We answer below the age old question: why your sleeping position matters
So why does your sleeping position matter? At Pear Mill Beds and Furniture, we understand that getting a great night’s sleep starts with finding the right mattress for your body. But did you know your sleeping position plays a huge role in what kind of mattress you need?
Whether you’re a side sleeper, back sleeper, or stomach (front) sleeper, the right mattress can make a world of difference to your sleep quality and overall health. Let’s explore how your sleep position affects your mattress needs—and how Pear Mill Beds and Furniture can help you find the perfect fit.
Side Sleepers: Comfort and Pressure Relief
Why It Matters:
Side sleeping is the most common sleep position, but it can also create pressure points on the shoulders and hips. A mattress that’s too firm can cause discomfort or pain in these areas.
The Best Mattress for Side Sleepers:
Side sleepers need a medium-soft to medium mattress that cushions the joints and supports spinal alignment. Memory foam mattresses and hybrid beds with a plush top layer are ideal, as they offer contouring support without sacrificing stability.
✅ Top tip from Pear Mill Beds and Furniture:
Look for a mattress with zoned support to ease pressure on the hips and shoulders while keeping your spine straight.
Back Sleepers: Balanced Support
Why It Matters:
Back sleepers need a mattress that maintains the natural curve of the spine. If the mattress is too soft, the hips may sink, leading to lower back strain.
The Best Mattress for Back Sleepers:
A medium-firm mattress provides the perfect balance of support and comfort. Orthopaedic mattresses, latex mattresses, or high-density foam options often work best.
💡 Pear Mill Tip:
Visit our showroom to test our range of orthopaedic and back-support mattresses, hand-picked for healthy spinal alignment.
Front Sleepers (Stomach Sleepers): Firmness Is Crucial
Why It Matters:
Sleeping on your front can lead to spinal misalignment if your mattress allows your hips or abdomen to sink too deeply. This often causes lower back and neck pain.
The Best Mattress for Stomach Sleepers:
Stomach sleepers need a firm mattress that supports the midsection and promotes a neutral spine. Innerspring or firm foam mattresses are usually best.
🔎 Expert advice from Pear Mill Beds:
Consider pairing a firm mattress with a low-profile pillow to reduce neck strain.
