Mattresses 101: What is the Best Mattress to Buy?
There are a number of things to consider when choosing the right mattress, one being your sleeping position. You may be wondering why you should be choosing a mattress based on your preferred sleeping position, ultimately, the best mattress for you is the one that provides you with a balance of comfort and support, and different sleeping positions require different forms of support.
The parts of your body that press most against your mattress, better known as your pressure points, are affected by each sleeping position. In that case, a mattress that caters to each pressure point is ideal for supreme comfort. If you’re troubled by lower back pains, shoulder or hip pain, this may be something that you’re already aware of.
Best Mattresses for Side Sleepers
So, you’re a side sleeper? You are amongst the majority of adults in the UK as more than half of British adults sleep on their side.
As a side sleeper, it’s important that you’re aware of your vulnerable pressure points that need to be adequately cushioned with the help of an appropriate mattress. Pressure points for side sleepers tend to be their hips, shoulders and ears, these parts of the body are prone to soreness. Hence, why side sleepers should avoid a mattress that is too firm. Instead, opt for a soft or medium mattress. In terms of mattress type, opt for a memory foam, gel or latex mattress. However, weight, comfortability and if you suffer from any back pain should also be taken into account.
