"Consumers seem to have no idea about the important relationship that a mattress plays in their relationship," said sex educator Dr. Sari Locker.
A study sponsored by manufacturer Leggett & Platt, found that 85% of buyers don't even consider intimacy when the go mattress shopping.
When using a mattress they thought would be good for sleep, couples found intimacy more difficult which stalled spontaneity. This led to less intimacy all together and a strain on the relationship.
In addition, many couples seem to blame themselves.
Dr. Locker said that one couple was "sinking into it [the mattress] and they thought it was because they were overweight."
However, the right mattress can make all the difference.
"If you're kind of in a relationship rut, getting a new mattress that feels great for intimacy is going to give you a great boost in your relationship because you're going to want to try that mattress out a lot," Dr. Locker.
To find the best mattress for you, Dr. Locker suggests looking for a mattress that is both comfortable for sleep and gives the ability to move for intimacy.
