GhostBed Classic

GoodBed Expert Review
Our Take on GhostBed Classic

Founder of GoodBed
Michael Magnuson

Founder of GoodBed, Leading Mattress Expert

Bottom Line - Is the GhostBed Classic the right mattress for you?
Bottom line best icon BEST if you
  • 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
Bottom line not ideal icon NOT IDEAL if you
  • 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)

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.
