Advice 💁🏻 Best mattress —can you share your unbiased experiences?

[ivy-clar]

Hi, I’m a side sleeper weighing around 155 lbs. I usually prefer mattresses on the firmer side but not so firm that it feels uncomfortable.

I’ve been researching different brands like Helix, Nolah, and Zoma. I’m curious if anyone here has tried them? I would love to hear about your experiences both good and bad. Hope you can help me decide which ones are worth the investment.

Any advice/tips, especially from fellow side sleepers, would be really helpful. I just wanna be sure I’m making the right decision before making the big purchase. Thanks in advance for your recommendations!

check out the Helix Twilight Luxe…afaik it’s specifically designed for side sleepers who prefer a firmer feel

For a slightly different take, I’ve had my colleagues recommend the Nolah Original 10. It’s an all foam mattress if you prefer that type

How’s the firmness on the Nolah Original 10? I’ve heard Nolah is a bit on the softer side. Does it still feel firm enough for someone like OP who’s into firmer mattresses?

It’s actually on the medium-firm side so it gives a nice balance if you want some give for pressure relief but still need support..but if OP’s looking for something super firm, Helix might be a better choice

Mattresses are offered in different firmness levels so you might wanna look into the medium-firm and firm ones

Honestly half the battle is figuring out if you're more sensitive to pressure points or spine alignment. I thought I wanted firm until I woke up sore.

Same here. What helped me most was testing in-store, even if I planned to buy online. Laying on something for 10 minutes tells you a lot.
