Here are mattresses we liked for side sleepers, but weren’t the best of the bunch.
Personal Comfort the Rejuvenate for $4,700: There’s no denying that the cushy, foam-forward feel of this smart bed is great for side sleeping. It gently contours around the hips and shoulders, while the 45 adjustable firmness levels let you make it softer or firmer as needed. Don’t expect sleep tracking with the Rejuvenate, as Personal Comfort doesn’t offer this with its beds. —Julia Forbes
Saatva Rx for $3,449: In cases where side sleepers are dealing with some pretty advanced joint pain, you have to call in reinforcements. Luckily, the Saatva Rx was made for this and helps with gentle cushioning and support. It has specialty therapeutic foams and microcoils, which helped keep my back- and joint-related pain flare-ups to a minimum. —Nena Farrell
Puffy Cloud for $1,049: The Puffy Cloud’s all-foam construction offers a softer feel to sleepers, but doesn’t overdo it so that spine alignment’s an afterthought. It does a good job of keeping pressure off the hips and shoulders for side sleeping, like a soft hug. —Julia Forbes
Casper the One for $999: This all-foam mattress from Casper had a firmer feel and delivered on pressure relief, but not as well as the brand’s Dream Hybrid. Still, it’s a good option for those who want an affordable memory foam mattress that’s easy to move around. —Julia Forbes
