Buy Ghostbed
The GhostBed Luxe mattress is a high-performance memory foam mattress known for its cooling properties, responsiveness, and pressure relief. It scores highly in motion transfer, cooling, and response time, making it ideal for couples and those who sleep hot. The mattress features a phase-change cover, gel-infused memory foam, and multiple foam layers for support and stability. It offers a 101-night trial period and a 25-year warranty. However, it has noticeable off-gassing upon unboxing and may not appeal to those who prefer a firmer feel due to its deep sinkage.
