Always Start with the Perfect Pillow
Before turning your attention toward mattress thickness, it's crucial to start your sleep setup with the perfect pillow. Your pillow plays a vital role in supporting your head, neck, and shoulders, aligning your spine, and ensuring optimal comfort.
When you start by picking the right pillow, you’ll be able to test mattresses in the position you sleep each night. This will help you determine what support and comfort you need for a good night's sleep.

Consider Comfort and Support
Once you've found the perfect pillow, it's time to focus on selecting the right mattress thickness. Comfort and support are paramount when choosing a mattress, and thickness plays a significant role in achieving both.
A thicker mattress often offers more cushioning and contouring, ideal for those seeking a plush feel or requiring additional support for pressure points. Check out the incredible Grether & Wells Magnificent. Conversely, a thinner mattress or mattress topper may provide firmer support, suitable for those preferring a more structured sleep surface.

Evaluate Your Sleeping Position
Your preferred sleeping position is another crucial factor to consider when determining mattress thickness. Side sleepers may benefit from a thicker mattress that cushions the shoulders and hips, promoting proper spinal alignment and alleviating pressure points.
Back and stomach sleepers, on the other hand, may find a medium-thick mattress to be supportive for maintaining a neutral spine position. For this level of support, try out one of the Sleep.8 Tech mattresses.
