The Love Mattress: Modern Sleeping Solutions for Couples

An "xkcd" web comic expressed a similar idea recently.

Seems like a nifty idea, but you'd have to sleep on the mattress without a sheet. I think it'd get kinda gunky after awhile.

I love the idea, but how will we keep this clean? Will they come with sheets?

http://xkcd.com/335/

LAME, SO LAME. If I ever saw one of my guy friends with this I would lose all respect for him.

Novel means something new. The mattress is novel but the thought of sleeping entwined is not.

nov·el –adjective
of a new kind; different from anything seen or known before: a novel idea.

wow... jerk much?

wtf?

I've always tried to figure out a way to sleep with another person comfortably while cuddling up. This is fantastic.

I doubt that any of your "friends" would lose much if they lost *your* respect. Go get a job.

as far as sheets go.. maybe they could create something like individual almost pillow case like covers for each individual foam slab. a bit ridiculous to wash but well worth it for that bed

This is actually an amazing Idea. I will get one when if comes out because I always have the problem of my arm falling asleep when my girlfriend stays over night.

(Referring to the XKCD Comment)

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking... I'm just too lazy to look for the link

I invented this (in my head to myself) years ago. Its fantastic, an absoloutly wonderful idea! I want one. No need for silly sheets and laundry nonsense. just get a sheet too large for the mattress. That would work?

if your girlfriend wasn't there you could fuck one of the cracks!

Good luck cleaning this thing after you have sex. Ew :(

Custom sheets could be designed that have pleats that go into the cracks at the locations most desired.. It wouls take a while to put them on and get them arranged, but it would sure be better that trying to keep the mattress clean otherwise.

The kids would break/sprain their ankles when they jumpped on it.. wouldn't it go a bit crispy after a few years use with all those "Juices" on it?

shit, even if she is there

If only they had been available 40 years ago!!

Men, be men dammit. I, unlike some I suppose, like to cuddle. But when my arm starts to tingle, its not so fun anymore. So I change the fucking position. You don't need to sacrifice your comfort for your loved one. And if you do, or feel you do, you have oneitous. Get over it ASAP.

All of you morons must have stopped reading before the end.

It says you can use standard bed linens. Christ almighty, reading is fundamental, people!

o.k. great concept if you don't want to use sheets ever.

er, yah... if i ever saw one of my male friends with one of these, i would, like, lose all repect for him because, like, only women and gays like cuddling. like, whatever. if a guy had this mattress it must mean he's like, gay or a cross dresser or something. this idea is like, totally gay. i've never had a girlfriend but like, this is gay. liberachi gay.

/reaches for watery budweiser, kleenex and heads to xtube.com/

Now we know why you never had a girlfriend ...... jus order the matress and excet your gay

(in reference to the other two comments)
I was thinking the same thing when I saw this. Someone should let the author know so he can get in on this.

jesus christ you faggot, is the word "like" 90% of your entire vocabulary? are you chris crocker or something? manly my ass.

MMMHHHH.... I dont remember the last time I saw one of my buddies matress.should anyone see their friends matress unless they get jiggy with'em???
Another thing, what are pillows for????
I just think it's a stupid idea,I get good enough traction with the foot board,who needs cracks in a matress????

Fucking stupid, anyone who buys this is a tool, imagine all the awkward situations you'd be put into with your family or friends, this shit isn't revolutionary, and XKCD is the shittiest comic thread ever.

This is the sweetest invention I've ever seen. I need one right away. Anyone who doesn't get it needs to try sleeping with someone else.

If you think XKCD is a shitty comic, you probably don't have a sufficient number of I.Q. points to speak on the subject. What I really mean is that you are stupid and should shut up.

So shut up, Stupid.

Very cool product! MFN at http://www.memoryfoamnetwork.com has more info on the foam products as well!

it says it can be covered with a standard bed linen, but when you put a sheet on it, you won't be able to get your arm and foot into the cracks.

This isn't for sex, its for cuddling or embracing, different things. Obviously you have never had the opportunity or had anyone like you enough to want to share a bed with you, it can be extremely difficult to have close contact while SLEEPING not having sex, and still being comfortable.

