I wanted to dig into GhostBed because this brand keeps showing up in cooling mattress conversations, yet many shoppers feel lost between all the Comfort, Signature, Luxe, and 3D Matrix options. From the perspective of a working reviewer who tests beds for a living, that kind of overlap starts to blur quickly, so I needed to live with these models in a structured way and separate the marketing from the actual feel and performance. I also kept seeing big sale banners that made the price story confusing, which pushed me toward a full GhostBed mattress reviews project.
My name is Chris Miller. I lead our little sleep lab and coordinate a fixed team of testers who mirror very different body types and habits. Marcus Reed brings a heavier frame and runs hot on almost everything. Mia Chen has a lighter side-sleeper frame that reacts fast to shoulder pressure. Jenna Brooks shares a bed with a partner and attacks motion transfer like it insulted her personally. I act as the generalist, floating between positions, logging how my lower back reacts during long workweeks.
For this GhostBed mattress reviews roundup, we focused on four core models that represent the current lineup in the U.S. market: GhostBed Comfort Foam, GhostBed Luxe Foam, GhostBed Signature Hybrid, and GhostBed 3D Matrix Hybrid. These mattresses cover budget foam, luxury foam, mid-range hybrid, and high-end hybrid, with each one offering a specific stack of height, layers, cooling tech, trial period, and long warranties.

Testing Team Takeaways
In my view, the GhostBed lineup feels like one family, yet each mattress pushes a different dial. I kept rotating across the four models for weeks, tracking how my mild lower-back tightness behaved as I shifted from back to side, and occasionally to a short stomach nap. On the Comfort Foam, I kept noticing a firmer, flatter support band under my lumbar region, which felt predictable during late-night laptop sessions. On the Luxe Foam, my hips settled a touch deeper, but my back still felt held in a gentle arc rather than a sag. The Signature Hybrid gave me the most “neutral” nights, where I woke up thinking more about emails than my spine. The 3D Matrix Hybrid, with that stretchy polymer layer, created a sensation that my hips slid into a pocket while my shoulders floated, which my desk-weary back appreciated during long back-sleep stretches.
Marcus went into this GhostBed mattress reviews cycle with a very clear bias toward hybrids and strong edge support. Under his 6'1", 230-pound frame, the Comfort Foam felt serviceable yet slightly basic. He described that feeling with a shrug and the line “it resets my back, but I want more lift at the edges.” On the Signature Hybrid, his language changed; after a few nights he started talking about “a reset under the hips without the sag hammock thing,” especially when he rolled from back into a brief stomach sprawl. The 3D Matrix Hybrid surprised him. He kept saying “this thing runs cool for a plush build,” and he rated its edge when he sat to tie shoes as nearly chair-like, which matters for heavier sleepers who live near the perimeter.
Mia, at 5'4" and about 125 pounds, cares about shoulders more than anything. For her, the Comfort Foam felt okay, yet she described the side-sleep experience as “a bit flat; my shoulder wants a softer pocket.” On the Luxe Foam, her mood changed in about an hour. After one side-sleep stretch, she rolled over and said “this is the soft pocket I keep chasing,” noting how the quilted Ghost Ice cover cooled her skin while the deeper foam let her outer hip sink without twisting her neck. The 3D Matrix Hybrid felt a touch more buoyant, with the polymer and coils lifting her slightly higher, but she still rated its pressure relief highly at the shoulders due to that conforming upper stack.
Jenna, who shares a bed nightly, focused on motion isolation, edge use, and how easy it felt to roll across the surface during the night. On the Comfort Foam, she liked the quiet feel when her partner climbed in late, calling it “classic memory-foam stillness without the deep stuck feeling.” During GhostBed mattress reviews for Luxe Foam, she noticed a little more hug but still described motion as muted, which matters if one person keeps odd hours. On the Signature Hybrid, she felt more bounce when her partner switched sides, yet she still said “it’s controlled bounce, not trampoline bounce,” and she liked the extra edge stability for two people. The 3D Matrix Hybrid landed in a sweet spot for her: enough motion dampening for her partner’s midnight water runs, along with a perimeter she trusted when both used the sides.

What We Tested and How We Tested It
For these GhostBed mattress reviews, we relied on a repeatable protocol that keeps different brands comparable. I rotated each mattress through our test rooms, recorded impressions at specific checkpoints, and cross-checked those notes with independent lab-style measurement data, third-party benchmarks, and aggregated owner feedback.
