Best Mattress for Side Sleepers of 2021

If you’re a side sleeper, you’re never short of mattress options— on the one hand, it’s nice to have variety while searching for a new bed, but on the other, it makes finding the best mattress for your particular needs relatively tricky.

Side sleeping is common, with 70% of sleepers preferring to snooze this way, and fortunately, many specialists regard it as being the healthiest sleep position, too. Despite its benefits, side sleeping does come with some downfalls, such as the potential for pressure points and pain. That’s why finding the best mattress for side sleeping is so important.

In this post, we discuss some of the most comfortable mattresses for side sleepers and offer tips on how to choose the right one for your sleep needs.

Best Mattresses for Side Sleepers

The Amerisleep AS4 is our favorite mattress for side sleepers. It offers an unbeatable mix of comfort and support—providing plenty of cushioning for the shoulders and hips while still keeping you lifted in healthy alignment. Green-conscious shoppers will like Amerisleep, too, as they use plant-based foams in their beds.

Amerisleep’s AS4 stands 12 inches tall, has three layers, and is medium-soft in firmness. Compared to Amerisleep’s nine other mattresses, it’s slightly softer than the AS3—Amerisleep’s most popular bed—but not quite as soft as the AS5—Amerisleep’s softest bed.

Let’s break down its construction.

First, every Amerisleep mattress has a soft, breathable cover. This cover is designed to keep air flowing freely throughout the mattress so that you never wake due to overheating. The cover is also easy to remove and completely washable.

Inside the mattress, we start with 4 inches of Bio-Pur®, Amerisleep’s plant-based memory foam. Bio-Pur® is more responsive and breathable than traditional memory foam, so based on reviews, the usual concerns of trapping heat or feeling “stuck” aren’t an issue with Amerisleep mattresses. When you lay on the AS4, this Bio-Pur® contours to your body and helps you feel weightless.

Below the Bio-Pur® is a thin (1-inch) layer of Affinity with HIVE® technology. HIVE® is a type of surface modification technology (SMT). It’s designed to offer supplemental support under your lower back, head, and feet, and extra compression for your shoulders and hips. HIVE’s® design facilitates proper posture and healthy sleeping positions while preventing pain and pressure points.

The third and final layer of the AS4 is 7 inches of Bio-Core®, a supportive poly-foam. Bio-Core® is in place to reinforce the two layers (and sleeper) above and prevent premature wear and tear. Beyond using sturdy Bio-Core® for a base layer, Amerisleep also backs their mattresses with a generous 20-year warranty. If your mattress shows sags or indentations greater than .75 inches deep, they’ll repair or replace your mattress.

Amerisleep offers a 100-night sleep trial with each of their beds, too; this allows you to buy online and try your new bed in the comfort of your own home. If you decide against keeping it, returns are free.

Next on our list is a memory foam mattress designed for athletes, the Zoma Mattress.

Zoma designs their beds to help athletes sleep deeper, recover faster, and wake up feeling more rejuvenated. You can’t achieve peak performance without healthy rest. Zoma helps you get the sleep you need to lead a happy, healthy life. Other Zoma beds include the Zoma Start and Zoma Hybrid. The Zoma Hybrid is a bit softer than the Zoma Mattress and the Zoma Start is firmer, so all types of sleepers have options available.

The Zoma Mattress has a medium to medium-soft feel, so it’s great for side sleepers seeking a plusher mattress. Despite its softness, Zoma is equipped with Triangulex™ technology to provide healthy support under your spine— it’s one of the best mattresses for back pain.

The top layer of the Zoma Mattress is 2 inches of gel memory foam. When you lay on this bed, this memory foam molds to your body and the gel within combats body heat. This layer is also where the Triangulex™ technology is located. Triangulex™ is another surface modification technology; Zoma adjusts this foam to feel firmer under your midsection to keep your spine in a neutral position, and softer under your shoulders and hips to prevent pressure points.

Next is a 2-inch layer of Reactiv™, a responsive poly-foam. Reactiv™ serves primarily as a transition layer between the soft memory foam layer above and a dense core layer below, but it also influences the feel of the bed. Because Reactiv™ is designed to be responsive, it gives the bed a bit of bounce and prevents you from sinking too far into the Zoma.

