GhostBed mattresses are described as the coolest beds on the market. Features like cooling gel memory foam and outer covers that ​​wick away heat and moisture make them a popular option for hot sleepers.

Our guide to GhostBed mattresses compares a few of the most popular options so you can decide on the best GhostBed mattress for your needs. Whether you’re looking for that ideal combination of supportive but soft or the cooling relief promised by the brand, we’ll help you find the best GhostBed for you.

Why Is It Called a GhostBed?

These mattresses are called GhostBeds because of the founder’s backstory. Marc Werner used to be afraid of ghosts hiding under his bed as a little boy.

While he grew out of the fear, even calling his sailboat Ghost, the idea of ghosts under the bed stuck with him when he was ready to start his mattress company. It wasn’t to give consumers a sense that anything spooky was going on here, but a quirky callback to his childhood.

Who makes GhostBed mattresses? GhostBed is owned by the Nature’s Sleep bedding company. All beds are manufactured in the United States and Canada.

GhostBed Technology Overview

GhostBed mattresses are all about the layers. While they can vary somewhat depending on the style you choose, the innovations that make these mattresses generally include the following:

  • Ghost Ice Cover: A blend of fabrics on the outer cover wicks away heat and moisture to keep you cool throughout the night.
  • Aerated latex: This latex layer is aerated to encourage airflow throughout the night while absorbing pressure.
  • Gel memory foam: GhostBed’s open-cell formulation promises to keep you cool longer than other memory foam mattresses while relieving pressure points with its gel beads.
  • High-density foam: This long-lasting foam core is firm enough to relieve pain at pressure points but not uncomfortably hard that you’ll wake up anything but refreshed.
  • Ghost Bounce: This unique foam found in GhostBed’s luxury styles is more spring-like and responsive to movement as you sleep.

Is GhostBed good for back pain? GhostBed is good for back pain thanks to its multiple layers of comfort. Depending on the mattress, you could be sleeping on up to seven layers.

The foam core is especially important for supporting your spine and alleviating any pain throughout the night. An adjustable base may also be an option for you if you need your head or legs slightly elevated for maximum back support.

Is GhostBed good for side sleepers? GhostBed’s memory foam layers mean it’s good for any sleep position. That includes side sleepers. Those layers mold to the contours of your body to give your body just enough pressure for both comfort and adequate support.

Best Foundations for GhostBed Mattresses

Do you need a box spring with GhostBed? You don’t need a box spring with a GhostBed mattress, but you do need a sturdy foundation.

As with any mattress, a quality bed foundation preserves the life of your GhostBed mattress. GhostBed foundations are designed to complement your new mattress and provide solid support for your bed.

The GhostBed All-in-One Foundation is a budget-friendly option that is easy to assemble, with no separate metal frame needed. These can work with any mattress but are specifically designed for GhostBed mattresses.

GhostBed Adjustable Base

An adjustable base helps you personalize your sleep even further or create a setup that can make your bed even more versatile. GhostBed adjustable bases come with full adjustability at your head and feet, whisper-quiet massage technology, USB ports, a wireless remote, and more.

Six unique presets help you go from zero gravity to “watching TV” mode with just one touch of a button. It’s all about giving you more choices for ideal rest. All GhostBed mattresses are compatible with the GhostBed Adjustable Base.

GhostBed Pillows

GhostPillows come in three different styles to meet different sleeping needs. The GhostPillow Memory Foam option is ideal for sleepers who are always seeking the cool side of the pillow. The Faux Down offers a more huggable, plush feel. The Shredded GhostPillow is a pillow with a medium level of firmness. The filling is removable on that last one, so it can be customized to your liking.
