GhostBed Adjustable Bed Review

Longest, Most Inclusive Warranty

GhostBed, a relatively new option for those who need a bit more support when lying down, offers one of the best warranties around. While most manufacturers offer a 1-year warranty on all parts, GhostBed goes even further and includes the cost of labor and transportation if one of its products suffers a manufacturing defect. The limited lifetime warranty that protects the steel and mechanical base parts does have exclusions, but when compared to other brands of adjustable beds, its coverage is broader. 

GhostBed’s incredible warranty puts it solidly on the list of brands to consider when people shop for the best adjustable beds.

Overview of GhostBed

Nature’s Sleep, the parent company behind the GhostBed brand, started offering high-quality mattresses without a high-pressure sales environment starting in 2001. A decade later, GhostBed was born, and in 2017 the brand started selling its first adjustable base bed. Mark Werner, the founder of the company, wanted to create a more comfortable night’s sleep for most people at an affordable price point. 

How Much Do GhostBed Adjustable Beds Cost?

GhostBed sells one adjustable bed model, though it’s available in three sizes. The size of the mattress that fits on the adjustable frame determines the total cost. For a twin XL, the suggested retail is $1,499, though the total cost can go up depending on the mattress chosen to fit on the frame. The adjustable beds don’t include a mattress. The split king option, the most expensive and largest adjustable bed, retails for $2,998. 

Upgrades, such as extra control boxes or headboard brackets, can add a small upcharge to the price. Also, look for discounts since GhostBed may be running a price special that knocks off up to 40% of the cost of a new adjustable base. 

Full Review of GhostBed Adjustable Beds

An adjustable bed uses an electric-powered base that moves to accommodate different positions. While many people might think of a hospital when looking at these beds, the luxury upgrades make them anything but institutional. 

Head and Foot Adjustability

With a GhostBed adjustable base, you have total control of both the head and foot positioning. The bed smoothly transitions up and down using the included remote, so there’s no limit to where and how you lie on the bed. 

Preset Positioning

While you can take control and manually move your mattress into the most comfortable configuration for a specific activity, it also comes with some one-touch settings. At the press of a button, you can change the settings to put your mattress into a zero-G position or move it to an ideal setting for watching a movie.

Built-In Massage Function

Enjoy a simultaneous back and foot massage with the in-built vibration function. These adjustable bases deliver massages in near silence with three available intensity settings. 

Convenient USB Ports

Easily plug in your smartphone, tablet or other portable devices to charge using the onboard USB ports on either side of the frame. 

Under-Bed LED Lighting

LED lighting illuminates everything under your bed, so if you drop a pill or other item, it’s easier to locate.

Split Controls for Couples

With the split-king design, both sides of the mattress have individual controls, so you and your significant other can each configure your mattress to achieve the optimal sleeping position. 

Adjustable Height

The legs of this GhostBed frame come in three heights — 4 inches, 8 inches and 12 inches — so that you can raise or lower the mattress for easier entry. Leg adjusters screw on and off for secure installation. 

Easy Assembly

The GhostBed is almost totally preassembled. You can set it up quickly without using any tools.

Who Should Consider Adjustable Beds from GhostBed?

Troubled Sleepers

The GhostBed adjustable base is designed to help improve sleep quality. The ability to raise the head of the bed can be helpful for those with acid reflux and other gastrointestinal distress. Raising the footboard can be helpful for individuals recovering from leg surgeries or injuries. The anti-snoring setting can help some sleepers get deeper and more restful sleep. For those who struggle to fall asleep and stay asleep, the GhostBed adjustable base might be a solution. 

Seniors With Limited Mobility

Seniors who struggle to sit up on their own can benefit from having a bed that does the heavy lifting. The GhostBed can maneuver a person from a supine position into a sitting position without any help from a caregiver. 

What Are People Saying About GhostBed?

Customers who switched to the GhostBed adjustable base almost universally give the product five stars and say it lives up to the advertising. The massage function gets more than one mention as a must-have for all future beds, while the under-the-bed lights also get a positive mention from many GhostBed buyers. For most, assembly was quick and easy, and the shipping was lightning fast. 

The few complaints about GhostBed were almost entirely due to unavoidable shipping delays. Once the bed arrives and is set up, most people rave about the good night’s sleep they experience while relaxing in a GhostBed.
