Best Mattress for Side Sleepers in Loveland, CO
If you’re a side sleeper, your mattress matters more than you think. The wrong bed can cause shoulder pain, hip pressure, numb arms, and lower back strain. At Mattress Unboxed in Loveland, Colorado, we work with side sleepers every day, and the biggest issue we see isn’t firmness — it’s pressure relief and spinal alignment.
This guide breaks down what side sleepers actually need and which mattresses you can try locally that solve those problems.
Why Side Sleepers Need More Pressure Relief
When you sleep on your side, most of your body weight rests on two main points:
-
Shoulders
-
Hips
If your mattress is too firm, those areas take too much pressure. If it’s too soft, your hips sink and throw your spine out of alignment. The goal is a mattress that:
✔ Cushions pressure points
✔ Keeps your spine straight
✔ Prevents shoulder and hip pain
✔ Supports your lower back
This balance is called contouring support, and it’s the key factor side sleepers should shop for.
What to Look for in a Mattress if You Sleep on Your Side
Before we talk brands, here’s what actually matters:
1. Pressure Relief Layers
Memory foam or advanced comfort foams help cradle shoulders and hips without creating pressure.
2. Zoned Support
Mattresses with firmer support under the hips and softer comfort under shoulders keep your spine aligned.
3. Medium to Medium-Soft Feel
Most side sleepers do best in the 4–6 firmness range (not rock hard, not ultra plush).
4. Motion Isolation
Side sleepers tend to toss and turn more. Good motion control helps couples sleep better.