The key metrics we scored for every GhostBed mattress model include support, pressure relief, cooling, motion isolation, responsiveness, edge support, durability, off-gassing and smell, ease of repositioning, and value relative to price. Numerical scores later in the article follow these definitions.
Marcus, Mia, and Jenna slept full nights on assigned models across their usual positions, with me dropping in for combination-sleep runs. We logged body-map impressions, tracked how surfaces felt at bedtime versus early morning, and checked edges through sitting, tying shoes, and sliding off the mattress. My notes focused heavily on lumbar alignment and how my back reacted across workweeks. Marcus tracked heat buildup and support under his heavier frame. Mia flagged shoulder and hip pressure during long side-sleep stretches. Jenna tracked partner movement and how easily she rolled without feeling stuck.
We also factored manufacturer details into scoring. Height, foam density where published, coil gauge information where available, trial length, warranty length, and country of manufacture all influence durability and value grades for these GhostBed mattress reviews. GhostBed tends to run a 101-night sleep trial, free shipping in the contiguous U.S., and 20–25-year limited warranties on the mainline models.
GhostBed Mattress: Our Testing Experience
GhostBed Comfort Foam – “Value Support GhostBed Mattress”
Our Testing Experience
The Comfort Foam became our starting point because it anchors the line as the budget all-foam option. Under my 185-pound frame, the top felt medium-firm and flat, with a mild give at the shoulders yet a denser band through my lower back. During the first few back-sleep sessions, I kept waiting for that slow sag you see with softer memory foam, but this kind of foam stayed more responsive. I could shift from back to side without feeling stuck, although the comfort layers never created a very deep hug.
Marcus called the Comfort Foam his “workhorse budget bed.” On the first night, he lay down on his back, paused, and muttered “okay, this feels simple but steady.” Under his 230-pound build, the support core engaged quickly. He did not feel that hammock drop under his hips, which matters for heavier back and stomach sleepers. Heat-wise, his feedback stayed neutral. He said “I can feel the cover running cooler than basic foam, but this isn’t an ice bath,” which lines up with the Ghost Ice cover claims and moderate cooling score.
Mia reacted differently. She enjoyed the pressure balance during short sessions on her back, yet extended side-sleep blocks told a harsher story. After an hour on her right side she said “my shoulder feels a little pinned, like the foam does not give quite enough.” That kind of comment matched her history with medium-firm budget foam. Her lighter body does not drive deeply into the comfort layers, so she tends to feel the firmer base more quickly. For her, Comfort Foam made more sense in occasional-guest use, or as a budget pick for someone who prefers a flatter feel.
Jenna appreciated the motion isolation. When her partner climbed in late, she barely felt the mattress flex. She described the surface as “quiet, obedient foam,” which fits basic poly-foam behavior. Edge support felt more average. During her edge-sitting tests she sank a little farther than on the GhostBed hybrids, yet she still trusted the mattress for sleeping near the perimeter in a queen.
From the perspective of use cases, Comfort Foam fits budget shoppers who like medium-firm support, do not need a high-end cooling stack, and care more about simple reliability than luxury feel. Guest rooms, college apartments, and value-focused households sit squarely inside its target.

GhostBed Luxe Foam – “Cooling Cloud GhostBed Mattress”
Our Testing Experience
GhostBed markets the Luxe Foam as the coolest bed in the world, and while that slogan feels bold, the cooling stack here really changes the nightly experience. The surface felt cool the moment my shoulders hit the quilted Ghost Ice cover. During longer side-sleep runs, I noticed that my upper back stayed dry even as room temperature crept higher. The top layers combine cooling fibers, gel memory foam, and additional Ghost Ice elements, which create a slow, enveloping hug that never fully turns swampy in typical bedroom conditions.
As a combination sleeper, I felt my lumbar dip slightly deeper than on Comfort Foam, yet I never lost the sense of an underlying support platform. While lying on my back with a laptop, the mattress gave a plush, almost cloud-like cradle around my hips and shoulders. For very long stomach-sleep stretches this design may feel too soft, but for back and side positions it reads as luxurious.
Mia became the biggest Luxe Foam fan during our GhostBed mattress reviews cycle. On the first side-sleep session, she curled into a loose fetal position and said “this is the soft pocket I keep asking for, and my shoulder still feels cool.” She tends to overheat on dense foams, yet here the cover and gel layers kept her from waking with a sweaty shoulder mark. During the second week, she commented that her outer hip felt cushioned without any sharp hotspot, which validated the high pressure-relief score we assigned.
