GhostBed Luxe Overview
The GhostBed Luxe features 7 layers of cooling technology with Ghost Ice Fabric for the coldest-sleeping memory foam experience.
Video Review
What Our Research Found
This assessment is based on published manufacturer specifications, materials analysis and verified owner feedback. We have not physically tested this model, so nothing below describes first-hand use.
GhostBed Luxe takes cooling seriously with 7 layers of cooling technology. The Ghost Ice Fabric cover feels genuinely cold to the touch — not just 'cool,' but actually cold. It's a phase-change material that absorbs body heat and feels refreshing even on warm nights.
The 25-year warranty is one of the longest in the industry, showing confidence in durability.
The memory foam construction provides excellent motion isolation and deep pressure relief for side sleepers. However, the soft feel (5.5/10) means stomach sleepers may experience some hip sinkage. The all-foam design also means less edge support than hybrid competitors.
Overall, the GhostBed Luxe earns its 'coolest mattress' designation honestly. If temperature regulation is your primary concern and you prefer memory foam feel, this should be at the top of your list.

Sleep Position Analysis
Side Sleepers
At 5.5/10 firmness, the GhostBed Luxe may be worth trying for side sleepers who prefer a medium surface. Body shape, shoulder width and individual preferences can change how the same mattress feels.
Back Sleepers
The GhostBed Luxe's listed firmness of 5.5/10 may suit back sleepers seeking a medium-to-firm surface. Spinal alignment and hip support have not been objectively measured for this model unless documented test results appear above.
Stomach Sleepers
At 5.5/10 firmness, the GhostBed Luxe may be too soft for stomach sleepers. Stomach sleepers may want to compare a firmer model, especially if they notice uncomfortable hip sinkage.
Combination Sleepers
The GhostBed Luxe's memory foam construction contours to each sleep position but may resist quick position changes. Slower-responding foam can make combination sleepers feel briefly "stuck" when transitioning.
Which GhostBed Luxe Model Should You Buy?
GhostBed's range spans a value foam bed up to the Grand luxury hybrid. The Luxe is the cooling specialist and the model the brand markets hardest — seven layers built almost entirely around heat management.
| Model | Firmness | Best for | Queen |
|---|---|---|---|
| GhostBed Classic | 6.5/10 | Budget shoppersLatex over memory foam. Firmer and much simpler than the Luxe. | $895 |
| GhostBed Flex | 6.5/10 | Couples wanting coilsHybrid build with better edges and more bounce. | $1,395 |
| GhostBed Luxe | 5.5/10 | Hot sleepers who like memory foamOur pick for cooling. Ghost Ice cover, phase-change layer, gel memory foam. | $1,295 |
| GhostBed 3D Matrix | 6/10 | Hot sleepers who want bouncePolymer grid over coils. Cooler still, with a very different springy feel. | $1,795 |

$1,049 queenChoose the GhostBed Luxe if: You want the strongest cooling stack in all-foam.
Choose the Amerisleep AS3 if: You want plant-based foam and a 20-year warranty for less.
Read the full GhostBed Luxe vs. Amerisleep AS3 comparison →Seven layers of heat management
The Luxe stacks a Ghost Ice cover, a one-inch phase-change layer, aerated gel memory foam, a Ghost Bounce transition and a high-density core across 13 inches. Almost every layer above the core is there for temperature rather than feel.
It works. The cover is genuinely cool to the touch on contact, though that specific sensation fades within a minute or two of lying down — the sustained number is what matters.
Lab measurements pending
GhostBed Luxe has not completed our instrumented lab protocol, so we publish no SleepSage cooling, pressure, motion, edge, response, durability or off-gassing measurements for it. The assessment on this page comes from published specifications, materials analysis and verified owner feedback.

Construction & Materials Review
We document the mattress's published layer construction, materials, densities and cover fabrics from manufacturer specifications and supporting documentation.
Specification & Certification Verification
