Comfort Tech's Owner Satisfaction
Some are very pleased with the sleep they get from these mattresses., but others have described not feeling as satisfied. There were some negative feedback thrown in with the positive. Get more information below to see if one of these mattresses will work for you.
Comfort Tech's Supportiveness
A supportive mattress that properly cradles the body is what you need for a better night's sleep. If you aren't supported by your bed, you are not likely getting the kind of sleep that you could be getting from a mattress that aligns the spine. Most customers found the support to be good for them, but some had issues with lasting comfort.
Edge Support
These mattresses offer good edge support, which is welcomed for those that like to sit on the side of the bed. Some folks that have larger builds may still experience some dipping along the sides.
Comfort Tech's Durability
Having a mattress that is great for durability can save you thousands. Sadly, in this day and age, everything from bedding to clothes degrades faster. Customers have mixed feelings about the durability of these mattresses. Each mattress is different in how it affects you individually and may feel comfortable for you for years, but others have reported not being so lucky. Make sure to read more about these before purchasing.
Ghostbed's Owner Satisfaction
Customers feel comfortable with these mattresses overall and they get high ratings. Some customers, though, didn't feel as positively. If one of these mattresses is on your short list, make sure to read more about these mattresses below to make sure it will work for you.
Ghostbed's Supportiveness
These mattresses are well rated for support versus many other competitors. The materials they use offer resilience in aligning the spine and help most sleepers feel comfortable in most sleeping positions. Reviewers are keen on describing these mattresses as supportive and and describe that there is good initial resilience in the material.
Edge Support
Edge support is important when you are sitting or lying close to the side and are used to having a comfortable ledge. These mattresses have good edge support for those that need it.
Bowling Ball & Density Tests
The bowling ball test helps measure the firmness and even support of a mattress. These mattresses are resilient across the mattress and offer an even firmness throughout.
Ghostbed's Durability
We all want a comfy mattress that lasts a long time, but some brands focus more on shipping product than they do about quality. That said, these mattresses get high marks from sleepers on durability. Most folks will find that they are happy with their mattress after 5 to 7 years, but some heavier people may discover that their mattress breaks down faster than average.

The price is right!
After being deeply disappointed in an overpriced Beautyrest mattress we thought we would try a memory foam as these seem to be the highest rated and with $100. off the price, it was worth a try. It was (surprisingly) firm to us, a little too firm. The next night I put a 3 inch memory foam topper ( already had it) on and it is perfect for us now. Our previous mattress had sagged after a few months and the manufacturer replaced it as guaranteed, but only with the same exact mattress! What is the use of that?? At least if this happens I have Costco's return policy and it was only $400 bucks not $2000. So far so good. I will follow up in two months.

Exactly what we were looking for, comfort like no other twin mattress.
We bought queen size Comfort Tech 10'' Serene Performance Foam mattress about eight months ago. It is very comfortable and feels almost soft to the touch but once you lay down on it it cradles your body without sinking into a hole. The Medium density description fits the bill. My husband is 6' and weighs 170 lb and I am 5'4'' and weigh 120 lb. Also I don't sweat at night which I used to on our previous foam mattress. The only small minus is that the edges are softer than on our older mattress which might be an issue for some people.
Good Sleep
I bought this mattress for based on 2 reasons, price and reviews. Having never slept on a foam mattress, I was skeptical about this purchase. I decided that based on the price ($350 on sale) it was worth a try. After the first night I knew I had a winner. Two months of use and I am still waking up feeling rested. As a side sleeper, my arm and hips no longer ache in the morning. As a tummy sleeper, my wife's back doesn't ache in the morning either. We couldn't be happier. So glad that we didn't spend hundreds more for a traditional spring bed.
Love this mattress!
We bought this mattress several months ago, after researching mattresses for far too long! Desperate for a new mattress, and overwhelmed by the information and options available, we decided that this one was so inexpensive, it wouldn't be a risk to just buy it. We were unhappy with the uneven wear of traditional springs. Nor did we care for the 'stuck' feeling of memory foam. This mattress is a joy to sleep on! It is supportive and cushioning. I disagree with the review that says it holds the impression of your body. Ours does not do that at all. It is absolutely nothing like the memory foam mattresses we slept on in the past.
