GhostBed Luxe Review: Cooling Memory Foam Re-Tested
The GhostBed Luxe is a 13-inch cooling memory-foam mattress designed for sleepers who want contouring without as much heat buildup as traditional foam. We tested the current Luxe Foam with Yawnder's standardized protocol on August 27, 2026.

What the GhostBed Luxe feels like
At 6/10 on our firmness scale, the Luxe sits close to medium. It has the contouring you expect from memory foam, but it recovers faster than older, denser foam beds. Side sleepers get useful shoulder and hip relief, while many back sleepers should find enough support to keep the pelvis from dropping too deeply.
What it does well
- 9.2/10 cooling is excellent for an all-foam mattress
- 9.0/10 motion isolation is strong for couples
- 8.8/10 pressure relief works well for side sleepers
- Medium feel gives it broader appeal than very soft memory foam
- 25-year limited warranty is longer than many mainstream foam competitors
Where it is limited
- 7.2/10 edge support is the weakest major test category
- Dedicated stomach sleepers may want something firmer
- It still has a memory-foam feel, so shoppers who dislike contouring may prefer a hybrid
- The current Queen price puts it above many basic all-foam competitors

Luxe Foam vs Luxe Hybrid
The newer Luxe Hybrid adds coils and a more supportive perimeter while keeping GhostBed's cooling focus. If motion isolation and the deeper foam cradle are your priorities, the Luxe Foam is the more natural choice. If you want more lift, stronger edges and a more traditional hybrid feel, compare the Luxe Hybrid.

Who should buy it
The Luxe makes the most sense for hot sleepers who still want memory foam, couples who prioritize motion isolation, and side sleepers who want stronger pressure relief without choosing an especially soft mattress. Back sleepers around the middle of the weight range should also be comfortable on the 6/10 feel.
Who should skip it
Consider a firmer hybrid if you are a strict stomach sleeper, need very strong edge support, or want a buoyant coil-driven feel. The Luxe performs well for cooling memory foam, but it does not erase the basic tradeoffs of an all-foam construction.
