Should you buy a memory foam mattress or a hybrid for side sleeping?

A person lies in a side sleeping position on a hybrid mattress (left) and a person lies in a side sleeping position on a memory foam mattress (right).

Do you sleep on your side? Then you need a mattress that relieves pressure around your hips and shoulders. But are memory foam or hybrid mattresses better for side sleepers?

Generally speaking, side sleepers need ample cushioning and plenty of support, so the best mattress for you is one that reduces pressure points, offers sink-in comfort, and cradles your shoulders, hips and knees when you're lying on your side all night.
