Is this pad suitable and comfortable for a side sleeper?

Yes, I think it is okay for side sleeping. However, an elbow or hip or something might contact through the pad to the ground depending on your overall weight and weight distribution. I weigh over 200 lbs, but find I can sleep on my side okay.

While comfort is very subjective, I sleep on my side a lot and was comfortable using this sleeping pad.

This is a great pad for general comfort. It does not provide any additional support for a side sleeper. I sleep on my side and it is fine for me. I'm 6'1" and weigh @ 200. If car camping, take an extra pillow for side support if you are used to that.

Yes. I purchased it for my husband who is a side sleeper, and he slept very well on the pad.

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

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'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.

The mattress pad is fine - thin but comfortable. My baby slept on it every night for the first 2 months and was always comfortable.

It can be; this pillow is a bit more stiff than the usual type of pillow so it does take some getting used to but I wouldn't go back to a regular pillow ever; I am a side sleeper and manage to sleep just fine on it; I do tuck my shoulder under it and push the pillow under my neck to cradle and support it more, but I am using it for side sleeping.

I feel it is good for side sleeping since I am a side sleeper and love this. It is still soft by morning, never feels hard. I have used it for a month so far but my daughter loves it and has used it for several months now and helps with her allergies

Yes, I usually sleep on my side and it is comfortable enough. Now, I only use this one or two nights a week so I can't speak for using this as a main bed.

It may take a couple to few days for you to get comfortable on this mattress as a side sleeper. But I found it to be better than a traditional mattress.

It would work fine for a back sleeper but I tend to be a side sleeper. I only used it for a week.

It is quite comfortable for sleeping. There is plenty of room and it does work very well for the occasional guest. In fact, I have just ordered the chaise lounge that matches the futon.

It's not bad. Add it with a cush sleeping bag, it's ok. Of course a thicker pad would help, but I'm a side sleeper too and I didn't have problems with it.

Both my husband and I feel the pad is firm but very comfortable on the spine and muscles. We are experiencing much better and longer sleep. Hope that is helpful.

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.

I don't know how much softness your looking for, but you will not sink into this pad, it kind of cradles you without sinking. You may want to test any pad that your thinking of buying since the memory foam is too firm.

I had a little trouble adjusting to sleeping on my side with the wedge because it is quite firm. It helped when I used a down filled pillow under my head. It took about a week before I really felt comfortable on my side but I got used to it and now that is how I always sleep.

Absolutely. It is very comfortable. I'm not a small person either. I have never had a sore back or side from sleeping on this pad.

No. It's a mattress pad that's meant to protect the mattress. It provides some cushioning, but isn't a pad for sleeping/comfort.
