A comfortable mattress is key for good sex, but so is the right bed frame. Look for one that’s sturdy, easy to clean and supports the mattress with wood or metal slats.
Bounce and temperature control are also important sex-boosting features, and hybrids and latex mattresses tend to have the best bounce. Those with above-average motion isolation are also ideal for couples.
1. Birch Luxe
Designed by Helix, Birch Luxe is a premium mattress that offers a luxurious feel and eco-friendly materials. Its hybrid design combines natural wool, cotton, and organic cashmere with a durable coil base for a comfortable sleep experience. The mattress has a medium-firm firmness rating and provides great pressure relief for back and side sleepers, while also providing ample support for stomach sleepers. It also provides good edge support.
The mattress arrives compressed in a box and takes a few hours to fully expand. Once it has expanded, remove the plastic wrapping and set it up on your bed frame. It’s best to allow the bed to completely air out and break in for a few weeks before sleeping on it.
Couples looking for a mattress with a little more bounce will enjoy the bounciness of the Birch Luxe Natural mattress. However, it doesn’t isolate motion as well as other foam mattresses. The mattress is breathable and cool, making it a good choice for couples who tend to get hot during sleep. The mattress also comes with a 25-year warranty and has several green certifications including GREENGUARD Gold.
3. WinkBed
Winkbed’s Luxury Firm and Soft models feature responsive foam layers that offer a dynamic sleeping surface that is great for sex. This mattress’s plush softness cradles the sleeper with just enough pushback to help keep the spine properly aligned. The foams in this mattress also provide good bounce, excellent edge support and cooling (where some foam mattresses struggle).
In terms of motion transfer, this mattress performs very well – it does not transfer movement to the other side of the bed like many memory foam or latex mattresses do. In fact, this mattress scored 5 stars in our motion transfer category and is a solid choice for couples.
Another benefit of this mattress is its Tencel cover that features a gel infusion to pull heat away from the body. This material is OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class 1 certified and is softer than silk and cooler than linen. It is also hypoallergenic and a very sustainable material. The company’s consumer-friendly terms include a long 120-night trial period and a lifetime warranty that includes full replacement.
4. Bear Elite Hybrid
The Bear Elite Hybrid is a high-grade hybrid mattress that sleeps cool and has great edge support. It starts with a layer of zoned comfort foam that has divots cut into it, which improves breathability and promotes spinal alignment. The next layer is a pocketed spring coil system that provides excellent contouring. This is followed by a layer of copper-infused memory foam that helps to draw away excess body heat.
It has a medium firm feel, so it’s suitable for back and side sleepers. However, if you’re a heavy side sleeper, consider the Bear Star Hybrid or Bear Elite Hybrid (plush) as they have a more contouring comfort. Overall, customers are overwhelmingly satisfied with the Bear mattresses. They are a good choice for anyone that wants a premium bed-in-a-box with a traditional mattress feel and advanced cooling technology.
This mattress is a little expensive, but it does come with a 120-night sleep trial and lifetime warranty. It also partners with animal conservation organizations, so you can rest easy knowing that your purchase supports a sustainable future.
