Sleep America carries mattresses for all kinds of sleepers. Click on the left to learn more.
Side Sleeper
The majority of people prefer to sleep on their side. But when your mattress is too firm, side sleepers could toss and turn at night due to pressure points. Softer top mattresses like Pillow Tops or Eurotops may be recommended to help relive that "pins and needles" feeling created by these pressure points.
Stomach Sleeper
Many sleep professionals do not recommend sleeping on your stomach as it can be problematic, but the fact is, some people do. Because your back doesn't like to be arched backwards, it's important that the sleeping surface properly respond to the body's shape and weight distribution. If you sleep on your stomach, it's best if you look for more padding in the upholstery layers to allow the bed to conform to your body shape.
Back Sleeper
When you sleep on your back, your weight is usually more evenly distributed over a larger surface. However, if your bed is not providing the proper support, the natural curves of your back may have to shift alignment in order to meet the mattress.
Back Pain
This is one of the classic signs that it's probably time for a new mattress. Many people mistakenly think if they're suffering back pain, all they need is a firmer mattress. Today's mattresses are so advanced, they can give you the soft, caressing comfortable surface of a Pillow or EuroTop, while offering firm support for your spine deeper within the mattress from the spring structure.
Pins and Needles in Shoulders or Legs
This is the sensation that people have when they say that their arm or leg has "fallen asleep". This is a very important sign that your mattress may not have enough comfort layers to prevent pressure points. Pressure points are caused when areas like your knee, elbow our shoulder are pushing too firmly against the firm spring structure, hampering blood circulation. Sometimes getting a bed with more padding can make a real difference in alleviating pressure points.
