While I’ve been on the hunt for a new mattress (soft, as I’m a hypermobile side sleeper and medium to firm mattresses make me bruise and sublux) I’ve learnt a few things: side sleeping is the most common sleeping position, while medium-firm is the most popular mattress firmness. Softer mattresses are much harder to come by. However, soft mattresses are also supposedly the best for side-sleepers while medium-firm is for back sleepers and firm is for stomach sleepers, so how does this work together? Are most people sleeping on the wrong mattress?

Honestly, mattress marketing mostly just caters to the middle ground. Easier to sell a medium-firm mattress that can “work” for everyone than a super soft one that’s more niche. Plus, some folks just don’t know what they need until they try it and realize they’re waking up in more pain. Quite a racket, really.