The last and final layer of Zoma is Support+, a durable poly-foam in place to offer additional support to the layers above. Support+ prevents the mattress from breaking down or developing sags. Plus, Zoma backs their mattress with a 10-year warranty.

The Zoma Mattress is sold online-only and comes with a 100-night sleep trial.

The Vaya Mattress is one of the newer mattresses on our list, but it’s already become a favorite thanks to its streamlined design and quality materials. The Vaya Mattress has a perfect medium feel that works well for side sleepers, combo sleepers, and couples.

Many reviews state how sleepers don’t notice their partner moving around at night because of how well the bed isolates motion, along with the support it provides while still being soft and comfortable.

The first layer of the Vaya is called Vaya Comfort Foam. This unique layer has an open-cell structure, making it easy for air to flow through, thus deterring heat traps.

Most memory foam has such a dense structure that body heat gets stuck beneath the sleeper, causing night sweats and general discomfort. The Vaya Comfort Foam keeps cool and bounces back quickly, so you won’t sink down or feel stuck in bed.

The support layer of the Vaya is called Vaya Base Foam. This durable material keeps the softer comfort foam above it even, offering consistent spinal support. Even after lots of use, the Vaya Mattress won’t develop sags or soft spots.

However, if you don’t like the feel of a mattress made entirely of foam, Vaya’s other mattress option is the Vaya Hybrid. It has a similar feel to the Vaya Mattress, only it contains pocketed coils in the place of the Vaya Base Foam.

The Vaya comes with a 100-night sleep trial, free shipping, free returns, and a 10-year warranty.

Mattresses for side sleeping tend to hug the body, quickly absorbing heat from the sleeper. Infused gels and air channels can increase a memory foam mattress’s heat dispersion, preventing sleep disturbances. The GhostBed Luxe is one of our top recommendations for a cooling memory foam mattress.

The Luxe mattress stays so cool thanks to its combination of cooling foams and fabric. Plush Ghost Ice fabric establishes a near-instant cool-to-the-touch feel and has an inch of airy fiber woven into the cover to better hug the body.

Underneath the mattress cover and its sewn-on fiber are the bed’s foam layers. First is an inch of gel memory foam, deepening the bed’s compression and plush feel.

Next is the unique Ghost Ice layer, specifically engineered to move heat to maintain a cool feeling down to the bed’s core. The last comfort layer is 3 inches of gel memory foam, increasing the bed’s heat-wicking and pressure-relieving capabilities.

The bed’s transition layer is the Ghost Bounce layer, create to meld the responsiveness of latex with the conforming feel of memory foam. Ghost Bounce foam is a contributing part to the Luxe mattress’s cloudlike feel. The bed’s support core is 7.5 inches of dense base foam, promoting an enduring structure.

Reviewers on the heavier side have noted they slept well on the medium-plush Luxe bed, so this can be also a good choice for side sleepers over 200 pounds. Plenty of people also praised the bed’s cool feel and noted that their partner enjoyed the Luxe’s feel, too.

Side sleepers can rest secure knowing the GhostBed Luxe is backed by a 101-night sleep trial and a 25-year warranty.

While medium and medium-soft mattresses are excellent choices for side sleepers, many relish having a truly luxurious and plush mattress they can sink into. If you’re seeking a soft bed for side sleeping, our top recommendation is the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid.

The AS5 Hybrid stands 14 inches tall, with a plush feel that conforms well to a side sleeper’s body. Four layers make up this soft, thick mattress. The AS5 Hybrid is easily Amerisleep’s most luxurious bed, having a cloud-like feel unlike anything else. It’s softer than the AS4 we mentioned prior and contains pocketed coils rather than Bio-Core®.

The top layer is 3 inches of Bio-Pur®, Amerisleep’s unique and upgraded version of traditional memory foam. The airy design of Bio-Pur® ensures it stays cool even as it cushions your entire body, absorbing its heat. Plus, the material’s responsive nature allows it to adapt quickly to your movements, so you never feel stuck in your soft mattress. Customers note how, when side sleeping, the thick Bio-Pur® layer has helped with their joint, hip, and shoulder pain.

