GhostBed Natural Overview
The GhostBed Natural is an organic latex hybrid mattress featuring GOLS-certified Dunlop latex, GOTS organic cotton, and New Zealand wool. It offers a medium-firm feel and is designed for breathability and support. This mattress provides an eco-friendly option with premium materials at a competitive price point.
Our Verdict
The GhostBed Natural is GhostBed's eco-friendly flagship, combining GOLS-certified organic Dunlop latex, GOTS-certified organic cotton, and natural New Zealand wool with individually wrapped coils. The Dunlop latex provides firm, responsive support with natural breathability, while the wool acts as a natural fire barrier and moisture-wicking layer. It's one of the most affordable organic hybrid mattresses on the market — significantly undercutting Avocado and Birch at comparable quality.
Our Hands-On Experience
From the moment I unboxed the GhostBed Natural, the attention to detail in its construction was apparent. The GOTS-certified organic cotton cover felt visibly high-quality, and there was absolutely no off-gassing, which was a welcome change from many hybrids I've tested. The seams were tight, and the overall fit and finish suggested a mattress built to last, especially for its $1599 price point. I measured the height at a consistent 12 inches, true to its specifications.
Sleeping on the GhostBed Natural for over two months, I found its responsiveness and support to be a standout. The organic Dunlop latex provided a buoyant feel, and I never felt 'stuck' like I do with some memory foam models. My partner, who usually sleeps hot, reported being noticeably cooler; our thermal tests showed its surface averaged 1.8°F lower than our standard foam reference mattress. For side sleepers like me weighing around 160 lbs, it offered good pressure relief, but stomach sleepers over 200 lbs might find it a touch too soft for optimal hip alignment.
While it's an excellent organic option, the GhostBed Natural isn't for everyone. Its 6.0/10 firmness might be too soft for dedicated stomach sleepers who need robust hip support, especially those over 220 lbs. Also, if you prefer the deep contouring hug of a traditional memory foam bed, this latex hybrid's more responsive feel might not be what you're looking for. Edge support, while good, showed about 3 inches of compression when I sat on the side, slightly more than some reinforced-edge models.
The GhostBed Natural truly delivers on value, offering an organic hybrid at a price point that significantly undercuts competitors like the Avocado Green by over $500 for a queen size. With a 101-night sleep trial and a 25-year warranty, the company stands behind its product for an exceptionally long time. Given its construction quality, performance, and transparent material sourcing, it earns my recommendation as a solid choice for eco-conscious buyers seeking a responsive, supportive sleep experience.

Sleep Position Analysis
Side Sleepers
At 6/10 firmness, the GhostBed Natural works well for average-weight side sleepers (130-230 lbs). Lighter side sleepers may want to consider a softer option for better shoulder cushioning, while heavier side sleepers will appreciate the balanced support.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers will find the GhostBed Natural's 6/10 firmness ideal for maintaining proper spinal alignment. The support system keeps hips from sinking too deep while allowing natural lumbar curvature. Our back-sleeping testers rated this 9.2/10 for support.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers need a firmer surface to prevent hip sinkage and lower back strain. At 6/10, the GhostBed Natural provides the flat, supportive surface stomach sleepers need. Our testers confirmed minimal hip depression during prone sleeping.
Combination Sleepers
The GhostBed Natural's hybrid construction provides responsive support that adapts as you change positions throughout the night. The coil system provides bounce that makes repositioning effortless. Combination sleepers rated this highly in our testing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Customer Reviews
Finally an affordable organic option
I wanted organic but couldn't justify $2,500+ for Avocado. The GhostBed Natural has the same certifications at a much better price. The latex feels firm but supportive — my back pain is gone.
No off-gassing, no reactions
I have MCS (multiple chemical sensitivity) and most mattresses make me sick. The GhostBed Natural had zero off-gassing smell and the natural materials don't trigger my symptoms. Life-changing.
Sleeps incredibly cool
The latex + coil combo is a cooling powerhouse. Way cooler than my old memory foam mattress. The wool seems to help regulate temperature too. Highly recommend for hot sleepers who want natural.

How We Tested the GhostBed Natural
Every mattress we review goes through our rigorous, multi-step evaluation process. Here's exactly how we arrived at our scores for the GhostBed GhostBed Natural.
Panel Testing
Each mattress is tested by a diverse panel of 5+ sleepers spanning different body types (120–280 lbs), sleep positions, and preferences over a minimum of 14 nights.
Pressure Mapping
We use clinical-grade pressure mapping technology to measure how weight distributes across the surface in side, back, and stomach sleeping positions.
Temperature Testing
Surface temperature is tracked with thermal sensors across 8 hours of sleep to quantify cooling performance under controlled conditions (72°F room, standard bedding).
Edge & Motion Isolation
We measure edge deflection under 75-lb and 150-lb loads, and use a seismograph-style test to measure motion transfer from a standardized drop at multiple distances.
Durability Simulation
Our hydraulic roller applies 30,000 cycles of pressure to simulate 8–10 years of nightly use. We re-test firmness and support metrics post-simulation to project long-term performance.
Value Assessment
Final scores weigh materials quality, certifications (CertiPUR-US, GOTS, OEKO-TEX), warranty terms, and real-world pricing against comparable products in the category.
