A good mattress is indeed one of the best purchases you can make! Online stores with a lot of marketing (Purple, Casper, etc) tend to be more expensive to make up for all the marketing though, and I’ve heard stories of off-gassing despite basically everyone claiming “our mattresses don’t do that!”. Did yours smell at all when you first got it?
Not trying to shade your choice at all, I’m just mentioning because I read a lot of threads like this when I was looking for a new mattress. I’ve gotten my last three mattresses from https://comfortoption.com/ and they’re more comfortable than anything else I’ve tried (including my old Serta memory foam block), and a few hundred bucks cheaper than the YouTube/influencer-marketed brands. My sister likes the one she got on my rec too.
Ive tried many others springs or memory foam $2-3k a pop, and nothing compares to Purple. Memory foam is good but runs super hot. Purple is like memory foam but always cool. That looks like a knock off site for Purple which might be fine if you want to save a bit. There’s no off gasing I’ve noticed owning 2 Purple mattresses (master bedroom, guest bedroom). Owning something like the Sterns and Foster Estate is comfortable but eventually the springs give and you get lumps. Ive had a Purple mattress for 7 years now with zero loss of comfort. Do need to rotate them every 6-12 months and the King weighing +200 pounds sucks.
I tried one in the store with my wife and we also determined it was going to be terrible for sex. The Beautyrest Silver BRS900 in extra firm we got has been the absolute best bed for sex I’ve ever been on.
I really like it in extra firm as it provides a lot of support for any position you want. It doesn’t bounce too much like a plusher mattress would which can get tiring if you’re going at it for a while. It is like being on a wrestling mat in a way but it’s much more comfortable. I was skeptical at first and thought I wouldn’t like it. My wife was pregnant when we got it and was very uncomfortable sleeping at night so I let her drive the mattress selection. It took me a few nights to get used to it and I’m absolutely sold on it now. Any other mattress we’ve been on since just leaves a lot to be desired when having sex and we wish we were on our mattress at home.
At first it felt like I was sleeping on top of the bed rather than being “in bed” if that makes any sense. I’d also recommend king size if you have the room. Having the extra room for toys and other accessories on the bed has been great.
Purple bed. Best purchase in my entire life.

I dumped my purple because it was bad to fuck on
Nah, it’s good for that. Temourpedic memory foam was the worst for that.

Can I ask why that mattress was especially good for sex? Like, more than a typical mattress? Asking cause I like sex and have FOMO.

Ok thanks for that! I think I may try out a firmer mattress sometime.

I will say you def want some bounce but not an obnoxious amount
Got the pillow, too cheap to go all out on a mattress.