Next is a 2-inch layer of Active Flex, a springy material that offsets the Bio-Pur® foam. Active Flex reduces your chances of sinking into the bed without compromising the mattress’s soft and cloud-like feel. Based on reviews, the Active Flex layer also makes it easier for sleepers to switch sides at night without feeling trapped.

The mattress’s support core is 8 inches of pocketed coils on a 1-inch thick foam base. The pocketed coils are individually wrapped to increase motion isolation and to muffle any noises the springs may make. Amerisleep arranges the coils so they feel soft in the mattress’s head and foot, but supportive under your torso.

Like the Amerisleep AS4, the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid comes with free shipping and returns, a 100-night sleep trial, and a 20-year warranty. The hybrid’s warranty covers any sagging that exceeds 0.75 inches.

Cooling features are often needed for an undisturbed night’s rest, particularly if you’re a hot sleeper or live in a warm climate. Hybrids are often excellent cooling mattresses because air can slip in and around the coils that support the bed, making it easier for heat to escape. While many hybrids keep cool throughout the night, the Aurora Hybrid from Brooklyn Bedding is one of our favorites.

Shoppers can select a soft, medium, or firm bed when it comes to Aurora Hybrid. The exact construction of the Aurora Hybrid depends on your chosen firmness. We will focus on the soft option as the most conforming option for side sleepers.

All Aurora Hybrid mattresses have a top layer of CopperFlex™ foam underneath a mattress cover infused with phase-changing TitanCool™ material. The copper inside the foam reacts to pressure, providing extra support for the shoulders and hips. Plus, copper repels microbes and wicks heat away.

Next is 2 inches of TitanFlex™ foam for responsive adjustments to your every movement and an inch of swirl gel memory foam for cooling pressure relief. The mattress’s support is Ascension® pocketed coils on a dense foam base.

More than 2000 reviewers have praised the Aurora Hybrid, resulting in an overall 4.7-star rating. Reviewers note their sleeping style, and shoulders and hips are some of the top terms you can use to filter reviews. Side sleepers have noted that the Aurora Hybrid eased neck pain, back pain, shoulder pain, and hip pain.

The Aurora Hybrid has a 120-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty.

If you’ve researched the best mattresses in a box, you’ve likely stumbled upon Purple® mattresses, as they’re a leader in the boxed mattress industry. Purple® mattresses were designed to be the world’s first “No-Pressure” sleeping surface, which is ideal for side sleepers who are prone to pressure points. We’re fans of the Purple® Hybrid Premier 4 because it offers a truly weightless sleep experience.

The top layer in each of their beds, including the Purple® Hybrid Premier 4, is their Purple  Grid™. Purple® makes this grid out of its patented hyper-elastic polymer. This rubber-like material is fashioned into a mattress-sized grid shape and delivers no-pressure support.

Underneath the Purple  Grid™ is a thin layer of transition foam and pocketed coils for bouncy support. The mattress’s cover has ventilated side panels, making it easier for air to slip through the mattress and remove unwanted heat.

Side sleepers seeking a thinner hybrid mattress can try the Purple® Hybrid Premier 3 or the more basic Purple® Hybrid.

We are also fans of their original all-foam model because it has nearly 20,000 reviews and is the model that made them famous— it features their unique Purple Grid™ and durable poly-foam to deliver a comfortable but long-lasting mattress for side sleepers. The Original Purple® mattress is the only all-foam mattress Purple® offers. Its simple design is more affordable and accessible to a wider range of customers.

Purple® mattresses can be bought online or at most Mattress Firms, and every bed comes with a 10-year warranty and a 100-night sleep trial. There are also two other models to consider, both hybrids. If you want to learn more about Purple® and their mattresses, you can read our Purple® mattress review.

Innerspring mattresses often aren’t the bed of choice for side sleepers. The design of a traditional innerspring mattress often can’t fully conform to the shoulders and hips. This is because an innerspring mattress’s coils and thin comfort layers tend to establish a too-firm feel. However, the plush soft Saatva Classic is an exception, thanks to its pillow top and transition layer of pocketed coils.

Covering the Saatva Classic’s surface is organic cotton with an antimicrobial barrier from a Guardin™ botanical treatment. The mattress cover is breathable and hypoallergenic, promoting a cool, clean mattress surface. This cotton covers the Classic’s 3-inch Euro pillow top, giving side sleepers plenty of cushion for their hips and shoulders.

