To start off, what is your sleeping position?
Though a majority of folks tend to toss and turn between different positions in the night, most people favor certain positions over others. Maybe you’re someone who likes to start off on your back and roll over to your side. Or perhaps you spend most of the night on your side and then finish things off on your stomach while hitting snooze in the morning. Sometimes, you might wake up with a sore neck or back, affecting your quality of sleep.
If you’ve never really thought about your preferred sleeping positions before, I’d encourage you to pay extra close attention to how you sleep over the next week. You’ll likely find that you’re either a back sleeper, side sleeper, stomach sleeper, or some combination of the three.
Back sleepers
Though back sleepers are lucky in that they can usually find comfort in a variety of different types of mattresses and materials. Too firm, and these users could experience unnecessary tension at the shoulders and lower back. Too soft, and their hips could sink out of alignment with their shoulders, resulting in a bowed back and shooting pains up the spine.
These dreamers need a medium-firm feel that falls right in the middle of these two extremes. One like Swissaire Ergo Back Care. Designed with a combination of extra firm back support and a high level of stability for extra comfort. Truly made for the most demanding sleeper.
Side sleepers
Where back sleepers need balance, side sleepers need deep pressure relief at the shoulders and hips. This means that they’ll typically want to stick with a softer mattress that contours to the curves of the body to help prevent uncomfortable jamming in the night.
Since side sleepers are exerting so much force on their joints at night, it’s crucial that they land on a gentle bed designed specifically with pressure relief in mind. A lot of mattresses claim to alleviate shoulder and hip pain, but it’s important to really dig into the construction specs to figure out how well a bed is going to relieve pressure at these spots.
Swissaire Ergo Contour Mattress combines balance and harmony for the highest possible comfort level. It focuses relief in the shoulder area while at the same time supporting the body in all of the essential places across the entire sleep surface.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers are basically the opposite of side sleepers in that they’ll want an ultra-firm mattress that lifts the hips in line with the shoulders. The biggest issue these folks will face is a soft mattress that causes the hips to sink out of alignment with the rest of the spine, so they’ll want to keep their eyes set on highly supportive models.
The key here is to find a bed that combines super supportive foundations with thin comfort layers to provide just a touch of cushion to the overall firmness. Our Harmony Mattress not only provides the perfect pressure relief and posture support that you need but it also achieves the union of optimum back support and sleep comfort.
Another mattress we recommend for stomach sleepers is our Ergo Supreme Mattress. It elevates deep restorative sleep to a higher sense of well-being. True supremacy in sleep comfort and posture support.
Combo Sleepers
And finally, combo sleepers, the folks who combine all three positions. A popular sleeping style, but one that requires a dynamic mattress able to provide comfort across the back, side, and stomach. A medium-firm mattress is an excellent choice for combo sleepers because they typically strike a pleasant balance between pressure relief and support.
They’re soft enough to provide pressure relief to the shoulders while sleeping on the side and firm enough to support the hips whilst dozing on the back. More than anything, combo sleepers will want to consider the bounce and mobility of their mattress.
It’s vital that these sleepers are able to move around and adjust positions with ease, so they’ll likely want to focus either on buoyant latex or hybrid mattresses. Ergo Backcare Mattress is the perfect solution for these types of sleepers. It is designed for those who require a combination of extra firm back support with extra comfort.
Another mattress we highly recommend is the SwissAire Ergo-Swiss. It is the Epitome of the finest sleep ergonomic precision that a combo sleeper would ever need. It provides sensual luxury, offers a haven of sweet dreams, and deep, restorative sleep that any combo sleeper needs.
