Firmness Info

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.

Firm feel top of the bed you need - no sink or give. Comfortable, yet solid under your body. Extra support - best for back and stomach sleepers, or side sleepers with larger body types. A 8-9 on the firmness scale.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

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.

The Dawn offers extra support and a firm feel, it has four layers of construction:

  • Cover: Helix Two Touch Design
  • Comfort Layer: Helix Dynamic Foam (Density: 2.45 PCF)
  • Transition Layer: High-Grade Polyfoam
  • Body Shape Layer: 6" Wrapped Coils
  • Base Layer: DuraDense Foam.

Comfort Info

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.

Support Info

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.

Specially designed using proprietary Helix Dynamic Foam to react to your body shape and aid recovery.
Density of the top and middle layers optimized to give you extra support based on your body type.

Comfort Specs

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.

Our special latex-foam hybrid alternative, designed to react and contour to your body.

Support Specs

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.

High-Grade Polyfoam
Providing ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a higher IFD to match your body type. Extra support.
Wrapped Coils
Hundreds of individual coils help to cradle your body while also limiting motion transfer.
Edge Support
Each mattress has an individually wrapped spring unit with a reinforced perimeter. This means your mattress will reduce that roll-off feeling and will keep its shape more while sitting on the edge of the bed. Our technology is proven to be substantially better than all foam options.

Fabric Specs

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.

Helix Two Touch Design
Each mattress comes with a top cover layer with stretch and a soft touch as well as a lower cover layer for airflow and breathability. Top cover - 100% soft polyester. Lower cover - Jersey knit fabric with woven fire barrier.
Upgrade to ultra cool knit cover for cooler nights (available at checkout). This Ultra-Cool Cover is designed using phase change material to keep your body cool when you sleep. Simply zip on the Ultra-Cool Cover in place of your standard cover for quick and easy use.