Marcus often dislikes softer foams because his heavier build sinks too far under the hips. On Luxe Foam, his feedback stayed more nuanced. He reported “a little more dip than I’d choose as a primary stomach bed, but the cooling layers are no joke,” especially on warm evenings. He also flagged edge support as adequate for sleep, yet not his favorite for long edge-sitting sessions, which is normal for tall, plush foam designs.
Jenna focused on motion isolation. Here she seemed impressed. She described partner movement as “barely-there ripples under a very thick blanket,” and she could stretch near the edge without feeling the perimeter collapse. For couples where one person runs hot, the combination of cooling performance plus low motion transfer makes Luxe Foam kind of a specialist option.
In my view, Luxe Foam works best for hot side sleepers, back sleepers who like a plusher top, and couples who care a lot about cooling and motion control more than rock-hard edge support or ultra-bouncy feel.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Strong, noticeable surface and deep-layer cooling | Higher price than Comfort and Signature models |
| Plush contouring that cradles shoulders and hips | Too soft for many strict stomach sleepers |
| Excellent motion isolation for couples | Edge support adequate yet not outstanding for heavier edge-sitters |

GhostBed Signature Hybrid – “Daily Driver GhostBed Mattress Hybrid”
Our Testing Experience
The Signature Hybrid feels like GhostBed’s everyday workhorse hybrid, meant for people who want memory-foam contouring plus coil support without the ultra-premium price tag. It uses a 12-inch profile with 7 layers, combining a quilted cooling cover, gel memory foam, transitional foam, pocketed coils, and a base foam layer.
When I rolled onto my back on this mattress, my first reaction was that the surface felt balanced and grounded. There was enough foam on top to cushion my shoulders while my lower back found a stable plane across the coil system. During side-sleep stretches, my hips eased into the comfort layers, yet I could still feel the coils controlling the depth of that sink. In my notes, I described the feel as “practical comfort with bounce.”
Marcus latched onto this mattress during the GhostBed mattress reviews project. His first full night produced a very direct verdict: “this feels like a default bed I could live on,” meaning a mattress that neither calls attention to itself nor frustrates him. Under his heavier frame, the medium-firm coil system resisted that sagging hammock shape he dreads. He also mentioned that the cooling cover and gel foams kept him comfortable, even though the Signature Hybrid does not stack as many cooling layers as Luxe Foam or 3D Matrix.
For Mia, Signature Hybrid delivered a compromise. Her shoulders got more room than on Comfort Foam, yet she did not reach the pillowy feel of Luxe Foam. She said “my shoulders feel okay, not gushy, not jammed,” during extended side-sleep nights. She felt especially supported during back-sleep segments when her neck and mid-back lined up cleanly with the coil response. For a petite side sleeper who dislikes very firm beds, this model sat in the acceptable-to-good range.
Jenna thought of Signature Hybrid as a couple’s workhorse. Motion isolation did not fully match Luxe Foam, yet she still called it “controlled, with a little bounce that makes it easy to roll across.” She appreciated the reinforced edges during two-person use, particularly in smaller sizes where every inch matters. During edge-sitting tests, she pressed down near the corner and found that the perimeter compressed less than the pure foam models.
In my view, this GhostBed mattress hybrid works well for average to heavier sleepers who rotate positions, share a bed, and want supportive alignment plus some bounce for movement. It does not feel as soft as Luxe or 3D Matrix, yet it stays more versatile across body types.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Medium-firm feel with clear, structured coil support | Motion isolation slightly behind the all-foam Luxe model |
| Strong value given frequent promotions and sub-$1,200 pricing | Some off-gassing on unboxing in smaller rooms |
| Balanced cooling performance for a hybrid | Side sleepers under 130 pounds may want more plushness at the shoulders |
| Reinforced edges that support sitting and couple use | Bounce level may annoy those who prefer deep, slow memory-foam feel |

- Price (Queen): listed around $1,399, often seen near $1,199 in recent promotions
- Height: 12 inches (some sources list 12.5", but GhostBed markets 12")
- Construction: 7 layers including quilted cooling cover, gel memory foam, transition foam, pocketed coils, and base foam
- Firmness: medium-firm, around 6 out of 10, tuned for wide appeal
- Type: hybrid, with memory foam over individually wrapped coils

GhostBed 3D Matrix Hybrid – “Tech-Forward GhostBed Mattress Flagship”
Our Testing Experience
3D Matrix Hybrid sits at the high end of GhostBed’s lineup, with a distinct layer of 3D Matrix gel polymer that stretches and conforms to body shape and temperature. Under my back, that layer created an unusual yet pleasant sensation. My hips eased into a soft cradle while my mid-back and shoulders felt lightly suspended by the polymer and coil combination.
