Key takeaway: Sleep position is a starting point, not a prescription. Test for comfortable pressure relief and stable support in the position you use most.
Side sleepers
Side sleepers commonly need enough surface cushioning for the shoulder and hip while maintaining support through the waist. Too firm may create pressure; too soft may allow uneven sinking.
Back sleepers
Back sleepers often prefer a balanced feel that supports the lower back without creating a rigid gap or allowing the pelvis to settle too deeply.
Stomach sleepers
Stomach sleepers frequently look for a more stable surface that limits deep midsection sinking. Pillow height also affects neck position.
Combination sleepers and couples
People who change position benefit from a surface that is easy to move across. Couples should test together and prioritize the needs that affect sleep most.
- Motion disturbance
- Usable edge space
