I recently was in the market for a new mattress because well, mine was disgusting! Between a sweaty husband, sticky kid, dirty dog, and furry cats my mattress had lived through a lot of spills, messes, and “accidents.” I think every known bodily fluid from both humans and animals had at one point been on my mattress! Eeewwwwww! Needless to say, it was time to replace it! I’ve always wanted one of those fancy memory foam mattresses but also didn’t want to spend a million dollars on it. I did some research on memory foam mattresses (and mattress protectors!) and wanted to share what I found to be the best, cost-effective mattress and mattress protector on the market.
The mattress and mattress protector I found are from Ghostbed. Compared to the other memory foam style mattress I found on the market, the Ghostbed memory-foam mattress and mattress protector are the best bang for your buck! The mattress is about $300-$1000 cheaper than the other brands out there with the same benefits.
The Original GhostBed
Plush Cover
Smooth, softcover made with a stretchy, durable blend of viscose and polyester
1½” Aerated Latex Foam
The small holes in this top latex layer constantly pull heat away from the body for a cooler sleep. The latex also supplies a nice, springy feel that makes bedroom activities other than sleep especially enjoyable.
2” Gel Memory Foam
Their proprietary foam formula is created with larger cells than traditional memory foam. This layer helps transfer heat away from the body for cooler sleeping.
7.5” High-Density Base
Their long-lasting, high-density foam core forms the foundation of your GhostBed. We developed the base to be firm enough for good spinal alignment without creating an uncomfortably hard-feeling mattress.
The GhostBed Luxe
½” Triple-Tech “Ghost Hug” Cooling Topper
First, a ½” of cooling fiber is woven into the topper.
1″ Gel Memory Foam Formula
Next, 1” of their proprietary Gel Memory Foam formula is infused into the topper to transfer heat away from the body
Ghost Ice Fabric
Finally, they top it off with our cool-to-the-touch Ghost Ice Fabric.
Ghost Ice Layer
Cutting edge phase change technology captures heat, creating a cool sleeping.
Gel Memory Foam
Gel infused into the Memory Foam absorbs heat as it builds up then dissipates as fresh air passes through the foam.
Ghost Bounce Layer
Exclusively ours- responsive like Latex, contouring like Memory Foam, yet resilient. The Ghost Bounce layer is as close as you can come to floating without leaving the ground.
7.5” High-Density Base
Provides ideal support, durability, and longevity. Your natural body temperature is 98.6°F. Throughout the night, the heat your body creates can become trapped in your mattress, creating an uncomfortably hot sleeping environment. That doesn’t happen with the GhostBed Luxe. Its core includes a layer of Phase Change Material, which absorbs and dissipates large amounts of heat without raising the temperature of the inner foam layers.
The GhostBed Flex
Cooling Cover
GhostBed Flex’s top layer includes advanced technology to keep you cool throughout the night.
1” of Cooling Fiber
Woven directly into the cover to help create airflow. Topped with Ghost Cooling Fabric for a refreshing feel.
1” of Gel Memory Foam
Cutting edge phase change technology captures heat, creating a cool sleeping.
Gel Memory Foam
A layer so nice, we did it twice. 1” of their special gel-infused Memory Foam absorbs and dissipates body heat as fresh air passes through the foam.
Ghost Flex Soft Transition Foam
1” of pure pressure relief. This layer of soft transition foam contours to your body and reduces the need to toss and turn.
Individually Wrapped & Reinforced Support Coils
Individual coils offer the responsive support of traditional innerspring mattresses, without the worry of wearing out after just a few months. Additionally, the coils near the edge of GhostBed Flex are specially reinforced for better support — so you can sit on the edge of your bed without sliding off.
High-Density Support Foam
A solid inch of foam underneath the coil layer gives extra support and durability.
I found most reviews online to be super positive, so I decided to try it out for myself. I tend to sleep on my stomach hugging a body pillow and this mattress was recommended as a good mattress for stomach sleepers to provide back support. After the first night on my new mattress, I am a true believer now! The GhostBed mattress is amazing and I woke up feeling rested and more refreshed than I ever have before. It doesn’t absorb your body heat, so you stay nice and cool all night. No more one leg in the covers and one leg outside the covers (you know you do it too!)!. You can sleep comfortably in any position all night long because the mattress provides soft support.
Now that I am in love with my mattress, I had to make sure I also protected it from all the messes of my daily life! From spills to throw up, I knew I needed a mattress protector. Now, GhostBed offers bundle deals on their mattresses, sheets, pillows, and adjustable baes but they do not include the mattress protector. I did end up getting the GhostBed Bundle and opted into also getting their mattress protector. It’s $99 but the reviews were pretty amazing. Plus, it also came with free shipping which is a must for me when online shopping. I HATE having to pay an additional shipping fee!
Other mattress protectors that I’ve purchased from Amazon have fallen apart after the 3rd or 4th wash. I’ve struggled to find a mattress protector that is comfortable, waterproof (more like pee and throw-up proof), and comes with a substantial warranty. The GhostBed Mattress Cover Protector came with a 10-year warranty, so I thought it was a pretty good value if I could exchange it for a new one if it did tear or fall apart before 10 years. I love the GhostGrip (elastic band) which makes it so easy to cover the mattress (and it doesn’t shift)! It pairs great with any GhostBed mattresses listed above (although it will work with yours just fine)!
Each GhostBed Mattress Cover Protector features:
GhostGrip
2-inch thick elastic band encases entire bottom for maximum stability.
Comfort
Super soft knit top provides quiet breathability.
Security
Total water-proof barrier with long-lasting durability after every wash.
Technology
Non-migrating antimicrobial technology helps eliminate allergens.
Warranty
10-year limited warranty.
FREE SHIPPING!
So, overall the GhostBed Mattress and GhostBed Mattress Cover Protector are a great value and will give you a wonderful night sleep in comfort plus protect your investment for many, many years to come (hopefully all the way until your kids move out!)!
