+====== Best Mattress Recommendations for Side and Side/Back Sleepers ======
+=== Best Mattress Types for Side and Side/Back Sleepers ===
+==== Memory Foam ====
+  * **Why:** Provides excellent contouring for pressure points like shoulders and hips, critical for side sleepers, while offering enough support for back sleeping.
+  * **Recommendation:** Look for a medium firmness level to balance comfort and support.
+  * **Examples:**
+    * **Nectar Premier:** Affordable with good pressure relief.
+    * **Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-Cloud:** Premium option with adaptive foam.
+==== Hybrid ====
+  * **Why:** Combines the pressure relief of foam with the support of coils. Great for maintaining spinal alignment, especially for those switching between side and back positions.
+  * **Recommendation:** A medium to medium-firm hybrid is ideal.
+  * **Examples:**
+    * **Saatva Classic:** Adjustable firmness with a Euro pillow top.
+    * **Helix Midnight Luxe:** Designed specifically for side sleepers and offers lumbar support.
+==== Latex ====
+  * **Why:** Offers a slightly firmer feel with good responsiveness, making it easy to shift positions. Natural latex is durable and hypoallergenic.
+  * **Recommendation:** Choose a medium firmness.
+  * **Examples:**
+    * **Avocado Green Mattress:** Eco-friendly with a medium-plush pillow top option.
+    * **PlushBeds Botanical Bliss:** Customizable firmness and organic materials.
+=== Features to Look For ===
+  - **Pressure Relief:** Essential for reducing shoulder and hip discomfort for side sleeping.
+  - **Zoned Support:** Offers softer areas for shoulders and firmer zones for lumbar support, ideal for back sleepers.
+  - **Motion Isolation:** If you share the bed, choose a mattress that minimizes movement transfer (memory foam and hybrids excel at this).
+  - **Edge Support:** Important for hybrids to ensure the mattress doesn’t sag at the edges.
+=== Recommendations Based on Your Needs ===
+  - **Primary Choice:**
+     * **Helix Midnight Luxe:** Balances pressure relief and support, with zoning ideal for side and back sleepers.
+  - **Eco-Friendly Option:**