Next is the layer of pocketed coils, providing bounce while still contouring to the body’s curves. Pocketed coils are excellent at relieving pressure and promoting a neutral spine alignment, a trait bolstered by the next layer. Supporting the pocketed coils is a layer focused on back support, using memory foam and active wire to provide more comfort.

A base of tempered steel coils provides the bed’s structure. Surrounding the coil base is dense foam, creating a perimeter of edge support. If you have difficulty moving in the morning or just want to prevent yourself from rolling out of bed, edge support is a helpful feature.

While some side sleepers may also enjoy the luxury firm mattress, opinions can vary. Some reviewers find a luxury firm mattress didn’t hug their bodies, while others found the luxury firm mattress just right. We recommended the plush soft mattress as the more likely option to satisfy side sleepers.

Every Saatva Classic mattress includes a 180-night home trial and a 15-year warranty. The home trial does include a return fee of $99 for anyone who chooses not to keep the mattress. Saatva will also arrange an appointment with you to deliver and set up your new mattress for free.

The last mattress on our list is Nest Bedding’s Alexander Signature Hybrid. Nest Bedding specializes in making luxury mattresses and the Alexander Signature Hybrid is easily their most popular bed. It’s one of the two models in the Alexander Signature series and the other bed in the line-up, the Alexander Signature Flippable, is a dual-sided bed that only comes in a medium and firm variety while the Hybrid has three firmness options.

It’s available as a plush, medium, and luxury firm. We typically recommend side sleepers choose their medium model as it should have a good balance of cushioning comfort and back support. However, if you’re fairly petite or struggle with joint pains, the soft variation may suit you better. Customers who’ve dealt with chronic muscle and joint pain noted how sleeping on the Alexander Signature Hybrid made it easier for them to get comfortable wake up with little-to-no pain.

The cover of the Alexander Signature Hybrid is a temperature-regulating fabric, called Phase Change Fabric. Within this cover, they quilt .25 inches of gel-infused memory foam to offer the sleeper immediate cushioning comfort.

The first layer of the mattress is 3 inches of TitanChill Endurance Foam®, Nest’s proprietary foam. TitanChill Endurance Foam® relieves pressure points and combats body heat to keep you sleeping comfortably. Because this layer is 3 inches thick, it offers a soft, cradling feel.

Next is a 1-inch layer of SmartFlow Support Foam, another one of Nest’s proprietary foams. This foam is designed to feel more responsive than memory foam, so it increases this bed’s bounce and prevents too much sinkage.

Below the two layers of foam is an 8-inch pocketed coil system with Quantum Edge support. These coils offer zoned support and isolate motion throughout the mattress.

The final layer of the Signature Hybrid is 1-inch of durable poly-foam to support the coils and layers of foam above.

Nest sells their mattresses online, but they also have showrooms across the country. Whether you shop in-store or online, Nest offers a 100-night sleep trial and Lifetime Warranty with each of their beds.

Bear is another online mattress brand specializing in mattresses for athletes. Of all of Bear’s three mattress line-up, we like their newest mattress, the Bear Pro, because it contains an extra layer of contouring memory foam, making it perfect for side sleeping. Plus, they infuse copper gel into this extra layer of foam, offering even more sleep-promoting benefits.

The Bear Pro has four layers and is 12 inches thick. On their website, they mention the Bear Pro falls at a 5.9 out of 10 on the firmness scale; it’s safe to assume this bed will feel medium to medium-firm for the majority of sleepers. So, if you’re a side sleeper who’s ever felt like they need extra support at night, consider the Bear Pro.

Bear utilizes Celliant’s® FDA-determined textile technology in the covers of their mattresses to prevent hot nights and promote deeper sleep. If you’re a particularly hot sleeper, this technology, along with the cooling gels in the layers of this bed, can improve your night’s sleep.

The first layer of Bear Pro is 1 inch of copper-infused memory foam. Copper is naturally conductive, so it pulls body heat away from you and dissipates it out of the mattress; this copper gel works in tandem with the bed’s Celliant® cover to regulate your temperature. Copper is also antimicrobial, so it keeps you sleeping clean.

