What is the Best Mattress for Sex?

When you’re looking for a new mattress, the first priority is picking something that will allow for a good night’s sleep. With that said, it’s also important to look for something that will make your sex life as enjoyable as can be.

To some extent, this is a matter of personal preference between you and your partner. Many couples find that the best mattresses for their sex life are ones that offer great edge support, motion transfer, and responsiveness. Something else to consider is the quietness of the mattress.

Shopping Considerations

As you compare different mattress options, there are a few particular factors worth noting.

Type of Mattress

Memory foam: Memory foam mattresses often provide the contouring feel that couples desire.

Innerspring: An innerspring mattress can be a little bouncier and more responsive to movement, though there is sometimes some additional noise involved with that bounciness.

Latex: Latex mattresses are especially good for couples looking for something eco-friendly, yet still very comfortable and supportive.

Hybrid: Mattresses made with both foam and coils can offer the best of all worlds.

Performance Factors

Set-up: How long will it take you to have your new mattress set up and ready for use? Is there a white glove delivery service that will set it up for you?

Pressure relief: Some mattresses do better than others at evenly distributing body weight, preventing too much strain on key pressure points.

Spine alignment: Good posture is important for minimizing aches and pains, and spine alignment is especially significant.

Durability: Maximize value by opting for a mattress made from high-end, highly durable materials.

Motion transfer: Motion transfer measures the extent to which your movements in bed disrupts your partner.

Temperature regulation: One important factor in mattress selection? The extent to which your mattress will promote airflow and keep you cool through the night.

Responsiveness: Many couples want a mattress that will be responsive to their movements in bed.

Edge support: Optimal edge support means you won’t encounter a lot of sagging at the corners of your mattress.

Shipping and Delivery

One final consideration as you shop for a new mattress: How long it will take to arrive, and how much it will cost to be delivered. For sleepers in the U.S., most bed in a box mattresses now offer free shipping, depending on the manufacturer.

FAQ About the Best Mattresses for Sex

1. How do sleep trials work?
   From the day your mattress is delivered, you’ll have typically at least 100 days to break it in and ensure it’s comfortable. If during that time frame you decide you don’t like the mattress, you can arrange to have it picked up and donated to a local mattress recycling program. You’ll get a full refund of your initial investment.

2. How can I ensure that my mattress is made with organic materials?
   One thing to look for is an indication that the mattress is CertiPUR certified.

3. Do I need to purchase a separate bed frame for my new mattress?
   Most of these mattresses have bed frames you can purchase separately, although you can also try setting up your mattress on a slatted foundation, a solid platform, or even just on the floor. Bed frames aren’t always necessary for a fully supported mattress
