Restful sleep.
As mothers, restful sleep is something that we can go so long without, that we may actually forget what it feels like.
For me, during those rare nights when I could close my eyes and sleep, I was kept awake by an old, uncomfortable mattress. Waking up with an aching back is not the way to get the day started with two children.
I was recently given the opportunity to go to a local furniture store to try the iComfort Sleep System by Serta, featuring Cool Action™ Gel Memory Foam. The minute I reclined into one of the iComfort mattresses in the store, a sigh escaped my lips, and it took every ounce of my willpower not to just curl up and take a nap in the store.
No, seriously. It felt that good. It was like being on a thousand bags of cotton candy, or to sound completely cliche… a cloud.
Keep reading to find out more about the incredible technology behind the iComfort Sleep System by Serta, and how you can win your own sleep system — any mattress, any size, any foundation!
I have truly never slept on a bed that even comes close to rivaling the luxury and comfort of the iComfort by Serta. This mattress was made using some incredible technology, and it really is cool and comfortable to the touch.
The Cool Action Gel Memory Foam Features
- Superior Pressure Relief
- More Support Where You Need it Most
- Sleep Cooler
- Unchanging Comfort
- Serta Exclusive Technology
The iComfort mattress is also antimicrobial and dust resistent, which is crucial for our family. Allergies cause us a lot of grief, and I can tell you that I feel like I wake up not only more refreshed in the morning after a night’s sleep on my iComfort, but I also notice I am breathing better — and not so congested in the morning.
More about Serta’s Cool Action Gel
What makes iComfort technology better than ordinary memory foam? Serta’s Cool Action Gel Memory Foam is designed to feel like traditional memory foam…only better! What makes our Cool Action material different is the MicroSupport gel, which is infused into premium memory foam to create an extremely comfortable, more supportive and cooler sleep surface.
You know, I probably could have slept on a stone slab — comfortably — until I turned 30. I would like to think that I am in relatively good shape, but I do have back pain occasionally, and the few hours that I am able to rest and recharge my body are so important to my physical and emotional well being.
I need sleep. Not only that, I need comfortable, supportive, restful sleep, and I get all of that and more from my iComfort Sleep System by Serta.
This mattress? Heaven.
The crazy, over-the-top kicker to this story is the fact that my Serta iComfort came with an adjustable base. That means I can raise the head and foot of the bed electronically, and even use a massage mode when I really want to relax.
I love being able to sit the bed up — it is perfect for my late night work sessions!
Do you want to win an iComfort Sleep System?
Amazingly, Serta is providing an iComfort Sleep System to one extraordinarily lucky Dear Crissy reader. You will go into a local store, test out the iComfort by Serta mattresses and foundations, and choose the bed of your dreams. Any mattress, any size, any foundation.
Good luck!

Sanity Savers: 5 Keys To Curb Stress
My mattress is so old and sags! Ugly too lol!
We just moved back to the States from Germany (we are military) and for the past two years have slept uncomfortably on those hard German mattressess. Right now we are saving up for a comfortable mattress, this one is perfect but we will never be able to afford it :(
My doctor has told me for the last 5yrs that I need a bed like this. But I can’t afford one LOL. I would be SO excited and happy if I won. I had neck surgery about 18 months ago and it relived a some of the pain but not all. He thinks a bed like this will help me.
my mattress is over 10 yrs old and now i share with my 3 4legged girls….i need a new mattress so badly, mine sags….i just hate shopping for them…so confusing…and they have gotten so $$$$…my girlfriend paid close to 3k for a mattress…
my mattress is old and from my college days!
This mattress would really help with my allergies!
My husband is disabled and this would be a godsend for us.
My mattress is 10 years old and really needs to be thrown out but I can’t afford a new one right now. Also it is full size and my 2 year old son sleeps with us but my husband ends up on the couch every night because there is not enough room. I need to reunite my family!!
