Finding the best mattress for side sleepers can be tricky. Pressure points are different if you tend to curl up into the foetal position at bed time, so try to avoid firm mattresses as you may find the pressure is too great on your shoulders and hips. Instead, look for a medium or soft mattress to offer more give where the bony bits of your body make contact with the surface.<\/p>\n

Of course, this can lead to squabbles if you and your partner sleep differently \u2013 if you are a side sleeper and they are a back or front sleeper, for example. In this case, you may need to hunt down a good split-mattress, where different spring tensions or firmness levels are zipped into one encasement. These will be expensive, but if poor sleep is having an impact on your relationship, it will be worth it!<\/p>\n

There are so many types of mattresses on the market \u2013 hard, soft, pocket sprung, memory foam \u2013 it can be difficult to find just the right level of support. It’s important, if you can, to try before you buy, but the best place to start is with research. Here, the Good Homes team has been laying down on the job to find six of the best mattresses for side-sleepers\u2026<\/p>\n

1. Brook & Wilde Elite Mattress<\/h3>\n

Brook & Wilde’s collection of hybrid mattresses include Lux, Elite, Ultima and Perla, increasing in price as the number of layers increases from five to 14. The Elite<\/a> has eight layers, and the medium-feel is a great mattress for side sleepers (the whole range is available in soft, medium or firm). Our Good Homes reviewer swapped out her old, firm memory foam mattress for this one and found it much more comfortable on the shoulder and hips. The eight layers include a washable top cover, thermo-regulating layer, wave technology to aid spinal alignment and relieve pressure points, and 3,000 pocket springs. \u00a31,249 for a double.<\/p>

2. Simba Hybrid Mattress<\/h3>\n

Simba\u2019s mattresses, a hybrid of conical springs and memory foam, have been well received over the last few years for offering the best of both worlds. Hard mattresses are no use for side sleepers, with too much resistance on your pressure points, but this is soft and sinkable.\u00a0The Simba Hybrid Mattress<\/a> is also heat regulating, has a removable, washable hypoallergenic surface and \u2013 perhaps the clincher \u2013 a 200-night free trial and 10-year guarantee. Prices range start from \u00a3679 for a single hybrid mattress.<\/p>\n

3. Rest Assured Richborough Latex Top Mattress<\/h3>\n

Medium to firm is usually too hard a mattress for side sleepers, but this one has a softer feel than billed, and does a great job of moulding itself to the contours of your body. The secret here is the Rest Assured Richborough\u2019s<\/a> blended latex filling which makes movement during the night easy, and will help protect you from the bumps and jolts if your significant other is a fidgety sleeper. From \u00a3739.<\/p>\n

The new \u2018Airgocell\u2019 foam helps distribute the body\u2019s pressure across the mattress and, since, it’s on the softer side of the scale, it is a good pressure-relieving mattress for side sleepers.
