Spend money on a good mattress and pillow. A shitty bed will ruin you. And don't skimp on the pillow either.
I snore when I'm on my back so I end up on my side most nights. Putting a pillow between the knees is always helpful. Keeps the legs straight and helps your back and hips. There's special leg pillows out there but I haven't gone that far. There are also pillows designed specifically for side sleep. A weighted blanket might also help if you're moving around a bunch in your sleep.
I've also heard sleeping on your left side is better than the right cuz of how your organs are laid out.
I also recommend an acupressure mat if you have problems relaxing before bed. I lie on one for a half hour while reading and it knocks me out. Girlfriend hates cuz I konk out so hard I instantly start snoring.
