iComfort by Serta Review & Giveaway *
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!

It really does look awesome!
Our mattress is getting pretty old and my husband and I both have back issues. This would be great to relieve some of the pain we have. Thanks!
this would be great for my little girl she is now ready to upgrade to a big girl bed and would love to have this as a surprise when we re do her room for her while she is away fingers crossed thanks for the awesome giveaway
I would love this because my 5 year old daughter refuses to sleep in her bed because it’s old and uncomfortable. So she sleeps with us!! We’ve been looking at mattresses but have to save a little more money so this would be wonderful!!!
Jennifer Woods. God bless you. xxoo

Thanks
Stefanie Haluk
This bed is amazing!!!
I play roller derby. I am sore ALL THE TIME. Our mattress is horribly old and a relic from my future inlaws, and it’s a queen bed. And we just don’t fit anymore.
If we won a new mattress, this would pretty much make my year, which has been pretty sucky. <3
Because I am tired of all my back and neck pain!
We have a mattress from when we were first married. It’s 20 plus years old. Plus getting older I think we need a lot more support and options.
We are still using a waterbed :(
I would love to win this me and my husband need a new mattress so bad but we cant afford to get a new one :( To win this would be amazing!!
I am needing this bed because I do not have an adequate bed for my health needs. I need to be able to elevate my upper body and also raise my legs a bit. I also have a big problem with pressure because of bad hips, damaged shoulder joints etc. A good nights sleep would make such a change in my productivity, mood, and behavior. My family thinks I am a bear !
ORGANIZED
This is a beautiful bed and I would love to get rid the old lumpy bed I have! :)
I would love to have a new mattress! Yes!
I Really, Really need a new mattress!
I really,, really, really need a new mattress! lol Thanks for the contest!
I need a new mattress because mine is completely worn out!
My family has always sworn by Serta — I miss the one I had before I moved into hubby’s house :P
My mattress is sooo old and hurts my boyfriend’s back. We could really use a new one!
My body needs the support and the better sleep right now.
My fiance and I bought a house together and we NEED this bed because as of right now we are sleeping on an air matress! We gave our beds to my girls and need one for us….and the dog. :)
I tweet and fly by night as Tooth Fairy @toothfairycyber and during the day I work as a Certified Dental Assistant. Sitting and leaning over as I clean teeth on patients at work is hard on my neck and back. Sitting in front of computer screen can cause posture problems too. I need a good night’s sleep on a comfy new mattress. My mattress is totally old skool and needs to be updated, believe me! Dats da twooth!! Keeping my wings crossed to win.
my mattress is about 15 yrs old and has just about had it plus due to my accident i had when i was 16 ended up with back problems should of had surgery but was given a 50/50 chance so opted out of it and now that im getting older my back really bothers me so this would SO WONDERFUl TO WIN!!!!! thanks so much for such a GREAT giveaway thanks so much
After having a fall in the front yard, ended up in back surgery and still have another operation to go I know my back will thank you for ever knowing I’ll be able to rest easy. Thanks for the opportunity to win this great prize.
I would <3 to be chosen as the winner of the iComfort Sleep System!!! Because, in December 2006 I was t-boned by a semi and have had back problems ever since (Lots of sleepless nights.) and I know having the iComfort Sleep System would make a world of difference in the quality of my sleep; not to mention, my life.
Pick me PLEASE!!! :)
if I win, this would be the first new mattress is our life
Got to say, of all the giveaways I’ve entered, this is the one I’d love to win most! Our bed was a handmedown from a friend when we got married – 12 years ago. Nuff said! ;)
I would so love to win due to my husband and I both have back issues. He has 3 hearneated disc in lower back and I have 3 in my neck. So sleeping is a toss and turn all night for both. Cant get a new mattress being parents of 3 children at home. We got our last mattress 20years ago.
This would be amazing to win! Tried one out in the store the other day~~
We were just talking about needing a new mattress!!
This mattress looks like the answer to our problems. We’ve been discussing a new bed. I have fibromyalgia, getting comfortable is a challenge at best. My husband gets so hot trying to sleep he can’t stand it. We both need the adjustable incline. Ooooh, this looks very interesting.
I have fibromyalgia really bad and asthma. So it’s really hard for me to get comfortable and I hardly ever sleep 6-8 hours without waking up (even with sleeping pills). It would help my health greatly to have one of these beds!
This mattress would mean the would to me and my husband, he only works seasonal, here in Maine, and he has back issues, I have hip and leg issues( just had one operated on) , and we have been trying to save enough money for a new mattress that would help us sleep at night, but bills just keep getting in the way. Oh we love to win this.
