After reading a lot of the reviews, I can see why there is such a difference in the reviews. I have bought two different beds and I know that all intelligel beds are not the same. Don’t be fooled by copy-cat Intelli-gel mattresses. Be sure you get the original INTELLIBED Sleep System sold only at an INTELLIBED store. There is definitely a difference between the original IntelliBED and other intelli-gel beds. I LOVE my IntelliBED! I will never buy another mattress. — I had previously bought an intelli-gel from My Comfort that was really “squishy” once I got it home. It felt great alone, but me and my husband would be sucked into each other and wake up aching. We had a hard time returning and then had to pay a 15% restocking fee ($450) plus pay for the “free” pillows, bedding, and mattress pad that came with it (another $500). This was disclosed up front, but is a big deterrent if you do want to return it. We felt really discouraged but we went ahead and paid the $950, went straight over to the INTELLIBED store and bought the REAL THING. Never a moments regret in over 3 months now.
If you had a bed that was “squishy”, began to drop or sag from the springs used, had a very difficult time trying to return it and then having to pay a huge restocking fee, I am pretty confident that you did what I did the first time and was fooled by a copy-cat brand. But please do not call it an IntelliBed.
DETAILS OF MY PURCHASE: On January 24, 2007, we bought a queen single-gel/latex overlay with a spring base to go on an adjustable base from My Comfort (their softest bed). The sides of the overlay pop up 1-2 inches when laying in bed. The overlay slides off the bottom when the bed is raised in a sitting position. The bed buckles into the middle when my husband and I are in it together. After looking around, we did find a replacement bed with the same store, but also found the IntelliBED store. The quality difference was immediately noticeable and that prompted us to take the financial hit and return the other bed. We also felt that IntelliBED would be around a lot longer than My Comfort based on the history we learned of the two stores.
QUALITY DIFFERENCES: IntelliBED uses 2.5″ square gel inserts (My Comfort-2.25″ diamond inserts). IntelliBED does not layer their gels on top of each other. IntelliBED has a sample of their quality spring system to touch and feel. My Comfort does not have a sample only says it is a Sterns and Foster system. IntelliBED wraps the sides of the springs in foam for a solid feeling mattress. My Comfort you can feel the thin springs along the sides of mattress wanting to pop through the material. They do not feel sturdy from the sides. IntelliBED has a high quality fabric material that is noticeable to the eye and the touch. Do the “touchy-feely” thing at both stores and you will see what I mean.
HISTORY OF TWO STORES: We learned that the creator or the intelli-gel and a partner started the IntelliBED store. The creator then wanted to go into other fields such as chairs so the partner bought the rights to the design and the IntelliBED store. Some time later, the creator opened My Comfort. The My Comfort design is changed just enough to not appear to be the same sleep system originally created. I understand there is a lawsuit in place right now against My Comfort leaving me to wonder where they will end up in a year or two.
(NOTE: I have edited this review on 7/25/07 because the moderators of this sight told me that I needed more specific details and also I had made an error in stating 2 years rather than 2 months. I have now owned my IntelliBED for 3 full months. I hope the details that I have added will be more helpful to those that are looking at buying a new bed.)
