A sleep survey of nearly 4,000 adults found that nearly three out of four (74%) sleep on their side. You’d think, then, that it would be easy to find a non-toxic, eco-friendly mattress for side sleepers. Not necessarily!
Many mattresses offer too little support, especially for full-grown adults, or are too firm to be comfortable. And most mattresses are decidedly not eco-friendly and non-toxic, even if they offer the right kind of pressure relief for side-sleepers.
Here, we offer our top picks for the best truly non-toxic and eco-friendly mattresses for side-sleepers, including heavier adults, folks with back pain and joint pain, and anyone whose sleep partner has a different sleep style.
Side-sleepers tend to get the most comfortable sleep on a medium or softer mattress with good underlying support at the hips and shoulders. This usually means choosing a mattress of at least 9-inches depth (ideally 12-inches or more) with zoned support from innerspring coils or latex.
Our top picks

Highlights: A great choice for side-sleepers of any weight (12-inch only). Dual-firmness options are available for side-sleepers with a partner who sleeps on their stomach or back.

It’s very good. As a side sleeper who also needs a lot of back support, I can be a tough customer. I don’t wake up in pain anymore, and that is huge!
Trudy T., 2023
Much more comfortable than an inner spring. I like that I don’t “sink” into it like a foam mattress. Easy to shift positions. I’m a side sleeper and got the medium firmness for my side and hubby got firm for his (he’s a stomach sleeper). So happy we took a chance and got this bed.
Bryan D., 2024
The PlushBeds Botanical Bliss is a great choice of non-toxic, eco-friendly mattress for side-sleepers. Available in medium and medium-firm, this mattress provides a soft sleep surface for pressure relief and excellent underlying support to maintain spinal alignment. We recommend the 10-inch or 12-inch models for heavier or taller adults, while the 9-inch will also suit smaller or lighter adults and children.
PlushBeds makes this mattress in the U.S. to order. It has a GOTS/GOLS certified factory and the mattress is GreenGuard Gold and Eco Institut certified, featuring only organic latex, organic wool, and organic cotton.
What’s in the Plushbeds Botanical Bliss?
The Botanical Bliss is an all-latex mattress featuring, from top to bottom:
- A zippered GOTS certified organic cotton cover in circular knit for added pressure relief
- A layer of British organic (GOTS) wool as a natural flame barrier
- Another layer of GOTS organic cotton to prevent the wool from bunching
- Two or three comfort layers made of Talalay and Arpico latex.
The Botanical Bliss is available in a 9-inch, 10-inch, and 12-inch design. All three feature a 2-inch or 3-inch layer of Talalay latex plus a 6-inch Arpico latex core. The 12-inch mattress features an additional 3-inch layer of Arpico latex for greater support in the lumbar region (lower back).
As a rough guide, the three Botanical Bliss mattresses are intended for the following weights:
- 9-inch – adults weighing up to 225 lb.
- 10-inch – adults weighing up to 250 lb.
- 12-inch – adults weighing 275 lb. or more.
There is no synthetic foam, chemical flame retardant, polyester, nylon, or other synthetic or toxic materials in this mattress.
How it performs
For side-sleepers weighing 130 lb. or less, the medium Botanical Bliss is soft enough to sink into but supportive enough to keep your spine aligned. Lighter side-sleepers will likely find the medium-firm Botanical Bliss too firm to be comfortable.
For adults weighing more than 130 lb., the medium-firm Botanical Bliss maintains that soft and comfortable upper sleep surface but provides more underlying support for proper spinal alignment. Adults weighing more than 230 lb. will likely find the medium too soft to be supportive if they sleep on their side.
PlushBeds uses Talalay latex in the top layer of this mattress to provide a breathable, softer, more responsive sleep surface. For side-sleepers, this means your hips and shoulders sink in just enough to help your whole body relax.
Unlike with memory foam, you sleep ‘on’ the Botanical Bliss mattress rather than ‘in’ it. It doesn’t trap you in a hot and sweaty synthetic hollow, and you can easily move and turn to stay comfortable. If you like the cushioning of a memory foam mattress but often wake up with aches and pains, the Botanical Bliss is likely to be a revelation. This mattress supports natural movement and restorative, comfortable sleep, meaning no morning aches and pains.
