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?

I’m a side-sleeper and, rightly or wrongly, find softer mattresses very uncomfortable. Weight might be a factor though. I’ve been carrying too much of it for too long. On my way down, and it’ll be interesting to see if I feel different about my mattress once I’m at a more reasonable level.
