Are memory foam mattresses good for side sleepers? I'm a bed tester — here's my take

Curling up in a side sleeper position is one of the most popular ways to drift off (and it comes sleep expert approved as well). But if you're a side sleeper, should you opt for a memory foam mattress to sleep in this position?

There are multiple memory foam models in our guide to the best mattress of 2024 for all sleepers, and this material is best known for its deep pressure relief. As a sleep writer and mattress tester, I've had a chance to get my hands on a range of memory foam mattress, so I know just how good they can be for side sleepers — but I also know it isn't always the case.