Because PlushBeds makes this latex mattress in a layered and zippered design, you can move the layers around to adjust the firmness to your liking. You can also switch out layers using PlushBeds’ Comfort Exchange program and 100 Night Comfort Guarantee. This makes for a much more eco-friendly mattress trial than returning an entire latex mattress!
Savvy Rest Serenity Spring

The Savvy Rest Serenity Spring mattress offers incredible customization. Side-sleepers can choose the firmness of the core coil unit and the latex layer, something not available for most hybrid mattresses. Thanks to the home-assembly design, you can also reconfigure the mattress as needed, making this a sustainable, flexible choice.
What’s in it?
The Serenity Spring comprises:
- GOTS-certified organic cotton cover
- GOTS-certified organic wool batting, quilted to prevent bunching
- 3-inch layer of Talalay or Dunlop latex in soft, medium, or firm, customizable on both sides
- 8-inch pocket coil layer, customizable in firm or plush and on both sides.
Savvy Rest makes the coil units in-house, wrapping each recycled steel coil in PLA (a plant-derived polymer), then heat-sealing the unit together for stability.
The Serenity Spring contains no glues, adhesives, chemical flame retardants or other synthetic chemicals. All of the Dunlop latex is GOLS, the Talalay latex is Cradle to Cradle Gold, and the wool and cotton are GOTS. And the whole mattress is made in the U.S. in Savvy Rest’s GOTS factory.
How it performs
Side-sleepers require a good degree of pressure point relief with robust underlying support. This is why hybrid latex mattresses are often a good choice if they get the balance right, don’t bottom out, and don’t allow the spine to go out of alignment.
Happily, the Serenity Spring is a great fit for most side-sleepers, including those who are lighter and heavier. Lighter side-sleepers may enjoy a plush coil unit and soft latex comfort layer. A heavier side-sleeper may prefer the plush coils with medium or firm latex or a firmer coil unit with soft or medium latex.
Side-sleepers who sleep hot will enjoy the impressive breathability of the Serenity Spring, thanks to those pocket coils, wool layer, and airy latex. The pocket coils also help to provide inch-by-inch support and minimize motion transfer for less partner sleep disruption.

I tend to sleep hot and my husband normal – and it’s the perfect temperature for both of us. I am a smaller than average an athlete and a side sleeper. I prefer a medium support my husband is heavier and prefers a firmer. We chose the pillow top to add a touch more softness to the medium firm mattress and it is perfect for both of us.
Nancy B., 2018
Consumer Reports rated this as the best mattress for side sleepers. They didn’t explicitly say anything about it being good for big old fat guys, but you can kind of tell that’s what they were getting at. And they were right. I sleep great on my new Avocado Green.
Donald H., 2020
Without the pillow-top, the Avocado Green rates about 7/10 for firmness, likely uncomfortable for lighter and smaller adults and teens. Add the pillow-top, though, and the Avocado Green rates around 6/10 for firmness, which should suit most side-sleeping older children and lighter adults very well.
Note: Order two Twin XL mattresses to make a Split King mattress.
Avocado is an industry-leading sustainable B Corporation, is Climate Neutral certified (and carbon negative), and is Fair Trade certified. It is also a 1% for the Planet member and will soon have the world’s first certified zero-waste mattress factory. If you’re looking for a sustainable mattress for side-sleepers, the Avocado Green is it.
This mattress is also one of very few to be certified Made Safe, meaning it is free of any and all toxic chemicals that could harm you, your family, the folks making the mattress, and wildlife and ecosystems or any kind.
What’s in it?
The Avocado Green mattress is an innerspring and latex hybrid containing up to 1,418 pocket coils. The coils are individually wrapped so that they move independently to offer inch-by-inch support. On top of the innersprings is a layer of two inches of GOLS-certified organic latex, with another two inches in the attached pillowtop. There’s also a one-inch layer of latex in the base to make this mattress more durable and sturdy.
Avocado uses upcycled 16 gauge perimeter coils for reinforced edging, narrower 17 gauge coils in the middle of the mattress, and wider 14 gauge coils at the shoulder and hip.
The mattress has a natural flame barrier made of organic wool and is encased in an organic cotton cover. Avocado hand-tufts the mattress together, meaning there’s no glue anywhere in this mattress.
Avocado excels at transparency and traceability with ethical sourcing of materials and labor. As the most vertically integrated mattress company around, Avocado uses latex from its co-owned cooperative farms in India and Guatemala and sources its GOTS organic wool from its co-owned farmer’s society in India.