We really need a new mattress. Ours is old and uncomfortable. My husband and I wake up with aching backs almost every day. And he has had back surgery for his spine and disks so he needs a better mattress.
I put the wrong bonus code in by mistake for today!I’m sorry!I know what it should be for today,but not sure where I need to put it so you’ll know!Thanks!
I was involved in a serious and rather nasty motor vehicle accident on January 31 and am now facing at least 9 months to a year of intensive physiotherapy (3 times a week). I have injury to my left hip and pelvis area, my lower back, my left shoulder and my lower neck. I have lots of trouble sleeping as I need elevation but am making do right now with multitudes of pillows!!! This bed would be a total blessing and make my life a little more bearable!
My husband and I were just talking last night about how we desperately need a new mattress! Our mattress has huge “dents” in both sides where we sleep, with a lump in the middle. This sleep system looks AWESOME!
I need this mattress because I always wake up with my back and/or neck hurting and this would relieve much of that pain I am sure! Thanks so much for offering this giveaway!
I need this mattress because the one I have now is not that comfortable. It would be great to upgrade!
laurenalexis at gmail dot com
would love to win the serta
What a fantastic giveaway!!!
Wow what a great prize! We just started thinking about replacing our mattress.
heavy sigh…. love these beds!
Hello, I need this mattress because mine is 27 years old. I know, YUK! It feels and looks like it too. About 5 years ago my husband got us a foam topper and that helped, but we desperately need a new bed. We aren’t spring chickens anymore and I think our bed is aging us! Thanks for a great giveaway!
Oooh! Our old mattress is getting old and we’d love a new one! Looks like an awesome mattress!
Thank you soo much for the giveaway! I need a mattress sooo bad!
Ha, I guess I was so excited about the giveaway I didn’t post why, lol. My mattress is so old it sinks down in the middle! It’s awful my husband and I wake upevery morning with constant back pains from our bed.
I have spinal stenosis and I can only get shots 6x a year. about two weeks before the shots I’m in mega pain. I can barely sleep at night because of the pain. I sleep 3 to 4 hrs with hubby to be close to him, but then I have to get up & sleep another couple of hours in our recliner (maybe) then I have to get up and walk off the pain with my walker. This goes on for two weeks every 3 months until they can find a cure or what’s wrong. I’ve been told about this mattress, but we just can’t afford it. Every time I find one of these I enter right away. Thanks for another chance.
I entered the Bonus code HUMPDAY for 25 entries for the Serta Matress g. away.
Our mattress is so old & uncomfortable!
this bed looks sooooo comfy i would love this bed i am 21 and i have two twin beds side by side just to have a bigger bed and its hard and im going to be a frist time mom and i am 8 months left and in this bed its gunna feel like a million years this bed would be soooo useful… thanks
because i haven’t had a new mattress in over 15 yrs. ewwww
I need this because my mattress is so old, I don’t know how old it is—way old.
Oh my gosh, do we need a mattress BADLY! Just to give you an idea of how old ours is, it’s a WATERBED!!! LOL My husband has heart problems and has had a lot of hospitalizations – it’s difficult for him to get out of the waterbed & our budget just doesn’t allow for a mattress right now :(
I would love to have this mattress for my mother she has a hard time sleeping in the bed she has now she is in a lot of pain from back trouble
My hubby and I purchased our mattress when we were married – 24 years ago! It’s time!
My husband and I NEED this mattress because our full mattress (given to us) has no more life left in it! We received it after it had been used for 7+ years. We need something that is ours :)
We need this because our mattress is about 10 years old, which isn’t that old, but it’s pretty shot!
What a blessing this would be. Our current mattress is one we got second hand from a friend. My back is begging for a new one…every morning I hear, or rather feel, it complaining.
Hi! What a wonderful giveaway! I really, really,really need to win this! I have a very bad back and my current mattress is over 14 years old so thanks for the chance to win! connie danielson
I need it to get a good night’s sleep….
