Is this mattress good for side sleepers? I'm concerned about the firmness...

I am a sromach sleeper and now with the firmness of this mattress I have no back problem in the morning. Matress is firm and extremely ccomfortable. We need a king for another room and I will be buying one of these. I am sleeping in a fullsize. I am also buying my 3 year old a granddaughter a twin size.

Yes. I sleep on my side primarily and on my back at other times. It's an amazing mattress.

I find it to hard as we both sleep on our sides. She and I have sore sholders now.

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.

Yes it is a good mattress for a side sleeper, as my wife sleeps on her side

I am a side sleeper and it has been a great bed for me. No more shoulder/hip issues.

I sleep on my side and belly both and it is perfect for side sleeping. The foam has give but is solid enough to keep my spine straight.

This is NOT a squishy mattress! Firm and comfortable from the get go. I have had it several months now and it is still firm and comfy. I would buy it again and will recommend it to you. Good luck!

I would agree with the others, it's medium firm to firm. A lot of local mattress stores have them on the floor to try out. I would recommend lying down on various different beds before deciding to purchase on Amazon for the extreme savings.

It is not firm. As you lay down it starts to conform to your body. It is the most comfortable mattress I ever slept on but it is not firm.

I suffer from arthritis of the hip, some people like the mattresses a little bit softer, I'd say this one is between soft and firm, but to my peace of mind, all the pain I used to sleep and wake up with has gone away since I started sleeping on it. I really hope you can find it as relieving as I have. Good luck!

Please read my review from Sept 5 2012. I love this mattress. It is firm but yet conforms to your shape. I find it cold when I first get into bed. I have slept multiple times on the Serta cooling mattress mentioned in my review and I find it too firm. I am a side sleeper and my arms go numb. We had to add a mattress topper and that helped. I think the cooling layer is a sales gimmic I have not noticed a difference between this matteress and the one with the cooling layer.

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 would say no to stomach sleepers. It is high loft, but squishes down part way for back sleeping and good for side sleeping. So thin - no, soft - yes, plush - partially, firm - partially - high loft - yes

I'd say that it is firm, and may feel a bit too firm the first 2 nights. The memory foam layer is only two inches thick, so we don't sink in very far. After the first few nights its really comfortable even for side sleepers.

I am also a side sleeper. I have used it once since purchasing and had a very comfortable sleep

It is not too firm. I have read many comments on the mattress, and was hesitate a little. But I am very pleased

I'm a 195lb man, and even though 5.5 should be rather firm, I found it to be much too soft for my liking. (I was looking for something firm.) I had a 4" memory foam topper from my previous spring mattress that I put on top of this though, and it feels much better (firm) now. I'd say if you want something you can sink into a bit, this would be right up your alley.

It is definitely firmer than I expected it to be. It doesn't seem to have much give but if you like a supportive mattress then this is great. My wife and I threw a mattress pad on top and it is just right for us. If you do want to try it out here is a coupon code that still works for $50 off. https://www.tuftandneedle.com/r/asCKyMMu

I am a side sleeper and many of the older memory foam mattresses I have tried were fine if you didn't move at all during the night. The new combination materials that go into the pillow tops offer a different experience altogether. I find this mattress was comfortable for my side style of sleeping. I would also recommend you move this mattress as little as possible. Every time I have moved this mattress it loses more firmness.

It would work fine but keep in mind that this mattress is very firm and will be terribly uncomfortable for anyone who wants to sleep on their side.

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.

For me, the mattress is firm. It is the most comfortable I have ever had. I feel that I can really stretch out and give my spine a chance to stretch out. In the short time I have had it, I feel as if my posture is improving. Descriptions have different meanings for all people, but in my book it is firm, not extra firm. I don't think I could sleep on an extra firm mattress. Hope this helps.