When you lay on this mattress, this plush memory foam contours to your body and offers immediate pressure relief. The second layer is 1.5 inches of gel memory foam; this layer allows for deeper compression and stops pain points from developing around your hips or shoulders. The gel within this layer also fights body heat to ensure you’re not waking up uncomfortably warm.

Below the layer of gel memory foam is a 2.5-inch layer of responsive transition foam designed to give the bed a bit of bounce and prevent you from sinking uncomfortably far in the mattress. Lastly, the core of the mattress is 7 inches of high-density poly-foam in place to support the three layers above.

Bear offers a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty with each of their beds.

What Should Side Sleepers Look for in a New Mattress?

Apart from reading product descriptions and comparing bells and whistles, it’s important to reflect upon your sleeping habits and personal preferences to choose the best mattress for your particular needs. In this section, we discuss the most significant factors to consider before choosing your next bed.

Side Sleeping Position

There are many ways to sleep on your side. Do you prefer to curl up in the fetal position? Or do you spend most nights in the tree position with one leg hiked up and bent at the knee?

The most common side sleeping positions are as follows:

Pain Points

As we’ve touched on a few times now, the biggest downfall to side sleeping is the potential for pressure points. And pressure points lead to pain. If you’re not sleeping on your side correctly, it can result in hip, shoulder, neck, or back pains.

Hip and shoulder pains are usually an indicator that your bed is too firm. The best mattress for hip pain is often medium in firmness. These pains occur when tension builds up in your hip and shoulder joints. The best mattress for hip pain is often medium in firmness.

Back pain, on the other hand, is caused by a too-soft mattress. If your spine isn’t properly supported by your bed, it can fall out of alignment and cause recurring backaches.

Neck pain is usually a result of the pillow you’re using. If your pillow is too high, it can crane your neck upwards and result in discomfort. The best pillow for side sleepers is anywhere between 3 to 6 inches thick.

“Maintaining a neutral spine is an important goal of sleeping posture. When sleeping on your side you want to support your head with a pillow that fills the space from the mattress to the head keeping the nose midline,” says chiropractor Douglas R Krebs, DC, FACO, Cert. MDT of Chicago Spine and Sports. He also recommends a mattress that supports the hips and the shoulders equally. This should be comfortable for both the shoulders and the hips.

To avoid pain, we recommend avoiding the tree position and choosing a mattress built with the right amount of comfort and support for your needs.

Mattress Types

Before you can get too far in your research, stop to consider what type of mattress you want. Do you prefer a bouncier bed? If so, you’ll probably like a hybrid or innerspring. However, if you prefer the feeling of cushioning foam, a latex or memory foam mattress is best for you.

Memory Foam

Memory foam mattresses are great for side sleepers because they’re pressure-relieving and the best at preventing pain. These beds mold to your body and adapt to your movement to offer both support and comfort. When you lay on memory foam, it alleviates pressure and offers a “cradling” feel. These beds can range from soft to firm, so there are options for every preference.

Latex

Latex mattresses are a bit more buoyant than memory foam, so it holds you lifted “on top” of the mattress. If you prefer a firmer mattress or don’t like the “hug-like” feeling memory foam mattresses can have, choose a latex bed. These beds are great for side sleepers because they distribute your body weight evenly and cushion your joints to prevent pain.

Hybrid

Hybrid mattresses combine foam layers and an inner coil system to offer sleepers the best of both worlds. If you like the cushioning of foam layers and crave the bounciness of an innerspring, a hybrid is your best option. These beds contain a variety of high-quality materials, so they can sometimes come with a hefty price tag. However, they combine a number of sleep-promoting features to deliver better rest.

Innerspring

Innerspring mattresses lack foam layers and are characterized by a pocketed coil system. Any comfort you receive from these beds comes from the cover or pillow top. These beds are great for people seeking a firmer, or bouncy, mattress. We hesitate to recommend innersprings to side sleepers because they’re usually not equipped to cushion the shoulders and hips properly.

Firmness Options

While many believe choosing mattress firmness is a matter of personal preference, your ideal firmness is actually dictated by how you sleep. Side sleepers need a mattress that’ll be supportive enough to hold their spine in a healthy, neutral position; however, this bed still needs to feel soft enough to cushion your major joints such as the shoulders and hips.

