If you are a side sleeper, there is no doubt that you are familiar with the aches and pains often connected with the wrong mattress.
While back sleepers can also experience aches and pains from a bad mattress, these signs are more common with the side sleepers.
Why? Because, as a side sleeper, you have less surface contact with the mattress, which puts more weight on your hips and back than it would if you were a back sleeper.
But don’t try to change your sleeping position just yet. Side sleeping is excellent for you.