My new favorite mattress!
The great reviews for this mattress gave me the courage to order it sight unseen and I'm so happy I did/ Shipping took a little longer than expected but customer service was great. I don't know if I would have bought this if I'd just sat down on it in a store as it feels really firm at first and my last mattress was a pillowtop. With that being said, I love this. I can toss and turn in bed and not wake up my husband. I don't wake up with any aches or kinks in my body. Normal sheet sets fit it perfectly. When it was hot, I didn't feel like the mattress was guarding any of our body heat. I will definitely be replacing future mattresses in our house with this brand and buying one for the travel trailer! Warning: Definitely do not open the plastic wrap until you have the mattress in the room where you want it. That sucker just swells right up and it's harder to move because it doesn't have the traditional binding/edges like other mattresses.
feels just right
I was skeptical because of the price but we loved it from the first night! More comfortable than our Temper-Pedic
Great buy for the price
Bought this mattress based on my friend's recommendation and the reviews here. It came in a small box and came to full size once opened. It had a chemical smell for the first 2-3 days but disappeared eventually. It is medium as listed, not firm. It sinks when you sit on it, but when you sleep you won't sink and feel relaxed. When you press it, it reacts lot quicker than a memory foam mattress, so you change positions easily. The mattress is great for side, back or stomach sleepers. We have been using it since 2 weeks. We are loving it and are having sound sleep every night. It doesn't feel hot when I sleep on it. We tried many mattress at stores and were skeptical to buy online. I thought of giving a try before buying at store, because of Costco's great return policy, but I wanna keep it since it's great and cheaper. I recommend this product. It's a genuine review and I was not paid to write this.
We have had this mattress
We have had this mattress for a little over a year and both my side and my husbands side of the bed have sunken in. This has caused the middle of the mattress to be higher than the sides so if you try to lay near the middle, you feel yourself rolling towards the edge of the bed. Also, though they say this mattress is Medium firmness, we would say it's slightly more on the soft side. Would not recommend this at all. I hope to be able to return this, but not sure if I can since we've had it for a year.
Great at first... 1 year 5 months later...
Bought this mattress Feb 2016, it was awesome at first. Agree with most reviews on quality of sleep but not so much on firmness. So if you sit at the edge of the mattress you will squish it all the way down. If you kneel on it, your knees will sink all the way down. But when you lay on it, weather on your back, stomach or side, the mattress will distribute your weight evenly and hugging you confortably for a great nite of sleep. It is truly amazing!!! I sleep in all 3 positions. On my old mattress if on my side, I'd wake up with aching hips and shoulders. Not on this mattress though. Instant relief very first night. It is now July 2017, and for the past 6 months I'd say, this mattress does NOT feel like it did at first. I rotated it according to instructions. But it's just not the same. According to the manufacturer description, it will feel softer as it ages. My wife and I however come to the conclusion the opposite is happening. The mattress feel as it gotten harder. It no longer conforms to our bodies giving us that even weight distribution I first described. And I am starting to pick up on pressure point when I sleep on my side. Wife and I have contacted Costco to arrange return. Haven't decided if will simply exchange for same model or get a refund and try different brand. Oh, also it claims to be cool, but it is not. We found it to be quite warm.
Great for a while..
I have had this mattress for 8 months. I would say the first 5 months it was great! However, after waking with terrible back pain, I noticed how bad it was sagging. I tried several toppers and pads and it just didn't help. I always turned the mattress (it can't be flipped) and still didn't help. Could be good for an occasional guest bed, but not for everyday sleeping. I have to start the mattress search over again...
Comfortable memory foam
If you like memory foam in general, this mattress feels soft and relieves pressure. I would rate it about a 5 on the firmness level, with 10 being the highest. So it is a little softer than some other leading brands, which was a plus for me. If you are not sure about the idea of Serene Foam vs memory foam...it definitely feels like memory foam. It leaves the classic indentation where you have just been lying. People that are used to memory foam will most likely love it, if they like a plush feel. I, however am not and didn't like feeling stuck. I used Costco's return policy with absolutely no problems. They did just what their policy stated they would do.