When you sleep on your side, your hips and shoulders take on all of your body weight; if your bed is not soft enough to relieve pressure under those joints, chronic pain points can develop. If your bed is too soft, though, it’ll cause your hips to sink too far, throwing your spine out of alignment.

It’s crucial side sleepers find a mattress that offers an even balance of comfort and support, which is why medium mattresses are the best for side sleeping. Side sleepers can also benefit from zoned technologies such as SMT or pocketed coils as they’re designed to feel firmer under your back and softer around your hips and shoulders.

Bodyweight plays a role in the perception of firmness, too. Lighter individuals who don’t bring a lot of weight to the mattress will likely perceive most beds as feeling “firm” or at least “firmer.” On the other hand, people over 250 pounds will feel like most beds are soft. Heavier people will feel comfortable on medium-firm and medium beds, while lighter individuals will prefer medium-soft to medium mattresses.

Should I Get a Mattress in a Box?

Bed-in-a-box mattresses are only becoming more and more popular due to their convenience. Instead of driving store to store, you can now shop for a mattress online and have it delivered to your door like any other package.

To decide whether or not you should order a bed in a box, consider your personal shopping preferences. Do you enjoy going out to the store and trying a bed in person? Or are you more of an online shopper? While many used to fear online mattress shopping due to the fact that you couldn’t try the bed before buying, brands have mitigated this concern by offering in-home, risk-free sleep trials. So regardless of how you shop, you have the opportunity to try the bed before committing.

Consider the process of maneuvering and setting up a bed in a box. If you’re somebody who’s older or experiences frequent chronic pain, you probably won’t want the hassle of moving a cumbersome bed in a box to your bedroom and decompressing it.  Many online and in-store brands offer White Glove Delivery, which includes the set up of your new bed and removal of its packaging.

Ultimately, if you prefer to shop online and you’re equipped to set up a heavy bed in a box mattress, you should have no problems going the bed-in-a-box route.

Benefits of Side Sleeping

Side sleeping, along with back sleeping, is regarded as the healthiest sleeping position. It’s hard to pinpoint one “best” sleeping position because side sleeping and back sleeping offer different benefits for different needs.

For snorers and those with sleep apnea, side sleeping can alleviate your symptoms and help you get more undisturbed sleep.

Sleeping on your right side versus your left improves your heart health, too.

Frequently Asked Questions

What type of mattress is best for side sleepers?

Memory foam, latex, and hybrid mattresses are all comfortable for side sleepers because they can cushion the shoulders and hips, preventing pressure points. Side sleepers should also choose a mattress that’s around medium in firmness since these beds strike an even balance of comfort and support, which is ideal for side sleeping.

Should side sleepers have a firm or soft mattress?

Side sleepers should avoid soft and firm mattresses and look for a bed that falls somewhere in the middle. Side sleepers want a mattress to relieve pressure under the shoulders and hips while facilitating healthy alignment. Depending on body weight, the best mattress for side sleeping may be medium or medium-firm.

What mattress types are best for side sleepers?

Some high-quality foam mattress types for side sleepers include memory foam mattresses and latex mattresses. If you’re a hotter sleeper, consider a hybrid mattress.  A hybrid contains foam comfort layers and coil support layers for optimal breathability.

As a side sleeper, it’s vital to use a cushiony mattress to prevent pressure points around the shoulders and hips while still supporting the spine. This is why we don’t recommend traditional innerspring mattresses, which usually have only a thin comfort layer and rarely contour to the entire body.

What mattress is best for a side sleeper with back pain?

Back pain is common in side sleepers who are using an overly firm or too-soft mattress, which misaligns their spines. Look for a mattress with a medium feel so your back is well-supported without causing shoulder or hip pain.

The mattresses we usually recommend for side sleepers with back pain include the Amerisleep AS4, the Zoma Mattress, the Vaya Mattress, and the Original Purple®.

What mattress is best for a side sleeper with shoulder pain?

Shoulder pain when side sleeping often results from a firm mattress compressing the shoulder, causing pressure build-up and stiffness. A soft mattress is ideal for alleviating shoulder pain while side sleepers rest.

Some high-quality soft mattresses we recommend for side sleepers with shoulder pain include the Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid, the Bear Pro, and the Alexander Signature Hybrid.
