FAQs

Ghost SmartBed

How do I assemble the Ghost Smartbed 3d Matrix?

Setting up the Ghost SmartBed 3D Matrix® is straightforward. You'll receive two boxes: one with the pump and another with the mattress. First, unbox and unroll your mattress to allow it to expand. Then, follow the instructions in the User Guide or Setup Video to connect the pump and air chambers. Lastly, download the GhostBed App and complete the final steps within the app.

Where do I download the Ghost Smartbed App?

The Ghost SmartBed app can be downloaded from the Android or iOS app stores using any personal Android or iOS device. Each side of the bed can be controlled separately by you and your partner using individual apps.

Does the Ghost Smartbed require a WIFI network?

No, the Ghost SmartBed does not require a WiFi network. It comes with its own WiFi chip, allowing for a direct connection if you prefer not to connect it to your home network.

BedInABox Original

What sleep setup do you recommend for my BedInABox?

Each BedInABox® mattress is designed to work with any standard foundation. Foam mattresses need as much direct support under them as possible in order to properly support the sleepers. Keeping a slatted or platform foundation under your BedInABox® will help you avoid mattress sagging or breakdown of the memory foam. It is recommended to pair your BedInABox® mattress with the Clever Connect foundation or the MotionInABox™ Adjustable Frame.

Is there a weight limit on your mattresses?

BedInABox® uses high-quality support foam, so there are no weight limits for any of their memory foam mattresses. However, certain foundations do have weight limits. Their foundations are rated for up to 1000 lbs.

Why is BedInABox® the best Mattress in a Box?

BedInABox® claims to be the best Mattress in a Box because they are the only brand that makes their own foam, assembles every mattress, and ships it all from their own factory in North Carolina. This means that every component of your BedInABox® is made in America and under one roof.
