Ergonomic Sleeping: What’s the Best Position to Sleep in?

Lying down to sleep seems like a simple notion, but not all sleep positions are created equal.

Spinal alignment affects sleep,² and due to variations in body types and sizes, finding the sweet spot for sleep can be tough. Your body position, weight distribution, and angle of your spine make a difference in both sleep quality¹ and back pain. It’s so important that researchers have spent many years to determine the best position for sleeping.

Sleeping on your side with knees bent at a 135^o angle and hip joints at a 45^o angle lets the spinal column relax¹ best. Finding those exact measurements while laying down is difficult, but you can get close. Your bed shouldn’t be too soft – letting body weight sag down – or too firm.¹ The key is to find a mattress and base that fits your body, and never let a worn mattress interrupt an opportunity for your best sleep.