for bonus code 05/18/12 i put the code in but i wasnt sure if u were supposed to leave ur FB name i accidentally closed the window to fast so my FB name is Myra Rzepa thanks and sorry!
We work full time & have two little ones under the age of three. We’re ALWAYS tired! This mattress sounds wonderful!
Our mattress is really uncomfortable. It has a dip in the middle so we both end up rolling into the middle. A new Serta mattress would be wonderful! Thank you
This is possibly the most amazing giveaway! Crossing my fingers! Momma needs a good night’s sleep…
KK
OMG, I want this so bad. I have such bad migraines, this would HOPEFULLY help! :)
Hi Crissy! I like your site — this bed would be great to grow old in! I’d never have to buy another bed again!
i have fibromalgia and it would help my pain pressure points
True story: Just day my family and I went to the mall, and my husband fell in love with this bed. It is the best thing I have laid down on in a long time. I thought this might be some kind of “sigh” that I found your giveaway today AND laid on this bed in the same day. So hereI am. :)
I need this mattress so I can finally get a good night’s sleep
Who wouldn’t want this mattress! I would LOVE this mattress because I’m getting older and body doesn’t bend/mold like it used to so sleeping at night is such a chore to get comfy. I want a good night sleep and I feel I deserve that!
I need this mattress because #1 it’s so awesome, #2 I suffer from sleep apnea and the incline would help me sleep better, #3 I have severe acid reflux so the incline would help that too, #4 I can prove that I actually won a contest to my husband that thinks I am wasting my time on line. #5 Sleeping is my second home, I love dreaming and I sleep quite a bit.
I need the icomfort mattress because it is the perfect mattress to give me a good nights rest. I am a 55-year old grandmother taking care of her two grandsons aged 3 & 4. I also have several health problems that the icomfort mattress would elevate. I can already feel the comfortable sleep I would get sleeping on the icomfort mattress.
I would love a good mattress becaouse ours is lumpy and we both roll into the middle. I always wake up with a back ache.
I have been using the same mattress for 16 years. i think it’s time for a new one.
I NEED this mattress because my fiance and I still sleep on the one he had before he met me, over 7+ years ago, and who knows how long he had it before that! We are getting married this summer and this would be such a great addition to our home. We also co-sleep with our 3 year old, and definitely need a bigger bed!
Thanks for the giveaway!
I need this mattress because mine is so hard and uncomfortable. My husband has back problems and our bed makes it so much harder on his back. I am in my third trimester of pregnancy so now it’s killing my back and neither one of us can get comfortable. This bed would be great!
I need a new mattress< I have scoliosis, compressed discs causing sciatica I lived with the numbness from the spinal compression for about 7 years before it turned into pain. Pain so intense it fells like my back all the way down to the bottom of my foot is on fire burning and throbing. I can't get comfortable in my bed anymore, it is a memory foam mattress but it is old (I paid $150 for it new it is that old). Like any mattress memory foam breaks down overtime and mine has broken down. I sleep with numerous pillows just to get comfortable enough to pass out for a couple hours. If I sleep on my back I sleep on a small neck pillow in the arch of my back and 2 or three pillows under my knees. If I move the slightest bit I awaken from the pain. I am on a rather strong prescription medication for the pain and anti inflammatory medication. If a bed could give me a good nights sleep it could anyone!
AS a Desert Storm Vet I am %30 disabled in my legs and lower back and I really need this bed to continue on as a civilian. I tried the Genesis with the adjustable frame today but with my disability pay and my residual income I cannot afford such a luxury. Please help me continue on being a contributor to our every hurting economy.
Sincerely, Daren Connell
I could really use the mattress. I am a college student who is moving into my first apartment. The mattress would be great for my back and also my wallet.
I have problems trying to get comfortable at times when going to sleep and this mattress looks like it would definitely help.
It’s not too enjoyable to wake up and have your shoulders &/or back hurting at times because of how you end up sleeping.
to help my poor achin’ back
I would love to win this mattress, our mattress needs the boot, we wake up in pain almost every morning from a bad nights sleep!
Hi, my name is Judy and my husband (Don) had a major stroke in 2008 at 51 years old. He spent several months in hospitals. The stroke left him paralyzed on his left side. All I wanted was to be able to sleep next to him when he came home. But, he could not sleep in a flat bed so, he is now in a hospital bed. I’d love to win this bed for the both of us. PS Women don’t get mad at your husbands for snoring. Now, it’s music to my ears, he’s alive! Thank-you for listening. Judy Cooley
Thank you very much for the opportunity! I have never had a new bed, it would be amazing for dear hubby’s back!!