I need this bed!! I’ve been having a terrible time getting comfortable and sweating at night…!!
anamlgrl@yahoo.com
As a dad with three young kids, getting a good nights’ sleep is essential to survive
;-) This is why we (my wife and I) need this mattress ~ thanks
My husband and I can’t afford new mattress’ and we are way over due. Same bed for ten years now. We got it from a family member so it was never new for us, would be nice.
I really to need this mattress as my Hubby and I have crossed the 40+ age line sleeping has become more of a comfort issue. We have gotten a memory foam topper which has helped greatly but an IComfort Sleep System is just what we need.
http://www.somewhere-between.com
Love it Lots!
I inherited my mattress from my parents. It is from the 70′s. Clearly it is time I need a new one!! Help me!
Sleeping is everything and when I am a busy mom I need to fall asleep as soon as I can hit the mattress. I’m pretty sure this mattress would make it happen!
I need this mattress because I toss and turn all night on the current mattress. I never get a good night sleep and it effects me during the day.
We need a mattress because we have no health insurance and I have taken to sleeping in our recliner. Seriously. Our mattress hurts my back so much.
We need a new mattress so bad. Ours is over 10yrs old…. It is so uncomfortable. Wish we had the money to replace!!
I have suffered with back pain for years (since I was 14)… I really struggle getting a good nights sleep – always waking up with pain. This would be amazing… it looks soo comfortable!!
Thank you for the giveaway :)
This is a fantastic prize!
I need this mattress because I have fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue and I have a hard time sleeping through the night. I can never find a comfortable position. 13 yrs ago we bought a new mattress (the first of our married lives) and shortly after I developed DVT and sometimes I still have a hard time sleeping on the side where the it has decided to just stick. it would be great to have a bed that conforms to me and my husband so we are not affecting the other when we turn or get in or out of the bed.
Too many nights on our lumpy old mattress is making us ornery old folks! Man, do we ever need to win this new bed!!!! Fingers crossed.
i don’t know if anyone else has had the opportunity to lay on this mattress but i did a few weeks ago and WOW!!! this is the softest, most comfortable mattress i have ever laid on in my entire life and i would love to win this!!
Hi Crissy, my niece could use a bed for her daughter!
Hi Crissy, I would love to win this awesome bed for my great niece!
My husband and I both need this mattress desperately. I have been unable to sleep in a bed for 7 years now, due to Fibromyalgia! Our current mattress is so old, it is ridiculously uncomfortable. My husband will be having his second back surgery in a couple of weeks, and I would love nothing more than for him to be able to recuperate in a comfortable and supportive bed! He is always helping others, so what a wonderful surprise this would be for him!
Thank you for this Awesome Opportunity to win!
I need this because our mattress is really old
Have a great weekend!
In need of a new bed & hear this one screaming my name!!! :) Good luck to all!!
I just had back surgery 5 months ago for a herniated disc in my spine… and I’m only 33! *sigh* This bed sounds so divine! Thanks so much <3
This mattress would be awesome! I wake up with a sore back and hips every morning from our terrible mattress.
Need a new mattress because my husband and I both have back problems and right now we have an old waterbed that offers no support and keeps us sleeping at odd angles.
OMG – I haven’t had a good night sleep at home since I can’t remember when. Going through menopause doesn’t help either! I would kill for an iComfort Sleep System mattress, we had these at our time share last year and it was heavenly – I hope I win :)
Our mattress is old, over 8 years old in fact. It would be nice to have a new mattress, that’s for s ure.
I spent alot of my savings on a bed that claimed it would help with my back problems and my back still hurts when I wake up. I cant afford to buy another one so it would be great to win this
I’m a new mother sleeping in a 10 year old mattress.. that was used when we got it! Mama needs some good sleep!
I need a new mattress because mine is old & I have a bad back.
we need this bed because when our kids are in our bed there’s no room for my wife and I
I get stiff aches
I need this mattress because I have a baby and a fiance and we have never owned a bed of our own. We’re very poor!