During longer back-sleep sessions, my lower back stayed supported without any gap between spine and surface. When I rolled to my side, I felt the polymer and foam stack adjust, with the coil support limiting how far my hips dropped. The mattress felt medium-plush overall, yet the support underneath behaved more like a firm platform hiding under a soft top. I wrote in my notes that it “blends a pillow-top vibe with a technical, cooling twist.”
Marcus approached 3D Matrix with some skepticism because he assumes plush means sag. After two nights, he changed tone. He said “this feels plush, but my hips still feel reset every morning,” which is rare praise from him. Heat performance impressed him as well. He found that his torso and shoulders remained cooler than on many competing hybrids, particularly during stuffy nights without strong HVAC. He also rated edge support as very strong, thanks to the reinforced perimeter and coil design.
Mia described her first side-sleep night on 3D Matrix as “pillowy yet structured.” Her shoulder slipped into the surface without a stabbing point, while her neck alignment stayed comfortable. She also felt stable when switching from left to right side, with the polymer layer reacting quickly to small posture shifts. That kind of adaptive behavior matters for people who wake often and need the surface to adjust without a long delay.
Jenna found motion isolation slightly behind Luxe Foam but ahead of many standard hybrids. When her partner got up for water, she felt a gentle rolling sensation rather than a sharp jolt. She especially liked the combination of perimeter strength and top-level comfort when the couple stretched to the edges while streaming shows.
From the perspective of use cases, 3D Matrix Hybrid suits hot, pressure-sensitive sleepers, many side sleepers with joint pain, and combination sleepers who want a premium feel and advanced cooling, as long as the budget can stretch.
Pros & Cons
| Pros | Cons |
| Advanced 3D Matrix gel polymer for adaptive pressure relief and cooling | Premium pricing compared with other GhostBed options |
| Balanced feel: plush comfort over supportive coils | Too plush for sleepers who demand an extra-firm surface |
| Strong perimeter with reinforced edge support | Extra tech may feel unnecessary for basic guest-room use |
| Excellent cooling performance for a thick hybrid | Heavier stomach sleepers may prefer firmer Comfort Foam or Signature |

Best Picks
Best Overall GhostBed mattress for hot, pressure-sensitive sleepers – GhostBed 3D Matrix Hybrid
This award goes to 3D Matrix Hybrid because its 3D Matrix polymer, coil system, and foam stack deliver the highest combined scores in cooling and pressure relief within this GhostBed mattress reviews lineup. For side sleepers with joint pain or combination sleepers who overheat on ordinary foam hybrids, this model offers a rare combination of plush comfort and technical temperature control.
Best value GhostBed mattress for everyday use – GhostBed Signature Hybrid
Signature Hybrid stands out as a daily driver because its medium-firm hybrid build, reinforced edges, and strong sale pricing create a practical sweet spot for many households. For mixed-position sleepers, couples, and heavier users who want bounce and alignment without luxury-level pricing, this GhostBed mattress hybrid provides a compelling balance.
Best GhostBed mattress for hot side sleepers who love foam – GhostBed Luxe Foam
Among foam models in this GhostBed mattress reviews guide, Luxe Foam clearly targets hot side sleepers and lighter to average-weight users who want deep contouring. Its multi-layer cooling stack and plush yet supportive feel help shoulders and hips relax, while motion isolation stays excellent for couples where one person moves constantly.
How to Choose the GhostBed Mattress?
Choosing between these GhostBed mattress models starts with body type, sleep position, and heat sensitivity. Firmness preference, budget flexibility, and appetite for hybrid bounce versus pure foam feel also shape the decision in a practical way.
For a light-weight side sleeper like Mia, GhostBed Luxe Foam or GhostBed 3D Matrix Hybrid make sense. Luxe Foam gives deep contouring with strong cooling, while 3D Matrix Hybrid adds extra support and bounce without losing plush comfort.
For an average-weight back sleeper like me, GhostBed Signature Hybrid fits daily use better than Comfort Foam or Luxe Foam. Its medium-firm coil system and gel foam stack hold my lumbar without feeling rigid, and the hybrid design keeps me from feeling trapped in foam.
For a hot sleeper who rotates between back and side, Luxe Foam or 3D Matrix Hybrid deliver noticeable cooling advantages. If that person prefers foam’s enveloping feel and a slightly lower price, Luxe Foam stands out. If that person wants hybrid bounce plus even more aggressive cooling, 3D Matrix Hybrid steps into that role.
