"Yes"&mdash;your sleeping position absolutely matters when it comes to choosing a mattress! Whether it be a <a href="https://www.simplysleepbetter.com/catalog/plush" target="_blank">softer plush</a>, a <a href="https://www.simplysleepbetter.com/catalog/firm" target="_blank">firmer feel</a>, or <a href="https://www.simplysleepbetter.com/catalog/medium" target="_self">something in-between</a>, one of the most important things to consider when choosing a mattress is what support level you need based on your preferred sleeping position.&nbsp;

In order to find a mattress that will alleviate pressure points in the areas you need it most while maintaining correct spinal alignment, let&rsquo;s take a look at how you sleep. Find your sleep position below to see what support level you should look for!

Side

Side sleepers typically prefer a softer feel on the top of their mattress. Most side sleeper pressure points will be on your shoulders and hips, so a mattress with a plush to medium comfort level will allow your mattress to contour to these areas accordingly to alleviate pressure points and ensure proper spinal alignment.

Stomach
<img alt="stomach sleeper" height="252" src="https://i.ibb.co/1GPJwwm/Stomach-Sleeper.png" title="stomach sleeper" width="647" />
As a stomach sleeper, your hips need to be elevated to ensure proper spinal alignment. This can be achieved with a mattress with a firmer support level so that your hips don&rsquo;t sink, avoiding a dipped &ldquo;U-shape&rdquo; sleep position that directly leads to back pain. Since the majority of your pressure is on your back, a mattress with a firmer support will hold your body up in proper alignment!

Back

If you sleep on your back, a medium support level is recommended for you! Most of the support you&rsquo;ll need is in your lower back, so a medium firmness will allow enough support to keep it aligned while still allowing some light to moderate comfort layer contouring - just enough to keep you from sinking in. Not too soft and not too firm&hellip; but something in-between.

Combination

Maybe you rotate between all of the above, or you&rsquo;ve invented you own unique sleeping position (pretzel anyone?)! If so, do you have one that you favor the most? If you don&rsquo;t have a primary position, a medium firmness is a good place to start. Keep an eye out for mattresses that feature quick responsiveness&mdash;this makes switching positions easier so you&rsquo;re not waking up during this process at night.&nbsp; If you have a sleeping partner, also look for motion isolation so they can rest easy when you&rsquo;re doing your position gymnastics ????
