Patented Intelli-Gel is the world’s most ADVANCED cushioning technology. Invented in the USA in 1995, it has been used for eight years for critical care hospital patients. It is used in the best mattresses and pillows of Europe and Japan, in JanSport backpack straps, in Dr. Scholl’s Massaging Gel Insoles, and a host of other high-tech cushioning products. We’ll discuss below Intelli-Gel in a bed, but the same principles apply to our amazing office chairs, recliners, pillows and cushions. Absolutely nothing cushions like Intelli-Gel, because all other cushions have a fatal flaw – the further you push into them, the HARDER they push back. Intelli-Gel got its name because it ‘knows’ where to stand firm and where to plushly give way, and we’ll explain it all below. Intelli-Gel is everything you’ve been searching for as you’ve gone from bed to bed over the years. Intelli-Gel is everything the bedding industry has worked to achieve but never could quite figure out. Why? Because every other bed technology on earth is missing at least one crucial element of sleep wellness:  Pressure relief, spinal alignment, or back support. Intelli-Gel is the first and only cushioning product that gives you all three elements. It lets your hips and shoulders sink into the gel with almost no pressure pushing back. Then, it reaches up and reinforces the recessed areas of your body which supports you while aligning you. . Why other technologies don’t work as well as Intelli-Gel: Other cushioning technologies follow basic laws of pressure. The more the protruding parts of your body (hips, shoulders) push against the sleep surface, the more that sleep surface pushes against them. So your hips and shoulders get painful pressure, but your back (which is recessed) doesn’t get enough pressure, and it sags down until it’s weight is held up. Ouch! This applies to one extent or another whether you’re sleeping on air, water, springs, foam, or even NASA-memory foam. High pressure points mean blood flow is cut off, causing you to subconsciously toss and turn. Combine that with a sagging spine and you are not doing yourself a favor. Bedding experts have known for decades that there wasn’t a reliable bed technology that could reverse this pressure scenario to place good pressure on the spine while reducing pressure almost completely on the hips and shoulders. In medical cushioning, this is caused “pressure equalization”. Intelli-Gel’s ability to provide pressure equalization while other technologies fail at it is the reason for Intelli-Gel’s popularity for critical care patients (burn victims, coma patients, etc. ). The invention of Intelli-Gel. . . In 1995, a team of U.S. inventors created and perfected Intelli-Gel, the first ever total solution breakthrough in sleep surface technology. For the first time, this incredible technology let sleeper’s hips and shoulders sink deep into the bed without giving up crucial spine alignment and back support. And the magic is that it tailors itself (read on to find out how). Intelli-Gel made it possible for two sleep partners with completely different needs to both receive the individualized feel and comfort desired, automatically without any adjusting. Intelli-Gel is a true miracle in sleep technology and other cushioning applications. Not only is it one of the longest lasting sleep surfaces (see our 20-year warranty), it is completely non-toxic, natural, breathable, and temperature-neutral. It won’t heat you up while you sleep, it won’t change firmness when the temperature changes, and there is virtually no motion transfer when sleeping on Intelli-Gel. How it works. . . Intelli-Gel is made from hundreds of hollow columns of Gelastic, an ultra-soft, ultra-strong, solid rubbery material. These columns when joined together form a waffle-type pattern. Each column wall is shared by adjoining columns which work together to give you the right support and pressure relief. But how does it do what other technologies can’t?  Intelli-Gel uses an engineered process called column buckling. Column buckling means that each column of Intelli-Gel will support a certain amount of weight. If the load gets too heavy for that column, it will buckle and not push back until the weight has been taken away. In the recessed areas of your body (your back and side), there is not enough weight on any one column to cause buckling, so it stays firm on your back, but on areas that protrude (such as your hips and shoulders), the columns give way easily. When one column buckles it redistributes the load to the surrounding columns. If the pressure is still too high, those columns buckle and the load goes to the next wider ring of columns. It’s this concept that makes Intelli-Gel work so well. The pressure hot spots get a reduction in pressure which makes the low pressure areas get the additional pressure (support) that they need. Because each column is engineered to the human comfort threshold, it is self adjusting no matter your total weight or body shape. It’s the experience. . . Intelli-Gel offers a unique feel that you have to experience to believe and understand and appreciate. We invite you to come into any of our MyComfort stores and find the Intelli-Gel Sleep System that will work wonders for you just as it has for so many others. If there are no stores in your area, you can still try Intelli-Gel with our no-nonsense comfort guarantee. Why go through another bad night or another bad day after a bad night?
