Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

The 9" PacBed Original is back and better than ever! Leaner and lighter than the 11" version, the PacBed Lite still offers the great comfort and support that you expect from the PacBed, but at a lighter price. A 2-layer construction:

  • 3" 3lb Density CoolRest® Advanced Gel-Infused Memory Foam
  • 6" 2lb Density High Quality Support Foam
  • Smooth Knit Cover.

If you've always loved traditional innerspring mattresses, but you're tired of wearing a groove in every mattress after just a couple of years, the GhostBed Flex is made for you. The GhostBed Flex has 7 layers:

  • Ghost Ice Fabric - Smooth, silky viscose-polyester blend
  • 1" Cool Fiber Layer - Creates air flow so you sleep cooler
  • 1" Gel Memory Foam - Gives that Ghost Hug feel
  • 1" Gel Memory Foam - Relieves pressure and wicks away heat
  • 1" Ghost Flex Soft Transition Foam - Reduces the urge to toss and turn
  • 8 .5" Individually Wrapped Support Coils - Enjoy the sturdy, responsive support of the traditional innerspring mattresses you're used to
  • 1" High Density Support Foam - Extra support and durability from the base up.

Comfort Info

Support foam created to work in tandem with our CoolRest® Gel memory foam and provide perfect support for consistent and long lasting comfort.

Our 7-layer hybrid mattress fuses the springy support of individually-wrapped coils with the plush comfort of gel memory foam. Experience out-of-this-world comfort, with the best of both worlds.

Support Info

High quality support foam designed to support and correctly align your spine so you can sleep better with less tossing and turning.

The core of the GhostBed Flex features the patented Ghost Flex innerspring coil unit with our Spirited Edge™ Support design. Individual 8.5" coils create the weightless feeling you love, while wrapping them individually creates minimal motion transfer. Plus, two rows of specially reinforced coils along the edge of the bed make it easy to sit comfortably without slipping off.

Comfort Specs

Open cell structure increases air flow, contributing to a cooler sleep.
3 lb density memory foam rebounds (takes it shape) quicker making it easier to change positions.

Two one inch layers of special gel-infused Memory Foam absorbs and dissipates body heat as fresh air passes through the foam.

Support Specs

CoolRest® advanced gel-infused memory foam perfectly contours to your body providing improved pressure relief to reduce tossing and turning.

One inch of Ghost Flex Soft Transition Foam offers pure pressure relief. This layer of soft transition foam contours to your body and reduces the need to toss and turn.
Individual coils offer the responsive support of traditional innerspring mattresses, without the worry of wearing out after just a few months. Additionally, the coils near the edge of GhostBed Flex are specially reinforced for better support - so you can sit on the edge of your bed without sliding off.

Fabric Specs

Soft polyester knit cover for comfort and stretch, perfect for memory foam. Polyester fabrics and fibers are incredibly strong and durable, resists abrasion and dries quickly. Breathable for better temperature control. Accentuates the memory foam feel.

Cooling fiber is woven directly into the cover to help create airflow. Topped with Ghost Cooling Fabric for a refreshing feel.