I need this bed because every morning I wake up with a backache on ours! I’m so, so sick of it!
My husband has back problems and this would be perfect.
I need a new bed I have Chronic Back Pain. And I love memory foam but it is soo expensive on a fixed income. A betters night sleep would help me work better
We currently do not have a bed, actually. We gave it away when my husband deployed and haven’t gotten one yet since he’s been back.. We just entered for fun-we aren’t putting stock in winning. Good luck to all.
I really need this because right now I have a small twin bed and this would be so awesome!
I need this mattress because i was in 2 different car accidents (one i was hit by a car and the other tboned on my side) now i have a horrible back with lots of pain and right now i’m sleeping on the couch because its more comfortable than the bed, i can’t afford something better right now
Thank you for an awesome giveaway and good luck to all!
i need this for my poor back
havent bought a new mattress in a LONG time and its a cheap on not even close to close to how amazing this one looks
after having twins, and a three year old who is an early riser, getting good sleep when i can is a must. would LOVE this mattress!
Our mattress is more than 10 years old and my back hurts (is there a better reason?)!
Thanks for the giveaway.
My mattress is almost exactly 24 years old… I really need a new one!!
My husband and I have wanted to buy a new bed for years now. We’ve moved a lot because of job situations and our bed is old. The box spring hardly has fabric on it anymore and the bed is so uncomfortable most nights we would rather resort to sofa sleeping than actually sleeping on the bed.
I NEED this! My back is terrible and I know it’s becasue we need a new mattress. Crossing my fingers and toes on this one!
This would make a perfect gift for my son who just came back from a year in Afghanistan
We need this mattress so bad. We are still sleeping on my husband’s mattress from grade school :( With him being a firefighter/paramedic, me being a nurse and standing 13+ hours a shift, plus having a 14 month old and two 5 month old puppies-our backs are killing us!
i need this mattress cuz i have not had a new one in 40 years
I really want to win this mattress for my parents. My dad was diagnosed last year with Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS), which is a even more rare version of Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS). He is in a lot of pain and has trouble moving, swallowing, etc. This mattress would help him to gain a lot of comfort at night. They have a mattress that is very old and uncomfortable, but cannot afford a new one due to my dad’s medical bills and I am a college student and cannot afford to buy them one. They would be extremely grateful for this and so would I!! Thank you for the chance to win this for them! They have had an extremely hard time this past year and this would really be a blessing!
what would really be nice if there was a way to GIVE ALL OF US A NEW NIGHT SLEEP! [hint to any rich people!} but of coarse i must be joking right? whats really needed is definetely more than one. theres so many out there that ciould REALLY USE A NEW MATRESS. GOD BLESS
my mattress is old and I’m waking up with back pains it’s time for a new mattress
First let me start by saying hubby’s back surgeries made his back worst,me ,from my emt days,have been suffering with bulging discs and protuding discs like forever,but,the truth is we need this for better night’s sleep which can turn into happier mornings.We’re always in a foul mood.
My husband is a teacher at a low income school & I stay home & blog with 2 boys, 1 of whom has autistic issues. We are exhausted & can’t afford to replace our 8 year old mattress that has been peed, pooped, and puked on! (cleaned of course, but still….)
i need this so i have something nice and healthy for my sleep
me and hubby needs it to get a good nights sleep.

Oh my! How nice! My husband and I just moved to a new state and have been sleeping on an air mattress and its killing our backs! We simply cant afford a bed right now :( We don’t have a couch or a tv either! I hope we are the lucky ones but if not, blessings to the family who wins! xxoo
I think a good mattress–this one looks spectacular!–would solve a lot of my sleeping, aching body issues.
I wanna win this bed for my grandma and grandpa,they are always in pain,because their bed is old and they need a new one.Hope I win for them!
