00:00I've been a side sleeper my whole life. It's the only way I can fall asleep.
00:04But here's the thing no one tells you about sleeping on your side.
00:08Almost all your weight lands on two places, your shoulder and your hip.
00:12But that's not something you have to live with. That's the mattress.
00:16So I looked at five of them, and each one solves the problem a little differently.
00:21First up, and the best overall pick for side sleepers, the Helix Midnight Luxe.
00:27What this one does well is balance. There's pressure relief right where a side sleeper needs it.
00:33At the shoulders and the hips. So those two points sink instead of pressing back at you.
00:38But underneath that, there's zone support.
00:41It's firmer through the middle, so your midsection doesn't drop while your shoulder and hip are sinking.
00:47That combination is what keeps your spine in a comfortable line all night.
00:53Cushioned where you're heaviest. Supported where you'd normally sag.
00:57If you want one mattress that just gets side sleeping right, this is the one.
01:03Next, the Lisa Sapira Hybrid. The best hybrid for side sleepers.
01:08This one is for people who move.
01:10If you fall asleep on one side and wake up on the other,
01:13you know the feeling of finding a mattress that's holding on to you.
01:16You still get real pressure relief at your shoulders and hips,
01:20but without that deep sinking feeling, you're on the mattress, not in it.
01:25So when you shift in the night, you just shift.
01:28You're not pushing yourself up out of a dent to do it.
01:31Now, if you want the exact opposite of that, the NOLA Evolution.
01:36The best plush mattress for side sleepers.
01:38This is the soft one.
01:40Deeply cushioned.
01:42The kind where you press your hand in and it just keeps going.
01:45And for a side sleeper, that plushness is doing real work.
01:48More cushioning at your shoulder and your hip
01:51means more pressure relief at the two spots carrying all your weight.
01:55It also just feels luxurious,
01:57giving your body a soft place to land after a long day.
02:00If your ideal bed is the one you sink into and don't want to get out of,
02:04this is it.
02:06If you sleep on your side and you sleep hot,
02:09the Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe.
02:11The best cooling mattress for side sleepers.
02:14Cooling is the whole focus here.
02:16Temperature regulation is built into the mattress,
02:19so you're not the one managing it at two in the morning
02:22by sticking one leg out from under the covers
02:24or ditching the covers altogether.
02:26But it doesn't give up the side sleeper basics to get there.
02:30You still get cushioning and pressure relief
02:32around your shoulders and hips.
02:34You're just not overheating while you get it.
02:38And last, the Bear Elite Hybrid.
02:41This is the most supportive of the five.
02:44Enhanced body and back support
02:46with zone support that firms up where you need holding
02:48and gives where you need cushioning.
02:50It also comes in multiple firmness options
02:53and that matters more than people think.
02:56Back support isn't one size fits all.
02:58Being able to choose your firmness
03:01means you can match the mattress
03:03to what your back actually needs instead of hoping.
03:07So, five mattresses
03:08for five different kinds of side sleeper.
03:11The Helix Midnight Luxe is the balanced all-arounder,
03:14cushioning your shoulders and hips
03:16while keeping your spine in line.
03:18The Lisa Sapira Hybrid is the responsive one
03:22for side sleepers who move throughout the night
03:24and don't want to feel stuck.
03:26The Nola Evolution is the plush pick,
03:29deeply cushioned for the most pressure relief
03:32and a more luxurious feel.
03:34The Brooklyn Bedding Aurora Luxe is the cooling pick,
03:38keeping you comfortable without giving up
03:40cushioning at your shoulders and hips.
03:42And the Bear Elite Hybrid is the most supportive
03:45with zone support and firmness options
03:48if your back needs the help.

03:54and find the mattress that best fits your sleep needs.
03:57Because sleeping on your side
03:59shouldn't mean waking up sore.
