I sleep mostly on my side and wake up with shoulder pressure. I’m scared of buying something too firm and making it worse.

AI Summary

Side sleepers discuss mattresses that relieve shoulder pressure while still supporting the spine.

I would avoid final-sale mattresses for shoulder pain. You may not know in one night. My shoulder took two weeks to adjust to a new bed, and the return trial gave me peace of mind.

Do not ignore your pillow. I blamed my mattress for shoulder pain, but my pillow was too low and my neck angle was wrong. The mattress matters, but side sleepers need the right pillow height too.

Side sleepers usually need enough cushioning for the shoulder and hip. Too firm can create pressure points. I liked a softer hybrid because it had plush foam on top but coils underneath so my lower back did not sag.
