Halfway through my last pregnancy, we needed to purchase a bed mattress. We had been using a friend’s bed and it was time to give it back and buy our own.
I had been having a lot of lower back and hip pain and wanted a mattress that would support my body well as I slept and minimized those aches and pains. I also wanted a non-toxic mattress that wouldn’t off gas any harmful toxins for me and baby.
After a lot of research, we decided to buy an Intellibed and we are so glad that we did! Here are just a few of the things I love about our mattress:
- It eliminated my nighttime hip pain during pregnancy! It’s hard to be able to only sleep on your side during the second half of your pregnancy and I used to wake up with bruised feeling hips each morning from sleeping on them all night. After switching to an Intellibed, I never woke up with hip pain again!
- It was created to keep your body and spine in alignment while you sleep, which saved me from many chiropractic visits to keep me in alignment. I still went to the Chiropractor some throughout the pregnancy, but far less after switching to this mattress.
- The bed is created with a non-toxic gel matrix that doesn’t emit any toxic gasses and is hypo-allergenic. This was extremely important to me because I knew that many mattresses off-gas and pose a threat to baby and have been linked to SIDS. New Zealand used to have the highest SIDS rate in the world, but after launncing a nationwide mattress wrapping campaign to eliminate all chemicals and off-gasses from crib mattresses, their SIDS rate dropped to almost zero.
- The bed adapts to be firm where you need it and soft where you want it so it works for both my husband and I even though we have different needs and preferences in mattress firmness. We both LOVE this mattress!
In summary, I was so thankful to find a mattress that eliminated pregnancy aches and pains, was safe for baby and I, and helped both my husband and I to sleep better.
