Our products come to you in 3-5 business days via shipping courier for small parcels (such as pillows and sheets) and various larger parcels like a mattress in a box. Larger parcels (such as mattresses, beds, etc.) are delivered via our own White Glove Delivery.

Firmness info

Experience enhanced stability and support with our Spirited Edgeโ„ข design. Say goodbye to sagging sides and confidently spread out on your mattress. Whether you sleep on the edge, need support getting out of bed, or want a stable surface for daily activities, our reinforced edges hold true.

The 3-inch Purple Gridโ„ข layer is optimal for sleep position changers. Perfect balance of soft and firm for couples with mixed mattress-feel preferences who share the same bed. Petite customers (115-pounds or less) tend to prefer The Purple Premier, as their pressure points are better cradled due to a thicker Purple Grid.

ComfortOur 7-layer hybrid mattress fuses the springy support of individually-wrapped coils with the plush comfort of gel memory foam. Experience out-of-this-world comfort, with the best of both worlds. Two one inch layers of special gel-infused Memory Foam absorbs and dissipates body heat as fresh air passes through the foam.The Purple Gridโ„ข has thousands of open air channels that feel cool as you lie doown and neutralize your body heat throughout the night so you sleep comfortably all night long. Air circulates more easily through the interior coils, which perfectly complement the Grid's built-in air channels and temperature-neutral gel material.
SupportThe core of the GhostBed Flex features the patented Ghost Flex innerspring coil unit with our Spirited Edgeย™ Support design. Individual 8.5" coils create the weightless feeling you love, while wrapping them individually creates minimal motion transfer. Plus, two rows of specially reinforced coils along the edge of the bed make it easy to sit comfortably without slipping off. One inch of Ghost Flex Soft Transition Foam offers pure pressure relief. This layer of soft transition foam contours to your body and reduces the need to toss and turn. Individual coils offer the responsive support of traditional innerspring mattresses, without the worry of wearing out after just a few months. Additionally, the coils near the edge of GhostBed Flex are specially reinforced for better support - so you can sit on the edge of your bed without sliding off.The hyper-elastic polymer gel Grid immediately flexes to support your position and springs back into place as you readjust or move. The Purple Gridโ„ข is designed to dynamically flex under pressure so it cradles pressure points like your hips and shoulders while still supporting the rest of your body.A border using high density foam creates reinforced edge support. Responsive Support Coils. Individually wrapped stainless steel coils pair with the Gridโ„ข to offer dynamic pressure relief and support. Each coil is wrapped in responsibly sourced premium noise-reducing fabric. The Purple Gridโ„ข is a flexible gel material that instantly adapts to your body and sleep position, providing soft support where you want it and firm support where you need it. This material is organized in a grid formation, which creates walls that can support or fold, depending on how much pressure it receives. It's durable enough to last decades so you won't develop a body impression. And it buckles under specific pressure, which provides excellent motion isolation so you don't feel someone else move in the bed.
