I had never heard of a Ghost Bed until now.

The Purple mattress dust issue, non disclosure of what it actually is, and threatening litigation keeps me from looking at them.

It's just dehydrated fracing fluid.

We too have a ghost bed, going on 2 years now and we still love it!

We have a king size foam bed from Slumber Solutions and after 4 years, it's still the most comfortable bed I've owned. We just ordered another one for the spare bedroom. I recommend them to anyone who asks... why spend $3k on a good bed when you can spend $600 for a great one that's shipped to you? One tip though, Slumber Solutions foam is firm so if you like a medium softness, get soft.

After having a Purple for a couple years, I can say we've literally seen no powder or dust from it. None. In my personal experience, the dust issue is a non-issue. From what I've read the "dust" some people have seen is a common form of non-toxic polymer that is used to make sure the thing doesn't stick to itself when it's rolled up tight for shipping.

As far as potential toxic substances go, the Purple mattress didn't have much of an odor at all compared to other latex foam mattress we have purchased (Lucid brand). Those latex foam mattress seem to off-gas for a couple weeks after opening them. Not so with the Purple.

I have no attachment to Purple, just want to share first-hand experience.

PS - the claims that Purple had some sort of toxic powder came from a guy who runs Honest Mattress Reviews. Mr. so-called honest reviewer is directly association with Purple's competition, GhostBed, as the Chief Brand Officer there. Mr. Honest Reviewer was being paid $10,000/month by GhostBed. Purple also won an injunction as part of a lawsuit against the "reviewer" and GhostBed.

So it's pretty hard to say how much truth there is about the dust issue considering the source.

It's not that I'm worried about extra dust in the house. I own an African Grey parrot, she makes dust by the ton, so the dust on my furniture isn't a concern.
I do not want to breathe plastic. Reading into it, this stuff is likely a release compound of some sort, but without knowing exactly what it is, I will not sleep on it.

Our neighbors bought one, can't remember the brand, and it didn't work out for them. In order to get their $2,500 back, instead of returning it to the manufacturer they had to give it away. We gladly took it, it is very comfortable and has been overall great so far. I'll post the brand later.

Sure would be great to have a Caspar, Purple, Ghost and Nectar all lined up to try out and compare.
