Which type of mattress is better for "sleeping", coil spring or memory foam?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43689points) May 31st, 2011

It is time to replace our sagging, 15 year old coil spring mattress. Mattresses have changed quite a bit over the years and there are now so many choices in the $1500 price range it is difficult to decide.

The memory foam seems to cushion nicely but there is no bounce. It feels comfortable but dead and would require a lot more effort to change positions. Furthermore, it seems like a roll in the hay would take much more effort and not be near as bouncy and fun.

Has anyone here had experience with this type of mattress? I have no doubt it is great for sleeping but, what about amorous activities? Compared with a good coil spring bed does it help or hamper?
