What about comfort for side-sleepers. Most air mattresses I have tried really hurt my shoulders.

I have not spent the night on this, but I have laid on it. It is very thick, with a padded top. In my experience with inferior air mattresses, side-sleeping makes contact with the floor through the mattress. That cannot happen with this one. It's about 2 feet thick.

Hypoallergenic foam and a good pillow will allow you to customize the right form. Department stores sell "egg-crate" foam, but there are slightly more expensive 2-inch thick styles that you can use single or folded in half to double the thickness. I'm not supporting this mattress, though, because it developed a leak after 3 months due to a perceived design flaw (see my other review). I bought a Serta one-piece mattress of same size and better quality. Amazon sells Serta one-piece models with the same overall thickness as this Aerobed.

It can be softened to help with side sleeping as long as your partner doesn't mind. And when it is softened you still stay seperate

I'm a side sleeper as well and have been quite comfortable. With a really good padded mattress cover I think you'll enjoy a good nights' rest on your side, back or stomach.

I have been sleeping on the Aerobed for about 2 years now, every night. I am a side sleeper, I have no problem with with my shoulders hurting

I can't make any promises, Patricia. In the case of my own mattress it didn't appear to be sagging, but I could feel it when I would lay down on it. If your side is sunk in as you say, this memory foam topper may not give you all the support that you need. It might make it somewhat better, but then again it might not provide all the improvement that you need. You might be better off applying the cost of the topper towards a new mattress.

I think the low loft is best for sleeping on your back. That's what I have and love it for that, it is too low for side sleeping though. Doesn't seem like your problem though! ;)

I'm a side sleeper and I'm male, about 5'10, 155lbs, and broad shoulders from being a "gym-rat". This mattress seems to be okay on my side, but is VERY comfortable when I'm on my back. If you're really concerned, I would probably go for a thicker mattress and/or make sure you're using a firm side-sleeper pillow.

It's good for both. On a firm bed, this gives the cushioning to feel cradled while on your back, and if you sleep on your side, it improves the comfort of side sleeping. A softer mattress is typically better for side sleeping, so if your mattress is really firm and you side sleep, you might want an even thicker topper to soften it. 4" could do it.

I sleep on my side and it works with no problems. I have also found I wake up with less aches than on a conventional mattress.

I bought it because I have a tempurpedic bed and I love it but we have goose down pillows that sink to the mattress. My neck started aching after he bought those pillows probably due to lack of support. I got this pillow and i'm all better, I don't use any other pillow, also I'm a side sleeper.

No, because I think one needs a better support system when sleeping. This helped soften the feel of an airbed. I would purchase a new mattress for my child in college and use it for all four years.

Not exactly sure of your question. If you are a back sleeper, it should work fine. Side sleeping puts a great deal of pressure on your hips. Doesn't work for stomach sleeping either.

Really impossible to know what anyone else finds comfortable. It is a little too firm for me. Might be just what you like though. I ordered it hoping it would work for my neck, but have ended up using it under my knee when sleeping on my side.

I sleep on my side most of the time. My mattress was new, but too firm and a bit warm. This makes it very nice.

I am a side sleeper too. I think it is denser than memory foam for example and instead of sinking into the topper it seems to give you support. It works very well for me. Also it doesn't have any toxic fumes. I think it is a Wonderful topper!

You wouldn't be comfortable because of the hard plastic pieces on the back. Sometimes they bother me when I am reclining. Give it a try and find out for yourself how it feels.

I haven't had much luck sleeping with them - except while on my back. For me, they stick out a little too far for comfort while trying to sleep on my side. Good luck!

Both my wife and me sleep on ours sides. I have never had a better nights sleep. My wife is disabled with a bad back, and she needed a mattress that is firm, her back is doing better since sleeping on the Sleep Innovations.

Hi Kiki, regarding this pillow, I really like it a lot. As a person who sleeps on their back, it's very comfortable and really helps my chronic neck pain but using this pillow for sleeping on my side doesn't work at all for me. It's not comfortable and my face does slide back into the center of the pillow. I hope this helps you. Sandy

I bought the dream foam mattress in the 10 inch version. I have a cranky back and find it difficult to get comfortable. This mattress did the trick for me. I would call it medium firm With just enough give for sleeping on your side. Its wonderful.
