Mattress Recommendation Needed – Side Sleeper Shoulder Pain + Back Sleeper Support (Couple)
My wife and I are planning to replace our current mattress and would really appreciate recommendations from people with similar sleep styles.
Current mattress:
- Peps spring mattress
- 8 inch thick
- marketed as “back support”
Problems we’re facing:
- Shoulder pain (especially for side sleeping)
- Tossing and turning throughout the night
- Motion transfer between partners
- Sleep quality has become poor overall
Sleep profiles:
- I mostly sleep on my back
- Wife is a side sleeper
- Wife also snores sometimes
Requirements:
- Strong support without feeling rock hard
- Good pressure relief for shoulders/hips
- Low motion transfer
- Durable for long-term use
- Medium-firm feel preferred
- Looking at custom size 77” x 76”
Mattresses currently shortlisted:
- Wakefit Ortho Infiniti Advanced (10 inch)
- Duropedic Airboost 3.8 Bionix Ice Pro (8 inch)
- Sleep Company Smart Ortho Pro
- Sunday Latex / Latex Hybrid (considering)
Questions:
- Is 8 inch thickness enough long term?
- Does latex perform better than memory foam for durability and comfort?
- Any long-term feedback on sagging/support retention?
- Which mattress worked best for side sleeper shoulder pain + back sleeper support combo?
- Anyone moved away from spring mattresses and noticed major improvement?
Would especially love feedback from:
- couples with different sleep styles
- side sleepers with shoulder pain
- people who toss/turn a lot
- anyone who has used these mattresses for 1+ years
Thanks in advance!
