Unique Points

The PacBed Original has a new look and improved feel! We kept the aspects that made the PacBed Original our most popular mattress, while enhancing the feel of our memory foam. A 2-layer construction:

  • 3" 3lb Density CoolRest® Advanced Memory Foam
  • 8" 2lb Density High Quality Sure Align Support Foam
  • Smooth Knit Cover.


If you've always loved traditional innerspring mattresses, but you're tired of wearing a groove in every mattress after just a couple of years, the GhostBed Flex is made for you. The GhostBed Flex has 7 layers:

  • Ghost Ice Fabric - Smooth, silky viscose-polyester blend
  • 1" Cool Fiber Layer - Creates air flow so you sleep cooler
  • 1" Gel Memory Foam - Gives that Ghost Hug feel
  • 1" Gel Memory Foam - Relieves pressure and wicks away heat
  • 1" Ghost Flex Soft Transition Foam - Reduces the urge to toss and turn
  • 8 .5" Individually Wrapped Support Coils - Enjoy the sturdy, responsive support of the traditional innerspring mattresses you're used to
  • 1" High Density Support Foam - Extra support and durability from the base up.

Ergonomic Handles
Comfort
3 lb density memory foam rebounds (takes it shape) quicker making it easier to change positions. Open cell structure increases air flow, contributing to a cooler sleep.
Our 7-layer hybrid mattress fuses the springy support of individually-wrapped coils with the plush comfort of gel memory foam. Experience out-of-this-world comfort, with the best of both worlds. Two one inch layers of special gel-infused Memory Foam absorbs and dissipates body heat as fresh air passes through the foam.
Support
The CoolRest® advanced memory foam has been softened (just slightly), creating more contouring qualities, while retaining the same great support. CoolRest® advanced memory foam perfectly contours to your body providing improved pressure relief to reduce tossing & turning. Sure Align support foam designed to support & correctly align your spine so you can sleep better. This works in tandem with the memory foam and provides perfect support for long lasting comfort and helps to distribute body weight evenly across the mattress.
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.