Materials include:
- GOTS organic wool-certified to the Responsible Wool Standard
- GOLS, FSC, Eco Institut, and Rainforest Alliance-certified organic Dunlop latex
- GOTS-certified cotton
- Upcycled steel coils
- Steel rings to hold the mattress together.
The Pillowtop for the Avocado Green comprises an additional two-inch layer of organic Dunlop latex (D65) with organic wool and organic cotton.
How it performs
The Avocado Green mattress with pillow-top offers added buoyancy and plushness with the firm undergirding of the zoned gentle-firm mattress below. This combination avoids the pitfalls of an overly soft mattress that can actually cause back pain and an overly firm mattress that just doesn’t feel comfortable.
With the pillowtop, the Avocado Green is well suited to most side-sleepers. It offers pressure relief, zoned back support, and the kind of sleep surface you can sink into without feeling trapped. Folks who’ll love the Avocado Green with pillowtop include athletes, lighter side-sleepers, and anyone who enjoys the instant comfort of memory foam but not the sweatiness or lack of real joint and spine support.
Without the pillowtop, the Avocado Green is likely too firm for most side-sleepers. However, if you weigh considerably more than 130 lb., are very tall, or prefer a firmer mattress overall, the Avocado Green might work for you.
The Avocado Green is a zoned hybrid latex mattress with individually wrapped pocket coils. The high coil count and carefully chosen wire gauge in different zones make for a sturdy, supportive core that is responsive to your sleep needs. Expect excellent edge support, full use of the entire mattress surface, and very little motion transfer.
Avocado also ships its mattresses for free in the contiguous U.S. and all shipping is carbon-neutral (using offsets maybe).

The most noticeable difference between the Naturepedic and my former mattress is that I slept coolly all night. As someone who tends to sleep hot, the company’s claim that the mattresses allow for air circulation appears to be true – or at least true in my experience. As primarily a side-sleeper, the firmness level and lumbar support seem just right. As a part-time stomach-sleeper as well, I had no issue.
Charlton, 2022
We love this mattress — the feel, the materials, and the buying experience were all awesome. However, for a “sustainable” brand, they ship these in a SHOCKING amount of heavy gauge plastic film. In most places, this film is not actually recyclable and goes straight to landfill. Each of the four internal components has 8-10 layers of plastic, which for a king-size bed added up to more plastic than we could possibly even fit in our outside garbage bin — and that’s not even including all of the cardboard, which at least could be recycled. It felt TERRIBLE throwing this all in the garbage when we bought this brand specially to avoid creating another high chunk of future plastic trash. In short, I’ve quite literally never bought a piece of furniture that generated so much plastic trash. I appreciate that it’s a challenge shipping mattresses, and the vacuum packaging is part of what allows this product to be shipped. But the latex components in particular were barely compressed by the pounds and pounds of plastic that they were shipped in — just seems unnecessary and screaming for improvement. Please try harder, Naturepedic! Your product deserves better.
Clay, 2022
Naturepedic is a family-owned business based in Ohio and specializes in making non-toxic, eco-friendly mattresses (including non-toxic crib mattresses).
Naturepedic’s bestselling mattress, the EOS (Ergonomic Organic Sleep), is fully customizable and can be rejigged after many years. You can also customize both sides to suit wildly different sleep needs for you and your sleep partner.
What’s in it?
The Naturepedic EOS comprises:
- GOTS-certified organic cotton quilt – cotton grown in the U.S.
- Organic wool batting plus polylactic acid (PLA) comfort layer made from non-GMO sugarcane (for moisture-wicking)
- 3-inch comfort layer of GOLS-certified organic latex
- 8-inch layer of individually wrapped steel coils
- Organic cotton batting
- Organic cotton cover with solid brass zipper.
Naturepedic makes its coil contour layer in-house using steel coils and no glues or adhesives. The coils are individually wrapped to provide inch-by-inch support and minimize motion transfer. The coil layer has full perimeter reinforcement for excellent edge support.
The Pillow-Top EOS has an attached compartment in the top cover where you slip in an extra comfort layer for added softness.
In sizes queen and up, the layers of the mattress are split, allowing customization of both sides.
Naturepedic also offers the EOS without wool (with extra cotton batting) for vegans and without the latex layers for anyone with a latex allergy. In the latter, the company switches out the latex for an additional 3-inch pocket coil unit. The latex-free version is not available in extra-firm. All three options cost the same price regardless of firmness.