Comfortable
We were hesitant to buy a foam mattress. This one sleeps cool, very comfortable. Didn’t find it overly soft, it’s a medium support in my opinion. Unwraps and fills quickly. No odor.
Wonderful!
We bought this for our toddler who was moving into a twin bed. It is so, so comfortable. He loves it-along with everyone else in the house! Mattress was easy to unpackage and was ready to go in moments after expanding. Would highly recommend-such a great price! Would certainly purchase another when needed!
Mattress is okay but...
We purchased two Twin XL a couple of months ago for our adjustable twin frames. They are supposed to be medium firm but would have to disagree and lean towards soft. As of yet I have not noticed any defects and I will have to take a closer look and report back. The mattress is too soft so not sure what I will do.
Good buy
Very comfortable. Great price
comfort plus
I bought this mattress for my 15 year old grandson. He absolutely loves this thing!! He said he is sleeping so much better, and he wanted us to come over and try it ourselves. He was right. It is extremely comfortable.
Perfect fit!
My husband and I bought this mattress 1 momyhsgo after sleeping on the same one in a spare bedroom at my friends house. It’s the perfect mix of firm with some give. First time my husband and I have been able to agree on a mattress!
Great value
I bought the Serene Medium foam mattress a few months ago, after I moved into a new house, for the guest room. I had originally bought an I-comfort mattress and box springs for my master bedroom at a furniture store and could not get a full night sleep on it. This mattress cost one third of what I paid for the one in my room and it is just so much more comfortable that I have moved it into my room and the guests will have to make do with the other one. The Comfort Tech was advertised as not too firm and not too soft. In a few words, it is Just Right.
Feels firm, yet comfortable.
We bought this for my son. It is firmly supportive and he loves it. I was thinking about purchasing the firm mattress for my husband and me, but the medium is firm enough. I have sat on it and it doesn't sink, or leave a lasting imprint. My injured tailbone wasn't bothered. We highly recommend this mattress.
Good mattress
Very happy with the mattress, process and delivery.
Great rest!
I bought this abut a month ago for my son, he loves it!
Firm but not hard
I love this mattress. It's firm but not hard or uncomfortable.
We received our comfort tech
We received our comfort tech on December 8th, and have had the best nights sleep ever. The quality and comfort of this mattress goes without saying. We are full time RVers and travel a lot so a good night sleep is extremely important. All we say is this is the best mattress we have ever owned.
Bought it for my son
Bought it for my son. So far he is happy with it. He said it keeps him cool around his body. So, he sleeps well.
Very Comfortable
When I first opened the mattress, it comes flat with the air squeezed out, it seemed way too soft. One day later it was perfect so don't be upset at first. Costco had this on sale which made it even a better deal.
My son loves his new mattress.
Mattress unfolded nicely, little initial odor. He slept on it right away and is quite happy to have upgraded.
Amazing bed
We bought our king and my daughter loved it so much she bought the queen and loves it!
Great quality
I had really good sleeps on this mattress.
Purchased September 2018. Delivered in about 1 week. Unpacked left open to air out Then put in bed . It’s great my son loves it !
Comfortable
Very good quality
Feeling comfortabl to sleep, Firm foam and sleep w
Bought this 2 weeks ago for my youngest son He loved it because he used to have a back pain of the old mattress, Firm foam made him fall asleep easily. Thanks God we got it
Good choice between, not to soft and not to hard
Provides firm support, especially at the edges, while supporting my back. This mattress is a good choice for "side sleepers"
Excellent Product !!
Bought this last year for my camper, and now I have them in my home. Very comfortable, Love it !
Great bed!
The mattress arrived in a box all rolled up and sealed. We rolled it out on the trailer bed board. It is not at full height right away but within a couple of hours it was perfect. I did buy a good mattress pad to protect it. It is firm, not hard though. We are both big people and I was worried about the past purchase we made of a foam mattress that we sunk into, making it hot and no support. All my worries about purchasing something sight and touch unseen were alleviated knowing we could return it. No risk here The first night we both slept very comfortably. No sinking in. No sore pressure points in the morning and not hot at all. This bed is as comfortable as our bed at home yay!!!
