According to our recent surveys, the most common position that Australians sleep in is on their side. Understandably, one of the most common questions that we receive is what is the best mattress for side sleepers?
If you’re a side sleeper, you need a nice amount of pressure relief through their shoulders, hips, and pelvis. And of course, you need proper support to maintain a healthy body position. Well, Bedbuyer has just released ‘Australia’s Best Mattress for Side Sleepers’ list. Enjoy!

What about Tempur mattresses? Yes
Hi Jennifer,
We have tested / reviewed many Tempur mattresses – you can search ‘Tempur’ in our search bar to browse our reviews.
Some Tempur mattresses would be suitable for side sleepers, but based on our full market assessment, we found the mattresses listed here the best options overall for side sleepers.
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.

Hi,
My wife and I are both side sleepers, I’m about 90kg and she is around 60kg. We are looking between Sherman and Macoda mattress But Emma is catching our attention as well with its value for money. Could you advice?
Hi Billy,
The Macoda Mattress and Sherman Mattress (Just Perfect) would definitely be good options to consider. The Emma Mattress is a bit firmer so we would lean towards the other two options.
Hope that helps but let us know if you’d like to discuss further.

Where would you rank koala mattress an “one bed”?
Hi Rob,

We didn’t rate them as well as some others for side sleepers but happy to discuss further if you need.

What about ecosa sleep they claim their mattress is better and has a cooling effect better then sleeping ducks standard memory foam. Can you do a video youtube review please?.
Hi Lovele,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer!
We have conducted a thorough review of the Ecosa Mattress – our review is linked here. We haven’t produced a video review as yet, but our written review is quite comprehensive.
We found the Ecosa Mattress quite firm and may be a bit hard for some side sleepers. Sleep temperature can be complex (with many factors involved) but we generally find that a spring mattress like Sleeping Duck would be better for ‘cooling’ as they allow for better ventilation.
Keep in mind that there is over 120 mattress in a box products on the market. You can view our top 10 in 2020 on this link here.
Hope that helps but please don’t hesitate if you have any further queries.

Hi. Are there any good soft medium mattresses for side sleepers under 600?
Thanks for your tests.
Hi Val,
Thanks for visiting Bedbuyer!
Assuming that you’re after a queen size mattress, the Deep Dream Premium Mattress would be your best bet ($499). You can read our review here or go straight to their shop page here.
Hope that helps but let us know if you would like to discuss further!

Hi, just sent an email re the dorinca spinecomfort silver – have you reviewed this? Looking for Double that wont sag and has support for mainly back but need room for shoulders also. Weigh 74 kg and sleep alone.
Thanks
Hi Valda,
Unfortunately we haven’t tested any mattresses from Dorinca. I just had a quick look at the SpineComfort Silver Label Mattress on their website but it’s hard to comment on it without testing it.
One option that we would recommend (that’s in a similar price range) is the Naptime Mattress. Comfortable, supportive, and Australian made. (Double size $584.10). You can see our full review (includes video review and discount code) on this link here.
Hope that helps but please let us know if you would like to discuss further.

Hi Bedbuyer – I’m a side sleeper and looking for a nice firm – medium firm mattress. I use to have a King Koil mattress for 10 yrs which was really good, then I went to a Sealy which I’m struggling with atm. I weigh 105kgs so want something comfortable to get a good nights sleep. Can you recommend what’s a good mattress to get please.
Hi Vonni,
If you’re after a nice firm (or medium-firm) mattress, the Sleep Republic Mattress is a beauty – our full review is linked here.
Alternatively, the Silent Night Onyx (medium) is excellent too – our full review is linked here.
Have a look at those and please let us know if you have any queries!

How does the domino deluxe (medium) compare to these? We have that and need to decide whether an upgrade is worthwhile…
Hi Deb,
We have tested many A.H.Beard mattresses but unfortunately haven’t tested the Domino Deluxe (Medium). Are you referring to this one here?
We haven’t found A.H. Beard mattresses to be particularly durable, and we discuss this in our assessment of all the major mattress brands – article linked here.
If you let us know your location (state/suburb), what size mattress, and a rough budget, we would be happy to recommend a few good options for you.
Look forward to hearing from you!

Hi there,
Between the Sherman Full Body Hug and the Silent Night London Plush Mattress, which would you say is more comfortable to sleep on? Not taking into consideration price/value for money etc.
Thank you!
Hi Dara,
Both of these mattresses are very comfortable so it’s hard to split them. If we had to choose, we would lean towards the Silent Night London as it feels a little more ‘cloud like’ but worth trying it out in-store if you can (mention Bedbuyer to claim our special pricing). The full list of Beds n Dreams stores is linked here.
Hope that helps but please let us know if you have any further queries.
