Do you prefer a particular sleeping position? Probably your answer is yes. Simply, each person has their own specific habits when it comes to sleeping. For example, some prefer to sleep in pajamas, while others prefer to sleep naked (74% vs. 8%). When it comes to certain sleeping positions, people most often sleep on their stomach, back, or side. If we express this in the percentages that are the results of one study, as many as 16% of people sleep on their stomachs, 10% on their backs while 74% of people who participated in the study sleep on their side, which is convincingly a favorite sleeping position among the population.
However, the fact is that few people sleep peacefully throughout the night and do not move at all. A much more common situation is one in which we change position during the night depending on which provides more comfort. Speaking of comfort, the results showed that most people are “side sleepers”. Still, although this position is comfortable for you, why not make it even more comfortable.
Namely, the beds and mattresses that are included are often not suitable for sleeping on the side. A suitable mattress allows even weight distribution of your body. However, although such products exist, they are often quite expensive. With that being said, this option has been crossed out and eliminated.
A more budget-friendly, but at the same time, a very comfortable solution is to buy a mattress topper. Below we have selected certain products that can do the same as mattresses for side sleepers and which will primarily bring you extra comfort, softness and better weight distribution while you sleep and thus reduce the pressure on critical points of your body (neck, shoulders, hips, etc.) So, if you’re ready, let’s get started.
1. Dual Layer Mattress Topper by Sleep Innovations

Before we say anything about this particular product, we must emphasize that all the products on our list are made of premium materials that do not cause allergies, but provide freshness, comfort, and a feeling of relaxation when you wake up.
When it comes to this two-layer mattress topper, it is manufactured by Sleep Innovations. As for the materials used in the production, the combination of gel-infused memory foam, as well as quilted fiberfill in the thickness of 4 inches, is there for extra comfort and peace of mind during sleep.
Thanks to the mentioned materials, this mattress topper completely adapts to your body and provides proper support. Another thing we like is the washable cover. Speaking of maintenance, it is very important that you turn the mattress to the other side from time to time so that no dents are created. Also, our advice is to leave the mattress in the air for a few days after purchase to eliminate the smell specific to new products. We almost forgot to mention the 10-year warranty period.
2. Ventilated Gel Memory Foam Mattress Topper by LUCID

Memory foam is quite popular these days as a solution for a more comfortable sleep. Therefore, this ventilated gel memory foam mattress topper by LUCID is an excellent, but also a very budget-friendly solution. This comes in a 3-inch thickness, and with a slightly smaller 3-year warranty.
It is made entirely of memory foam (all three inches), which means that this mattress topper is designed primarily with comfort and softness in mind. Indeed, after the very first sleep on this topper, you will notice that the thing is completely different compared to the experience of sleeping on your old bed.
We must also mention that this mattress topper is designed to relieve you of pressure on key points of the body and allow for better rest. Since memory foam is one of the favorite solutions these days, we must mention its characteristic that it provides a pleasant sleeping environment, without increased heat and sweating.
Finally, we must tell you that this should not be your first choice if you have a slightly higher weight, primarily because this mattress topper is very soft and light, so you can sink.
3. Ultra-Premium Visco Elastic Memory Foam Mattress Pad Bed Topper by Red Nomad

If you have ever slept with someone, there is no doubt that you know that motion transfer can often happen if your partner moves during sleep. This can be irritating if you are desperately trying to sleep and get proper rest. Fortunately, there are high-quality solutions on the market, and one of them is this mattress topper by Red Nomad.
In addition to being excellent in the above-mentioned situations, this topper is very comfortable and provides adequate support for key pressure points. Also, we would especially like to point out Visco elastic memory foam which enables excellent temperature management so that you will sleep carefree and without sweating.
The things we didn’t like too much were the somewhat longer need to ventilate and eliminate unpleasant odors due to the fact that the product is new and that the memory foam has a specific odor. Also, one part of the users found a complaint due to the weight of the mattress topper, and therefore more difficult to handle. Also, the length of the warranty you receive is for a period of 10 years.
4. Adjustable Padded Mattress Protector Extra Soft by Exceptional Sheets

Last but not least the mattress topper is this one by Exceptional Sheets. If you have a problem with pain in the back, shoulders, neck, etc., then this is the right product for you. It is made of polyester fiberfill that provides perfect comfort while sleeping on the side.
Thanks to the fiber core, this mattress topper provides hypoallergenic properties, which means that you will not have problems with allergens and bacteria.
The things we also liked were the availability of several different sizes, the appropriate support for each pressure point, but also a 100% money-back guarantee. If in any case, you are dissatisfied with this product, you can return it without any problems. The only drawback we would point out is the somewhat more difficult maintenance (cleaning) due to this kind of construction. All in all, this mattress topper is a great thing for anyone who wants a new sleep experience and adequate rest.
