[[folder:Anime and Manga]]

* Seen in {{Brit Com}}s like ''Series/TheThinBlueLine'' and ''Series/MyFamily''.
** ''Series/OneFootInTheGrave'' did a BottleEpisode that consisted ''entirely'' of this trope, never once leaving the Meldrews' bedroom.
* Happens OnceAnEpisode with brothers Earl and Randy on ''Series/MyNameIsEarl''

* ''Series/EverybodyLovesRaymond''
* ''Series/JoanOfArcadia''
* Bob and Emily in nearly every (if not every) episode of ''Series/TheBobNewhartShow'', with a hilarious ShoutOut in the last episode of ''Series/{{Newhart}}''.

* Santana and Brittany have at least three of these throughout the seasons of ''Series/{{Glee}}'', but the scenes are implied to be after the lovemaking. One even shows the two of them fixing the messy bed and each other's clothes and hair.
* Much earlier, Rob and Laura Petrie in ''Series/TheDickVanDykeShow''. Now infamous for the fact that, due to [[ExecutiveMeddling Broadcast Standards]] of the time, the obviously loving couple slept in separate beds. No wonder they only had one kid.

* ''Series/DharmaAndGreg'' toyed with this. In one episode, we learn that they have an agreement not to "pollute the marriage bed" with arguments, so if one of them has a grievance, both have to stand up out of the bed while they talk about it.
* Eric and Ernie did this frequently in ''Creator/MorecambeAndWise''. No, they weren't supposed to be gay, they [[ThereIsOnlyOneBed just shared a bed]]. It made sense in the seventies.
** They initially refused to do the original sketch, until writer Eddie Braben let Eric smoke his pipe [[http://georgesjournal.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/morecambe_and_wise_in_bed.jpg "to emphasise his masculinity"]].
** They were, in fact, continuing the "tradition" of comic duos sharing beds, such as seen with Creator/LaurelAndHardy.
* Similarly, Tony and Sid in ''Series/HancocksHalfHour''.
* Simon's parents in ''Series/BeautifulPeople'' do this at least once an episode. Simon and his boyfriend had a short scene like that as well.

* ''Series/{{Medium}}'': Alison and Joe frequently talk in bed, particularly when Alison has just woken up from a dream. Joe often gets up and starts pacing during the discussion, though.
* ''Series/TheComedyCompany'' had a recurring sketch consisting entirely of this trope with Ian [=McFayden=] and Mary-Anne Fahey, a real life couple at the time.
* A scene in ''Series/TheTudors'' involved Jane ''trying'' to talk with Henry in bed about political issues, only for Henry to remind her what happened to his last two wives...
* Mr and Mrs Washburn had this in an episode of ''Series/{{Firefly}}''. It was post-coital joking and a very sweet scene, though TheMovie made it less funny as well.
* Frequently happens between Walt and Skyler on ''Series/BreakingBad''.
* Happens several times in the later seasons of ''Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer''.
** Anya and Xander discuss death and life right after sex. In fact, it was the sex that prompted the conversation.
** The morning after Willow and Tara get back together, they have a conversation that leads to Tara telling Willow that Buffy's been sleeping with Spike.
* At least a third of ''Series/{{Kaamelott}}'' episodes in the early seasons start like this, usually Arthur reading parchments and his wife trying to talk, or Léodagan and Seli discussing their latest complaints about the way the kingdom is run.
* ''Series/ThePunisher2017''. At the start of Season 2, this is intercut with a SexMontage of Frank Castle having sex with Beth. Frank finds himself so at ease he reveals his real name (though only the [[FirstNameBasis first name]]) because he wants to be honest with her.
* ''Series/InsideGeorgeWebley'': "I'll Get It in a Minute" revolves around George being unable to fall asleep as he is unable to remember the name of someone he knows. Unfortunately for Rosemary, he feels obligated to share this with her and so keeps her up with his efforts to remember.

* ''Film/RunLolaRun'': Between timelines, Lola and Manni talk to each other, in bed.

* A curious and mostly out of fashion variation was the custom of "bundling" in which an engaged couple will be placed in the same bed after having proper restraints(like a board placed between the two or well tied blankets or what not) put there to prevent improprieties.

* ''Theatre/FiddlerOnTheRoof'' has two songs in bed: one where Tevya explains his dream to his wife, and the second when he asks his wife if she loves him.
** In the film, only the dream song is in bed.

* Several of the Film/{{Carry On}}s, such as ''Film/CarryOnHenry'', ''Film/CarryOnCabby'' and ''Film/CarryOnLoving''. They never lead to anything though, and are usually arguments.

* In ''Manga/{{Berserk}}'', after Casca and Guts had their first time in the [[{{Pun}} wo]][[WallBangHer ods]], they talk about how they feel with each other and their love, but also how their bond has grown stronger. [[spoiler:It doesn't last]]
