Mattress Considerations for Side Sleepers

Side sleeping concentrates pressure around the shoulder and hip. A useful mattress needs enough cushioning for those areas without allowing the body to settle in an uncomfortable position.

Pressure relief first

Look for a comfort system that can cushion the shoulder and hip. The amount of softness needed changes with body weight and preference.

Firmness is personal

A lighter side sleeper may experience a mattress as firmer than a heavier sleeper on the same model.

Hybrid option

A hybrid can combine cushioning with coil responsiveness. Aviya positions its Plush option primarily toward side sleepers; that is manufacturer guidance, not a guarantee of fit.
