I’ve spent three years testing every major mattress for side sleepers and there’s only 3 I’d consider buying in the Labor Day sales — starting from $399 for a queen
I’ve helped review some of the most comfortable mattresses for side sleepers from every major brand over the past three years and there’s only three beds I’d consider buying in the Labor Day sales.
As Labor Day sales roll out, a handful of mattresses tailored for side sleepers stand out at competitive prices. After carefully testing various options, three mattresses emerge as top picks: SweetNight CoolNest, Nectar Premier Memory Foam, and Helix Midnight Luxe.
First, the SweetNight CoolNest Memory Foam Mattress, priced at $399.99 for a queen-sized bed. Constructed with five layers of foam and measuring 12 inches in height, this mattress offers ample support for side sleepers. The top layer features heat dissipating PCM materials, ensuring a cool night's sleep. Side and back sleepers, as well as couples, will appreciate the mattress's pressure-relieving capabilities, particularly around the shoulders, hips, and knees.
A side sleeper in our testing found the mattress to be both comfortable and supportive, making it an excellent choice for those with a tighter budget.
Next, the Nectar Premier Memory Foam Mattress, priced at $999 for a queen-sized bed. Known for its indulgent feel and full-body cradling, this mattress is a popular option among side sleepers. Its top memory foam layers contour to your shoulders, hips, and knees, relieving pressure while still providing support for back sleepers.
With a sturdy base layer of dense foams, the Premier prevents either you or your partner from sinking too deeply into the mattress. The Nectar Premier is an excellent pick for those willing to invest more for superior comfort.
Finally, the Helix Midnight Luxe Hybrid Mattress, priced at $1,874 for a queen-sized bed. This hybrid mattress combines memory foam and innerspring coils, offering a balanced firmness level of 6. With a height of 13.5 inches, the Midnight Luxe supports side sleepers while alleviating pressure points. The combination of memory foam and coil support ensures a comfortable sleep experience for those who also suffer from back pain.
While this option may require a larger budget, the Helix Midnight Luxe is well-suited for those who want a mattress with both plush cushioning and robust support.
