Sleep Lab : IntelliBED® Pressure Comparison
Pressure mapping tells the real story.
We test thousands of people each year in our custom sleep lab. Using advanced medical technology we map people who are suffering from all types of sleep related pain on the major brand name sleep surfaces. Our mattress tester measures pressure in millimeters of mercury from 0mm Hg up to 200 mm Hg. A reading of 35 or greater will cause a pressure sore in a bed ridden patient. We routinely see measurements of 100 or greater in every type of foam mattress product we test.
The Intelli-Gel® material is patented based upon its unique ability to support weight and reduce peak pressure. There are 3 major physical elements of quality sleep:
- Alignment of the spine
- Relief of peak pressures
- Support for recessed body parts

 ...Same person on an IntelliBED® mattress. Notice the lack of any red or yellow. The image is all blue because the weight is evenly distributed. |
Our Stores are designed to take all the guesswork out of selecting a mattress. We have a $15,000 mattress evaluator that our sleep consultants use to measure your personal pressure profile.
We have all four of the major technologies in our Sleep Lab to test you on a side by side basis:
- NASA memory foam
- Air
- Innerspring
- Gel
