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 most scientifically advanced mattress in the world. Designed to intelligently adapt to your body's unique pressure points for superior, personalized comfort. Responsive support coils enhance the body-alignment properties of the Smart Comfort Grid and minimize motion transfer.
