Advice 💁🏻 best mattress firmness for side sleepers? any ideas?

[Jellyjeepsy]

I’m a side sleeper and I’m looking for a new mattress. But I’m not sure what “firmness” would be best. I’ve read that medium soft to medium firm is ideal for side sleepers since it helps with pressure relief on the hips and shoulders, but I’m worried about sinking too much or feeling unsupported.

Also curious which one truly works better for side sleeping? memory foam or hybrid? If anyone has recommendations or experience with finding the right kind of mattress and firmness, I would love to hear your comments, suggestions, or any advice before I commit to a new mattress! Thanks!

Your best bet is getting a hybrid mattress with a medium firm level. Just the right amount of support and keeps your spine aligned but also has enough “softness” to ease the pressure on your hips and shoulders.

Thanks for the help. Do you have any mattress recommendations that have this level of firmness?

And also, medium soft and medium firm are different? I assume medium soft a just little bit more softer?

Go for DLX Premier Hybrid because they offer you customizable options on the level of firmness that you prefer. Worth it

Best thing you can do is to try out in store if possible. Mattress just feels so personal. What works for one side sleeper might not work for you

Totally agree! I tested a few in-store and ended up switching from memory foam to a hybrid because it felt better for my hips even though they both have medium firm level.

Same here. I almost bought a mattress online but tried it in-store first and realized it was way too soft for me. Trying it in person saved me from making a mistake.

Couldn’t agree more. Can’t risk it just from reading reviews online cause comfort is very subjective
