The Big Snuggle
Sometimes a snuggle is more than you bargained for.
And sometimes it’s still the greatest thing ever.
I feel the same about memory foam mattresses (WHAAAT?!?!)

Night 2 – Electric Boogaloo
Boy, were we ready to get to bed in our new Comfor-Pedic IQ 200. The first night, we had slept great, and talked all day about how comfortable our new sanctuary is. After work, we went out for dinner…I had the grilled shrimp & broccoli pasta, and Emily got the salmon and greens…and we headed straight home, excited for what we were expecting to be an awesome night on our new bed.
We were totally right
We had always planned on this part of it being awesome, prop up and read a book, watch a movie, or whatever. We were totally stoked to skim the Netflix and came across this movie, I won’t spoil it for you, but if you like suspense / science fiction / philosophical action/dramas, you won’t be disappointed. The movie was good, for the first 30-40 minutes or so, we were sitting about 30% upright, with a 16% incline on the leg section. I started the massage function, but it was relaxing/distracting so, we opted to leave that off. The movie follows along these 3 friends, who are computer hackers, driving from MIT to CalTech. There are some genuinely strange and slightly creepy moments, and we were totally relaxed. About this time Emily asked me to turn up the movie, but I think that’s as much a filmmaker’s trick as it is related to our relaxation.
I adjusted the audio, and raised both the head and feet sections slightly, so I could sit more upright as the movie was getting really interesting, and we settled into a zero-gravity position, which is just about the bee’s knees when it comes to movie watching comfort.
After the ‘mind-bending’ conclusion, Emily asked me if there was going to be a ‘The Signal 2′ as we still had a few lingering questions at the end. I’m fairly certain that that is not in the works, so we just may never know! I know, troubling right? So, anyway, IMDB has this movie at 6.1 stars, and I would have probably rated it a 7. It was done ‘the right way’ old school suspense building, tasteful use of special effects. It totally had the feeling of a movie you and your buddies could make, even though a ton of people worked on it, it was a huge contrast compared to some of the big budget movies that you can’t help but see anymore. If you liked Cube, The Matrix, or the original Oldboy there is definitely something here for you. Plus you get Larry Fishburne in a HazMat Suit, and that wins.
After turning off the movie, Emily and I decided to lower both our feet and heads to flat and really experienced what the mattress alone could do for our bodies, and I was impressed all over again. The Smart Response system for support in the IQ mattress just silently adjusts making sure I get the support I’m expecting. Overall, you might think it feels slightly ‘firm’ and it is…where you need it. Emily at one point said, ‘It’s a lot firmer than our old bed, but it feels really good on my hip.” Which, I totally agreed with, it feels solid and supportive.
And like that, while we’re getting comfortable, next thing I know it’s morning, and we slept flat all night long!
The bed is super comfortable, even without the added contouring comfort and support of the Reverie adjustable foundation underneath. I got up and walked down the hall, and was making coffee before I realized I didn’t have any discomfort in my foot or back at all, on the second night! I’m betting the relaxing time in the zero gravity position did a lot of good, but waking up without noticing any stiffness in my back, neck, legs, or feet was a welcome surprise.
All in all, we are super happy with our choice so far, and are feeling good about it. I’m looking forward to bedtime again tonight already. Let’s hope I sleep as good as I did last night!

I actually have this same Simmons Comfort-Pedic IQ200 in a king and absolutely love...Waiting on the adjustable part, so interested to see how this plays out... I had a adjustable in a queen and loved so cannot image I would not love it in a king...Also the Bedgear Dri-Tech sheets look great, I can’t wait to get the new Vertex 6.0 underneath my sheets to make the bed even more amazing...

First Morning after sleeping on the new bed.
Great first night with our Comfor-Pedic IQ and Reverie 8Q sleep system. After putting the adjustable positioning through it’s paces, and finding a couple of comfortable ‘awake’ positions to save as presets, we settled on up 7% elevation at the head. That doesn’t sound like that much, but as a broad shouldered person who is often stacking pillows or slipping my arm under my pillow, that subtle incline made my BedGear Dusk pillow with VerTex fit even better than it did before.
I was actually really surprised we kept our feet so high all night! I would have guessed 25%-35% but 53%, I would have never guessed. After going up a little at a time and comparing ‘Position 1′ to ‘Position 2′ just like in the showroom, Emily felt no comfort difference after going up a little more, but my back felt the most relaxed right at 53%. I thought I might want to lower the foot durinng the course of the night, since I sleep on my side most nights, but I slept really well on the new mattress all night, and did not feel the need to make any adjustments during the night.
I should also note, having the remote on either side is awesome. A must have. If I fall asleep, Emily can still make an adjustment without waking me. (The motors on the 8Q are super quiet) If she decided to sit me up straight in bed, I’m sure I would wake up, but a slight adjustment is not going to do it. I downloaded the iPad app after Emily drifted off to sleep, and it reports the percentage of incline as well as all of the functions from the physical remote, I don’t think I’ll use the app nearly as much as the physical remote, but it is definitely cool, and a nice added bonus.
So, how’d I sleep?)As expected the first night is a bit transitional. Our old bed was less supportive and the Comfor-Pedic IQ actively works with your body all night. Which means, when I first laid down it felt a little firm on my hip and shoulder, but as I settled into a position, the actual support core of the bed adapts to your body, and became much more comfortable.
Once the IQ 200 adapted to my position, which took maybe 60-90 seconds, my back and neck muscles all felt very relaxed and not much longer I drifted off to sleep. Between the Dri-Tec sheets and mattress protector from Bedgear, and the AirCool MicroDiamond comfort layers on the Comfor-Pedic IQ, I never found myself feeling warm, and slept comfortably all night.
The first testI’ll report more during the day and again tonight, but putting my feet on the floor this morning…. First realization, I hadn’t realized that the bed sets up higher than the other one did until this morning. There were several height adjustments as the installers put it together, if someone likes their bed lower to the ground, but I was pleasantly surprised at the distance to the floor and the solid support all the way to the edge of the mattress.
Once my feet hit the floor I felt like both my back and feet were far less stiff than they often are in the mornings. Usually I walk around a bit and stretch, and my routine didn’t change this morning, I was taking a mental inventory of any differences in my physical condition that I could observe. I can definitely see doing a lot less of this in the mornings going forward, and getting right on with my day. At least so far, I feel extremely well rested, and in good shape physically. I’m looking forward to tonight already though! Definitely got my Beautyrest.
Bedgear is a great company... Definitely the best specialty pillows , sheets, and protectors I have seen out of my 14 years selling as a Sleep Specialist...We have the NIGHT, DAWN, DUSK & VERTEX 6.0 Mattress Protector ( sleeps amazingly cool) all at stlmattressdirect
