Mattress responsiveness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The website sleeplikethedead.com rates mattress types across a range of sexual-suitability categories, from the ease of movement to position variety. Three mattress types\u2014innerspring<\/a>, latex<\/a>, and hybrid\u2014all tie for the top overall rating. Ultimately, the choice comes down to personal preference, says goodbed.com founder Michael Magnuson. \u201cYou\u2019re picking between the bounce and responsiveness of an innerspring or hybrid mattress versus the traction and ease-to-climax of foam,\u201d he says. \u201cIt depends on the positions you prefer and how athletic your sex is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe rectangle you\u2019re bouncing up and down on can make all the difference when it comes to achieving that \u2018Yes, yes!\u2019 rhythm.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mattress cushioning<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Apply the Goldilocks rule to mattress firmness, advises Keith Cushner of sleep resource site tuck.com. \u201cA too-firm mattress can cause painful pressure points during an acrobatic romp,\u201d he says, \u201cand one that\u2019s too soft can sink under the weight of two, causing back pain for the person on the bottom.\u201d Larger, heavier people need the support of a firmer mattress, while petites will be more comfortable on a softer surface. For couples of different body types, a medium firmness may be just right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
