Mattresses Popular With Side Sleepers
Side sleepers generally benefit from mattresses with good pressure relief at the shoulders and hips, along with a medium to medium-soft firmness level.
What to Look For
- •Prioritize pressure relief at the shoulders and hips to prevent painful morning aches.
- •Aim for a medium to medium-soft firmness (4–6 out of 10) — enough give to cushion your joints without sinking too deeply.
- •Avoid very firm mattresses (7+); they push back against your hip and shoulder rather than cradling them.
