I think the sleep number is a good choice, as you can make it super firm when banging a hooker, and the perfect soft or firm rate for actual sleeping. $3k with reclining up and down feature, with dual chambers, for each side.

As for the topic at hand. I have a tempurpedic mattress topper in my room (college) and it does the job for sleeping. Sleep like a baby.
As for the sex part....HA ! It looks like a warzone after any type of aggressive thrust session, I feel like I became a gymnast after getting that topper, ended up in positions never thought possible

This why my bed which I happen to make myself is made out of solid Oak, frame and slate as solid oak as well the bed without the mattress weight 200 lbs and it bolted together and does not move. Spent a few nights on bed which were louder than us.

You call them up, they ask you a few questions about how firm you want the mattress, then they ship it to you. This mattress has 3 layers that they can adjust the firmness levels with.

We've had it for a year now and I've never slept better.

I've been looking around and that looks like a good deal for 100% latex. Still $2k for a king though. Is it holding up well? How'd you pick it over the competitors?

Amazon has a $700 one where the top 3" are latex over 7" of foam. Good reviews, but apparently they started using cheap base foam so they're not expected to hold up well anymore. Still...for the price, tempting!

I can't believe no one has mentioned their experience having sex in their Bimmer....either with or without daughter watching.

So what's the deal? Who's tried latex? Worth it? Is memory foam really as bad for vigorous, active sex as claimed?
My wife has scoliosis so we got memory foam. Got it fairly cheap at Costco during one of their promotions. However, the sagginess of it started giving me back problems. After a few years of memory foam we switched to sleep number and its much better. I highly recommend sleep number over memory foam. To your original question, memory foam is very saggy and does make sex more difficult. With sleep number, you can adjust the firmness for sex and then adjust it again for sleeping. The C2 mattress is well under $1k and worth it.

Temperpedic
- weightless model = no sinking in to the mattress = sex - no problem

I had the same problem with memory foam giving me back pain. I switched to the C2 in February and i'm starting to have the same back pain in the morning when I set it to 45. What setting do you have yours on?

Initial impressions of the SleepEZ 10" latex mattress

Sex: Doesn't slow me down in the slightest. All my moves are as good as my spring mattress. It has about as much bounce as a spring mattress...just ever so lightly more damped and dead quiet. Moving from a queen to a king made the biggest difference though. It's a fucking playground.

Sleeping: I've slept well every night, but wake up a little stiff in my upper back and neck. I think it might be too soft. Fortunately, this mattress is reconfigurable. There's a soft, medium and firm layer. I've tried (bottom to top) Firm-Soft-Medium and Soft-Firm-Medium, and will try the stiffest option (Soft Medium Firm) tonight. I may have to return the soft layer for another firm or medium though. Unless you like REALLY soft beds, don't bother getting the soft layer in your order.

We've got a tempurpedic and I like it, can't say I've ever experienced any issues. Sure its softer and so you sink in a little more, but I don't think its a reason not to buy.

However, I do have lower back pain and all the above posts are starting to make me question whether a firmer bed (which to me seems counterintuitive to improving my back) might actually be better after all? I would have originally thought that memory foam which would contour to my spine and support it would be better.

New issues to bring up. I have a memory foam mattress then we added a 2" topper(I like the soft topper on firm bed). Only issues are if you are doing any long term supporting yourself with your hands. The foam sinks on a small pressure point and it absolutely kills my hands(open palmed or clinched) as it crushes or bends my fingers....still better than sleep number for sleeping.
