Are medium-firm mattresses good for side sleepers?

Medium-firm mattresses are popular for their universal appeal – they are designed to cater to as many sleep positions as possible. Back sleepers tend to benefit the most from medium-firmness as it's soft enough to support your body’s lumbar region and firm enough to avoid that “sinking feeling”.

While the medium-firm mattress is suitable for most side sleepers, many people who sleep on their side – especially those with a lightweight frame – may benefit from a mattress that’s rated soft on the firmness scale because its softness cushions your hips and shoulders. However, most side sleepers will do just fine with a medium firm mattress – especially if you’re between 130 and 250lbs. 

Our top-rated medium-firm mattress is the Saatva Classic, so read our full Saatva Classic mattress review for a great alternative to the Tempur-Cloud and for a comparable price too. We also recommend the Avocado Green Mattress in medium firm, and that's also on sale too – take a look at our guide to Avocado mattress deals for the latest offers.
