GhostBed 3D Matrix vs Bestselling Tuft & Needle Mint

The GhostBed 3D Matrix is a 5.5 to 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale (10 = too hard, 0 = too soft). The feel is slightly softer than the GhostBed and similar to the Flex.

Generally speaking, we describe both of our mattresses as medium-firm in feel. However, we also understand even that description can be subjective. Two people sleeping on the same mattress might have contrasting opinions - it could be too soft, too firm, or just right. That's why we offer our 100-night sleep trial to ensure every person has the opportunity to decide if the Tuft & Needle mattress is the right fit for them, and return it if it's not.

The new 13" GhostBed 3D Matrix hybrid mattress has patented 3D Matrix Technology. This exclusive Gel Polymer layer scientifically adjusts to your individual body shape and temperature. The mattress is a seven layer construction:

• Cooling Cover
• 3D Matrix Polymer Layer
• 1" Gel Memory Foam
• 1" Ghost Bounce Layer (Special Gel-Infused Memory Foam)
• 1" Ghost 3D Matrix Soft Transition Foam
• 8.5" Individually Wrapped & Reinforced Support Coils
• 1" High Density Support Foam.

Our Tuft & Needle Mattress is the original, universally comfortable mattress that changed an entire industry. Mint® is everything that makes the original great, with exciting new features:

• 3" Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (3.5lb density) infused with ceramic gel
• 2" Tuft & Needle Adaptive® foam (3.0lb density) infused with graphite
• 6.5" High-density polyurethane foam foundation (1.8lb density)
• Four sides of edge support (1.8lb density).

3D Matrix Polymer Layer offers 3 dimensions of comfort:

• The 3D Matrix layer is an integrated thermal conductive gel polymer. As excess heat accumulates under and around the sleeper, it is absorbed into 3D Matrix layer. As a fully connected sheet, that absorbed heat travels away from the sleeper.
• Conventional Foam layers comfort you by compressing as different parts of the body "press" on the foam. The 3D Matrix layer is an omni directional layer which stretches in all directions to mold and contour to each individual part of the sleeper's body.
• The 3D Matrix layer is ergonomically designed which allows the sleeper to sleep on the mattress, NOT in it.

1. More Graphite
30% extra graphite maximizes cooling, sweeping 50% more heat away from the body.
2. Higher Quality Gel
Upgraded Ceramic Gel absorbs 5 times more heat than conventional blue-gel products.
3. Open Cell Technology
Our open-cell foam technology is designed to allow air to flow freely through the mattress, increasing breathability.

The core of the GhostBed 3D Matrix features the patented Ghost 3D Matrix innerspring coil unit with our Spirited Edge™ support Design. With two rows of specially reinforced coils along the edge of the bed make it easier to sit comfortably without slipping off the edge plus you can sleep right on the edge without feeling like you'll fall off.

The three layers in the Mint® Mattress work together to provide remarkable support that you'll find comfortable immediately as well as throughout the night. We increased the softness of the top layer for better pressure relief, increased the firmness of the bottom support layer (for edge support), and added a middle transitional layer to keep you from "bottoming" out.

The GhostBed 3D Matrix Mattress features the exciting new 3D Matrix technology. This new comfort layer technology is revolutionary because it automatically bio-adjusts to two different body shapes and body temperatures at the same time, creating the ideal sleeping environment for both sleepers. The 3D Matrix layer automatically bio-adjusts to both sleep partners through simultaneous heat diffusion and weight distribution - two critical elements in sound sleep. The 3D Matrix allows excess heat is drawn away from the body. The Gel Polymer layer stretches in all directions conforming to the body without causing it to sink into the mattress.
Gel-infused Memory Foam absorbs and dissipates body heat as fresh air passes through the foam.

1. Comfy Top Layer
We optimized the top layer of Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam to be a progressive combination of comfy and pressure relieving.
2. Cozy Cover
A new thick, knit cover adds durability and coziness.
3. Pressure Relief
Our progressive support and super comfortable top layers are designed to remove pressure points and bring relief.

The 3D Matrix ensures body weight is distributed evenly, relieving pressure and reducing the body's need to reposition itself, allowing each sleeper to wake up well rested, free of aches and pains, and energized to embrace the coming day.
Ghost 3D Matrix Soft Transition Foam is one inch of pure pressure relief. This layer contours to your body and reduces the need to toss and turn.
Individually wrapped coils provide that sturdy, responsive support of traditional innerspring mattresses you're used to.

1. Progressive Support
Ordering our layers in a gradual firmness combines comfort and support. The more you push, the more it pushes back to meet you.
2. More Gel Beads
30% more gel beads in our second layer add cushion-like support.
3. More Edge Support
Our improved, firmer base layer adds comfortable edge support.

Featuring the same cover used in other GhostBed models, the cover contains a proprietary formulation developed in Japan where cooling properties are woven directly into the fibers of the yarn, creating the Ghost Ice Fabric. The Ghost Ice Fabric is instantly cool to the touch, and will absorb and trap heat that is released by the body. Molecular changes in the fabric will neutralize the heat, keeping the sleeping surface cool.

Our ultra plush Mint® Mattress cover is made with polyester and viscose. It has a super soft, cozy touch and adds just a hint of cushion. Viscose is commonly known as rayon and is used in clothing. We ask that customers do not remove our cover at any time, as the cover is not designed to be removed for any reason. The zipper on the bottom of the mattress is for assembly only.