How it performs
The Naturepedic EOS offers a lot of scope for customization. This means that its performance depends largely on how you configure your mattress. In general, though, the design of the EOS allows for full body-contouring comfort and stable underlying support for proper spinal alignment. The plush and medium options are also excellent for isolating motion to minimize sleep disturbance.
The EOS also offers full edge support, with the greatest support noticeable in the firmer options. Expect more edge sinkage with the plusher builds and if you’re a heavier adult. Thanks to the coil layer and the latex layers, added to the wool batting, the EOS is much more breathable than synthetic foam and helps regulate body temperature. The EOS also has a good amount of bounce but not so much as to be disturbing.
There are five firmness levels to choose between: extra-firm, firm, cushion-firm, medium, and plush. The latex-free version isn’t available in extra-firm, however. Note that the plush option can make it harder to move around on the bed as it allows for so much sinkage. The cushion-firm or firm are the best choices for folks who find it harder to move around in bed. These are also the preferred choices to support active sex.
If you’re a side sleeper who weighs more than 230 lbs., skip the plush option, as this allows for too much sinkage and could actually cause back and joint pain. If you’re a side sleeper weighing 130 lbs. or less, avoid the extra-firm and firm options because these likely won’t allow enough sinkage for pressure relief.
| Best option(s) | Best option(s) |
|---|---|
| Side-sleepers (130 lbs. and under) | Plush / Medium |
| Side-sleepers (130-230 lbs.) | Medium / Cushion-Firm |
| Side-sleepers (over 230 lbs.) | Firm |
Don’t worry if your first configuration doesn’t work out, though. Naturepedic offers a 100-day trial period, as with all of its mattresses. You also get a 100-day window for free exchanges of your comfort layers (using a prepaid shipping label, you get a full refund once Naturepedic receives the layers back undamaged). At a later date, outside of the 100-day period, you can also swap out layers for new ones that better meet any changing needs. This approach helps save you money and resources too.

The Serenity from Savvy Rest is a superbly customizable all-latex mattress that works well for most side sleepers under around 250 lb. With options of Talalay and Dunlop latex in three firmness ratings across all layers, this mattress can provide a perfect balance of spinal support and pressure relief.
Savvy Rest makes the Serenity in the U.S. in its GOTS-certified factory. This B Corp has a strong reputation for customer service and quality products and has a charitable side to the company, donating pillows to domestic violence shelters.
What’s in it?
The 10-inch all-latex Serenity mattress comprises:
- Organic cotton casing with brass zipper
- Organic wool batting (quilted to prevent bunching)
- Three 3-inch layers of natural latex (Dunlop or Talalay) in soft, medium, and firm.
With options to choose soft, medium, or firm, in either Dunlop or Talalay for each layer, the Serenity offers twice as much choice as most all-latex mattresses.
In terms of certifications, the Dunlop latex is GOLS, the Talalay is Cradle to Cradle Gold, and the wool and cotton are GOTS.
This mattress is free of glues, adhesives, chemical flame retardants, and synthetic materials and is put together by hand in a GOTS factory in the U.S.
How it performs
With options to customize all three latex layers and both sides of the Serenity, this mattress is a great choice for most side sleepers under 250 lb. If you’re much heavier than that, you may find that the 10-inch design bottoms out, putting pressure on your hips and shoulders.
Lighter side-sleepers may enjoy three Talalay layers in soft, medium, and medium. Average-weight side sleepers may prefer a slightly firmer build with soft Talalay on top, soft Dunlop below, and medium or firm Dunlop as a base layer. If you’re a little heavier, three Dunlop layers in soft, medium, and firm may work well, or two medium and one firm if you like a firmer feel overall.
Side-sleepers whose sleep partner has quite different sleep needs will enjoy not having to compromise as the Serenity allows for customization on both sides. This mattress is also very breathable, wicks away moisture, and helps you regulate your temperature, working well for both hot and cold sleepers across all seasons.
The one caveat with the Serenity is that at ten inches, it may not provide enough depth of support for adult side-sleepers heavier than 250 lb. This is because side sleepers tend to sink more into a mattress, given the higher weight-to-surface area ratio. Even with a firmer overall build, some heavier adults who sleep on their side might be able to feel the bed base under their hips or shoulders. Adding a mattress topper (above or below the mattress!) could add the extra few inches of support needed, however, so all is not lost if you get the Serenity and find it bottoms out for you.
