Firmness Info

On a scale of Plush to Firm, we rate the GhostBed Luxe as a 5.5 - 6.0 feel, achieving a perfect balance between firmness and a cooling soft feel.

We make one model of mattress that is designed to be universally comfortable and medium firm, in order to benefit all different types of sleepers regardless of factors such as age, height, weight, or the way you sleep. We like to describe it as firm enough to be supportive, yet soft enough to be comfortable!
We've designed our foam to work with those who like soft mattresses as well as those who like firm, so we encourage everyone to give us a try regardless of your usual preference. If you're not 100% satisfied, you can return it for a full refund.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

The GhostBed Luxe has 7 layers:

  • Ghost Ice Fabric - Cooling from the first Touch
  • 1/2" Cool fiber layer - Provides air flow
  • 1" Gel Memory Foam - Give that Ghost Hug feel
  • Ghost Ice Layer - Phase Change Technology provides all night cooling
  • 2" Gel Memory Foam - Pressure relief and heat absorption
  • 2" Ghost Bounce foam - Resilient foam: responsive like Latex and contouring like Memory Foam
  • 7.5" Support Core - Hi density for durability and longevity.

Two-layer blended foam designed by and proprietary to Tuft & Needle:

  • The comfort foam layer is 3" of a very high-density foam that we created to achieve our universally comfortable, cool and responsive properties. The density is about 2.8 lbs/cubic ft.
  • The support foam layer is 7" of a high-density poly-foam. The density is about 1.8 lbs/cubic ft.

Comfort Info

Comfort goes beyond just cooling, our Gel Memory foam layer adapts to you, relieving pressure points and eliminating motion and tossing and turning. Experience a sense of floating as our new Ghost Bounce layer gives you the buoyant support your body craves, assuring long-lasting comfort and durability.

Our foam works in three ways to draw heat from your body and disperse it out of the mattress.
Heat Wicking
Heat is drawn into the mattress where gel and graphite work together to disperse heat outward and away from your body.
Breathable
With the help of our fabric, air flows through the foam cells to boost the speed of heat transfer through the mattress.
No More Quicksand
Our support layer helps hold you closer to the surface to avoid the oven effect caused by sinking in too deeply.

Support Info

Comfort and support are accomplished through 7 different layers giving you a plush delicious feeling but still providing all the support that you need for terrific spinal health.

Designed to be one type of comfort, we are continuously tweaking the mattress to be universally comfortable for everyone. Our foam supports the natural posture of your spine, relieves back, shoulder, and neck pain and naturally breathes so you don't sleep hot.

Comfort Specs

The GhostBed Luxe core has a layer of Phase Change Material on the surface of the Gel Memory Foam - a cutting edge surface technology. While asleep, the Phase Change Material absorbs and dissipates large amounts of heat without raising the temperature of the inner foam layers. The result? The coolest night's sleep in the world.

Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam
We've engineered a new foam based purely on customer feedback, unparalleled in comfort and support. It's not memory foam or latex. It's Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam.

Support Specs

New Ghost Ice Technology fabric and foam layers gently cradle your hips, shoulders, neck and spine. Pressure-relieving Ghost Bounce & Gel Memory Foam layers are CertiPUR®-US certified and contour to your body, so you sleep soundly, in cool comfort all night long.

Supportive Base Layer
Our custom Tuft & Needle Adaptive® Foam is paired with a high-quality support layer that forms the perfect foundation for our mattress.
Our foam is ideal for sleepers of any size or weight - and this is what makes it unique. The more pressure you put on it, the more it reacts to support you.

Fabric Specs

The GhostBed Luxe 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 plush Tuft & Needle Original Mattress cover is made with a blend of micro polyamide and polyester. It has a lofty, soft feel which is very pleasant to the touch. Micro Polyamide is commonly used in clothing for men, women, and children as an alternative to cotton that dries 6-8 times faster, helping you sleep cooler, longer. With durability in mind, we've designed a fabric that will last. Our mattress cover fabric is pilling-and tearing-resistant. 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.
Add antimicrobial protection by HeiQ for an additional $50.
