Fussy Side Sleeper? Meet Your Match: Haven's Comfort-Engineered Mattresses

by Chris Silva

If you’re a side sleeper who struggles to find that just-right mattress, you’re not alone. Side sleeping is the most popular sleep position in Canada but it can also be the hardest to support properly. From hip pressure to shoulder pain and spinal misalignment, the wrong mattress can make your nights restless and your mornings achy.

At Haven Sleep Co., we understand that not all sleepers are created equal. That’s why we’ve engineered our mattresses with side sleepers in mind so you can finally stop tossing, turning, and waking up sore.

Why Side Sleepers Need Specialized Support

Side sleepers face a unique set of challenges when it comes to comfort and spinal health:

  • Pressure Points: The hips and shoulders bear the brunt of your body weight, often leading to discomfort without the right cushioning.

  • Spinal Alignment: Without the proper support, your spine can curve unnaturally, leading to back pain or restless sleep.

  • Circulation Issues: Too-firm mattresses can compress nerves and reduce blood flow, leading to numb arms or legs.

That’s where Haven comes in.

Haven’s Comfort-Engineered Solution for Side Sleepers

At Haven, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all sleep. Our mattress lineup is built to cradle your curves, cushion your joints, and align your spine all while maintaining the luxurious, made-in-Canada quality you expect.

Here’s what makes Haven a side sleeper’s dream:

🌿 Natural Latex Zoned Support

Our top-tier models like the LUX Rejuvenate and LUX Pillowtop Hybrid feature Talalay natural latex, engineered with zoned support to relieve pressure at the hips and shoulders while gently supporting your midsection and spine.

This means:

  • Softer comfort under the shoulders

  • Firmer support under the lower back

  • Zero motion transfer for couples who sleep differently

🌱 Plant-Based Foams, Made in Canada

We use CertiPUR-US® certified, eco-conscious foams made with soy-based oils—safer for your body and the planet. These foams contour to your body without overheating or feeling “stuck,” like traditional memory foam can.

🌬️ Cool Sleep Technology

Many side sleepers sleep hot. That’s why we offer CoolSleep™ covers and ice-infused foam options to wick away heat and keep you comfortable through the night.

🛏️ Perfect Medium-Firm Comfort Level

Our mattresses are available in medium plush and medium firm feels both ideal for side sleepers. Not too soft to sink, not too hard to press back just the right balance to cradle and support.

🧠 Designed with Chiropractors and Sleep Experts

Haven mattresses are backed by Canadian health professionals who understand body biomechanics. Side sleepers need a responsive surface that relieves pressure without sacrificing spinal integrity and that’s exactly what Haven delivers.
