Okay, I know this will sound kind of funny, but "side sleepers" sleep directly on their left or right side, with arms fully stretched out, and legs fully straight. Fetal sleepers have their legs curled up and their back slightly arched with the stomache supporting them more than their side.
That is the difference.
I am a side sleeper. I had to teach myself to sleep with my arms folded against my chest so that my wife would have room to sleep with me. She's a stomach sleeper.
