When it comes to getting better sleep, most people focus on bedtime routines, blue light, and cutting back on caffeine. But there’s one thing that matters just as much—if not more: your mattress.

And not just any mattress—the right mattress for the way you sleep.

At Godwin’s Mattress 1st Superstore, we believe better sleep starts with understanding your personal sleep style. Whether you’re a side sleeper, back sleeper, stomach sleeper, or a little bit of everything, your ideal mattress will support your body in a way that matches how you rest.

Here’s how to figure out your sleep style—and how to find the perfect mattress to match it.

 

Step 1: Know Your Sleep Style

Let’s start with the basics. How do you usually sleep?

-Side Sleeper

This is the most common sleep position—and it puts a lot of pressure on your shoulders and hips. Side sleepers typically need a softer mattress that cushions pressure points while keeping your spine aligned.

Look for:

-Ultra Plush or Plush comfort levels

-Foam or hybrid mattresses for contouring

-Back Sleeper

Back sleepers need a balance of support and comfort. A mattress that’s too soft can cause your hips to sink, while one that’s too firm might not support your lower back.

Look for:

-Cushion Firm or Firm options

-Innerspring or hybrid mattresses with zoned support

-Stomach Sleeper

Sleeping on your stomach can strain your neck and lower back, so the right mattress is crucial. You’ll want something firm enough to keep your hips from dipping too low.

Look for:

-Firm mattresses with minimal sinkage

-Innerspring or pocketed coil options

-Combination Sleeper

Tossing and turning? You’re not alone. Combo sleepers need a mattress that supports multiple positions without feeling too soft or too stiff.

Look for:

-Medium (Cushion Firm) options with responsive materials

-Hybrid mattresses that offer both support and pressure relief

Step 2: Try the Support Report™ at Godwin’s

Even if you know your sleep style, choosing the right mattress still isn’t always easy. That’s why we offer our revolutionary Support Report™ at every Godwin’s Mattress 1st Superstore.

This pressure-mapping technology takes the guesswork out of mattress shopping. It scans your body and identifies key pressure points, helping you pinpoint exactly what type of support you need.

From there, we’ll help you discover your personalized Cloud Level—ranging from Ultra Plush to Firm—so you can find the mattress that feels tailor-made just for you.

And yes—it’s free.

Step 3: Don’t Forget the Extras

A great mattress is just the beginning. To get the most out of your sleep, consider upgrading the rest of your sleep setup too. We offer:

-Adjustable bases for customized comfort

-Pillows and mattress protectors to keep your sleep surface fresh
