If you sleep on your side, the best mattress for you is one that relieves pressure at the shoulders and hips while keeping your spine properly supported. For most people, that means a medium or medium soft mattress with cushioning comfort layers that adapt to your shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s also the most common sleep position in the UK, and the one that\u2019s easiest to get wrong. Sleep on your side on a mattress that\u2019s too firm and you\u2019ll feel it by morning: pressure through the shoulder, an ache at the hip, that slightly stiff feeling that takes a little while to ease off. Too soft, and you get the opposite problem, your body drops out of alignment and you never quite feel properly supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Get it right, though, and you won\u2019t notice the mattress at all. That\u2019s always the aim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this guide, we\u2019ll walk through what actually makes a difference for side sleepers, which mattress types tend to work best in practice, and the options from our range at Land of Beds that we recommend most often based on real customer feedback and experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