Super Comfortable
I have bought these mattresses on 4 separate occasions. Eveyone who sleeps on them loves them.
Super comfy!
I bought the bed three weeks ago and the mattress is very comfortable to sleep on!
GREAT PURCHASE!
Needing to replace mattress in newly purchased Motorhome and without being able to try it out first we were very pleased that 1.shipping time was as stated, 2.mattress is quite comfortable as well. Would do it again if need be.
We are very pleased
We are very pleased with this mattress. We purchased it for our family bunkhouse and it is working very well in that setting. We have recommended to our daughter already. Seems like a very good value for the money.
so far so good
Have only had mattress for a few weeks, seems to be comfortable, and nice for the price. was easy to open and after just a few minutes was ready for use. Time will tell how it will be long term.
Bought two
Bought two of them for my daughters about a month ago. Very happy with them. Great mattress for a great price.

Not what I dreamt
Though the Ghost bed is way better than what we had, it is not as comfortable as we expected. The first week was great. But after that, the back and hip pain was back,though not as bad. The Ghost bed is much too firm for me.
Love it!
I’ve had my Ghost Bed for a little over a month and it’s been a great experience! I had forgotten to apply my promo code and checkout, and the customer service team was an incredible help at getting it applied and getting me refunded for the additional amount. The bed is incredibly comfortable and feels like laying down on a cloud at the end of a long day. I got two pillows as well and they’re great at keeping me cool throughout the night.
Comfortable bed

Must have this bed!
After 7 years of sleeping on a hand me down queen mattress, me and my wife finally said it was time for a new bed. We looked all over, shopped all the stores and online. We then came across this bed called a ghost bed! Let me tell you, this bed has changed our sleep and our mornings. We now don't wake up all sore and stiff but now instead we feel so well rested and ready for our day. Thank you ghost bed, I highly recommend this bed to anyone searching for that great night sleep and a wonderful morning. Thank you again!
Super comfortable
I chose this bed because it was highly rated yet firmer than many other similar brands. It arrived and opened up to full size and shape very quickly, with almost no foam odor. We’ve been sleeping comfortably ever since!
Awesome
Love the bed and good customer service
Best ever
I bought this bed and ordered the wrong size by drunkin stupidness the customer service was amazing and had the right size back within the week, amazing products, amazing company, and great people!
The new love of my life: king size mattress review
My husband and I recently purchased a king size ghostbed mattress. For both of us it was the first new mattress we have ever owned. It is the most comfortable mattress we have ever slept on. When we get home from work we (including my toddler) go straight to the bed to watch tv in the room while sitting on it. Our family can't get enough of this super comfy bed. We are loving it and it is the new love of my life! THANK YOU GHOSTBED!!!!
Amazing night's sleep
The hands down best bed I have ever slept on.
Ghost has the most
Very comfortable I look forward to laying on it each night to sleep. It is comfortable and already so much better than the 400 dollar mattress I purchased.
It’s a yes for me!
I wasn’t really worried when I started reading the reviews and the return policy. Worth it!
Love this best after many
Love this best after many years of having a used mattress the ghost bed was life changing. I actually wake up feel well rested instead of tossing and turning all night.
Works Great
I have severe arthritis. My old bed was soft but not supportive. This is firmer -which worried me at first- but is just what I needed.
Great bed
We love this bed! Im now able to sleep on my back with no pain and my husband has stopped waking up sore. I would definitely recommend this bed!
Fabulous!!!!
Fabulous!!!!
Amazing price, Amazing bed
I couldn't be happier. I have neuropathy in my feet from chemotherapy and have to have my feet elevated anytime I'm not standing. I've been using a pillow under my feet for elevation and it hasn't always been comfortable. My kids said they'd buy me an adjustable bed for Christmas and I researched and researched. I didn't want them spending a lot of money. This bed was very reasonable so I decided to purchase it. Wow! I've only slept on it for 3 nights so far and I've slept 11 hours each night. The zero gravity position is perfect for my neuropathy. I love to sleep on my side and back and this bed is perfect for that. I can honestly say that I'm in love with my bed! However, I'm not a T-shirt kinda gal but love to wear them with leggings but they have to be extremely oversized. If you have a 3x to send me, I'll wear it and advertise for you.
