Lull vs GhostBed: Lull Wins on Trial Length, GhostBed on Cooling

Two online mattress brands, two different starting points. The Original Lull Mattress is a 10-inch, three-layer memory foam bed built around contouring pressure relief, a gel-beaded cooling top layer and a 365-night in-home trial. The GhostBed collection is a redesigned lineup of foam and hybrid mattresses, each built with premium foams, GhostBed’s signature cooling and ProCore zoned support, sold with a 101-night sleep trial. The choice between them comes down to how long you want to try the bed at home, how much cooling technology you want, and which feel you prefer.

Which mattress should you buy, Lull or GhostBed?

Lull wins this face-to-face for shoppers who want a long home trial and a simple all-foam build at a lower entry price. GhostBed wins for shoppers who prioritize cooling technology and zoned support, and who are comfortable with a 101-night trial instead of a full year. The Original Lull Mattress starts at $499 for a Twin and is covered for 365 nights. GhostBed sells through a collection of three redesigned foam mattresses, each with a 101-night trial and a 20 to 25 year limited warranty.

Neither brand is the obvious pick for everyone. Lull is a single-model story on its Original page, with upgrades into Original Premium, Luxe Hybrid and Premium Luxe. GhostBed offers three core foam mattresses in its redesigned collection, plus hybrid options across the wider range. If you want a coil-based mattress with a lifetime warranty and in-room setup, the Saatva Classic is the alternative covered at the end of this page.

Who is the Lull mattress for?

The Original Lull Mattress suits sleepers who want a memory foam bed that contours without a deep sinking-in feeling, backed by a full year to decide. It is built as a 10-inch, three-layer memory foam mattress using aerated OpenCell foam to relieve pressure points, proprietary high-resilience foam to keep the spine aligned, and cooling gel-infused beads to keep you cool through the night. The foams are CertiPUR-US certified, and the mattress is crafted and assembled in the USA with domestic and imported materials.

Lull positions the Original as its best-selling mattress and its affordable choice in the lineup. Shoppers who want a straightforward foam bed, a long trial and a low entry price are the natural fit. Lull is also a member of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, which matters to buyers who weigh manufacturing commitments alongside comfort.

Who is GhostBed for?

GhostBed suits sleepers who want a choice of feel and firmness inside one collection, with cooling and zoned support treated as core features rather than add-ons. The redesigned collection includes the GhostBed Comfort Foam at 11 inches with a medium-firm feel, the GhostBed Signature Foam at 12 inches with a medium feel and twice the cooling, and the GhostBed Luxe Foam at 14 inches with a medium-firm feel and five times the cooling, described by the brand as the coolest bed in the world.

Every mattress in the collection carries premium high-quality foams, GhostBed’s signature cooling and ProCore zoned support. ProCore and ProCore Elite both provide 33 percent more support in the center third of the mattress, and ProCore Elite adds cooling gel memory foam in the center section for enhanced pressure relief and temperature regulation. GhostBed mattresses are built in the USA and Canada by Nature’s Sleep, a company with 20 years in the industry.

Lull vs GhostBed: side-by-side specifications

How do the two mattresses feel?

Lull describes the Original as medium-firm, built to support and contour without a sinking-in feeling. The quilted open-cell memory foam cover with a hexagonal top-tick design is made for airflow, the 1.5-inch gel-infused cooling memory foam redistributes weight and conforms to the body, and the 1.5-inch therapeutic mid-layer of high-resilience foam deepens contouring while limiting excess sinkage to promote healthy spine alignment. A 7-inch high-density foam base provides the foundation.

GhostBed spreads its feels across three named models rather than one. The GhostBed Comfort Foam is the firmest-leaning option in the collection and is one customers most often describe as having a noticeably firm feel. The GhostBed Signature Foam sits at medium. The GhostBed Luxe Foam returns to medium-firm with graphite-infused temperature regulation. GhostBed notes that firmness is subjective and depends on body type, weight, sleep position and preference, which is why the collection carries more than one feel.

Which mattress sleeps cooler?

GhostBed builds cooling into the collection as a headline feature, and the Luxe Foam carries the strongest cooling claim. The GhostBed Luxe Foam is marketed with five times the cooling and graphite-infused temperature regulation, the GhostBed Signature Foam with twice the cooling, and every model in the collection with GhostBed’s signature cooling. ProCore Elite adds cooling gel memory foam in the center section, described as active cooling technology that draws heat away from the body.

Lull approaches temperature from the foam itself. The Original Lull Mattress uses a 1.5-inch heat-dispersing gel-beaded top layer, with cooling memory foam and heat-dispersing gel beads working to keep you at a balanced temperature. Open cell foam increases air circulation to prevent the mattress from holding heat and moisture, and the quilted cover is stitched in a hexagonal pattern for maximum airflow. Shoppers who rank cooling above all else should look at the GhostBed Luxe Foam first; shoppers who want a simpler cooling approach built into a single foam bed will find it in the Lull.

What does each mattress cost?

Lull also lists 0% APR financing as low as $28 per month with the discount applied, and offers a free Dream Bundle valued at $349 while stock lasts, including a sheet set, two down pillows and a mattress protector. Lull’s page shows a clearance promotion at the time of writing, and prices like these move often, so check the current price before you buy.

What GhostBed does publish is the structure of the choice: an 11-inch essential, a 12-inch step up, and a 14-inch premium foam option, plus hybrid versions elsewhere in the range. Buyers comparing budgets should price the specific GhostBed model and size they want directly.

How do the trials and warranties compare?

