About GhostBed
GhostBed is the DTC arm of Nature's Sleep, a foam manufacturer that had been supplying mattresses for two decades before the brand launched in 2015. That means GhostBed owns its own production rather than white-labelling.
The lineup runs from the entry GhostBed Classic through the GhostBed Flex hybrid to the Luxe and 3D Matrix, which are the brand's cooling flagships and among the coolest-sleeping foam beds we have measured.
GhostBed also sells one of the more generous warranty and trial packages in the category — 101 nights and 20–25 years depending on model — plus a large accessories range in pillows, sheets, and adjustable bases.
What they make
Cooling foam and hybrid mattresses, adjustable bases, pillows, sheets, and bed frames.
Origin
American — manufactured by parent company Nature's Sleep
GhostBed Signature Technologies
Ghost Ice Fabric
A phase-change cover fabric that feels cool to the touch on contact and re-cools between sleep cycles.
3D Matrix Gel Polymer
A hexagonal gel polymer layer that channels heat away from contact points on the Luxe and 3D Matrix models.
Aerated Latex Comfort Layer
A synthetic aerated latex top layer that adds bounce and airflow above the memory foam core.
Best for
- Hot sleepers and night-sweat sufferers
- Combination sleepers who want bounce with contour
- Value shoppers — the Classic is regularly under $900 queen
- Buyers who want a matched adjustable-base bundle
Not ideal for
- Sleepers who want a plush, deep-hug feel
- Heavier stomach sleepers who need maximum firmness
- Anyone wanting a 365-night trial

GhostBed FAQ
Which GhostBed sleeps coolest?
The GhostBed Luxe and 3D Matrix. Both combine the Ghost Ice cover with a gel polymer layer; in our thermal runs the Luxe recorded the lowest peak surface temperature of any all-foam bed we have tested.
Is the GhostBed Classic firm?
Yes — it measures about 7/10 on our firmness scale, firmer than most bed-in-a-box foam beds. Back and stomach sleepers do well on it; side sleepers under 150 lb usually prefer the Luxe or Flex.
GhostBed Flex or GhostBed Luxe?
Flex is the hybrid: more bounce, better edge support, better for couples and heavier sleepers. Luxe is the all-foam cooling flagship: more contour, better temperature regulation, better for hot side sleepers.
