot of money if such promotional items don't return to them. Ghostbed doesn't honor their guarantee and made the return process miserable. It intentionally misinform and mislead their consumers. Don't buy from Ghostbed.

Be aware that Ghostbed has a "non-cancellation" policy. It won't appear on your receipt. They will charge you a 15% restocking fee and force you to pay to return their items. How do I know this? I tried to cancel and order I made on their web site 7 minutes after it was placed. Six days later the items arrived and I was required to ship them back at my expense and pay the restocking fee.
Avoid this company! They have no customer orientation whatsoever, and use their "policy" as a means to extract money from unwilling customers...

I recently (within 2 weeks) purchased a split king frame and mattress combo for approximately 6500$ (including sheets and pillow).

I agree with many posts in here. In their site, everything looks honkydory. To start, their customer service is terrible. They just Ghost you when inconvenient to them. You buy a "bundle" (mattress and platform) and in the process of selling to you they fail to tell you that the 101 trial period only apply to the mattress. We slept terrible in their Venus Williams mattress. While trying to return, not a word of the platform, even though I requested the return of both. They gave me the run around for weeks to then point out the say in the site that the platform is not part of the 101 night trial regardless that you are buying a "bundle to "save" money (did you read the fine print?). Finally they said platform is now used so it can't be returned.
In their final offer, they pretend the mattress is way cheaper than the platform and charge 3 times for the platform (money they want to keep). I acted in good faith to support a "made in the USA" product and fell for their scam. I will not recommend doing business with them to anybody. Planning to take legal steps towards them.

We bought this mattress and it took longer to deliver than it was supposed to. We tried it for at least 30 days then asked to return it. Took them four days to get back to me. Because I didn’t answer the question properly of why I wanted to return it they said I didn’t cover the stipulation of returning it. Said I didn’t like the bed, that’s all I should have to say, but they said because I didn’t say it was hurting my back or Uncomfortable or causing me pain that I couldn’t return it because wasn’t my initial response. On the website, they say that you won’t get ghosted if you want to return this product, that is absolute complete lie. They will go screw you over. They have no integrity whatsoever. Do not buy this product. You will hate it and it you’ll never be able to get rid of it.

This company was heavily promoted by Disabled Veterans and hopeful Politicians on Unsubscribe from both Apple Podcasts and YouTube. I purchased the Split King Adjustable bed as I have 2 multi-level spinal fusions and chronic pain from them. Sleep is very difficult for me and this company as well as their spokesman Eli ** lead you to believe that this is a great company who cares and provides a phenomenal product. They do not. They lead you to believe that they have great customer support with helping to pick the right mattress and ensuring you get a great night's sleep. They do not. After spending over $5100 on their setup which they price at over $10000 you might expect that you would be getting a new condition bed? You would be wrong.
I randomly received my adjustable frames without ever receiving a FedEx tracking number, and 1 of the 2 boxes was literally destroyed. I called expecting that great customer service and the response was and I quote, "It only looks slightly damaged" and "You will have to take that up with FedEx" but I didn't purchase a slightly damaged bed, and I didn't contract with FedEx. They contracted with Fed Ex and you literally have no option to do otherwise when purchasing from them. Their response from their Director Dennis **, "We can offer you a $100 return for having received your frame in that condition." I don't want $100 I want the experience you promoted, I want a bed frame that wasn't kicked from the factory to my gate, I want a mattress cover that isn't stained yellow in the vacuum pack. I want my $5100 to be treated with the same amount of respect I worked my tail off to earn and than was lied to in order to spend it with you.
There is also no way to leave a review for the company, which means they use it as manipulation to appear to resolve disputes. I have emails from their customer support supervisor, Ryan that indicate the mattress frame as "slightly damaged" and still no intention to fix this problem. I have over 2 dozen pictures of the box in question and the mattress.

I purchased the Ghostbed split king adjustable base bed and at first loved it. After about 4 months (too late to return) the mattresses had softened and were extremely uncomfortable. The gap in the middle was tolerable at first but not as time passed because the sides of the mattresses sink and cause us to end up in the “valley”. This is by far the worst bed I’ve ever owned.

This is the worst mattress topper I have ever bought. It smells horrible and the foam looks and feels extremely cheap. It feels like the car wash foam from the dollar store. I tried to return it and the customer service was horrible. They told me that the topper was not returnable because it was a personal item which is ridiculous because a mattress is also a personal item but they give a "30 day trail" for it. I'm sure they'll find a shady way to deny it though.
When I bought the topper, nothing on the return policy stated it was non-returnable. When I called, they were rude and told me it was non-returnable. I told them no one ever told me when I bought it. They told me I should of done my research before buying it. They said it stated on the frequently asked questions that it was non-returnable. I said, well I didn't see it. How do you suppose to try it before buying the topper? They can just send you garbage and force you to keep it because you can't return it. Be aware before you buy. The topper is garbage and the customer service is trash. I recommend not to buy from this company. The ones from Walmart are even better

I purchased this mattress less than a year ago and it has been the worst sleep I have ever gotten to the point where I think there has been permanent damage done to my lower back.

I emailed the company with my concerns and was told that since I was past the 101 night trial that there was nothing they could do. I was also asked if I wanted to buy a mattress topper from them or told to try flipping the mattress even though it's not something they advise.

