A big piece of the finding-the-right-mattress puzzle is knowing your sleep style. The right mattress will depend on whether you’re a side, stomach, or back sleeper — or a mix of all three.
Regardless of how you sleep, the best mattress will contour to your body to keep your spine aligned.
For side sleepers, plush is a good place to start. It will allow your shoulders and hips to sink in, alleviating pressure while keeping your spine straight.
For back sleepers, memory foam mattresses get rave reviews.
Innerspring and hybrids, with more of a “bounce” do well for those who prefer to sleep on their stomach.
But in the end, what comfortable means is unique to you.
