GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on GhostBed Classic

Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert
- Want a medium-firm mattress (i.e., just a little firmer than average)
- Are mainly a back sleeper (though this mattress can also be good for side sleepers who prioritize firm support over extra pressure relief)
- Can sometimes be disturbed by other movements in the bed (motion isolation is very good)
- Would like a mattress with excellent adjustable base compatibility
- Enjoy sleeping 'on' your mattress while being just a little hugged or cradled
- Prefer a slightly above average amount of 'memory feel'
- Want it to be as easy as possible to move around and change positions during the night
- Prefer products that have been more extensively tested by GoodBed
- Weigh 225 lb or more, especially if you sleep on your stomach
- Like a fair bit of bounce in your mattress
- Have a strong tendency to sleep hot (temperature regulation is OK, but not the best)
- Regularly sit or sleep along the edge of your bed (edge support is good, but not the best)
- Are allergic to latex
- Want a natural or organic mattress (though this mattress is still OK in terms of avoiding harmful chemicals)

Yes, the GhostBed Classic mattress is adjustable base compatible. This means it is designed to be used on an adjustable base without incurring damage or voiding the warranty. In our review of this mattress, we tested it on an adjustable base to look for any adverse effects as the head and foot are elevated, and to see how well it conforms to the contours of the base both with and without the weight of a sleeper. Overall, we found the GhostBed Classic to have excellent adjustable base compatibility.

Additional Information
General Description
How Perfection is Built: The GhostBed Classic is a bigger, better, more affordable mattress of the highest quality. We designed the original GhostBed with top quality materials and the latest in sleep technology. As a result, the GhostBed Classic provides a perfect balance of supernatural comfort and total-body support.
THE INSIDE: Guided by years of experience and many tested products, we have designed the perfect feel that combines different densities and thicknesses of foam.
- 1½" Continuous aerated latex foam is naturally responsive, plush and does not retain heat.
- 2" Gel memory foam uses a proprietary formula with larger cells to make it more reactive to the body for cooler nights.
- 7½" High density base layer for increased support and longevity.
- 11" Total Height of the GhostBed Mattress
THE OUTSIDE: Once we crafted the perfect feeling mattress, we top it with a cover that is ultra soft, comfortable, flexible and durable.
- Luxurious cover with a blend of viscose and polyester for stretchability and a plush feel.
- Cover easily zips off for easy spot cleaning.
- Handcrafted for durability and long-life and is CertiPUR-US certified.
