Collection: Single beds for side sleepers

Single beds for side sleepers need to have a good cushioning properties to be able to provide a comfortable sleep. 

Bed properties that influence side sleepers.

Comfort levels

In our experience with side sleepers, there is a definite trend that leans toward a single bed that has a medium or medium soft feel sleep surface. This is because a sleep surface that is too firm could result in pressure points that will cause discomfort. This happens when the cushioning of the mattress does not support the heavier parts like your hips and shoulders. When this happens the result could often be sore joints in those areas.

Support structure

Another consideration is the support structure. If the mattress is too firm this will not allow the heavier areas to sink into the correct position during sleep. When this happens the spine will be forced to bow downwards causing musculoskeletal discomfort. The opposite is also problematic, when the mattress is too soft the heavier parts sink too low causing the spine to sink too much. The proper support structure, or lack thereof, is probably the most important factor to remember. This is not so important in the case of back sleepers.