I get way too hot and can’t sleep in a “stuffy” bed, the cool action technology would be wonderful!
I thought I was a sleep number fan till I laid on this at the mall! I have a disabled lil one, a son with asbergers and ADHD! A bipolar husband! This stressed out depressed mama would die on that bed! Please
My bed has that signature 80s design, you know, the splash paint (in pastels)??! SERIOUSLY. Killing me…and the noise it makes…squeeaaakkkks all the time!
After 3o yrs of driving a gipsy cab for a living I find myself with chronic back pain,this bed looks so inviting.Had surgery to correct some discs but sill live with siatica.This bed would be perfect.Hope I’m the lucky fellow to win this bed.
I can’t even remember how old my mattress is!
A new bed OMG I would love to win this as I think Im sleeping on the same one for 14 years it certainly feels like 50 lol.
NeedANap is today’s (5/9) secret word. Clicked enter by accident and didn’t have word typed in :( Sorry!
Our mattress is completely shot, causing my husband to wake up with back pain. We have 10 kids, so every time we set aside the money to get ourselves a new mattress, something comes up that the children need. This mattress would be a life saver!
I need this for my aching back.
my mattress is so old it is looking swayback:(
Really need a new mattress….would love to win the iComfort. Maybe I’ll sleep better and stop looking so old/tired. Big Serta fan…love them!!
I was so happy when I came across this giveaway! I suffer from intense back pain CONSTANTLY. I had issues in high school when I injured my back in a fall from stage during a dress rehearsal. Then I had my daughter in 2007 and that only made matters worse. I recently moved and had to sell my already crappy bed because I couldn’t afford to move all my furniture and wound up having to by an even worse bed once I got to where I was going. Every day sucks now. Every single day. I really hope I win. Please PLEASE let me win.
thanks for all the bonus entries!
This bed looks awesome. The comfort levels must be way beyond that, too!
We would love a new mattress because ours is too old. I also suffer from back pain so this will be great since ours is very uncomfortable.
we have a blow up bed
I do not have a mattress right now that is my own, so having a new one would be great for my family.
I sleep in a recliner because of my back. This would really make a difference – we could sleep together again!
I HAVE fIBROMYALGIA AND RARELY FIND COMFORT IN A MATTRESS…SOUNDS LIKE THIS COULD WORK FOR ME
I’m hoping really hoping that I win this bed,I know this is something very much needed for hubs and me.
My mattress is woo old. Thanks for the chance at a new one!
mine is just not that comfortable i would like another i bought it and it feels like i have to punch it to soften it.
I need this because I have a hand me down mattress that has seen better days, it sinks down in the middle and is so very uncomfortable but I cannot afford a new mattress, with 6 kids they always come first. In fact I have never in my life owned a brand new mattress, I always have had second hand mattresses.
i will like to win this serta for my mother, right now i cant buy my mother a bed and she needs a bed her bed is about 12 years and is caved in the middle she has to put blankets under the mattress.
so i really hope i win this serta…
thanks..
my back hurts on the one I got now
What an amazing mattress! My husband, especially, would enjoy the cool-touch gel!
I’ve tweeted, G+’ed, and Liked the Mexican Lasagna post, along with commenting on it. I need a new bed! :)
I’m always too warm so I would love the Cooling technology!
The benefits of a deep sleep on a good mattress are priceless.
My mattress is over a decade old and has been giving me back and hip problems for some time. Now that I am expecting, it’s even harder some nights! Winning this would be such a gift and blessing. Thank you for the chance!
I seriously wake up in pain every morning because my mattress stinks (thats being nice). I have MS so that makes everything just a little worse :) Thanks for the Opp.
I just got married in December and we’re using the mattress I’ve had since being a teenager and needless to say its not very comfy. We both wake up with aches and pains.
My husband and I both have neuropathy in our feet from being diabetics. I have high blood pressure. It would be so awesome to lay on this and put our feet up at night. I mean, I can’t express how much pain relief it would provide.

