What do women like men to wear in bed?

Sorry, gents, but the "nothing but a pair of socks" look is strictly out of bounds. The overwhelming answer is that 0% say "only socks", despite the fact that there is strong case for it improving the... er.. between-the-sheets adult-based night-time activities.

  • 0% of women like it when a man wears only his socks to bed.
  • 67% say they like just boxers
  • 29% say like him in his birthday suit

What kind mattress should you sleep on if you like to sleep naked in bed?

Here are some key considerations:

  • Look for a cooling mattress. During the night we all lose moisture as we sleep, through the body's natural sweating process. So it's advisable consider a mattress that isn't hot, and is known for being cool, reducing night sweats as a result. Dormeo's Octaspring mattresses, for example, are 8 x more breathable than traditional memory foam and will keep you cooler at night.
  • Is the cover washable? Does your mattress have a removable cover? Some do. Again, this is something that Octaspring has and it'll keep the mattress fresher for longer and preserve its longevity in the same way that reducing night sweats will.
  • No metal springs. Comfort is absolutely essential for sleep. Sleeping on an old spring mattress can lead to pressure points, and not having a layer of clothing to protect our bodies from this can exacerbate the problems caused by a lumpy mattress. These pressure points will result in discomfort which will wake you up and prevent you from getting a good night's sleep. This is why many experts recommend getting a good quality memory foam mattress.
