What Makes a Mattress Good For Sex?
People sleep on mattresses, of course, but people also do other things on mattresses. (They read!) Seriously though, sex is a vital part of a happy life. So what about a mattress makes it good or bad for sex?
It’s all about preference
When thinking about mattresses and how they’ll be for sex, personal preference is what it’s all about. The jiggly waterbeds of the 70s seem laughable now that so many high tech materials are available to keep both sleepers and lovers comfortable and supported. You may like the hugging feel of a foam mattress while you hug your partner. Or you might like to bounce around on an innerspring.
Another important consideration is the noise factor. The more support you have, the lower the volume when you are bouncing around.
Foam and gel also absorb motion, so once again it all boils down to what you and your partner like. You may not be able to go to a mattress store to test a mattress out for how it works during sex, but you can certainly get a feel for how a mattress responds to motion and changes in position. Or you can pick a mattress from a company that offers free in-home trials.
Best mattresses for sex
Keeping in mind that sex is a very personal matter, we believe the following mattresses all have special features that make them excellent choices:
- Saatva The Saatva mattress is our #1 mattress overall, and a great innerspring for anyone who enjoys sex on a mattress that has a good bounce to it. The Saatva also has great motion isolation for when playtime is over and it’s time to sleep.
Saatva pioneered online mattress sales and marketing very early on. The money they save by not having to maintain retail stores goes right into the quality of their products. Best of all, Saatva comes with a 120-day free trial with full money back if you don’t like your new luxury mattress. Saatva also offers a host of custom features so you can design your own perfect product. Made with eco-friendly materials, Saatva offers a 15-year guarantee once you commit. - Zenhaven The Zenhaven mattress is the best luxury latex mattress on the market. Latex is extremely responsive. Many Zenhaven customers report a feeling of being propelled across the mattress when they roll over. You can imagine how that might add to your sexual experience on the mattress.
Zenhaven offers a tremendous level of comfort and innovative design. The unique two-sided design means the Zenhaven essentially gives you two mattresses in one. On one side is luxury plush, about a 4 on a scale of 1 through ten. Flip the Zenhaven over and you get a firmer surface, about 8 on the same scale. Made of organic cotton and 100% Talalay American latex, the Zenhaven provides comfort so superior it feels like floating. A 20-year guarantee accompanies the Zenhaven. - DreamCloud The DreamCloud is an outstanding luxury hybrid mattress that has both coils and latex at its core. That means excellent support and significant responsiveness.
Dreamcloud offers a hybrid design that includes a unique micro-spring system and gel-infused foam. Dreamcloud offers supreme comfort whether sleeping or loving, and it is easy to ship and to move. Arriving rolled and compressed, DreamCloud plumps up to a respectable 15 inches once you open it, offering medium firm support for years. A hand-tufted cashmere cover adds a luxury feel to this affordable mattress. Free shipping and a 365-day money back trial makes it an affordable option for any couple.
