Firmness Info

The GhostBed is a 6.5 out of 10 on the firmness scale (10 = too hard, 0 = too soft).

The Nod mattress offers a medium firmness, so it's perfectly in the middle in terms of feel. It's soft to the touch, but very supportive when you lay out on the surface as it responds to your weight.

Mattress Construction

Materials Overview

Three layer construction:

  • Top Comfort Layer 1.5" of 3.5 pound density continuous aerated latex
  • Middle Cooling Layer 2" of 4 pound density gel cooling memory foam
  • Base Support Layer 7.5" of 2 pound high density foam

Exclusive to Amazon, the Nod is 100% polyurethane foam and not comprised of their proprietary T&N Adaptive foam. It has 2 layers of construction:

  • 2.5" Comfort Layer of Responsive Foam
  • 5.5" Supportive Base Layer.

Comfort Info

GhostBed uses a proprietary formula with larger cells to make it more reactive to the body for cooler nights.

The foam used in the Nod mattress is an open-celled polyurethane foam that we engineered to have the benefits of memory foam's pressure relief and latex's support, without their drawbacks (like memory foam's sinking and sleeping hot, and latex's lack of pressure relief). That said, both memory and synthetic latex foams are subsets of polyurethane foam.

Support Info

GhostBed's advanced technology ensures that your sleep only gets better with time. As your body adjusts to Premium Latex, Gel Cooling Memory Foam and Lumbar Support Foundation Foam.

Being comfortable isn't all about a soft top layer, we designed our mattress to give you the support you need for a restful night's sleep.

Comfort Specs

Aerated Premium Latex Foam
You need premium aerated latex designed precisely for body temperature regulation with GhostBed cool burst technology. This top layer is critical for your comfort and coolness. The temperature sensitive motion activated.
This critical design principle uses continuous air intake that's scientifically cooler air has a higher density, thus containing more oxygen per volume unit than warmer air. Regulating your natural body temperature by even a few degrees is crucial for the most restorative sleep. Continuous adaptive airflow technology allows maximum performance on an individual level by adapting to your body's natural temperature, height, weight and sleep position preference.

We chose an open-cell foam which allows air to freely flow throughout the night, overcoming foam's reputation for sleeping hot.

Support Specs

Proprietary Patent Pending Sensory Cooling Gel Memory Foam
Sleep is a complex complete process. GhostBed is the only mattress that offers premium latex over proprietary patent pending adaptive sensory real-time cooling gel memory foam. GhostBed is the only scientifically proven R.E.M. Sleep optimized gel memory foam mattress available in the world.
This middle layer is crucial for elimination of all pressure points, real-time temperature regulation, continuous airflow and natural body weight support - regardless of what position you sleep in.

We designed our top layer to be adaptive without feeling like quicksand - cradling your pressure points and meeting you where you are.

Fabric Specs

The GhostBed features a removable cover made with a blend of quality fabrics, including viscose and polyester, for a plush feel. This ultra-soft washable cover keeps you cool and comfortable throughout the night by wicking away heat and moisture.

The Nod Mattress cover is a viscose/polyester blend.
