How to Choose the Right Mattress for Side Sleeping
Side sleepers need a mattress that cushions the shoulders and hips while keeping the spine in neutral alignment. A surface that is too firm creates pressure points at the shoulder and hip, while one that is too soft allows the midsection to sag. Most sleep specialists recommend a medium to plush firmness for side sleepers — soft enough to let the shoulder sink in, yet supportive enough to maintain spinal alignment from neck to tailbone.
Construction type matters as much as firmness. Eurotop and pillowtop mattresses — which make up 55% of our side sleeper collection — add a sewn-in comfort layer that contours around pressure points without the slow-response feel of foam. Memory foam models offer deeper conforming for targeted pressure point relief, while hybrid mattresses combine pocket-coil support with foam comfort layers for sleepers who want contouring plus airflow. All 149+ side sleeper mattresses at National Mattress are manufactured in Canadian factories 🍁 and carry CertiPUR-US® certified foams.
