Side-sleepers, rejoice! The WIRED Reviews team have tested hundreds of mattresses and narrowed down the best options for you. From luxurious smart beds with adjustable firmness levels to affordable foam alternatives, there’s a mattress out there that can provide the perfect balance of support and comfort.

The key is finding a mattress that keeps your back aligned while providing cushioning for hips and shoulders. Without proper lumbar support, side sleepers risk sinking too much in the middle, causing strain on the hips and shoulders. Look for options with good pressure relief to ensure a restful night’s sleep.

Our team members, including Martin Cizmar and certified sleep science coach Julia Forbes, have spent years testing mattresses to identify those that excel in providing lumbar support, pressure relief, and comfort. We recommend the Rejuvenate, Saatva Rx, Puffy Cloud, and Casper the One for their unique features and side-sleeping benefits.

Whether you’re investing in a high-end smart bed or an affordable all-foam option, there’s a mattress out there that can help side sleepers achieve the perfect night's rest.
