Are you a side sleeper struggling to find the perfect mattress? Achieving the right balance between firmness and cushioning is essential for a good night's sleep and spinal health. While many side sleepers lean towards medium firmness, opting for a firmer mattress like a Zoned Pocket Spring or Hybrid can provide targeted support for your spine, shoulders, and hips—helping to reduce aches and pressure points.
At Apley Beds, we recommend trying out different options like our Luxury Hybrid or Orthopaedic mattresses, and always performing a 'Spine Check' and the '20-Minute Rule' before making your final decision.
