Do you have a sore neck and/or a sore back?
Not long ago I explained why we love our new mattress…
- How it has really helped Kent's back: Do you have lower back pain every morning?
- Also: Why an organic mattress is NOT the best deal if you want a non-toxic bed
- And have you read the scary story about what happened to a young girl named Caroline and what she learned about how a new mattress can off-gas? “A mattress. What do you think of when I mention that word? Soft, fluffy, sleepy, comfy, warm, safety, and bedtime stories. I used to correlate these words with a mattress too, but not anymore. Do you know what I think of when I hear the word mattress? TOXIC! That’s right, my mattress is toxic. It literally made my brain go into a toxic mess for a few weeks…” Read her story here: Is Your Mattress Toxic?!
Today I wanted to share a testimony from my friend Cindy about why she and her husband love their bed:
(First a couple of fun side notes… When I started my home daycare business after Kent and I got married almost 30 years ago, John & Cindy's son was my first little guy, he's a policeman now and has two kids! It's wild how long we've all been friends. 🙂 I haven't done daycare for a few years now, but miss all my kids and their parents — we made many lifelong friends that way. A lot of my kids come visit us and I absolutely love it. This summer our daughter is in one of my daycare girl's wedding and we're throwing her a shower soon! Anyway, here's Cindy…)
We LOVE our new mattress and we purchased it with a motion frame that has massage and wave features, which has been great for us! My back pain didn't go away right when we got the new mattress — but a few chiropractor appointments and the new mattress has done the trick. When my back was sore, I would lay on the bed and turn on the massager motion for 30 minutes and it helped tremendously.
I also really love my new pillow. It took a little getting used to, but I have not had any neck pain since I started using it. I used to have a lot of pillow/neck problems and I was always buying new ones trying to find what might work so I wouldn't wake up hurting. If you have a sore neck, you need to try these pillows. (Use code KOP for 10% off!)
Also, our bed tilts up like a hospital bed — head and/or feet. When head or feet are tilted up, it feels like a super comfy recliner — we love using it in the recliner position to watch a good movie in bed! John's having a full shoulder replacement next month and he already mentioned how it's going to be great to be able to easily adjust the bed to a comfortable position while recovering. It's been great for him because he used to sleep half sitting up, propped with pillows, because of all his shoulder surgeries. Now he can tilt his side up and mine can stay down. (Our bed is the split King.) We love it!”
All price ranges
They have all different price ranges, but still quality that lasts.
See all their non-toxic mattress options here.
They also have good options for kids. I happen to love our daughter's bed the most in our house! Kent needs a more supportive mattress for his back, but I like it softer and hers you just melt into, it's SO stinkin' comfortable. I love to sneak in and take a rare weekend afternoon nap there. (Let's keep that between us K?)

Hello, I am going to stop reading articles about the IntelliBed because I get so jealous! I am an American living in the UK and I can get most things “across the sea” however, IntelliBed is not one of them. I cannot sleep at night due to pain and nothing has helped. But IntelliBed in all their wisdom has decided not to ship to Europe. Too bad, as I am sure there are many, many people who would love to have their products here! Anyway, bye for now, I’m going for a nap in my recliner chair… -Michelle G, An American in the UK

Does anyone have experience with these? I’m afraid to buy another mattress online as my last one was expensive and I still have back in pain. Non toxic or organic is very important to me.

Valesa Linnean — I can say personally how awesome ours is — I linked to our story in the post and told about how it helped my husband’s back, and did you see the post with my friend Cindy sharing what she thinks after having it for 6 months? (She added more in the comment section.)
Valesa Linnean says
I’m thinking I might try a topper before spending $3000+ on a mattress to see if it works for me. Although the toppers are almost $1000 so that’s still pretty pricey if it doesn’t work for me.

Boric acid… It may be a roach killer but it is not harmful to humans.
I have an organic latex mattress and I hate it. Sure, it doesn’t off gas but it is extremely uncomfortable.
Denise Gallie Rollick says
Every morning – and a headache because of it.
Cindy says
Hey Kelly, it’s Cindy. I just have to say that we have had our IntelliBED and Intelli-gel pillows for over six months now and John and I have never slept better. I have had no further back problems OR neck problems. It’s wonderful! We were on vacation for a week and really missed our bed and pillows! The bamboo sheets are awesome, too… PS – Can’t believe we’ve been friends almost 30 years! Thanks so much for all your work on this blog. You are touching so many lives. 🙂

I have been praying about purchasing an Intellibed lately hoping it would help with lower back and hip pain from my pregnancies but the cost is a big one!! I currently have a mattress that sits on a massage/reclining frame that is made by another mattress company. Do you think the Intellibed would work on my current frame? Thanks!

Hi Megan,
I’m not sure but if you call the number (you’ll see it in the post) for Intellibed, they’d be happy to help you figure it out I’m sure!

Hi Cindy,
I know, when I stopped to think about how long we’ve been friends I got a little teary! Thanks for adding your comments after having the bed for a while, I’ve been meaning to post your comments and am just now getting to it, lol. 🙂
Love, Kel