I need this because I am sleeping on the same bed I had in my parents house… And now that my 2 kids insist on climbing in bed several days a week it needs to be updated!!
I did test bed on iComfort and it’s a great bed. I would love to win this for my mother’s day!
Ours is old, decrepit, and killing our backs. Having a newborn in the house makes it tough to spend the money on a good mattress. Fingers crossed!
I would love to win this mattress, because I have trouble sleeping and hopefully it would help.
I need this mattress because we didn’t move the old mattress with us when we moved across country. Now I have a mattress frame with no mattress.
I would love to win this mattress. I haven’t slept well in so long!
I’m taking care of my elderly parents. My mom is spending more and more time in bed ( she’s getting close to being bedridden). I would love to win this mattress for her, especially since Mother’s Day is in 2 days. :)
I’m embarrassed to tell you that our mattress is over 20 years old. We have considered getting a new one several times, but then some other, seemingly more immediate need comes up and it gets put off, again. What a blessing it would be to win this!
because i have always wanted a serta! a_chilson@hotmail.com
I need this mattress because our old one is super old. We’ve never had a brand new mattress (always bought secondhand), so it would be really great to have one that was only owned and slept on by us.
I need this mattress because of back and neck problems stemming from an auto accident when I was younger. Also, my husband suffers from diabetes and it would definitely help him rest more comfortably. In addition, our current mattress set is one I had w/ my ex- husband so getting rid of it would be REALLY nice!!!! Lastly, I would love to just be able to SLEEP! I teach school and being able to rest comfortably, get a full nights rest, and wake refreshed in the morning would not only be a plus for me, but for my students as well!
I need this so I can get a good night’s sleep.
I really, really need one of these!! Living with allergies and severe back issues bedding has always been a problem. This looks absolutely heavenly! I’m also on the early train of ‘the change’ and the cool system sounds like a relief to those middle of night rises in my body temp.
Thanks for posting! Thanks Serta for giving one away!
I have fibromyalgia and myofascial pain disorder, which developed after a work accident in March 1993 while working as a nurse. For 18 years I have struggled with pain and sleep. I am always looking for ways to relieve the pain and ways to sleep better. The better I sleep, the less pain I have each day.
I would actually feel rested the next morning if I could sleep on a bed like this. Car accident has left me in a disabled state that will last my lifetime most likely; according to my neurologists, and sleep is the no.#1 thing that would help me heal. Hoping to win it, and thank you for the opportunity! Good luck everyone!
I live in the south, and have an autoimmune disease that makes my tolerance to heat very low. I use cooling mats at night and run 2 a/c’s to try to stay cool. This mattress would mean the world to me, just to have a good night’s sleep. The one I’m sleeping on now is only about 20+ years old :/
Hi, I checked your blog, it’s lovely. I am now following your blog. Entered the giveaway and I need this mattress because, me and hubby haven’t been able to afford a good mattress for a long. I have spent my entire childhood sleeping on the flooring as my family couldn’t afford mattress and other expensive stuff. I need a mattress where me and hubby could cuddle and have a good night and healthy sleep. :)

I need this mattress because ours has about had it. It was wonderful in its day as it is a double sided pillowtop. We have, however, flipped it and turned it everyway possible and it just doesn’t feel comfy anymore. Half the time it’s not just the hubby and I either since children have gotten very good and sneaking in quietly in the middle of the night and when the hubby is gone there are nights when the three youngsters are ALL in my bed. sigh..
We could really use a new mattress!!!!
We need this mattress because we co-sleep with our little one who is getting bigger by the day. We need a larger and more comfortable bed to make sure everyone has a good night’s sleep and wakes up refreshed and ready for the day :)
I would love this! My mattress is over 20 years old and although it is very well made and has lasted a long time, it is no longer all that comfortable.
We could really use a new mattress set considering ours is 14 years old!!!!
