Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

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.

The Midnight offers balanced support and a medium feel, it has four layers of construction:

  • Cover: Helix Two Touch Design
  • Comfort Layer: Memory Plus Foam (Density: 2.5 PCF)
  • Transition Layer: High-Grade Polyfoam
  • Body Shape Layer: 6" Wrapped Coils
  • Base Layer: DuraDense Foam.

Comfort Info

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

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.

Specially designed using a Memory Plus Foam pressure relief layer to cushion your pressure points as a side sleeper.
Density of the top and middle layers optimized to give you the right amount of support based on your body type.

Comfort Specs

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

Uniquely pressure relieving, we use Memory Plus Foam - a special Helix blend.

Support Specs

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.

High-Grade Polyfoam
Providing ergonomic support and cushioning, the transition layer has a medium IFD to match your body type.
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

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

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.