Lull gives you 365 nights at home; GhostBed gives you 101. Lull states that within 365 nights, if you are not 100 percent satisfied with your sleep experience, you can return your mattress. GhostBed asks you to contact them before night 101 to coordinate a return, and notes that coming from an older bed can mean the feel feels different at first, which is the reason the trial exists.

On warranty, GhostBed publishes a 20 to 25 year limited warranty with proof of purchase from the official GhostBed website or an authorized retailer. For a longer coverage promise, the Saatva Classic carries a lifetime warranty on the original purchase, which is the clearest difference between the two foam brands above and the innerspring alternative.

Who should buy the Original Lull Mattress?

Pick the Original Lull Mattress if you want a full year to decide, a medium-firm memory foam feel that contours without deep sinkage, and a low entry price on a single well-defined model. It is the better fit for first-time online mattress buyers who want one clear option rather than a collection to decode, for shoppers who value CertiPUR-US certified foams and a US-assembled product, and for anyone who wants free shipping in the contiguous US with a 1 to 2 business day dispatch. The 365-night trial is the single strongest reason to lean Lull here, because it doubles the home trial GhostBed offers.

It is also the right pick if you want cooling handled inside the foam rather than through a tiered cooling system. The gel-beaded top layer, OpenCell aerated foam and hexagonal quilted cover all work toward the same goal, and you get that in the base model rather than by moving up a tier.

Who should buy a GhostBed?

Buy a GhostBed if cooling and zoned support are your top priorities and you are willing to trade trial length for them. The collection gives you three feels to choose from, ProCore zoned support that adds 33 percent more support in the center third of the mattress, and a cooling ladder that runs from the base Comfort Foam up to the five-times-cooling Luxe Foam with graphite-infused temperature regulation. It is also the pick for shoppers who want a 20 to 25 year limited warranty and a brand that has been building mattresses for more than 20 years.

GhostBed is the better fit for couples who cannot agree on firmness, since the Signature Foam at medium sits between the medium-firm Comfort Foam and the medium-firm Luxe Foam. It also suits shoppers who want to compare foam against hybrid construction inside one brand, because the collection offers both styles.

What about the Saatva Classic instead?

Neither Lull nor GhostBed is an innerspring mattress, and neither offers in-room delivery with your old mattress taken away. The Saatva Classic does both. It is a dual-coil mattress built with over 1,000 triple-tempered recycled carbon steel coils in full size and up, a 3-inch Euro pillow top, and patented Lumbar Zone technology for spinal alignment. It comes in three comfort levels, Plush Soft at 3 out of 10, Luxury Firm at 5 to 7 out of 10, and Firm at 8 out of 10, and in two heights, 11.5 inches and 14.5 inches.

The Saatva Classic is chiropractor approved and endorsed by the American Chiropractic Association, with CertiPUR-US certified foams and GREENGUARD Gold certification. It carries a 365-night home trial, free white-glove delivery including in-room setup, free old mattress removal when you check the box at checkout, and a lifetime warranty for the original purchaser. A Queen Saatva Classic lists at $2,229. If you want a foam bed at a lower price, Lull and GhostBed are the right comparison; if you want coils, setup service and lifetime coverage, the Classic is the one to look at.

World Sleep Almanac score: 7.6/10

The World Sleep Almanac editorial score is built from five criteria, each weighed on the published information for both brands: price at equal size, trial and returns, warranty, materials and construction, and public brand track record. On this comparison, the Original Lull Mattress earns its strength through the 365-night trial and the published CertiPUR-US certified foam build. The GhostBed collection earns through the 20 to 25 year limited warranty, the ProCore zoned support system and the tiered cooling options. The score reflects the face-to-face as a whole rather than either mattress alone.

Frequently asked questions

Is Lull or GhostBed better for hot sleepers?

GhostBed publishes the stronger cooling claims, with the Luxe Foam carrying five times the cooling and graphite-infused temperature regulation, the Signature Foam carrying twice the cooling, and ProCore Elite adding cooling gel memory foam in the center third. Lull cools through a gel-beaded top layer, OpenCell aerated foam and a hexagonal quilted cover designed for airflow. If cooling is your deciding factor, GhostBed publishes more of it.

Which has a longer trial, Lull or GhostBed?

Lull. The Original Lull Mattress carries a 365-night in-home trial, while GhostBed offers a 101-night sleep trial and asks you to make contact before night 101 to coordinate a return. That is the widest single gap between the two brands in this comparison.

Does GhostBed come with a warranty?

Yes. GhostBed publishes a 20 to 25 year limited warranty on its mattresses, valid with proof of purchase from the official GhostBed website or an authorized retailer.

Is the Original Lull Mattress a hybrid?

No. The Original Lull Mattress is a 10-inch, three-layer memory foam mattress with a high-density foam base, and Lull’s wider lineup adds the Luxe Hybrid and Premium Luxe as separate upgrades. GhostBed offers both foam and hybrid styles across its range, so hybrid shoppers should look at the GhostBed hybrid options rather than the Original Lull.

How firm is the GhostBed Comfort Foam?

The GhostBed Comfort Foam has a medium-firm feel and is the option GhostBed customers most often describe as having a noticeably firm feel. GhostBed also notes that firmness is subjective and depends on body weight, sleep position and individual preference, which is why the collection includes a medium-feel Signature Foam alongside it.

Verdict: buy the Original Lull Mattress if you want a 365-night trial and a simple medium-firm foam bed at a $499 Twin entry price; buy a GhostBed if you want tiered cooling, ProCore zoned support and a 20 to 25 year warranty, and 101 nights is enough for you. Shoppers who want coils, in-room setup and lifetime coverage should look at the Saatva Classic instead.
