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.

Eight the Pod Pro

How often will I need to refill the Water Tank?

The app will notify you when the water level is running low and the tank needs to be refilled.

I am moving, how do I properly disassemble the Pod?

You can use the draining tool provided in the tech bundle box to empty the water in the cover and hub. Be sure to have a bowl handy to catch any water that is released.

Do I need to air out the foam portion of the Pod overnight?

For the best experience, it is suggested to allow 24 hours for the foam mattress to fully form and for the Priming process to complete. If you perceive any faint odors or smells after opening, please allow a few hours for the smells to dissipate.
