GhostBed 12” California King Hybrid Mattress, Pocketed Coils & Gel Memory Foam Mattress, Medium Firm

I received my first Ghost Bed around a decade ago as a Christmas gift from my mother. I convinced her to invest in a hybrid mattress to help prevent waking up each morning with both arms stiff and fingers locked into claws that throbbed with painful. pins-and-needles due to worsening degenerative disc disease affecting my cervical spine. Within days of switching mattresses I was no longer experiencing painful, debilitating symptoms for hours after waking. Not only did it offer enough support to help prevent harmful sleep positions, there was plenty of give, allowing the mattress to gently shape to my curves. I fell in love immediately. When I had to leave an abusive marriage in 2023, I had somewhere safe to go and help to move there, but not the kind of help that could transport a hybrid King Ghost Bed that had already been in place for years by that point. At the same time, I knew that I couldn't sleep on just *any* mattress or I risked going back to losing hours of each day before my arms were functional. After a lot of agonizing over the decision, I ordered another mattress - the Flex Hybrid - and had it delivered to the new place. I was anxious that I wouldn't like it as much as my previous mattress, but now, after about two years of use, 100 pounds lost, and partners come and gone and then come again, I can report that I like the Flex Hybrid as much, if not more than, my previous GhostBed. Both my partner and I are multiply disabled: both AuDHD (I am hyper-sensitive to both touch and temperature, which is one of the reasons I chose a cooling mattres. No regrets!), them with a previously broken back, a leg that's got a nasty spiral break, and chronic pain of all sorts, me with degenerative disk disease, herniated disks, fibromyalgia, unable to lay on either hip for an extended length of time, narcolepsy type 2, night terrors, sleep apnea, and on and on. We both feel like the Flex has improved our average daily pain levels and helped us to feel marginally more rested than other mattresses we've had, and we've both gone through a list of expensive mattresses in our lifetimes. I don't foresee going back now that I've tried a hybrid mattress. The only major drawback that I can think of is that they are heavy and - if you're talking a King mattress - extremely unweildy. Once unrolled and fully pluffed up, expect to need several sturdy people to move it again. Even given that, I'd still choose another GhostBed.