i need this bed because im posturepedic cushion firm bed has been killing me since i bought it. After exchanging it once i could not exchange it and I have not been able to afford a new one. This would be the most awesome gift for myself ever. i have a bad neck and muscle injury, it does not help to have such a terrible bed that contributes to my pain as well as my lack of sleep. I hope I win I need it more than u know.
I need this serta icomfort system for my mom because her other one has molded from water damage and she cannot afford a new one because she is on a fixed income.
i need a new mattress. been sleeping on same mattress for about 20 yrs at least. back hurts, cant afford to buy new one. would love to win this!!
Our mattress was given to us when a family member was moving. My husband wakes with such bad shoulder pain. I REALLY need this mattress

I NEED THIS!!! my hubby going to start sleeping on a cot!!!
Grandparents need good rest to love the babies! A new mattress would help for the busy overnights.
My mattress is Really old — need something more comfy!
Need a great sleep
thanks for the giveaway
Our mattress is over 12 years old and no support. My husband has had 2 back surgeries, 2 knee, shoulder and it would help him feel better and sleep better. We are both on disability and not able to purchase one at this time.
Would be awesome for my husband! He has scoliosis and I can only imagine how great this would be for him! Oh yeah, and as a mom…a great night’s sleep is a bonus!
tweeted again today thanks for this opportunity to win this i so need this mattress thanks…
I end up on the couch every night, I can only handle about 5hrs on my current mattress and then it kills my back, could really use a new one
My husband was struck by a car 2 years ago and has had horrible back pain from recovery. This would be amazing for him instead of our old worn out matress!
Thanks so much for the giveaway and the chance at a comfortable nights sleep! Hubs and I definitely need the new bed!
getting married in 2 months and need a mattress!
I Sooo need this :)
I would love to win this contest! My husband and I have always put our children first and have gone without for ourselves. Well the kids are grown now and on their own now and we are empty nesters. Needless to say we are now not sleeping together because we cannot afford a new mattress. I sleep on a twin mattress and my husband sleeps on an old pool table covered with quilts.. no kidding. He has back issues and it takes me forever to get comfortable and fall asleep. I too have health issues. I know this mattress with all its quality features would be a dream come true! Thanks so much!
BUSYDAY
my husband and I have never had a new mattress our current one poked me so I flipped it over until we can find a way to replace it, guess it was trying to tell us something, and this would be wonderful as my husband and I both have back problems from injuries.
I need it because I sleep with a crazy wiggly 7 year old each night and get kicked and punched everywhere.
Sleep is important and a high quality mattress is indispensable.
Would love to win this! Really need a new mattress!!
I need this bed badly because I have Fibromyalgia and I need a very comfortable bed in order to sleep. I have one now that is ok but sometimes it is really painful to sleep on.
Would certainly love to try some comfort – I need something that will help me with some decent sleep and muscle pain!
I would love to win this bed because the bed I have now makes my back hurt terribly. I got it free from craigslist, so no telling what kind of germs and bacteria are lying in it. I also have my two year old son sleeping on it with me. I would love a new bed so I could know what and who’s been sleeping on it…..and also to help my back feel better.
We need a new mattress because ours is over 30 and that means that it is full of dead skin cells and is getting too hard to turn. We both wake with back and neck aches. Thanks for the giveaway.