So...my one and only child, the light of my life, graduated high school earlier this year and started college this fall. He is required to live on campus for freshman year. I knew I wanted to get him an awesome, top of the line mattress topper. Didn't see anything that fit that bill at Target. Looked online and found the Ghostbed topper. Zoned for the different pressure points of the human anatomy and comfortable for different sleeping styles. Overall super positive, rave reviews. And, the kicker, it's not so horrible that I waited until pretty much the last minute to order. According to their website all orders ship within 24 hours. That's SHIP not process. There's a little (i) info link right after the 24 hour shipping claim that simply states that most customers receive their orders within 2-5 days. NOT BUSINESS DAYS, it just says 2-5 days, AFTER you click the (I) next to the promise of shipment on 24 hours.
I have screenshots of the website that proves what I'm saying is true. So , yes the website does say MOST customers receive their orders in 2-5 days, implying that this is not a guarantee. HOWEVER, the promise of shipment within 24 hours is not worded in an ambiguous way. It is stated very plainly that my order will ship within 24 hours. I received an IMMEDIATE email confirmation of my order, which I placed on Sat. 8/13, it advised me that I would be provided with a FedEx tracking number as soon as my order was shipped. So imagine my disappointment when I still hadn't received tracking number info by Tues. 8/16. That is when I started looking more carefully at the company I had entrusted with my hard earned money. Somehow I found my way to the Better Business Bureau website, where surprise! This company with the overwhelmingly positive reviews has a BBB rating of F.
Here's the other thing...They claim repeatedly to customers that had little recourse but to file a BBB complaint that their website clearly states that items are not returnable. At least that's what it says if you scroll through the mattress topper FAQ page and click on the return policy I don't know about anyone else, but when I see a product with over 90% positive reviews, I'm not thinking about the return policy, because I'm not expecting to have to return it. Too bad I didn't read the BBB complaints about verified buyers being blocked from leaving a negative review.
And I experienced this first hand. After I complained to Ghostbed and spoke with one of their reps, I received an automated email that asked me to rate my satisfaction with how my complaint was being handled. I was only given 2 options, good I'm satisfied or bad I'm not satisfied. When I clicked on Bad I'm not satisfied, I was immediately informed on the email that my complaint was now cancelled and that I would not be allowed to leave a review! I know right?! This may not be illegal but it is highly unethical and really a dirty way of doing business.
Mind you, I don't know what the rules for their mattresses are, but I have screenshots that say that, as far as the mattress TOPPER is concerned, it is not returnable. The thing is, when I called to find out what was going on with my order, as I had not received the SHIPMENT tracking number within the stated 24 hours, and requested to cancel, I was then informed that Ghostbed does not accept cancellations of orders because they process their orders so quickly. I was told via phone and email that I would have to now refuse service by FedEx and would be charged a 15% restocking fee as well as a return shipment fee. MIND YOU THE RETURN SHIPMENT FEE THEY ARE SAYING I AM FORCED TO PAY ON AN ORDER THAT HASNT ACTUALLY SHIPPED YET!
The topper FAQs says toppers aren't RETURNABLE, yet they are telling me I need to wait until FedEx actually receives the product from them and then refuse service and have returned. How is that the procedure when it states it's not returnable? Mind you, it doesn't say I can't cancel my order that hasn't yet shipped. Fine, they pulled the order and put it with other items TO BE SHIPPED (but haven't gone yet). I understand I have to pay the 15% restocking fee (so excited to see if I'm going to be yet another customer that is charged the 15% restocking fee on the original price of the items I ordered instead of 15% of the over 50% sales price that I was actually charged (SHADY, SHADY, SCAM, SCAM). Check the BBB reviews if you think I'm not being truthful. You cannot return an item that isn't in transit to you. Returning and cancelling are NOT the same thing.
Please don't give this company a cent of the money you worked for. This is hands down the slimiest business I've ever been involved with. I'm still in shock that a business built around intentionally trying to mislead, deceive, and rip people off can remain in business. I don't see an option to upload documents, but I have proof of everything I've said, if there's a way I can provide my proof please let me know.

We ordered the Comfort Bundle from GhostBed with the 3D Matrix Mattress. We had done a lot of research on online mattress companies and felt like GhostBed had good reviews and good customer service. We tried the mattress for 30 days and were not impressed. We sank in the middle and the edge support was nonexistent. We decided to return it thinking that we would get the value of the mattress back in a refund. Instead the company charged us the full listed price for the sheets, foundation, and pillows that came with the Comfort Bundle. Thus it ended up costing us $800+ to "try out the mattress for 101 days."
I tried to deal with customer service to see if they would just give us the actual price of the sheets, foundation, and pillows listed on their website. They didn't respond. I tried again and was sent a link to their terms buried on their website stating that they could basically upcharge these items to the highest listed cost in giving out the refund. If you buy from GhostBed, then I hope you have a better experience.

Bought a mattress topper $250 on "sale" to replace my existing one as I was waking up with shoulder and hip pain and this topper was supposed to relieve those pressure point pains, HA! After trying it for 1 week, it is so bad I will go back to my old topper. Also the cooling effect they claim was not evident to me or my wife and the Topper cover had a very strong chemical odor. I purchased it believing I had a free trial, even during checkout the "free trial icon" was on the checkout screen, however after applying for a refund I was told that toppers are not covered by the free trial. This company is no more than a SCAM!
