What size thickness would you recommend for a side &amp; back sleeper?
346415
I own a 3 inch and a 2 inch. My 2 inch is in the guest room and i have to say... it would work well for a back sleeper but the 3 inch is very comfortable (on my bed) for the side sleeper. It also depends on the size of the individual. My guess would be the heavier the person.. the thicker the pad? My husband is 190 pounds and the 2 or 3 inch works great.

I'd say they're about average thickness as far as sheets go. If you want thick sheets, maybe look into flannel ones.

I am also a back sleeper and love it for my knees. I also noticed that Carex has a memory foam knee pillow that looks like it is for side sleeper, you might check that out too.

If you want a soft side I would go with the 16 inch. If you are interested in a hard side check out the 20 inch box! I use it to transport whatever crafty project I'm working on. Everything fits perfectly!

It mostly depends on how tall you are. I have slept on both the regular size and the long and I honestly couldn't tell the difference. I'm 6'1" 185 lbs, either works for me. If you're a side sleeper then perhaps try the long since it offers a bit more cushion.

Neither - I sent mine back. I am a side sleeper, and it was very flat (did not look like the photo). Ended up going with a Pacific Coast Double Down Around pillow from THEIR website. You then have a choice of soft, medium, and firm. I have a soft Double Down Around and a standard down stuffed into a single pillow protector, and boy is it ever fluffy and big!

I totally had trouble finding sheets to fit!! Since it's so much thicker than cheapo mattresses, it was a challenge. What I found worked GREAT were the Circo brand jersey knit sheets from Target. They are so stretchy (and soft!) and fit great. I also have one Pottery Barn sheet that was given to us that happens to work well, and a Dr. Seuss flannel sheet found on Amazon.com that was labeled "deep pockets." These all work well - Id recommend the Circo jersey knit or any that say they are deep pocket - these tend to be more expensive higher quality sheets. They will all say they fit "standard" crib mattresses, so the dimensions won't do much good - stretchier sheets fit much better than standard woven sheets. Good luck! It was worth the search in order to have the mattress!

We went with an average thickness on the mattress because we also got the trundel and need a thickness that works with it to fit under the bed. I think it looks nice and is pretty confy. --Hope this helps

I'm more of a side sleeper that's why I purchased a high loft plush, a low loft would be perfect for stomach sleeper, not as high so as to keep the your neck and spine perfectly aligned. Also this pilllow will not sink flat, will sink to certain level and remain solid, excellent pillow.

Sleep Innovations really only offers the one level of firmness and it's pretty firm. I read through a lot of the reviews and went with the 12 inch and got the Full Size 3 Inch Thick, 4 Pound Density Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper by Memory Foam Solutions to go with it. The combination makes for an extremely soft bed and still keeps you at a very low price.

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 about 5 inches thick, I think. My husband and I both have one and it's very comfortable, especially for side sleeping.

Hello Ozog! I measured it especialy for you))) Neck support area is not same thick everywhere))) Yes. From one side let's say it's bottom for me, so for my neck: right in the middle it's 3,5" and at the sides it's 4 1/4" (which is exactly my shoulder side). So when I sleep on my back it's lower and when I sleep on my side I just turn to one of sides and my shoulder relax too. But if you're man you'll enjy to turn it upside down and you'll sleep on side which is opposite to my bottom) Measurments there are 4" in the middle and 5 1/4" at the sides. Thus man shoulder will relax too. Sorry for mistakes, I always in hurry when typing. I can just add to my previous wow that time passed and I still think it's the best solution for my neck. And it's universal for man and woman. So you can turn it and find your comfortable side. If you buy it, you'll be very surprised about it shape. This picture doesn't show sides. Sellers do not realize that they could sell much more if they show sides.

No, you should get something thicker. I'm about 130 pounds, and depending on how I lay, my hip or my bottom will rest on the mattress. But, it is much more comfortable than the matress alone.

Generally, the thicker the mattress, the more plush/soft the mattress will be. The 8" is designed for back sleepers. The 10-12" is designed for back/side sleepers. The 13" is designed for all around sleeping, including on the stomach. Memory foam mattresses will contour to your body during your rest, as it reacts to temperature. It will support your full body by contouring to your body shape. Our spring mattresses, still give support, as your body will contour to the individually wrapped coils.

The thickness. If you like a thinner one go with the low-profile. I read lots of reviews that said for women the low is better but I think I would of preferred the high instead. I still like the low but took some time to get used to since I had been using a thicker pillow prior to it.
