I tried out the Intellibeds today and I was reasonably impressed.  Searching here I found a few posts back in 2007 but not much since.  What is the collective wisdom on the product?  Any current users and their experience?

to be honest its been so long since I laid on an intellibed I could not say.  plus between all the different models that are made it makes it a little difficult to compare one brand to another, still have to compare mattress for mattress.  when I laid on the double gel from nexgel I couldnt feel the honeycomb collapse at all, not unless I was sitting on it.  and in that case the bed did not feel comfortable to me, with the single gel models I can feel the gel do what it is intended to do and I quite like the feel of it.

The best description I can think of with the NexGel is "crunchy" when I changed position.  I immediately discounted it.

Howver, the Intellibed didn't have the crunchy effect, but as I changed position, I could hear/feel a slight, muffled sensation.  On my side, it was quite nice. 

I know most mfg. are putting wool, waffle foam, etc. as a topper in there design, but I'm thinking that the gel may be the ticket (for me), just don't have any long term users to confirm or deny.
