Sleep Profile
About Aoife
Aoife is the team's dedicated side sleeper, bringing a perspective that's critical for the most common sleeping position in Ireland. A former camogie player, she carries an old shoulder injury that makes her particularly sensitive to how mattresses handle pressure relief at the shoulders and hips.
Her testing feedback has shaped how we score pressure relief across every mattress review. If a mattress doesn't allow her to sink in at the shoulder, she knows by morning — and that direct, lived experience translates into practical advice for readers with similar needs.
Running cold at night, Aoife also provides a valuable counterpoint to the team's hot sleepers when evaluating temperature regulation. A mattress that feels "cooling" to Seán might feel just right to Aoife.
Testing Focus
Aoife's testing centres on shoulder and hip pressure relief — the most critical factor for side sleepers. Her old camogie injury means she picks up on subtle pressure differences that others might miss, making her feedback invaluable for side sleeper recommendations.
