Two one inch layers of special gel-infused Memory Foam absorbs and dissipates body heat as fresh air passes through the foam.
Support
Hand-picked Technoluxe foams are designed to reduce pressure on key spots like hips and shoulders. Our T3 Pocketed Coil® Technology is designed to reduce motion transfer, absorb energy, and provide durability. BeautyEdge® for reliable edge support. If you choose to upgrade: Cooling Upgrade: Has all the support features of the Original. Cooling + Comfort Upgrade: has two additional inches of high quality memory foam (GelTouch® Foam) for even better pressure relief than the Cooling Upgrade, especially around areas like the hips and shoulders. The Technoluxe Memory Foams system includes more, higher quality memory foams than in any Beautyrest mattresses. These Technoluxe foams are designed to offer sophisticated pressure relief. Our T3 Pocketed Coil® Technology (our most advanced spring support yet) provides our best support and durability while also preventing partner disturbance.
The core of the GhostBed Flex features the patented Ghost Flex innerspring coil unit with our Spirited Edge™ Support design. Individual 8.5" coils create the weightless feeling you love, while wrapping them individually creates minimal motion transfer. Plus, two rows of specially reinforced coils along the edge of the bed make it easy to sit comfortably without slipping off. One inch of Ghost Flex Soft Transition Foam offers pure pressure relief. This layer of soft transition foam contours to your body and reduces the need to toss and turn. Individual coils offer the responsive support of traditional innerspring mattresses, without the worry of wearing out after just a few months. 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.
