GhostBed Luxe 13 Inch Memory Foam Mattress - Cooling Technology, Pressure Relief, King Size, Medium-Firm Support, CertiPUR-US Certified

Product Overview

The GhostBed Luxe measures 80 inches long by 76 inches wide with a 13-inch thickness in the King size configuration. It weighs approximately 120 pounds. Construction utilizes multiple layers of gel memory foam and specialized cooling materials. The cover incorporates Mulberry Silk with Ghost Ice Fabric woven with cooling properties. Beneath this, a half-inch cooling fiber layer sits above one inch of gel memory foam quilted into the fabric. The Ghost Ice Surface uses phase change technology to capture and store heat. The Ghost Bounce Layer provides responsive support that mimics latex while contouring like memory foam. A supportive core forms the foundation. Care requires hand washing only. The mattress ships vacuum-sealed in a compact box for easier handling through doorways and stairs. It must be placed on a flat surface like a platform bed, box spring, or wood foundation. The manufacturer rates firmness at 5.5 to 6.0 on a scale where plush is lower and firm is higher. This positions it as medium-firm. The model number is GLX01366. It is not customizable or foldable. Additional features focus on cooling and pressure relief.

Design & Build

The GhostBed Luxe features a 13-inch profile constructed from seven distinct layers. The cover uses Mulberry Silk integrated with proprietary Ghost Ice Fabric. This fabric incorporates a Japanese formulation where cooling properties are woven directly into the yarn fibers. Beneath the cover, a half-inch layer of cooling fiber provides immediate coolness upon contact. One inch of gel memory foam is quilted into the fabric for additional contouring and pressure relief. The Ghost Ice Surface layer employs phase change technology to capture and store body heat, creating a consistently cool sleeping environment. The Ghost Bounce Layer offers a unique combination of responsiveness and contouring, behaving similarly to latex while maintaining memory foam's adaptive qualities. A supportive core forms the base for durability and structure.

Materials include multiple layers of gel memory foam and specialized cooling components. The mattress measures 80 by 76 inches in King size with a 13-inch depth. It weighs 120 pounds, making it substantial but manageable with two people. The cover requires hand washing only. No mechanical parts or moving components exist in the mattress itself. Aesthetics focus on functional cooling rather than decorative elements. The bed-in-a-box packaging allows easier navigation through tight spaces. Durability relies on high-density foam layers and quality materials. Maintenance involves simple spot cleaning and proper foundation support. The non-customizable, non-foldable design prioritizes structural integrity.

Performance

Cooling performance is a central claim, with the Ghost Ice Fabric and cooling layers designed to keep sleepers cool throughout the night. Many reviewers confirm the mattress does keep you fairly cool, with one noting it stays that way all night long. The phase change technology in the Ghost Ice Surface aims to regulate temperature by storing excess heat. Pressure relief comes from the gel memory foam layers that contour to the body. The balanced 5.5 to 6.0 firmness rating provides support while maintaining a plush feel. Some reviewers find the mattress too hard, describing it as way too hard or medium firm, indicating firmness perception varies by individual. The Ghost Bounce Layer offers responsiveness that prevents deep sinking.

Leak resistance and condensation are not applicable as this is a mattress. Drop and dent resilience depend on foam density and construction quality. Trade-offs include the substantial weight and potential firmness mismatch for some sleepers. The bed-in-a-box convenience facilitates setup but requires 24-48 hours for full expansion. Real-world temperature retention appears effective based on reviewer comments about cooling. One reviewer mentioned it does keep you fairly cool despite finding it too hard. Durability concerns arise in some reviews regarding long-term support, with one user reporting back pain after eight months. Most reviews praise the cooling technology and initial comfort.
