Edge support and motion isolation are factored into our overall mattress ratings. These scores are shown in green (scores of 5.0+), yellow (3.0–4.9), or red (2.9 and below). Firmness, bounce, and cooling features are a matter of personal preference and aren’t part of our rating system, so these scores are shown in grey.

Product Details
GhostBed Comfort Foam replaced GhostBed Classic in 2025 as the company’s base model. The mattress is available online through GhostBed’s website. You can also upgrade to a hybrid version for an added $200.
In third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), GhostBed Comfort Foam earned a firmness score that’s consistent with a medium-firm feel. Testing also showed that the mattress has excellent edge support, above-average motion isolation, and below-average bounce.
The mattress has 3 layers of foam: responsive Ghost Bounce foam, the ProCore™ layer with zoned support, and the high-density support foam layer. The cover is made from the company’s cool-to-the-touch Ghost Ice fabric. This is the mattress’s only cooling feature. The cover isn’t removable or machine washable.
In comparison, Douglas Original offers a higher motion isolation score and more cooling features. The mattress comes with a longer 365-night sleep trial, a machine-washable top cover, and a free bedding bundle with your purchase. It’s also priced much lower than GhostBed Comfort Foam at $799 for a queen size.
Ideal For: Side Sleepers, Back Sleepers, Stomach Sleepers

Delivery, Sleep Trial & Returns
FedEx delivers GhostBed Comfort Foam throughout Canada. However, GhostBed doesn’t currently ship to Northwest Territories, Nunavut, or the Yukon.

GhostBed Comfort Foam comes with a 101-night sleep trial, which starts on the day the mattress ships. If there are shipping delays, this means you won’t have the full 101 nights to test out the mattress at home. GhostBed requires you to try the mattress for at least 30 nights before starting a return. Any discounts or promotions you received will result in an adjusted refund amount.
GhostBed provides a 20-year limited warranty for the Comfort Foam mattress. The industry standard is just 10 years. This warranty covers manufacturing defects only, not incidental damage. (In comparison, Douglas Original comes with a longer 365-night sleep trial, a 20-year warranty, and free return pickup with a full refund.)

GhostBed Mattress Construction
GhostBed Comfort Foam stands 11″ tall and has 3 foam layers. All foams used are CertiPUR-US® certified.
- Layer 1: The comfort layer is 2″ of Ghost Bounce foam. This foam is designed to be more responsive and provides pressure-point relief.
- Layer 2: The transition layer is 2″ of ProCore™ foam. It has higher density in the middle third to provide zoned support, which promotes spinal alignment.
- Layer 3: The support layer is 7″ of higher-density foam. This keeps you from sinking too far down and helps provide support for the mattress’s overall structure.
The mattress cover is made from GhostBed’s cool-to-the-touch Ghost Ice fabric. According to the law label on the mattress, the cover materials listed are 99% polyester and 1% spandex. The cover isn’t removable or machine washable, so any stains or spills will need to be spot-cleaned.

MattressReviews.ca commissions licensed third-party engineers and uses public data to rate mattresses on over 40 criteria.
This allows us to accurately rate and compare the performance of the mattresses reviewed on this website. Engineer independence and operating standards help ensure their results remain unbiased, valid, and reliable.
Each mattress was evaluated using the same strict mattress testing methodology to protect the overall integrity of the results. Foam and hybrid mattress test results are scored on separate scales to ensure fair contextual performance representation as much as possible. The full report has been given the official stamp of approval from an APEGA-certified engineer operating under a strict ethical code of conduct.
Mattress testing conducted outside of this professional standard poses a greater risk of validity errors or reviewer bias.
6.2 /10
Firmness
In third-party engineer testing (commissioned by us), GhostBed Comfort Foam earned a firmness score of 6.2/10. This places the mattress in the medium-firm category. A medium-firm feel is considered ideal for all sleep styles, whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach.
8.8 /10
Edge Support
Edge support is how well a mattress supports your weight while you’re sitting on or lying near the edge of the bed. Foam mattresses generally have less edge support than innerspring and hybrid mattresses because of their softer layers. However, GhostBed Comfort Foam scored 8.8/10 for edge support. This is an excellent score for a foam mattress.
6.0 /10
Motion Isolation
Motion isolation refers to how much a mattress prevents you from noticing movement from other parts of the bed. Foam mattresses usually have better motion isolation than innerspring or hybrid mattresses because the foam absorbs motion. GhostBed Comfort Foam earned a motion isolation score of 6.0/10, which is above average for a foam mattress.
(Need a mattress with more motion isolation? Try Douglas Original with its much higher score of 8.3/10.)
4.2 /10
Bounce
Bounce is a matter of personal preference. A mattress with a high bounce score has a springy surface that makes it easy to change positions. A mattress with a lower bounce score, on the other hand, has a less responsive surface. GhostBed Comfort Foam earned a bounce score of 4.2/10. This is below average for a foam mattress.
1.2 /10
Cooling Features
GhostBed Comfort Foam isn’t advertised as a cooling mattress, but it does have one cooling feature to help provide temperature control. This mattress earned points for its:
- Cool-to-the-touch Ghost Ice mattress cover
If you need a mattress with more cooling features, consider Douglas Original instead. It has a layer of cooling gel foam, open-cell Elastex® foam, and a moisture-wicking top cover. These advanced cooling features come at a lower price point of $799 for a queen size, compared to $999 for GhostBed Comfort Foam.
