  2. Your sleeping position (back – side – stomach)

Quick general tips:

Try the mattress for at least 14 days before making a final judgment.

The pillow is as important as the mattress — use a high pillow for the side, low for the stomach.

Make sure the mattress supports the body from head to pelvis , without any obvious curves.
