So I found some "great" mattress review website that was recommended in several places across the internet as a reliable source for mattress info. Don't remember what it was anymore unfortunately. They rated Ghostbed Luxe as one of the best beds they had reviewed. I poked around on other review sites and it generally got good reviews. So I bit the bullet and spent something around $1700 USD on this thing. It was pretty comfy when we first got it, and I felt like I was sleep better and waking up with less back pain. I didn't have too high of a bar though, as I was coming off a $300 mattress I had gotten on Amazon in like 2017.

2.5-3 months in my back pain started to return but it was time for the manufacturers recommended rotating time, so I rotated it. Basically felt fine again because I was on a "new" part of the bed. I thought maybe the now-foot-side would bounce back after being less used. After 2 months on the rotated side I felt it wearing down again so I flipped it back, thinking maybe a 2mo rotation would be best. Nope, still uncomfortable on the original side. A couple flips later and it's basically only comfy for about a week after a flip now. My back pain is now WORSE than it was on my old crappy mattress. My wife, who doesn't normally have back pain or trouble sleeping is now experiencing back pain and trouble sleeping. I've had a lot of mattresses in my life, and this was not only the most expensive one, but it was also the worst.

I invested 2 grand into a mattress with the expectation that it would be better quality and last a lot longer than something cheaper. Unfortunately 9 months later I've already bought a replacement. It's a shame to throw away this basically new mattress but I don't feel right selling it to anyone because it's a piece of garbage, and it's far past Ghostbeds "101 night guarantee" (which is conveniently long enough for you to flip it once and not know how it'll be once you flip it back).

I rate this 1/10 because it was worth less than half of what my $300 mattress was but it cost me $1700. Absolute sham of a product. The pillows it came with are pretty nice though, I guess.

I see that GhostBed has pretty affordable prices. I'm wondering how long these mattresses last though. I currently own a Serta iComfort that lasted 8 years and now is sagging in the middle. Does GhostBed offer a long lasting reliable product?