Note that Savvy Rest only recommends using the Serenity on a rigid, slatted foundation or platform bed, not for a Murphy or adjustable bed. If the slats are more than two inches apart, use a bed rug, or Savvy Rest will consider your warranty void.

Luxury Bliss lives up to it’s name! Super cozy especially for a side sleeper like me. It’s like sleeping on a cloud. Couldn’t be happier w it!
Kara B., 2021
I have been using this mattress for the last 2 years and I still congratulate myself for making a great purchase. I am a side sleeper and I used to have back problems. My partner is a back sleeper, tall and relatively heavy. The mattress is extremely comfortable for both, has the right balance of support and softness, and does not transfer movements from one person to another. It has excellent temperature and humidity regulation – latex does not feel hot, unlike the memory foam I had used before, plus it is natural). The quality and build are both excellent, we will be enjoying this mattress for a few good years.
Andra C., 2022
We love our Plush Bed! After being miserable for over a year on our Tempurpedic Cool Breeze, we took a risk and bought a bed online. Plush had so many 5-star reviews we felt we had a good chance of loving it. We are mostly side sleepers and this bed is perfect. we purchased the lambswool topper from Plush. Our bed is like a 5-star hotel now. Not too hot, not too soft. Just right. We love the organic, all-natural materials which was a big selling point for us as well.
Susan F., 2021
PlushBeds makes the Luxury Bliss with organic latex and pocket coils in both medium-firm and medium. The medium option is a breathable, supportive mattress ideal for many side-sleepers and suits heavier back-sleepers.
What’s in it?
Unlike the Botanical Bliss, the 12-inch Luxury Bliss is a hybrid mattress. From top to bottom, the Luxury Bliss comprises:
- 1-inch GOTS-certified organic cotton cover
- GOTS wool quilted layer
- 3-inch Talalay latex
- 8-inch fabric-encased coil core
- GOTS wool
- 1-inch GOTS-certified organic cotton cover.
PlushBeds uses GOLS-certified organic latex and GOTS-certified Joma New Zealand wool, which is naturally high in keratin (a protein) and provides a non-toxic flame barrier. As such, PlushBeds doesn’t use chemical flame retardants. This mattress is also free of glues, adhesives, and any other toxic chemicals or materials.
The coil unit in the Queen-size Luxury Bliss contains 1,057 individually fabric-wrapped coils. That’s more coils than most latex hybrid mattresses and provides more individual support. The Luxury Bliss also has more coils with a larger gauge at the edge for perimeter support.
PlushBeds stitches the wool layer into the cotton cover to help keep the mattress layers together without bunching. It also uses a circular-knit design for the cotton cover, affording more pressure relief and joint support.
How it performs
The Luxury Bliss is available in a medium-firm and medium. These are rated at 8/10 and 5.5/10 for firmness, respectively.
The medium-firm will be too firm for most side-sleepers, but the medium is a great choice for average to heavier adults (130 lbs. or more). The top layer of Talalay latex offers bounce and pressure relief, while the underlying coils offer excellent support for proper spinal posture.
If you’re a side sleeper weighing less than 130 lbs., the medium may feel too firm for you. Similarly, the Luxury Bliss likely isn’t a good choice for a lighter teen or child who sleeps on their side.
For sleep partners with different body types and sleep styles, the Luxury Bliss is available in a split design for Queen-size and up. If you’re a side sleeper and your partner sleeps on their back or stomach, consider getting a medium / medium-firm split to meet everyone’s needs.
As a latex hybrid mattress with airier Talalay latex and a taller coil unit, the Luxury Bliss is breathable and excellent for temperature regulation. It’s also lighter than the Botanical Bliss and the EOS and has four or six sturdy handles for ease of movement.
What to avoid
What to avoid?
Side-sleepers often experience back pain and joint pain after sleeping on a mattress that is too firm or too soft with insufficient underlying support. An overly firm mattress that your body can’t sink into a little puts your spine out of alignment and creates pressure on your hips and shoulders. However, while you want your mattress to be soft enough to provide pressure relief at the hips and shoulders, you don’t want to sink in too much. It’s also important to have firm support beneath the soft comfort layer, especially at the hips and shoulders, to keep your spine properly aligned. A medium-firm zoned mattress is ideal for most side sleepers, unless they are much taller, heavier, or lighter than average.
