Exclusive Comfort: Why Haven is the Leader in Side Sleeper Mattress Innovation

Aug 22, 2025by Chris Silva

If you’re a side sleeper, you know the struggle. You curl up on your side hoping for restful sleep, only to wake up with numb arms, shoulder pain, or aching hips. It’s not you it’s your mattress.

At Haven Sleep Co., we believe no one should have to compromise on comfort, especially the 74% of Canadians who sleep on their sides. That’s why we’ve poured years of innovation, testing, and Canadian craftsmanship into creating the best side sleeper mattresses in the country.

Here’s how Haven is redefining sleep for side sleepers and why our customers keep coming back for more.

1. Side Sleeper Science: We Get the Pressure Points

Sleeping on your side concentrates weight on a few key areas: shoulders, hips, and knees. Most traditional mattresses either feel too firm (causing joint pressure) or too soft (leading to spinal misalignment). Haven’s sleep engineers, backed by expert chiropractors and our Innovation Centre, designed a better way forward.

Our proprietary multi-zone support systems are precision-calibrated to give where you need cushioning and support where you need alignment. That means softer comfort around the shoulders and hips, and firmer support for the lower back and spine.

2. Talalay Latex: The Natural Advantage for Side Sleepers

Haven uses Talalay latex, a premium, breathable, and hypoallergenic material that contours gently to your curves. Unlike memory foam that traps heat and compresses over time, Talalay is buoyant, durable, and airy making it ideal for side sleepers who want pressure relief without sinking.

Better yet? Our latex is sustainably sourced and CertiPUR-US® certified, free from harmful chemicals and off-gassing.

3. Zoned Lumbar Support in Every Model

Side sleepers often struggle with back tension caused by misalignment. That’s why Haven’s top-selling models like the LUX Rejuvenate and LUX Pillowtop Hybrid feature zoned lumbar support that reinforces the middle third of the mattress.

By maintaining the natural curve of your spine and preventing hip dip, our mattresses reduce tossing and turning, help align your posture, and promote deeper REM sleep.

4. Side Edge Sitting & Sleep Surface No More “Roll Off”

Many side sleepers shift positions or sleep close to the edge of the bed. That’s why Haven incorporates firm edge support foam and triple-coil hybrids that reinforce the perimeter. Sit comfortably. Sleep securely. No sagging. No slipping. All supportive.

5. Made Fresh in Canada, Backed by Chiropractors

Unlike mass-produced imports, every Haven mattress is made-to-order in our Canadian facilities using locally sourced, plant-based foams and artisan-level care. We partner with chiropractic experts to ensure our designs support spinal health—something especially important for side sleepers who need alignment without stiffness.

6. Built for Couples, Approved by Side Sleepers

Side sleeping can become a battle when your partner has different sleep preferences. That’s why Haven’s dual-comfort and hybrid options offer a responsive surface that adapts to both sleepers. Motion-isolating coils ensure your sleep isn’t interrupted by movement, and cooling layers help regulate temperature for both partners.

7. Canadian Comfort, Socially Conscious

Every Haven mattress comes with a side of social good. Through our partnership with Mamas for Mamas, every mattress purchase helps provide sleep to families in need. We also offer Second Slumber, Canada’s first open-box resale program, reducing waste and giving returned mattresses a second life.

The Verdict: Your Best Night’s Sleep Starts on Your Side

If you’re a side sleeper, you shouldn’t have to settle. With Haven’s purpose-built side sleeper innovations from Talalay latex and zoned support to edge-to-edge comfort—you get more than just a mattress. You get the freedom to fall asleep faster, stay asleep longer, and wake up feeling like yourself again.
