In reply to amy. I was searching too and found a product on Amazon that is a waterproof furniture cover marketed for protection against pet accidents. But if you read the reviews, lots of people say that it is perfect for protecting beds (or sofas, etc.) during adult play. It is a fleece throw with a plastic inner lining, so it is very comfortable and completely waterproof, and quiet. Several sizes and color options are available too. And machine washable. There are a few different brands selling similar items, but the one that seems best-rated is Mambe. Not sure how you'd explain it to the teenagers though if you don't have any pets. :)

Actually, a friend of mine that owns a furniture store, makes the argument that many don’t think about 4 of the most important items we purchase. A home, a car, a bed and shoes.

On average we spend a 1/3 of our lives in bed and we usually wear shoes wherever we go. (we take our shoes off in house)

And yet there many (his quotes, not mine) that won’t purchase a quality mattress or wear quality shoes, in order so they can buy a fancier home and drive a fancier car.

In reply to Proverbs 5:18-19. I suggest this bed too. You can adjust the firmness/softness every night if need be. Each side too. We bought one as a wedding gift to us 10 years ago and it feels like a brand new mattress still.

In reply to amy. I found out while researching cloth diapers that Fleece repels water/liquid, so I keep a fleece blanket under our sheet. I don't notice it being extra hot, like a mattress cover was. (we tried that for like a week when we first got our mattress, and hubby said no more!) And you can get fleece blankets pretty cheap at walmart. I think like $2.98 for the kid sized patterned ones, which are big enough to cover the main parts of our queen mattress to protect from all things body fluid (sweat, slobber, vomit, leaky diapers, or intimate realated flluids. ;-) ) Or you could just buy a some fleece from the fabric store to fit your bed. ;)

Your response of next time we should just do a sex position and see if it makes everyone uncomfortable instantly reminded me of a Key and Peele Youtube video called Matress Shopping. They’re a funny (although often more adult humor) comedian pair that my husband introduced me to a couple years back.

We bought a Purple and wow, it’s made things fantastic (and not just sleep!)

In reply to amy. I would think you could buy a disposable bed mat (they sell them at Target), which you could put under a sheet so your kids don't see/know. Then after use, you just throw them away.

What would you suggest to protect the mattress? We have a waterproof matress pad but that is a little warm durring summer months to sleep with. We normally use towels to help allieviate a wet spot on the sheets but this rarely is enough and now that we have teens I am being asked why we go through so many towela each week… Sigh…i know i should be happy to not need lube but there is such a thing as too much liquid…

We need to replace our mattress of 18 years (yikes!), and our upcoming move may well be the time to do it. The hubs has been looking at a Sleep Number, while I’ve been intrigued by an online company that sells mattress parts, not mattresses per se. They do it this way so as not to be under the fire-proofing laws that force mattress companies to soak their products with fire-retardant chemicals that contribute to indoor air pollution. Thus their “mattresses” consist of simple 3″ slabs of latex foam, so that one can customize the firmness of the top, bottom and even a middle layer depending on the desired thickness. Add a wool batt to wrap it in and it’s practically fireproof as wool is too dense for oxygen to penetrate. They’ll even sew a custom mattress cover for you and mail it all for you to assemble! As long as they’re not selling completed mattresses, they’re not a “mattress company”.

Of course I’ve no idea how well either of us would sleep (or do other things) on a latex slab, and I don’t know what we’d do for box springs but I find the overall model intriguing. I suppose I need to address defaulting to a “figure-4” position much of the time.
