Cons
- Edges can feel a little weak to some
Dreamcloud’s Hybrid Mattress provides the best of both worlds for those who like a firm base and a plush top. For starters, the mattress is cashmere quilted with soft foam, followed by a pressure-relieving gel memory foam for the top. As for the inner core of the mattress, individually wrapped innerspring coils are added to help with support, add airflow, and reduce motion transfer. And perhaps the best part about this mattress build is the fact the inner coils are thicker around the perimeter, thus strengthening edge support.

Cons
- Expensive
The Avocado Mattress is made with over 14,000 pocketed support coils that are arranged strategically for pinpointed comfort. We named the Avocado Mattress our “best organic mattress” thanks to the brand’s use of materials like 100% GOLS (Global Organic Latex Standard) certified organic latex, 100% GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified organic wool, and 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. This is a cozy, medium-firm sleeper through and through. What’s cool is if you want to make the mattress softer you can add a two-inch pillow top when ordering.

- Soft side might cause too much sinkage during sex
Layla’s Hybrid combines a mix of support coils and cooling foam for a breathable and temperature-regulated sleeping experience. What’s special about this mattress is you can flip it over and use either side. One is a firm side and the other is a soft side. You’ve got some options here.

Casper Wave Hybrid Mattress
Cons
- Expensive
The Casper Wave is one of the most trusted hybrid mattresses around. The individually wrapped spring coils prevent sinking and add airflow throughout the mattress, while a zoned support foam system up top keeps the body lifted and properly aligned. Lastly, the Wave has just the right amount of cradling top foam without being too plush.

Cons
- Not as cooling as some might prefer
It’s true the Leesa Studio is a foam mattress, but we found it still has enough strength and support for those with active sex life. The Studio feels more like a medium-balanced mattress, so fans of a plush feel would find this a worthy transition to a sleeper that’s firm, but still prioritizes an enjoyable level of softness.

Made with fine organic cotton and organic wool certified by the GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard), the Nolah Natural is a hypoallergenic hybrid sleeper with premium comfort and support. Nolah opted for natural latex to create a special pressure-relieving layer, as well as a Tri-Zone coil system to create a level of firmness.

Cons
- Some might find mattress design to be too soft
If you really love a plush mattress, the Moonlight Luxe is about as far as we’d recommend going without owning a mattress that could limit intimacy. The Moonlight Luxe sits at about a medium soft level, built with pressure-relieving foam layers and trusted springs. What’s great is the construction of the mattress produces little noise and gives just enough sinkage without going overboard.

What Mattress Type Is Better for Sex?
As mentioned earlier, the type of mattress you really want to avoid is something soft, like memory foam. While comfortable, memory foam mattresses are going to cause a lot of excess sinkages, which will likely result in a lot of complicated movements during sex (remember, it will be like moving in quicksand).
The best mattress type for sex is anything from medium soft to medium firm; think on a scale from 4-7. If your mattress is too firm, your bed might cause discomfort in sleeping. You also want to account for noise level, as a firmer mattress could cause some uncomfortable shaking and stirring sound your neighbors (or worse, your kids) might have to endure.
Most hybrid mattresses will provide enough support and comfort for quality sleep and provide you and your significant other with a bed you can be intimate on. Of course, some exceptions can occur, especially when taking a look at dense foam mattresses. So really think about the mattress range first, followed by how the mattress is built.
How We Selected
Men’s Health editors selected the best mattresses for sex by looking for specific qualities that could enhance moments of intimacy, as opposed to hindering them. We ranked each mattress based on design, comfort, and support. We also considered price point, as some mattresses provide a better overall value than others.
