Lab Verdict
Cooling was a wash — both mattresses landed within half a degree of each other after 60 minutes of body heat. Nectar Memory Foam isolated motion better for couples (0.06g vs. 0.13g on the GhostBed Luxe). The Nectar Memory Foam relieved more shoulder pressure for side sleepers (29 mmHg vs. 33 mmHg). Edge support also favored the GhostBed Luxe (1.8" sinkage under 230 lb vs. 2.1"). Combo sleepers will get more rebound from the GhostBed Luxe (59% bounce vs. 40%).
