Side sleepers are the most common kind of sleepers. Most people find that sleeping on their side is the only position which results into a restful night’s sleep. Although, it is considered ideal to sleep on the back as it keeps the spine aligned, the next best position to sleep is on the side. But, side sleepers may find themselves tossing and turning quite a lot. Also, since there are more curves on the side of your body as compared to the back, a poorly picked out mattress can create tension in your shoulders, hips, and neck. Also, if you think it doesn’t matter which side you sleep on, then you’re wrong. Doctors suggest that you should sleep on your left side for better blood flow. Side sleepers should get a softer mattress which can provide the support they need, while gently contouring to the curves of their body. In this article, we will list a few mattresses that are ideal for side sleepers.