Oh how I would LOVE to win this!
If I had already commented please disregard previous. We really need a new mattress because ours is about 32 years old! Which is 11 years my senior. Not to mention it’s basically fabric covered springs now. Oh and to top it off, my son puked on it and the cat decided to use it as a potty. Yeah, we desperately need a new mattress but it’s not in the budget yet.
Need a good nights sleep sooooo bad!
I am disabled with a very painful condition that has taken over my life. Unfortunately I have had to use a chair as I dont have a bed. I am so tired and in so much pain. I have no living relatives to help me and I have 4 beautiful children to take care of which doesnt leave much left for a bed for me. I am so tired and really want to finally be able to have a real nights rests and not have to be in so much pain anymore. If I can win this bed then my wish would come true.
I would love an iComfort because i’ve had back problems since I was a young girl. I have never found a bed that allows me to sleep throughout the entire night. I toss and turn like a mad woman! I can’t afford something like this right now but I won’t say i’m not trying. I kid you not, I have an envelope on the kitchen counter with “Bed Fund” written on it. I’ve saved up 20 some odd dollars. & that is the God’s honest truth.
i haven’t had a restful night rest in 20 years!
Cosleep with small child, our mattress is a hand me down. Would like something better for the both of us. <3
As a mom of 6, I NEED this mattress for a good night’s sleep after a busy day!
Would be fabulous to get a new bed that doesn’t sink in the middle and be able to wake up feeling refreshed instead of achy & stiff!
Our mattress is soooooo old, we could really use a new one. Hate waking up sore all over.
Wow…my husband and I were just married 2 months ago and we would LOVE this new mattress. Sleeping has been proving a challenge and we are at our wits end and ready for a change. This mattress sounds like an answer to our sleeping needs!
My husband has been wanting a new mattress for the past 3 years as we bought a cheap $200 one when we first got married.
tired of waking up sore

15 year old mattress with no spring left :(

I don’t sleep well at all. In fact, I should be sleeping right now.
We need a new mattress so bad. There is a permanent indentation in our mattress and the metal bars beneath it are even bent. We wake up every morning still feeling tired, and I think we should own stock in Aleve because we use it on a daily basis for our back pain.
Mine is 9 years old!

My hubby is just returning from deployment and hasn’t had a good nights sleep in over a year. It would be amazing to have this for him. :)
My nickname for my mattress is The Big Valley and I have to sleep down in that valley. That’s why I desperately need this wonderful Serta Mattress!
My poor mattress is so old and it desperately needs to be replaced! I wake up stiff in the mornings with a sore back.
I need it because my mattress is lumpy and it would be better for my back.

My husband has been begging for years.
I could really use the ‘sleep cooler’ feature, especially down here in florida!

Our mattress is awful! I’d love to get a really good sleep.
Our mattress is over 10 years old and would love a new one.

Thank you for your site and this giveaway!!!
I need this mattress so I can get a good nights sleep. I get up every morning and feel as if I haven’t slept at all. I wake up at least every 2 hours. My back hurts and my kneck hurts. I then Have to drag myself through 12 hours of work. I believe if I could get a good mattress that provided me with awesome rest I could perform my job better which would make me happier.
My husband 3 year old son and I recently had to move in with my mother because of financial troubles. We used to have a king size super uncomfortable bed and had to get rid of it because of no space. We were air mattressing it until the dog popped it so now we sleep in a mattress pad on the floor. I need this bed BAD!
