FAQs

GhostBed Flex

How thick is a GhostBed Flex mattress?

The GhostBed Flex mattress is 13 inches thick, providing extra comfort, support, and durability compared to average mattresses.

How long does it take for a GhostBed Flex to expand?

While you can sleep on your new GhostBed Flex almost immediately, it can take a few hours to a full day for the mattress to fully expand.

Is there a weight limit for the Ghostbed flex?

Douglas

How often should I rotate my mattress?

It is recommended to rotate mattresses every 4 to 6 months. This is particularly important if there is a significant weight difference between the people using the bed. Rotating a mattress involves turning it 180 degrees, effectively making the foot of the bed the head, and vice versa. This allows the mattress surface to recover from prolonged body indentations, contributing to its longevity.

Is the Douglas mattress good for back pain?

Yes, the Douglas mattress, with its medium-firm feel, is often recommended for individuals experiencing back pain. This firmness level aids in maintaining proper spinal alignment.

Is the Douglas mattress hot?

The Douglas mattress uses Tencel fabric in its cover to draw moisture away from the body, aiding in cooling. However, individuals who are prone to overheating may still find it too warm.
