When finding the best mattress for your body type and sleep position, it’s important to understand the various comfort materials and support technologies that are in each model.
Recommendations For Different Sleep Positions
Identifying your sleep position is the most effective way to start narrowing down which type of mattress is best for you.
Side Sleeper
Side sleepers are more likely to experience hip, back, or neck pain if their mattress is too firm. If you sleep on your side, you should opt for a softer bed—one that will allow your hips & shoulders to sink into the cushion layers, easing painful pressure points.

Stomach Sleepers
Stomach sleepers need enough support to prevent their backs from arching when laying on their stomachs, but enough softness to minimize other pressure points. Medium and medium firm comfort levels are usually a great fit for stomach sleepers to provide both comfort and support for the spine.

Medium MattressesMedium Firm Mattresses
Back Sleepers
Back Sleepers are lucky because they can consider most mattress comfort options. We usually recommend the medium to medium firm comfort levels to allow for more noticeable back support, but if you are most comfortable on a super soft or firm mattress - go for it!

COMFORT LAYER MATERIALS
Comfort layers provide pressure relief while you rest. Different comfort materials provide a different feel, so it's important to test various types to find the best mattress for your sleep position and body type. Our mattresses feature three types of materials in our comfort layers:
1. High Density Foam
High Density Foam is the standard foam found in mattress comfort layers. Although it is quite comfortable, high-density foam doesn’t have the same “soft, indulgent feel” as memory foam or latex. The high-density foam we use in our mattresses is 50% more resilient than many of our competitors' foams.
2. Memory Foam
Memory foam is a comfort material that’s known for its body-conforming prowess. Memory foam provides premier pressure point relief and usually indicates a softer-feeling mattress, though some types of memory foam are less breathable than their high-density foam counterparts.
3. Latex
Latex is an all-natural comfort layer material that provides pressure point relief similar to memory foam, but with high resiliency and increased breathability. Latex and memory foam are both known for increasing softness in general, though latex has a “springier” feel that some prefer. We use premium, natural HeveaPUR latex in our Denver Mattress latex mattresses.
MATTRESS SUPPORT SYSTEMS
The primary feature that differentiates mattresses is the internal support system. A mattress’s support system distributes body weight and can help to keep your spine in neutral alignment. Our mattresses feature three types of support systems:
1. Innerspring
An innerspring coil unit is a traditional mattress support system which provides support through a network of coils that are directly connected to one another in order to deliver a unified sleeping surface.
2. Individual Coils
Individually-wrapped coil units feature coils which reside in their own fabric pockets instead of being directly attached to their neighbors. Because each coil can flex independently of its neighbor, individually-wrapped coils provide more conformity to the curves of your body, and they minimize motion transfer between partners.
3. Foam or Latex
Foam or latex cores are an alternative to innerspring and coil units. These mattresses are great for providing an indulgent sense of support and are the best at minimizing motion transfer, but they may not provide the same sense of firmness or breathability compared to innerspring support systems.
