For many Canadians, sleeping on your side just feels natural. Whether you curl up in the fetal position or stretch into a classic log pose, side sleeping is one of the most common and healthiest sleep styles. But not every mattress supports it properly and that’s where Haven steps in. From our innovative natural foams to carefully balanced firmness levels, Haven mattresses are engineered to cradle your curves and relieve pressure points where it matters most.
In this post, we’ll explore:
-
Why side sleeping is so common (and beneficial)
-
The unique challenges side sleepers face
-
How Haven’s mattresses are thoughtfully designed to provide next-level support
-
Why real Canadians are switching to Haven for better side-sleeping comfort
Why Side Sleeping Is Canada’s Favourite Sleep Style
According to global sleep studies, over 60% of adults prefer sleeping on their side, and that number is even higher in Canada, where colder climates often encourage cozy curled-up postures.
Side sleeping comes with some compelling benefits:
-
Improved digestion and reduced acid reflux, especially when sleeping on your left side
-
Reduced snoring and better airflow
-
Spinal alignment, when the right mattress and pillow are used
But here’s the catch: if your mattress doesn’t properly support your hips, shoulders, and spine, side sleeping can lead to pain and discomfort.
Common Side Sleeper Struggles
Without the right mattress, side sleepers may experience:
-
Hip and shoulder pressure
-
Numb arms or legs from poor weight distribution
-
Spine misalignment, leading to back or neck pain
-
Tossing and turning, trying to find the right spot
What side sleepers truly need is a mattress that contours to the body while maintaining stability beneath it.
How Haven Mattresses Cradle Every Curve
At Haven Sleep Co., we believe in building mattresses that honour the natural way you sleep. That’s why so many of our customers — especially side sleepers — swear by our supportive-yet-plush mattress designs.
Here’s how Haven stands apart:
🌿 Natural, Pressure-Relieving Comfort Layers
We use plant-based CertiPUR-US® certified foam that adapts to your shape without trapping heat. It’s soft where you need it (shoulders, hips) and firm where you don’t (lower back).
💤 Zoned Support for Perfect Alignment
Mattresses like the LUX Hybrid Pillowtop and Rejuvenate All-Foam feature zoned lumbar support, meaning the mattress is firmer in the middle and softer at the ends a side sleeper’s dream.
🔄 Minimal Motion Transfer
Thanks to motion-isolating foam and pocket coil systems, you won’t be jostled awake by a partner shifting through the night.
❄️ Cool, Clean Sleep All Night
With cooling covers and breathable layers, Haven mattresses help regulate temperature — a key feature for side sleepers who curl up and retain heat.
