It’s time for a new mattress.

For way too many years, I’ve woken up sore AF due to my expensive but shitty-for-me mattress. Why? Because my wife and I have been sleeping on a $3500 king sized Tempurpedic memory foam mattress. The problem is, I’m a stomach sleeper and I sink into the memory foam and my spine is way out of alignment. Truth be told, I might actually be considered a combination sleeper (stomach, side, back), but whoTF knows? Am I tossing and turning so much because I can’t get comfortable in my preferred stomach position? Again, whoTF knows. On the other hand, my wife is a side sleeper, so she loves the memory foam as it contours and supports her body while on her side. But I’ve had enough, and it’s time for a new one.

Oh yah, there’s one more reason to get rid of this abomination of a mattress. It’s absolutely terrible for sex. One of the “benefits” they market with the memory foam mattress is how it doesn’t disturb your partner while sleeping. As one partner tosses or turns in bed, the other doesn’t feel it as the motion doesn’t transition throughout the bed. Well guess what? The negative with that “feature” is the responsiveness of the bed while doing THE deed. Instead of working with you while you are grooving to Marvin Gaye’s “Let’s Get It On”, the mattress works against you to kill any and all movement. God bless it, if you can’t get it on, how are you supposed to get off!?! For your classic “man on top” positioning, it’s literally like fvcking in quicksand. After a few seconds, your hands are sinking into the foam and you are continuously trying to crawl out of the hole your hands created. Unfortunately for me, I don’t have pet ferrets to help get me out of that quicksand (yes, that was a Beastmaster reference). Anywho, it’s truly a nightmare when it comes to happy fun time. It’s time to move on.

So here are my requirements:
- supportive for her to sleep on her side
- supportive for me to sleep on my stomach
- good responsiveness for pornstar-like sex 😂

And last but not least, it can’t be a Sleep Number bed. For some reason, my wife refuses to get one. She considers them “blow up mattresses”. IDK, maybe she fears my newfound aggressiveness in a new bed will be too much for a sleep number to handle? 😂

Happy Thanksgiving! Gobble gobble!

Sleep number, take her to the store. Both have your own psi and for sex, make it as hard as you need. When done, go back to individual psi

My wife and I sleep differently and need different levels of support and firmness which made finding a suitable mattress for both of us nearly impossible.

I ended up reading a lot on Reddit. There is a TREMENDOUS about of knowledge on the mattress subreddit and I'd encourage you to try looking there for information.

Through Reddit I found out about customizable latex foam mattresses. They will make the mattress differently on the two sides of the bed. This allowed each of us to get what we wanted. We've had it about 6 months and are quite pleased.... It has solved our sleep problems for sure.

I researched a lot and went with https://foamsweetfoam.com/ for the mattress.

For what is worth, latex foam is bouncier than memory foam.

Good luck!

We have been going with less expensive mattresses and changing out more frequently. Tuft & Needle has met our needs which are pretty much the same as yours. Plus founders are State Alums.

My wife and I had a Sleep Number bed for close to 20 years. It needed a new topper and controller. And it also needed to be pumped up more often, so there was probably an issue somewhere in the air mattress. For the most part it was a very good bed with a good life span. I decided to switch it out with a Tuft and Needle and unfortunately within a year we had to buy topper for it. It’s OK, but that’s way too quick to need a topper. To be honest, I am upset with myself for not purchasing another Sleep Number. Sleep is a huge determinant of your health status.

Quite often you can get motel mattresses really cheap! Well broken in, just make sure they're treated for bed bugs.

This is what you need---Posturepedic. Wife and I got one 2 years ago and its been amazing. You'll need to go try out all the options. She sleeps on her side and had hip pain---she no longer does. I am a stomach sleeper as well and have to issues. Takes about a month to adjust but her pain went away immediately. We tried a sleep number a few years back and didn't like it. May have been the fact I saw them put it together and thought I paid too much for a ballon.

For the pornstar sex problem, get the base that adusts into numerous positions. Its very quiet unless you put turn the vibration on in which case it sounds like the bed will come through the ceiling!

Yes, the OP has found out there's a reason people still buy inner-spring mattresses. For about the last 10 years we've bought old-fashioned firm inner-spring mattress (Ikea sells for around $500, do not settle for plush) and add 2 or 3 inches of good quality viscose memory foam underneath a cotton mattress pad. Best bed we've ever had and one of the least expensive.

Time for a little truth and tough love here. DON’T BUY A NEW MATTRESS!

Admit it, it’s not the memory foam mattress destroying your sex life. You are getting older and just are not the young buck you once were. You have convinced yourself and even your wife that it is the old mattress.

It’s ok. Father Time never losses.

So what happens when you get a new mattress.

The truth will com e out and wifie will realize her old man just doesn’t have it any more😿

Better to keep the old mattress and live the lie.😉
