How do different sleep positions (stomach, back, side, or combination) affect the type of mattress I should buy?
How Your Sleeping Position Influences Mattress Choice
- Stomach & Back Sleepers: Typically prefer firmer mattresses that provide solid support for the spine and overall body alignment. Traditional mattresses often work well in these cases.
- Side Sleepers: Benefit from softer mattresses—such as Euro-top, pillow-top, or memory foam—for extra cushioning and pressure relief on the shoulders and hips.
- Combination Sleepers: Memory foam and hybrid-style mattresses can offer balanced support and cushioning, accommodating various positions throughout the night.
To find your ideal mattress, visit a store and test different types in the positions you regularly sleep in. This hands-on approach will help you discover the right combination of comfort and support.
