When using the mattress cover, setting the mood is simple. However, every couple is different. Some may need a little coaxing, others may be game for any experience. No matter how your partner is, everyone has to be either in the mood or put into the mood for any sexual experience.

Slide the mattress cover over the bed. If you have any coloured sheets (red, black, etc.), put them on the bed and slide the clear sheet over them. This will give a more sensually visual appearance.

Light some scented candles in safe spots around the room and dim the lights.

Arrange some pillows around the edge of your bed and make it the focal point of what is going to be an incredible experience. You may want to pour some oils on the cover to get it ready.

And now, finally, the music. Select something that both you and your partner enjoy listening to and play it softly.

If you are intending to give your partner a body massage make sure you gently warm the oils first. Place the container of oil in warm water. You may want it sitting beside the bed so it is easy to reach and is ready when you are.

For some helpful hints on body massage visit the Massage Techniques section of our website. We recommend the feathering technique. It is very gentle, and very erotic.

The most important part of setting the mood is to be relaxed and have fun. Allow one thing to lead to another and your emotions will set the mood.

If you need some help in getting creative using the mattress cover here are a few ideas:

• Try sprinkling rose petals over the mattress cover and around the bed on the floor. Get creative and romantic.

• If you enjoy getting really messy, spray your partner with whipping cream then drizzle on some chocolate sauce. Everyone loves a chocolate sunday.

• For something really interesting, try vaseline and black light. The black light will make the vaseline glow. You can make a design on the mattress cover with the vaseline, turn the light on and then make a design on your partner.

• Let us not forget the artist out there. The mattress cover is the perfect canvas for body paint. Let your artistic juices flow. There will be no critics here. Everyone is a Picasso.

• For a really sticky experience try honey. It tastes great and if you're lucky, you may even get stung.

• For a really slippery experience, a sensual full body massage with gently warmed oils is a must. The oils should be applied generously, not only on your partner but on the mattress cover as well. The more slippery the better. Just be careful in the shower afterwards, we strongly urge you to take a bath instead.
