Everyone knows that a good night’s sleep starts with a good mattress. The caveat is that everyone sleeps slightly differently, which demands proper support if you don’t want to wake up the next day feeling like your body has worked a full shift on its own. This is why a “one-size-fits-all†mattress for best sleep simply doesn’t work.
Your sleeping position determines where your body needs the most support; whether you’re a side, back, stomach, or combination sleeper, it all comes down to proper spinal alignment.
At The Bed Village Yorkshire, we specialise in providing high-quality, handcrafted mattresses to suit every sleeping style. Below, we discuss these sleeping styles in more detail, the best mattresses in our catalogue to suit them, and other factors to consider when choosing the perfect mattress for your needs.
Choosing the Best Sleeping Bed Mattress for Your Sleeping Style
This is the best time to be honest with yourself; we all have that one position where we can easily drift off to sleep as soon as our head hits the pillow, after all. And as we’ve said before, the way you sleep plays a huge role in how you feel the next morning, so it’s critical that you have a bed that supports your specific sleeping style.
And as a bit of a spoiler: it’s not just about how soft the bed is when it comes to deciding which mattress is best for sleeping—it never is, actually!
Side Sleepers
Side sleepers are the most common. This sleeping style, in particular, puts the most pressure on a person’s shoulders and hips; a mattress that is too firm won’t allow these two critical points to sink, which leads to a feeling of heaviness and the usual stiff neck in the morning.
For side sleepers, we recommend either our Dream 1000 or Dream 2000 Pocket Sprung mattresses. Both feature individually pocketed springs for targeted support, wrapped with a luxurious mix of wool, silk, and cashmere for extra comfort.
Back Sleepers
Back sleepers generally find it easier to maintain spinal alignment, though support is still essential; however, if the bed is too soft, there is a risk that their hips will sink too deep, pulling the lower back out of its natural curve.
The best option for this is our Deluxe Orthopaedic Mattress. It is made with traditional coiled springs topped with a layer of memory foam, making it firm enough to provide strong lumbar support, yet soft enough that the mattress moulds perfectly to your body’s shape.
Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers (or front sleepers) deliberately put more strain on their lower back and neck; however, if it’s easier for you to sleep this way, then you’re going to need a very stable surface to make it work.
Luckily, our go-to Orthopaedic Mattress is the best mattress for front sleepers. It is similar to the Deluxe Orthopaedic Mattress, but the main difference is that it’s not topped with memory foam. This makes it firmer and more stable, enabling it to keep your spine aligned without having the rest of your body sink too much.
Combination Sleepers
You know you’re a combination sleeper if you start on your side and wake up on your back (or stomach). You need a mattress that’s able to respond quickly to your movements so you aren’t fighting with the mattress every time you shift positions.
You need a mattress that is soft, firm, and has an extra bounce—and our Deluxe Pillow Top Mattress does just that. It has soft memory foam at the top and a firm base, allowing it to remain stable while it adjusts to your sleeping positions throughout the night.
3 More Factors to Consider When Choosing the Best Sleeping Bed Mattress for You
#1, Firmness
The level of firmness you need depends on your weight, sleeping position, and personal preference. Here are the firmness levels of our beds for reference:
- Soft, best for side sleepers
- Medium-Firm, ideal for back and combination sleepers
- Firm, recommended for stomach sleepers
#2, Material
Our beds here at The Bed Village Yorkshire are made using three different materials, each unique and chosen to suit your specific sleeping style:
- Memory Foam, adapts to body shape and relieves pressure points
- Pocket Springs, offers independent support and reduces motion transfer
- Hybrid, a combination of foam and springs for balanced support.
#3, Temperature Regulation
You’ll want to invest in a breathable mattress that offers moisture-wicking properties; the best bed for this is our Dream 2000 Pocket Sprung Mattress, which has an organic wool and silk fill that ensures natural temperature regulation.