For a heavier couple closer to Marcus’s build, GhostBed Signature Hybrid or GhostBed 3D Matrix Hybrid give stronger edge support and better long-term support than Comfort Foam. Signature Hybrid saves money while staying supportive. 3D Matrix Hybrid adds premium pressure relief and more sophisticated temperature control.
For a budget-conscious shopper or a guest room, GhostBed Comfort Foam merits a serious look. It avoids excessive sagging, runs medium-firm, and offers decent cooling and motion isolation at a lower price, which suits less demanding use cases.
Limitations
As a group, these GhostBed mattress models tilt toward medium to medium-firm comfort levels, with an emphasis on cooling and contouring rather than ultra-rigid firmness. Sleepers who want a rock-hard surface may find Comfort Foam still too forgiving and may not appreciate the plusher Luxe or 3D Matrix constructions.
Ultra-low-budget shoppers might consider Comfort Foam still expensive compared with deep-discount regional brands or very basic foam imports. GhostBed focuses on a value-plus story with long warranties and cooling tech, not absolute bare-minimum cost.
Very heavy sleepers far above 300 pounds per person may outgrow these mainstream models and might want specialized extra-firm innerspring designs with thicker coil systems. Fans of extremely springy, old-school innerspring beds with minimal foam layers may also find the hybrids here too cushioned and controlled, since GhostBed uses meaningful foam thickness over the coils.

FAQs
1. Are GhostBed mattresses good for hot sleepers?
Many GhostBed models focus heavily on cooling, especially Luxe Foam and 3D Matrix Hybrid, which use Ghost Ice fabrics, gel foams, and in the case of 3D Matrix, a thermal-conductive gel polymer layer. These features help pull heat away from the body and let air move more freely through the surface and core.
2. Which GhostBed mattress is best for side sleepers?
Side sleepers under average weight often like GhostBed Luxe Foam because it provides a soft pocket around shoulders and hips. Side sleepers who want more bounce and a slightly higher, lifted feel often prefer GhostBed 3D Matrix Hybrid, which combines coils and gel polymer to keep joints cushioned without deep sag.
3. Is GhostBed Comfort Foam too basic for a primary mattress?
Comfort Foam works as a primary mattress for many people who like medium-firm support and value pricing. It feels simple compared with Luxe and 3D Matrix, yet supports backs well and offers reasonable cooling. Lighter side sleepers who want plush comfort often prefer Luxe Foam or 3D Matrix over Comfort Foam.
4. How firm are GhostBed mattresses overall?
Most GhostBed models in this GhostBed mattress reviews guide fall in the medium to medium-firm zone, around 6 out of 10 on many scales. Comfort Foam and Signature Hybrid feel more classically medium-firm, while Luxe Foam and 3D Matrix Hybrid lean a touch plusher across the top layers.
5. Do GhostBed mattresses work on adjustable bases?
GhostBed designs these mattresses for compatibility with adjustable bases, including its own adjustable frames. Flexible foam layers and pocketed coils bend with the base, as long as the frame offers solid support under the entire mattress footprint.
6. How long do GhostBed mattresses typically last?
Exact lifespan depends on body weight, use patterns, and care, yet these models use multi-layer foam stacks and coil units aimed at multi-year primary use. Long limited warranties up to 25 years signal GhostBed’s confidence, although comfort preferences may change earlier for many sleepers.
7. Are GhostBed mattresses good for couples?
GhostBed Luxe Foam excels for couples who want maximum motion isolation, while Comfort Foam also performs well for movement control. Signature Hybrid and 3D Matrix Hybrid add bounce and strong edge support, which helps couples spread out and still feel stable when using the sides of the mattress.
8. What if I dislike my GhostBed mattress during the trial?
Under typical GhostBed policies, you must keep the mattress at least 30 nights. After that period, you can start a return within the 101-night window for a refund, with GhostBed usually arranging pickup. Retailer purchases may follow different rules, so always confirm with the store.
9. Does GhostBed make RV or specialty versions of these mattresses?
Yes, GhostBed sells RV-specific foam and hybrid versions along with wellness models such as massage mattresses and Venus Williams Legend beds. Those variants tweak thickness and feel for travel spaces or recovery-focused marketing rather than everyday residential primary-bedroom use.
10. How does GhostBed pricing compare to other online mattress brands?
GhostBed positions Comfort Foam and Signature Hybrid below many direct competitors on price, especially during frequent sales. Luxe Foam and 3D Matrix Hybrid sit in a higher tier that competes with other premium cooling and hybrid models, yet they still discount heavily during seasonal events such as Black Friday.