Its pathetic that you only think of sex,
good luck having a relationship

Don't any of you know the difference between sex and cuddling? This is for the latter, which not only women and gay guys like to do. If you have ever tried sleeping with your significant other you would see how this is a great idea. The point of the slots isn't for traction you numbskull, if you sleep on your stomach ever than you want your foot to be in a comfortable position e.g. POINTING DOWN like in the picture. This isn't for sex, and it isn't for kids to be jumping on, it's for couples who want to sleep in the same bed without being uncomfortable.

I can't wait to see this mass produced and available in stores.

Er, so where do we buy sheets to fit, or do we wash the mattress weekly?

conceive of this first, was it a coincidence, or what? cuz i remember reading that particular comic a while back. perhaps i am just discovering this belatedly through stumble.

Actually a fantastic idea, i'm always in one of these predicaments when with a girl and my arm feels like it's going to Fucking fall off so well done you genius'... Get it in to production.

Well this is really kind of a good idea, but I ain't gonna pay lots of cash for something I could just make myself. It's not really that novel a concept. Just get strips of foam (memory foam is the best if you can afford it) Then fabric of choice, sew a sleeve for the strips, you can even make them with zippers for removal/washing. You don't even need a sheet if the strip covers are washable. Maybe even have ties at the ends of each strip to keep them all together. Really, people, if ya put your mind to it, these "Revolutionary" ideas aren't that hard to do if ya got the means and imagination, which most people do.

Seems to me you're speaking from experience...

The things that will get caught between the slats will be beyond disgusting. Think of all the "stuff" you've gotten on a bedsheet in your lifetime and then imagine finding that later and cleaning it out of the cracks.. Body hair, skin flakes, dirt from your feet, misplaced used prevention methods, cat and dog hair notwithstanding..

Ok, I hate the internet. You all suck. Not everyone. The people who are actually complimenting it or talking intellectually about the product, you guys rule, go have a party or something in celebration. But everyone else who is belittling this product, and everyone who is saying men with it are gay. Let me rant. If you could do it yourself and it's not such a novel idea, then why didn't you get off your fat ass, stop watching Stark trek all day and masturbating to Hentai and fucking put yourself to use in society instead of belittling a nice little invention. There was a guy who had the idea we all had, but he finally wasn't lazy. You suck. Next, why is it gay? The bed isn't humping other beds of the same gender. It doesn't even have a gender. And why does LOVING A WOMAN and wanting to be comfortable with your WOMAN make you gay? You honestly have no life, you probably drink your sorrows away and beat your wife and kids and go cheat on your wife, or girlfriend. Well guess what? Soon she'll walk in on you masturbating to Extremely homosexual porn. I mean like college experimentation gerbil in the ass gay. And she'll leave you and you'll find and her and beat her to death cause she left you and "NO WOMAN LEAVES ME!!!!" You guys suck, get off the internet, stop belittling people OVER the internet. Out yourself to use in society, or die, I really don't care, either way, I win.

I know this is super hypocritical of me to be yelling at people over the internet. I know this, but this seems to be the only market where you'll eat at least a little shit bite of reality.

Oh and I'm honestly never gonna look at this site again because I never go on the internet, because I matter, or I am busy. So rant all you want you ignorant person, I honestly don't care.

goood frickin idea... LOL

ill still stick with my memory foam mattress though, nasa tested lol
Got it from http://www.my-homefurniture.com

And why would that be?
The MAN is thinking about the WOMAN. It's sad that PS3, football, beer and poker rule your world. Think about the pussy for a few seconds and maybe you'd feel like a REAL MAN

great idea. as for the sheet - I don't know so much about using a standard sheet, but if this thing does hit production, it would follow that a sheet would also be produced that was simply longer in length to fill in the space created by being pushed down into the folds. No sleeves, no zippers, just longer to make up for the extra surface area.

The concept is unique. It has invited so much interest on the net. How it handles the load is to be tested.

I think this is a much better idea than my "detachable arm" idea--i haven't been able to come up with good way to cut off ones arms and reattach it in a functionable way. ...the only problem is a sheet would kinda hinder the slots. But they could also spread into the market by manufacturing sheets which are the correct width but have an extra 6" to a foot of length so taht some fabric would slip into the slots allowing for full positioning.

I love this idea.... i'd totally look into it.
