This article reviews the 10 best mattresses for side sleepers available online.
Getting a good night’s sleep is crucial to having a productive day. You can buy the most comfortable sheets, have the thermostat set at the ideal temperature, get the perfect pillow, but if you don’t have the right mattress, then none of those other pieces really matter.
However, shopping for a new mattress can be daunting. There are so many styles, varieties, and price ranges. How do you narrow it down from plush, pillow top, memory foam, firm, and all the other styles available?
If you’re a side sleeper, then you’ll probably need extra support for your pressure points, so we wrote this review for you. We’ve rounded up the best mattresses for side sleepers on their quests to wake up feeling rested.
1. Helix
Nightfall
If you’re interested in a mattress that’s not too soft and not too firm, then you might enjoy the Helix Nightfall’s medium feel and the foam’s all position contouring that adjusts to your body. For side sleepers, the extra layer of support from the ultra density foam is designed to relieve pressure.
The Helix Nightfall is made in the USA with certified safe foam and is free of harmful chemicals. For extra peace of mind, it’s also covered by a 10-year warranty. If you’re still on the fence about it, you can take advantage of their offer to try their 100-night sleep trial.
2. Suiforlun
Hybrid Mattress
This hybrid mattress combines the comfort of gel memory foam with the support of individually wrapped innerspring coils. If you don’t sleep alone, separated coils mean that you won’t feel your partner’s movements in bed.
If you’re an allergy sufferer or have sensitive skin, Suiforlun’s foam has been certified to meet standards by CertiPUR-US and is hypoallergenic. You can try the hybrid mattress for 30 days and if you decide to keep it, it’s covered by a 10-year warranty.
3. Nectar
Memory Foam Mattress
Interested in trying a mattress for a year before deciding that it has really lived up to its promises of providing you with better sleep? Then you might want to try Nectar’s Memory Foam mattress because they let you keep the bed for up to 365 days. If you’re not 100% satisfied, they’ll retrieve the mattress and you’ll get your money back.
The memory foam mattress has distinct layers created to help you rest. The top cooling cover allows air to circulate, while three layers of memory foam provide support, evenly distribute your weight, and contour to your body no matter what position you prefer. The bottom base layer serves as a sturdy foundation for the mattress.
4. Tuft & Needle
Bed in a Box
Have you tried a memory foam bed and felt like you were sinking into the mattress? Tuft & Needle’s Bed in a Box is made with adaptive foam to keep you from feeling like you’re sleeping in quicksand and it is tailored to provide support for all sleeping positions.

5. Lucid
Gel Infused Memory Foam Mattress
With the Lucid Gel Infused Memory Foam Mattress, you’ll be sleeping on three inches of breathable gel memory foam on top of nine inches of high-density base foam to provide you with 12 inches of nighttime comfort.
The layering results in a medium-feel mattress that’s not overly firm or plush so that your body is properly supported and pressure points are relieved. Independent testing by CertiPUR-US verifies that Lucid’s memory foam doesn’t contain any formaldehyde or other worrisome chemicals so you can rest easy knowing that your new mattress has met high safety standards.
6. Saatva
The Mattress
The individually wrapped coils of the Saatva mattress prevent motion from being transferred throughout the mattress so that you won’t be disturbed if your bedmate is tossing and turning. The coils are constructed in a “coil on coil” configuration with a bottom coil layer offering steel support in an hourglass shape.
The upper coils are encased in foam and saatva utilizes a Perimeter Edge Support System to prevent sagging on the mattress edges. The high-quality foam gives an additional layer of pressure relief and lumbar support to reduce back pain. All saatva mattresses are handcrafted and made in the USA.

10. Purple
Hyper-Elastic Polymer Bed
Purple’s Hyper-Elastic Polymer Bed was developed by two engineer brothers who wanted to create a mattress that provides spinal alignment whether you sleep on your back or side. The bed uses Free Air Flow Technology which makes the mattress breathable so that you can sleep comfortably.
Purple’s polymer is antimicrobial to shield against dust mites and allergies, has been certified safe for use by the FDA, and their foam is CertiPUR-US certified, so you can rest assured there are no toxic chemicals in the materials.
