Latex mattresses for side sleepers provide plenty of bounce and cooling, while offering less sink than memory foam – perfect for combination sleepers, those prone to overheating, and those suffering from back or neck pain.
This medium firm mattress offers great support in keeping the spine aligned, helping prevent lumbar pain and isolating motion while offering excellent edge support.
WinkBeds Eco Cloud
WinkBeds Eco Cloud is an eco-friendly latex hybrid mattress handcrafted in the US using carefully selected materials. Combining Talalay latex with durable steel coils to deliver an antimicrobial surface and contoured sleep surface that offers plenty of bounce – this mattress has a medium firmness level (5-star).
The EcoCloud mattress features a quilted cover crafted from organic cotton and New Zealand wool for maximum moisture-wicking ability, helping keep the bed cool by reducing heat retention. In addition, zoned pocketed coils help support heavy parts of your body while providing additional pressure relief in hip and shoulder regions.
Though this mattress may be suitable for side sleepers, it doesn’t offer sufficient spinal support to satisfy strict back sleepers. Heavy back sleepers may find more relief by selecting a firmer mattress instead.
EcoCloud mattress will offer light back and stomach sleepers great pressure relief, but may feel too firm for moderately-weight side sleepers who would rather sink more at their hips and shoulders.
Couples looking for an EcoCloud mattress will appreciate its responsive feel and strong edge support, which help maintain an uninterrupted sleeping surface even when partners move about at night. Furthermore, its construction aims to minimize noise such as creaks and squeaks; although initial off-gassing might occur when unboxing.
The EcoCloud’s hybrid mattress provides good motion isolation, though not as effective as all-foam models at reducing vibrations from partner movements. Nonetheless, due to the resilient Talalay latex and pocketed coils making up this mattress it remains relatively silent overall.
This hybrid mattress provides excellent value for the money, especially considering its all-natural components and premium materials. However, since latex makes up part of its comfort layer it will cost more than mattresses with only foam comfort layers; queen-sized Winkbeds Eco Cloud costs approximately $2,000. This puts it within range of premium brands like Avocado Birch Saatva.
Zenhaven
Saatva’s Zenhaven mattress is an excellent option for side sleepers looking for responsive yet durable beds. The quilted top adds another layer of comfort, while its 3″ Dunlop latex core keeps your spine aligned and distributes pressure evenly across your body – while also offering some bounce so you don’t feel as though you are sinking into your mattress. Saatva also uses high-density foam rails around its edges to avoid sagging over time.
This mattress offers two firmness options – Luxury Plush and Gentle Firm. Lightweight sleepers may prefer the hug-like comfort of Luxury Plush side while average weight sleepers will appreciate how well it cradles hips and shoulders. On the other hand, heavyweight sleepers may find Gentle Firm too hard.
If you suffer from latex allergies, the mattress may not be ideal. Its natural Talalay latex contains no proteins from rubber trees that could trigger allergic reactions; and is certified organic by Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), and thus free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Zenhaven mattresses are also an excellent option for people with latex allergies due to their excellent breathability. Their organic cotton and wool covers allow airflow freely while the zoned latex layers include holes that further promote ventilation.
As the Zenhaven is made from latex, it does not retain heat as effectively as memory foam mattresses do, making it more suitable for people who tend to get hot at night or experience hot flashes during sleep. Furthermore, latex offers superior motion isolation than memory foam does by better absorbing movement.
The Zenhaven mattress’s only real flaw is that it doesn’t isolate motion as effectively as an innerspring mattress; however, this should only affect minor sleepers. Furthermore, this mattress is quite costly, though if you’re willing to spend more there are numerous high-quality alternatives with similar qualities for less money.
Awara Premier Latex Hybrid
Awara mattresses provide luxurious sleep while supporting environmental sustainability. Constructed from all-natural, organic materials and planted ten trees for every purchase made, you can add optional extras such as pillows or mattress protectors at additional costs.
The Awara Premier mattress is a 12-inch mattress constructed with four inches of Rainforest Alliance certified Dunlop latex foam and eight inches of premium coil support, creating a pleasant combination of contouring and bounce for an overall enjoyable experience. Its plush Euro top features organic cotton and New Zealand wool materials to help regulate body temperature while keeping dust mites out.
This mattress is suitable for back and side sleepers alike. The Awara’s latex cushions the spine while its coil system promotes healthy spinal alignment; heavy back sleepers may find that its latex compresses too quickly and puts pressure on their hips and shoulders; light side sleepers, however, will appreciate its ample conforming pressure relief throughout the night.
As with other hybrid mattresses, this bed offers a firmer feel than full latex ones and may produce some latex scent upon first unrolling the mattress – this typically dissipates within two days after unfurling.
As an added perk, this mattress comes vacuum-sealed in thick plastic bags for shipping and easy transport. Once it arrives at its destination, reassembling this mattress takes just moments with four strong stitched handles to help carry and move.
This mattress comes backed with an industry-rare forever warranty and free shipping to continental United States addresses; white-glove delivery may incur an additional fee. Plus, there’s a generous 365-night trial period and returns are free if it doesn’t meet your standards!
PlushBeds Luxury Bliss
The Luxury Bliss is an organic hybrid latex mattress constructed with both organic cotton and natural latex, plus features such as a Fiberglass-Free Eco Fire Barrier, organic cotton cover and Organic Arpico Latex Support core. Available in medium and medium-firm settings. Better suited to back and stomach sleepers but still comfortable for side sleepers weighing under 230 pounds.
Unlike many traditional memory foam mattresses, the Luxury Bliss uses latex in its comfort layer, making it suitable for any sleep position. Latex conforms to your body’s natural curves to promote proper spinal alignment and relieve pressure points while remaining breathable enough for heat dissipation for a cool and restful slumber.
A standard 8-inch pocketed coil support core gives this mattress structure and stability, providing even weight distribution across its entirety. Each individual coil is individually wrapped to increase durability and ensure proper weight distribution; making this mattress ideal for back, stomach, side and full-on sleepers as well as heavy individuals (up to 300 pounds) without sagging or bowing out of shape.
As with other PlushBeds mattresses, the Luxury Bliss mattress is eco-friendly. Crafted using natural materials like organic cotton and wool, its wool acts as both fire retardant and an antimicrobial and hypoallergenic property which makes it suitable for people suffering from chemical sensitivities or allergies.
This mattress is an excellent option for side sleepers as it provides excellent motion isolation. The latex responds quickly, decreasing your chance of sensing partner movements during the night. Furthermore, its individually wrapped coils further minimize movement transference for uninterrupted restful slumber.
The Luxury Bliss mattress is an exceptional long-term investment, as its combination of organic cotton, wool, and latex materials provides stain- and odor-resistance as well as easy care – regular rotation can increase its lifespan even further!
