Posted on Thu, Jul 25, 2013

CAN YOU SLEEP WELL AND HAVE GREAT SEX ON THE SAME MATTRESS?

Lately, it seems everywhere I look there is a discussion going on about mattress materials and which one is best for sleep and sex. I Never thought I'd see this kind of discussion in the media. According to Sleep Savvy Magazine July/August 2013 publication, everyone's talking about what mattress is best for SEX! mattress and foundation 

An actual study was done on the subject. You can go to ultimate-hybrid.com to lean about the study and the results. People who want a great night's sleep and good sex preferred a hybrid mattress over a traditional innerspring, memory foam or air type mattresses. Here are some general facts about different types of mattresses. This is not meant to be complete guide but general information to help you decide for yourself.

TRADITIONAL INNERSPRING MATTRESS

  • Made with steel springs and a variety of types and thicknesses
  • Has cotton, foam or other specialized covering on top of springs
  • Can have boarder of heavy foam around edge of springs 
  • All different price ranges-usually cheaper prices start here

MEMORY FOAM MATTRESSES

  • Made of specialized visco-elastic man made foams with base foam for support
  • More expensive to make but now can find cheaper made ones
  • Excellent body support with no pressure points 
  • Can sleep hotter than other mattresses 
  • Dust might proof and hypo allergenic 

COOL GEL MEMORY FOAM

  • Cooler sleeping material infused with memory foam
  • Slightly more expensive than standard memory foam
  • Great body support free from pressure points
  • Hypoallergenic and dust might free 

SLEEP NUMBER BEDS AND AIR MATTRESSES

  • Can customize your side of bed for firmness
  • Tend to be very expensive
  • Can be noisy due to air pump
  • Middle section uncomfortable if two sides are not equal pressure

LATEX MATTRESS

  • Looks like regular mattress set. The study done on bedding and sleep also discusses age range of person and mattresses. Younger generations weren't as likely to notice difficulties. The older you are the bigger difference in sleep and sex. It was stated that with all types of foam mattresses sleeping was better but sex was more difficult. Springs just don't sink as much giving a better more ridge surface for sex.
