Side sleeping is the most common sleep position, but it requires special mattress considerations. The right mattress prevents shoulder and hip pressure points while maintaining spinal alignment.
Side sleepers place concentrated pressure on their shoulders and hips, creating pressure points that can cause discomfort and disrupted sleep. The ideal side sleeper mattress contours to your body shape while providing enough support to keep your spine aligned.
Side sleepers typically need mattresses that offer a balance of contouring and support. Too soft, and your hips sink too deep. Too firm, and you create painful pressure points. Medium-firm mattresses with good contouring usually work best.
Our sleep experts recommend these mattress types for optimal side sleeping comfort:
Multiple foam layers provide excellent contouring and pressure relief. Memory foam top layers cradle the body while supportive bottom layers maintain alignment.
Combine foam comfort with innerspring support. The foam layers relieve pressure while the coils provide bounce and airflow.
Natural latex provides excellent contouring with built-in temperature regulation. Great option for side sleepers seeking natural materials.
