This post is sponsored by intelliBED. All opinions are my own.Sleep. Some of us like it, some of us hate it, and some of us just plain struggle with it. There’s so many different struggles when it comes to sleep. Some of us just can’t sleep because we have an infant waking us up every couple of hours or a toddler with night terrors and some of us suffer from insomnia. And some of us think we’re getting reasonable sleep, but don’t know how much we’re actually tossing and turning trying to get comfortable while we’re sleeping. No matter how you swing it and no matter what’s preventing you from getting high quality sleep, sleep is immensely important to our health, our happiness and our general well-being.
If you’re not getting the sleep you think you need, then you’re definitely not alone!
Did You Know:
There are 5 stages of sleep: Stages I-IV and REM sleep.
A complete sleep cycle is approximately 90-110 minutes.
Adults need 7-8 hours of sleep each night.
The CDC reports that insufficient sleep is an epidemic.
My personal sleep struggle began after I had Alea. And yes, even beyond that wake-up-every-two-hours-with-an-infant time. I used to not be too picky when it came to my mattress. I could really sleep on anything and I’d wake up feeling refreshed. Ever since having Alea though, I find that I’m more picky about how my mattress supports my body while I sleep. That ultra-plush pillow-top mattress I got when I got my first place just wasn’t cutting it anymore– not to mention the fact that Cory absolutely despised sleeping on such a soft mattress. We’d both wake up feeling achy and cranky and we’d be constantly spewing out complaints about our non-supportive mattress.
We always talked about upgrading our mattress, but didn’t really know what we could purchase that we would both agree on.
Enter: intelliBED. A mattress that’s incredibly supportive without being too firm or too soft. The best of both worlds if you will. It’s completely changed our sleep for the better!
Now I know what you’re thinking, intelli-What? That’s exactly what I said! I had never heard of intelliBED. And similarly, those I’ve talked to about my new mattress don’t seem to know what the heck I’m talking about either– so don’t worry, you’re not alone.
I’ll enlighten you though.
The intelliBED is a revolutionary mattress. Simple as that. It relieves so much pressure from the body with it’s non-toxic intelli-gel and can truly help you get better, deeper healing sleep! This gel sleeps cool and actually seeks and relieves pressure points on your body to prevent you from tossing and turning frequently throughout the night.
intelliBED has set out out create a mattress for us healthy living folks. You know, those of us that want to add quality sleep to our healthy living trifecta of exercising and eating right. That’s where the intelliBED comes in. The intelliBED mattress is an affordable option for us everyday folk who are looking for a non-toxic, pressure relieving mattress to help us get a better nights sleep.
I mean, we’re already watching what we eat, we make sure we exercise, and we’re living an all around pretty healthy lifestyle. Why not watch how we sleep as well? Why not put a little importance on the quality of sleep that we’re getting at night?
I can’t wait to share more about how this mattress is changing the way we sleep over the course of the next month or two. It’s really, truly incredible. Stick around– I can’t wait to tell you more!

That bed looks super comfy!
That bed looks amazing!
We have an off-brand memory foam thing, which is alright, but it’s slowly getting less and less comfortable. I don’t know what happened to it, but it’s less “memory” now!
I bought an amazing mattress a few years ago and it really did help improve my sleep.
I think I need this mattress!!
Sounds like a great mattress and one that i need in my life, I have insomnia which i wishing daily i did not have. If i get 3-4 hours of sleep a night I am happy anything about 6 hours i am cranky but i think having a good mattress helps sleep big time. Thanks for sharing your secret to a restful sleep
A while back my husband insisted that we get rid of our mattress and replace it with a memory foam one. He said my tossing turning all night kept him awake and that a memory foam would stabilize all that motion. When I finally realized I couldn’t talk him out of it I agreed. But the one we got is so hot, that now I can’t sleep because I wake up all night long from sweating! I would love a mattress like this one that sleeps cool.
My husband and I like different firmness – our king is split (his is firm, mine plush). I wonder if we would both be comfortable sleeping on a bed like this?!
(And sharpie pens are the best!)
I seriously struggle with sleep so this was very helpful. I Thought my struggles were due to Co-sleeping but when he’s fast asleep, or not beside me I still struggle so I’m going to have to make some changes!

I WANT THIS!!!!!!!
We desperately need a new mattress!
The bed looks an sounds amazing – I was only saying to my mum the other day that I completely understood why Hugh Hefner always wants to return home to sleep. I love my bed, it cost me the earth and I am glad I spent every penny on it. I’d love to try this one though – I know I don’t get enough sleep for sure.
This sounds like an amazing mattress. It really is amazing how much your sleep patterns and abilities to sleep change after you have had kids. Can’t wait to hear how the mattress works out for you.
Whaaaat! I want this!!!!
This sounds amazing!
That bed looks so comfy!
Oh I have never heard of such a thing. My husband has been saying lately he hates our mattress, going to have to look into this.
I wish I could actually apply these steps to my sleep schedule. Unfortunately with working night shift and having a one year old, I don’t get much sleep. I really need to find a way to get more sleep though!
Just wait until you hit my age. Sleep is elusive.
Oh my gosh, we NEED a new mattress! We’ve seriously had ours for like 10 years now! It’s just never in our budget for a new one, other things are always more important, ya know?!
The Hubs and I are talking about getting a new mattress soon-ish. Hopefully sooner, than later… its getting a little ridiculous actually! Definitely going to have to check this one out!
I have to say that I love my bed, but I don’t get enough sleep. I don’t think I’ve slept well in years. When my son was born, it was literally every two hours of waking up until he got to a point of sleeping through the night. Now that he does, I have to get my work done while he’s sleeping. You can’t get anything done with a toddler running around. I have to get my schedule adjusted so that I sleep better. I could sure use it.
This thing sounds awesome! I wake up almost every morning with a horribly achey back and I know it’s from our mattress. I will be talking to my husband about this.
What a great post! Sleep really is the key to success and happiness. A bad mattress can definitely be an issue. My problem is sleeping late and not getting enough sleep. I love my bed but I feel like its almost time for a new one. What’s that saying? I think it was to change your mattress every 10 years or something like that? Anyways, excellent post! I’m about to go to bed in a few hours!
Sleep is super important to me and getting the right kind of sleep even more so. And it truly does start with your mattress. I’ve heard of the intellibed…will have to check them out!
Sleep… What can I say, i’m not even sure I know what that means at this point in my life. Maybe one day when all my children are a little older haha. This bed sure does look amazingly comfy though and I sure could use a new bed.
