The 10 Best Mattresses For Sex

Helix Midnight uses premium materials to deliver pressure relief, edge support, and the bounce couples should appreciate. The bed is 12 inches tall, featuring a Soft Touch Design cover, DuraDense foam, coils, high-grade polyfoam, and Memory Plus foam. Side sleepers should benefit from the medium firmness of the pressure-relieving memory foam.

The 8-inch coil unit is made from steel for maximum durability. Each coil is wrapped individually to minimize motion transfer for couples with different sleeping preferences.

What stands out about it?

• The Midnight’s Soft Touch cover promotes cooling, helping hot sleepers sleep better. The coil unit improves airflow, preventing the foam layers from overheating.
• The Helix Midnight has the right amount of bounce for sexually-active couples. The coil unit is between three layers of foam to support the weight and prevent sleepers from sinking into the bed.

Need for more bounce? Saatva’s flagship bed is made with two separate coil systems, making sure that repositioning is a snap without compromising comfort and pressure relief. The first system uses micro-coils to mold to your shape, while the other’s interconnected coils are designed to improve durability and minimize sagging.

What stands out?

• For couples, edge support can be a crucial characteristic, letting both people enjoy the entire surface without sagging. By extending support consistently from edge-to-edge, Saatva’s surface area is maximized, and partners who need space shouldn’t have to worry about rolling onto the floor.
• Unlike a lot of online brands, Saatva is delivered full-size by professionals who will haul out your old mattress for free. This high-end touch adds to the experience of affordable luxury provided by this tall innerspring mattress. Depending on your preference, you can order the bed in either an 11.5-inch profile or a 14.5.

Winkbed includes three firmness options for all sleeping positions. Back and side sleepers should benefit from the zoned support of the coil system. The design contours the body, allowing the shoulders and torso to sink enough for pressure relief. Winkbed has comfort layers to align the spine, but heavier stomach sleepers may want a firmer model.

Winkbed’s comfortable design starts with the EuroTop made of 2 inches of gel-infused foam. The second layer is the 2.5-inch SupportCell foam, followed by individually-wrapped coils and a 1-inch layer of polyfoam.

What stands out?

• Winkbed mattresses are sourced and handcrafted in the United States. This means that you may notice a small variance between mattresses.
• The cover is made from Tencel, which is a biodegradable material. The bed holds OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 Class 1 and CertiPUR-US® certifications.

DreamCloud brings luxury materials and innerspring coils for comfort and support. The DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid is 14 inches tall, featuring five layers and a soft-to-the-touch cashmere cover. The first four layers are made from different foams for pressure relief in the shoulders, hips, and legs.

The innerspring unit has individually-wrapped coils that move independently for best response and bounce. The coils adapt to your body, making it easy to change positions while limiting motion transfer.

What stands out?

• DreamCloud Luxury Hybrid mattress has a heavy-duty gauge edge shield in the perimeter. The reinforcement gives the bed more structure, preventing it from sinking if you sit near the edge of the bed.
• DreamCloud’s foams meet CertiPUR-US® standards for durability, content, and emissions.

This Bear mattress has eco-friendly materials that make it a good fit for eco-conscious shoppers. The construction starts with a cool-to-the-touch cover with HydroCool® technology that keeps it cool throughout the night.

What makes this bed good for sex is the hybrid construction and its responsive layers. The Bear Star Hybrid also has excellent edge support that makes it that much more suitable for couples. The coils go from one edge to the other, allowing couples to use the entire surface of the bed.

Why we like the Bear Mattress:

The Nolah Evolution is available in three firmness levels, allowing sleepers to choose what suits their needs. Back sleepers often struggle with pressure build-up in the lower back area, which the Luxury Firm and Firm Evolution models should help with. 

The Evolution is a hybrid combining coils and foam to deliver the best of both worlds. Back sleepers should like the support and spine alignment the construction provides. The foams provide gentle cradling to relieve pressure, while the coils and firmness keep the spine aligned when sleeping on your back. The coils in this bed are individually-wrapped to supply enough bounce, but without transporting motion, so the Evolution is good for couples and single individuals. 

What makes it stand out?

• The Nolah Evolution features reinforced coils along the perimeter to give the bed solid edge support. This allows couples and single individuals to spread out across the entire mattress.

Nectar claims that sleeping on their Original mattress is like sleeping on a cloud. This is an all-foam mattress with premium gel-infused memory foam that cradles your body and keeps you cool. The Original is rated 6.5 on the firmness scale, so it should give a medium-firm feel that’s not too soft or too firm. 

The construction starts with a quilted cooling cover, followed by gel-infused memory foam. Next is the dynamic response split layer, followed by a stability base layer and a shift-resistant lower cover that prevents the construction from moving around. Couples should appreciate minimal motion transfer that helps them sleep better even when their partner is tossing and turning.

The Signature Hybrid is available in three firmness options. Combination sleepers who rotate positions during sleep should benefit from the medium version the most. Side sleepers may like the soft version the best because it has a more plush feel, helping release tension in the shoulders, hips, and legs. Back sleepers should like the firm version for its supportive feel.

The Signature Hybrid mattress offers contouring support using the TitanFlex™ in the lumbar region. The innerspring unit has 961 individually-wrapped coils for responsiveness and motion isolation couples should appreciate.
