FAQs

Beautyrest Black Hybrid

What is Beautyrest black hybrid made of?

The Beautyrest hybrid mattress line is composed of memory foam, foam, and pocketed coils. It includes a cool-to-the-touch cover designed for temperature control.

Does Beautyrest Black Hybrid require a box spring?

While a spring or hybrid mattress may be fine on a slatted platform bed or even the floor, foam tends to sag through the slats or squash against the ground. Therefore, it's recommended to use a box spring with your Beautyrest mattress.

Is Beautyrest black good for back pain?

The Beautyrest Black mattress is an excellent choice for alleviating back pain, provided it suits your preferred sleeping position and body weight. It is particularly suitable for average-weight stomach and back sleepers, as the foam layers allow a bit of contouring that should help alleviate tension in the back area.

GhostBed Flex Hybrid

How thick is a GhostBed Flex mattress?

The GhostBed Flex mattress is 13 inches thick, which is more than the average mattress thickness of 10 to 11 inches. This extra thickness contributes to the mattress's comfort, support, and durability.

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

You can sleep on your new GhostBed mattress almost immediately, but it can take anywhere from a few hours to a full day for the mattress to expand completely.

Is there a weight limit for the Ghostbed Flex?

The GhostBed Flex can support up to 750 lbs. when placed on a strong foundation. For customers over 300 pounds, it is recommended to purchase the King GhostBed Luxe and the companion King GhostBed All-In-One Foundation.
