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.

The Zoma Sports Mattress is most comfortable for back and side sleepers, as stomach sleepers may find it too soft. Zoma's Triangulex technology makes back and side sleeping more comfortable, too, as it offers extra support for your torso and adequate cushioning for your shoulders to prevent tossing and turning and keep you sleeping soundly all night long.

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.

Designed to perform. Approved by athletes and backed by years of research, design, and testing. The Zoma Mattress delivers enhanced rest and rejuvenation for individuals with demanding lifestyles. A three layer construction:

  • Triangulex™ zoned gel memory foam layer
  • Reactiv™ responsive foam layer
  • Support+ base foam layer.

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.

Zoma mattress materials are made with Variable Pressure Foaming, a process that produces naturally open-cell foams. This helps reduce the buildup of uncomfortable heat and moisture.

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.

The Zoma is a memory foam mattress designed to help athletes sleep deeper and recover faster, but even if you aren't an athlete, you can benefit from Zoma’s sleep-promoting technologies. Equipped with contouring memory foam for cushioning comfort and responsive support foam to prevent sinkage, the Zoma has everything you need to help you get the sleep you need to perform your best day-to-day.

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.

The Reactiv layer of is designed with enough bounce and responsiveness to keep you lifted in the mattress instead of sinking uncomfortably far into the bed. Plus, this layer isolates motion, so you can toss and turn as much as you want without disturbing a sleeping partner.

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.

The Zoma Triangulex layer includes 3 zones (Head & Shoulders, Hips & Lower Back and Upper & Lower Legs zones) that help to reduce acute pressure on the mid-body and lead to overall better spinal alignment during side-sleeping. The Triangulex is made up of hundreds of triangular segments spaced according to the strategic comfort zones.
Reactiv™ responsively contours to the body to minimize motion transfer and provide continuous support. The result? An undisturbed rest and active recovery.
Support+ is the high-density base for the Zoma mattress. It provides consistent, reliable pressure relief for the hips and shoulders, while maintaining the spine's natural alignment.

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.

The Zoma Sports Mattress is wrapped in a breathable fabric that wicks away heat and moisture, helping you stay cool throughout the night. This breathable mesh fabric cover is made of 97% polyester and 3% spandex.
