The Best Mattress for How YOU Sleep: Side, Back & Front Sleepers

There is no single "best mattress" – only the best mattress for your sleep position. Your sleeping style affects your spine alignment, pressure points, and comfort. Here's what our sleep experts recommend:

1. For Side Sleepers – You Need Pressure Relief

Over 60% of people sleep on their side. This position puts pressure on your shoulders and hips. If your mattress is too firm, you'll get aches and numb arms.

What to choose: Medium to Medium-Soft (Rating 3-5)

Best types to try in-store:

• Memory Foam Mattresses: Moulds to your curves and cushions shoulders and hips perfectly.
• Gel-Infused Memory Foam: Same pressure relief but stays cooler – ideal if you overheat.
• Pocket Sprung with Pillow Top: 1000+ pocket springs support your spine while a soft pillow top layer relieves pressure.

Staff Tip: Side sleepers from Swaffham love our medium-feel pocket sprung and hybrid mattresses.

2. For Back Sleepers – You Need Spinal Support

Back sleeping is great for your spine, but only if your mattress keeps your spine in a neutral line. Too soft and your hips sink; too hard and your lower back isn't supported.

What to choose: Medium-Firm to Firm (Rating 6-8)

Best types to try in-store:

• Pocket Sprung Mattresses (1000-2000 springs): The gold standard for back sleepers. Each spring moves independently to support your lower back.
• Hybrid Mattresses (Pocket Springs + Foam): Firm support with a comfortable top layer – perfect balance.
• Natural Fibre Mattresses (Wool, Latex): Breathable, firm, and highly supportive without feeling like a board.

3. For Front Sleepers (Stomach) – You Need Firm Support

Front sleeping can strain your neck and lower back if your mattress lets you sag in the middle. You need a firm, flat surface to keep your hips high and spine aligned.

What to choose: Firm to Extra-Firm (Rating 8-10)

Best types to try in-store:

• Firm Pocket Sprung Mattresses: Prevents hip sinkage and keeps your spine straight.
• Firm Orthopaedic Mattresses: Designed for maximum support and long-lasting firmness.
• Firm Latex Mattresses: Firm but responsive – supportive without pressure points.
