Is the GhostBed Mattress Good For Heavy People?

Published

The GhostBed mattresses are designed to support up to 350 lbs per side. To date, we have tested the GhostBed Classic, GhostBed Luxe, and GhostBed Flex.

For heavier sleepers, I would recommend the GhostBed Flex as it has a slightly firmer feel (6.5 out of 10) as well as a thicker profile.

The GhostBed website says 13″, although the version we tested was only 11.5″ thick. Regardless, extra thickness helps provide better support and pressure relief for heavier sleepers.

For a thicker profile in an all-foam configuration, the GhostBed Luxe is another 13″ option. The Luxe is a foam mattress whereas the Flex is a hybrid. Hybrid support systems generally provide better support to heavier sleepers.

The Luxe is also a touch softer than the Flex, which may not be suitable for heavier sleepers.
