Hi everyone, I'm new here.  My upper back, shoulders and neck have been in chronic pain since giving up my waterbed for a boxspring and coil bed.  I'm researching the best (inexpensive) foam mattress to get that will help with my pain.  I'm currently looking at a Serta 11 inch select a firmness mattress, which firmness should a side sleeper get?  The choices are Soft, Medium and Firm with the reviews saying the firm softens over time. 

Do side sleepers need a soft bed or firm bed?  Any help would be greatly appreciated, it's been 3 years of hellish shoulder pain (which is hurting more than my back) from sleeping on a coil mattress.

ETA:  Here is the link to the reviews on the mattress.  I'm still trying to read them all but any feedback on firmness would be helpful.