Love this mattress!
We are very pleased with this purchase! It’s a very comfortable mattress.
great bed
I brought this bed for my son for Christmas he says it is like sleeping on a cloud, he loves his new bed. He is thirty years old and says it is the best bed he has ever had. Might get myself one also when my present bed needs changing.
Queen size ghost bed
Since I purchased the ghost bed I have been getting a better nights sleep and do not wake up during the night and am also sleeping longer. I am also awaking more refreshed and not in pain. This has been a very good purchase and I will recommend this bed to everyone.
Ghost bed
The bed is awesome!!
Ghost bed
So far, I would rate the ghost bed queen size a 4 Star, because I have slept on it only one night but I have no complaints. I will follow up with a more detailed review in a month or so. The ghost pillows on the other hand, are amazing. I have used the pillow for about a month now and will never use another pillow any time soon, that is for sure. You really have to try it to see what I am talking about because I cannot explain in words how amazing the pillow is.
No more back pain
I have been waking up with a sore back for the past year. After only a couple nights of sleep on my ghostbed my back is no longer sore.
Best Bed by far
This is the best bed I have ever owned and probably ever slept in. I usually don’t sleep well at night but this bed has made a world of difference. If you are thinking about getting one get it and it will change your sleep.

Great bed to bad I still don't have my pillows :/ they need to switch shipping carriers!
Awesome
Best nights sleep I have had in years!
Incredible value!
I can’t say enough good things about this mattress. It was so easy to buy and set up. The only complaint I have is that now I can’t wait to go to bed every night! It’s so comfortable.
Best purchase we made in 2017!
We bought the king-size Ghostbed based solely on the Consumer Reports recommendation, and boy, did it pay off! Some of my aches and pains are gone (*gone!*), and it's just such a comfortable night's sleep for both of us. My husband and I were on vacation last week at a pretty nice resort, but we realized — the bed, even in a nice hotel, wasn't half as comfortable as our Ghostbed at home. So glad we made the leap of faith!
Good
My husband has no more back ache
I love the bed very
I love the bed very Comfortable
Good night! Really!
All the little aches and pains I used to wake up with - and just considered part of the aging process - have disappeared. I have never slept so well. It’s always been the accepted belief that the elderly slept fewer hours at night. Not if they have a GhostBed! Best investment ever!
This bed is ridiculously comfortable. All my previous back-shoulder pain has been relieved.
I was told I’d get two free pillows with my purchase of a bed shortly after January 1. When my bed arrived, there were no pillows. What the fuck?
good stuff
Mattress is great, pillows are a bit too stiff for me to sleep on but great for propping me up when watching TV in bed.
Ghostbed review
The bed is amazing, it set up quick. And so far has done really well with it being cold in our house! The pillows are also super comfortable!
Have Enjoyed Bed
I have really enjoyed my new Ghost Bed. The whole process or ordering was super easy and incredibly fast. The softness of the bed is a perfect fit for me. The only issue I'm having with the bed is that it is sleeping a little hot and I am waking up sweating very often.
Ghostbed Queen Matress
We’ve only had the mattress for over a month therefore only 4 stars because I dont know how it will hold up after a year. I’m assuming we wont have any problem with sagging and etc. The box arrived promptly and it was easy to bring up to my second floor appartment. We opened the box and got the mattress out of the shwrink wrap and placed it on our queen platform bed. Very easy. And within an hour, at the most it had regained its shape. I love it and so far my sleeping experience is very good.
So giving it a try.
Well I am giving it the 31 day trial. My lower back has been sore after waking up. I read some reviews and this is a common complaint. So if not better then I will be asking for refund/return.
I love my Ghost Bed.
I've had my king size Ghost Bed for about a month now and love it. I've been sleeping through the night consistently since receiving it. Great bed, much better than my old sleep number.
Wonderlust sleep
It’s amazing! You’ll feel like your floating. It’s firm but soft at the same time. I’ve had back problems for many years. This bed has minimized those pains and aches. I feel refreshed in the morning. I don’t want to leave my new bed. Yes, it’s that good
