Sex is one of the most important parts of life so it is important to know if your mattress is up to the task. Many of us love memory foam beds for the comfort and support they give us to ensure a good night’s rest.
That’s why we’ve assembled a list of tips to help you have great sex on memory foam beds.
Bring your mattress to room temperature
While your body may want to stay hot, your mattress will want to be cool, so you’ll want to get your body and mattress at the same temperature.
Ideally, you’d be able to take your mattress to room temperature, but if it’s not possible, try a cool, unoccupied space.
Remove your sheets and bedding
Now, let’s think about why it’s so important to make love on a mattress that’s not completely flat. First, you want to make sure that the mattress is firm.
If you want a soft and comfortable place to rest, you should choose a firm mattress. And second, you want to make sure that the mattress is big.
You want to be able to lie down comfortably on it, but you also want to be able to sit up. You want to be able to reach things that you want to reach and to be able to sit in a chair without bending your knees.
Take off any blankets
While you’re still getting comfortable with yourself, take off any blankets or sheets you’re using. Not only will this remove any existing blankets, but it’ll also make you feel a little naked, so to speak.
This will help you get rid of the impression that you’re some kind of sexual deviant or something. You’re not, so don’t worry about it.
If you have a water-based mattress protector, keep it on
Water-based protectors are definitely on the decline, and I would avoid them. They don’t let you feel the mattress; they’re just there to protect it.
I wrote a post a while back discussing why I avoid water-based protectors. I will say, though, that if you are looking for a natural way to protect your mattress from your fingers (i.e. not using a cover), you can find water-based protectors at most grocery stores.
They’re usually in the foot section, next to the curb-side of the store.
If you have a cover-up, don’t remove it
Believe it or not, this sex tip is important. A lot of men get pleasure from seeing a woman in her underwear, or from seeing her without it.
Whether you choose to wear it or not, remember that this is your body, and no one else’s. You’re the one who’s responsible for doing what turns you on.
If wearing underwear is not your taste, then don’t wear it. But don’t forget that it’s your body, and you’re the one who’s responsible for doing what turns you on.
If you’re using a sex toy, wash it thoroughly
Your hands and body are full of bacteria that can get into your vagina. The bacteria will be fed on the semen and can cause bad smells and skin conditions.
Washing your body will also help clear your skin and keep you smelling fresh. Of course, you may not want to expose your body to bacteria, so you can also choose a cleaner soap.
In fact, some studies show that using a soap that cleans your body also helps reduce the growth of bacteria. This can help prevent skin conditions and bad smells.
Consider using a pro body lubricant
While most body lubricants are designed for use with sex toys or with sexual partners, there are some that are actually meant for women to use on their hands during masturbation or to improve their skin health.
There are some lubricants that contain a substance known as polyacrylamide, which has been found to help women reduce and prevent vaginal dryness.
There are even some lubricants that contain a substance known as bisabolol, which has been found to boost arousal.
Sex on a foam mattress may be difficult, but not impossible
Sex in a foam mattress is possible, but it’s not easy. The main reason that it’s not easy is because the contact between your body and the bed is going to be very limited.
You’re not going to be able to reach your toes when you’re sleeping on your side, and you’re not going to be able to reach your fingers when you’re sleeping on your stomach.
And, the contact between your body and the bed is going to be limited to about 20 percent of the surface area of your body.
That means that your buttocks and your chest will touch the bed for only about 20 percent of the time that you’re in the bed.
The problem is that, even when you’re lying completely still, you’re not going to be able to get contact with your body and you’re going to feel like you’re not being honest with yourself.
That 20 percent contact that your body has with the bed is what helps it to determine what position you should be in.
Try having sex in a different place all together and compare the experience
Most people enjoy sex on a mattress, but sex on a floor can be different and unique. When you’re sleeping on a floor, you’ll want to be in a comfortable position.
Your bed will be the place you sleep at night, so it’s important to be comfortable there. That way you’ll sleep well and wake up feeling refreshed.
You’ll also want to be near your bedroom because you don’t want to get caught sleeping on your floor.
Of course, you don’t want to be near your front door, because that’s the kind of door that you don’t want to wake up through.
