I recently purchased the IComfort Revolution and have had it about 30 days. I am not sleeping any better than with my old mattress and I feel it still may be too firm. It feels really soft when I sit on it but I still feeling pressure (side sleeper) when I am lying down. I have back problems and they are definitely not any better (possibly a little worse). I am 63, 5'2" and 139 lbs. I was orignally going to purchase the Prodigy but the salesperson suggested I get the less expensive Revolution and if I don't like it then upgrade to the Prodigy. This will cost an additional $500 and if I don't that one--I'm stuck. I haven't seen any reviews on the Prodigy model. When the Revolution was delivered it did NOT have any odor. It DID feel like the one in the store but sleeping on it is not the same as testing it for 10-15 minutes. One poster felt the Revolution was the softest and most plush of the IComforts. But the Serta website says the Prodigy is the most plush. I would love to get some opinions before I switch beds. Thanks for any help.

| Hi.. I am 2 weeks into the Prodigy.. it is replacing a defective 2 year Springfree Sealy latex which I loved, however they do not make them anymore. This Prodigy ended up costing me another 1500 on top of my credit from the latex..Unreal..to say the least. I just went back to the store today to express how uncomfortable I am on this mattress and they told me to keep it for at least another 2 weeks to let it condition to my body. I was told to walk on it to soften it. It is soft where my hips and back and head lie but my legs seems to have noplace to be cushioned. I am a stomach sleeper and in that position from my knee down to my foot seems to be suspended in air. Thus leg pain has now become a new way of life. I want to love this mattress as I am so frustrated with the entire mattress industry. So many choices and so many bad reviews on all of them. I also have noticed that I am tossing and turning all night with no decent sleep whatsoever..My husband can sleep on anything and he never tossed or turned on the latex but several times a night I notice he is tossing all over the place. However he likes the mattress!! I never had a disturbing smell to the mattress on arrival. I do seem to get hot during the night kicking off the sheets and comforter and then it goes away. I struggled with the decision to buy this beast and now am thinking it was a big mistake and perhaps I just needed a good coil bed..wondering if all this hype on memory foam and latex is just another way to boost prices for the consumer.. I did a ton of research on memory foam and found much to be said for helping hip and sciatica problems and back issues, which I have my share off, but up to last night I cannot see where this bed has helped me in any way. I do wish Serta made this bed with a softer tuffted top for comfort and then the memory foam for support.. something is missing and cannot put my finger on it. I am also waiting for my free pillows.. I will re-post on this site in another 2 weeks to tell of my progress or plight....Just had to write after I saw some conversation on this mattress, wanted to share my experience.. Good luck to all my fellow shoppers in the hope of finding the right mattress. |

I've had the prodigy for over 7 months now and LOVE IT!!! Some of what I read here seems to be complaints about things that really aren't the mattress's fault. For instance, when you sit on memory foam, YES it does compress, but when you lay down on it, it's balances you out. The Prodigy is SUPER soft, yes, so if you want something more firm, then buy the revolution, don't blame the prodigy for being a soft mattress when it's supposed to be. I love mine, i have a bad back (surgery 5 years ago) and I have RA. So I need support and soft for both of those problems and the prodigy has worked. I have reduced my pain and arthritis meds down over $130 a month, so bascially I have paid for my bed! I do have the adjustable, which I know helps a ton. I rarely toss at night any more, if I move positions once, it's usually because I got up to go the bathroom. Otherwise I wake up exactly where I went to sleep. I did a ton of research before buying this, and laid on beds for hours at a time in stores, and this was the only one that didn't hurt my back and my hips. I also seem to notice that most people online complain about beds, but rarely do you see compliments. I think this hurts people trying to buy because all they see is complaints and very little positive posts. IT's a shame. like I mentioned before, it seems most people's complaints are about the product not doing something that it's not supposed to (not in all cases but many) If you want a very firm bed, prodigy is NOT the answer. If you are a side sleeper, and want some cushion, then the prodigy is likely going to be good. It's a shame that some of you had to deal with bed stores that don't believe in customer service. The place I purchased was awesome to deal with and explained all the products very well which helped me make a good decision. good luck |
| Hi Circopy....well another week or 2 has gone by and I think the Prodigy is getting better, or I am allowing myself to do with what I have. The people I dealt with were very informative about the different I Comforts.. and they put me on the Prodigy because it has alittle latex in it to keep it firmer. I had laid on the Revolution and in the store it was quite a bit softer than the Prodigy..and while laying on it I started having hip paint after 10 minutes.. they all are softer in the store. I think right now I am in a love/hate relationship with the entire bed. I still find myself tossing much more than I ever did with the solid latex I had, but some of my back pains and hip problems seem to be better. I really do not know what other bed I would even consider swapping this out for. I do not like how the coil beds feel and am so disgusted with all the mattress choices and high prices that you have to pay and if you make a mistake it's not like you can just keep swapping these out.. Seems to me there should be some control on this industry because no matter what site I go on for info tons of people are frustrated with making the right choice... I will post again in another few weeks to tell how I am doing.. but glad you are happy with your bed, you are the only one who seems to have posted having the bed for x amt. of months and still are satisfied. Thats a good thing.. Wish me luck with The BEAST>>> |
 I had back surgery five years ago on L4,L5.S1 and now am possibly facing another surgery for L3,L4. I did loads of research and enjoy being in a cooler bed so went with Icomfort Genius versus a Temperpedic. I initially liked the firmness of the Genius, but after 3 weeks I was desiring a little more cushion. I was sleeping okay, but I decided to have the Prodigy Plush delivered after going back to the store and trying them all out again. So I am a few days over a week having the Prodigy and I really seem to be sleeping well, am actually finding myself sleeping comfortably on my back ( and I have never been a back sleeper) and my usual sleeping on my side is wonderful. I feel I am getting the support to my back but I have real comfort in the top layer that responds to all of your body points. I used to toss and turn throughout the night and I am also waking up in the same position I went to sleep in. I am 64 and feel like I just might have purchased the perfect bed for me. |
| Just an update on the Prodigy Plush. It is a wonderful mattress for me, there was some smell from factory chemicals or whatever for about a week, but that's all gone. I'm sleeping very well, less turning and tossing and this mattress is perfect for a guy or gal who has had back issues. It gives you the hidden support underneath the plush comfort of the top of the mattress. You literally sink to your own body comfort level when you lay down, it is easy and not challenging to turn to another position, and the mattress top returns to it's full form once you are off. I tried all the iComforts and I feel this is the best for the money! Good luck everyone |
