We got one back in May and its different and does take a bit to get used to, but nothing major and its definitely not harder.

Loved the one me and my ex had since movement wasn't transferred the headboard didn't hit the wall (:

I've never been on one, but my partner has a bed with a memory foam top that makes sex pretty comfy. But if the whole mattress was that foam, I'd imagine it'd be a bit difficult...

We have had a Tempur Pedic, a THICK memory foam pad matress and a Sleep Number bed. Bottom line for us? For our "adult playroom" we chose a nice, firm, Serta Perfect Sleeper.

Sex on those other beds was, in a word, unsatisfying. Water creates motion you must work against, and foam makes motion hard. Slept great on the "alternative" beds, and in fact have a very thick memory foam mattress for sleeping, but for play...sorry...give me firm and bouncy. Thank you.

Interesting. We loved sleeping on it, but hated having sex. We just "sank" into it and moving was like moving in sand. Hard to do and no "recoil".

We do love the bounce and indeed, we do love our Sealy (and Serta, which is in our guest room).

Again, we enjoyed a sleep number (our daughter has one in her guest room), but for having sex...not so much.

A mattress is really one of those things where you "get what you pay for". It is one thing we never skimp on. However, it is all about feel. I will go to the store and lay on the bed for a minimum of 30 minutes, on my side, the way I sleep. Less then that, and you really don't know how it will feel at home. Doing this has always lead us to be happy with our purchase. We even had a manager of a national mattress store say to us "nice to see someone who really is not in a rush, and knows how to shop for a mattress"!!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for confirming my suspicions! I've always wondered how on earth people could have sex on those things, part of the fun is the "give" of the bed. If all you do is sink, it's no fun anymore and I can just imagine trying to slide your hand under your mate to lift or reposition and it failing miserably.

i always want to go for the tempurpedic when we get a new mattress, but the thought of how sex would be always changes our decision, we always are like, "can we try some positions before buying?" lol

Instead of speculating, sneak into an Art Van furniture store and have a stealthy quickie on a tempurpedic mattress. U dont wanna spend $3000 on a mattress for it to be crappy.

We've never had an issue with our memory foam mattress. Maybe it took a little extra energy to move around but we didn't really notice and if so, then we are in that much better physical shape because of it.
