While many experts caution against stomach sleeping, some individuals still choose this position for restful slumber. Such individuals may require a firm mattress in order to prevent their midsection from sinking in too deeply and misaligning their spine.

Search for a hybrid mattress featuring at least two foam layers over individually wrapped coils for optimal spinal support and weight distribution. Our top pick, Nolah Natural 11-inch is crafted from eco-friendly materials such as organic cotton and wool for optimal support and weight distribution.

Medium to Firm

Stomach sleepers usually opt for firmer mattresses to better align the hips with their shoulders. Although firmness should certainly be taken into consideration when selecting a mattress, support, materials and construction are equally crucial to providing restful night’s rest.

Firm mattresses can help support the lower back, lift hips and relieve shoulder/neck strain; however, too much firmness may lead to discomfort; thus achieving a good balance between firmness and comfort is paramount for stomach sleepers.

Mattresses are typically graded on a firmness scale from one to ten, with one being softest and ten being firmest. Stomach sleepers should aim for a medium or medium-firm mattress between 6.5 and 7, as this level of firmness will keep the spine from arching out of alignment while elevating hips above shoulders to relieve pressure off their lower backs.

Foam mattresses are an ideal choice for stomach sleepers, offering plenty of support and contour without sinkage. All-foam mattresses can also be found within budget constraints and come in various comfort levels such as memory foam, polyfoam, latex foam or combinations thereof. Furthermore, foam mattresses tend to feature cool sleeping surfaces which keep bodies cool throughout the night.

Nolah Evolution mattresses are a top pick for stomach sleepers. Available in three firmness options and equipped with ArcticTex fibers designed to promote cooling, these layers sit atop of a gel-infused plush comfort layer for cooling as well as HDMax EcoSupport coils that offer zoned pushback for shoulders, hips and other pressure points prone areas of pressure build-up.

WinkBed mattresses are handcrafted and available in three firmness options for stomach sleepers, from Luxury Firm to Firm mattresses. Medium to firm stomach sleepers will benefit most from either of the Luxury Firm or Firm mattresses which both boast cooling Euro top layers of plush gel-infused foam as well as SupportCell foam layers for durability and support. All layers are housed within an innerspring unit featuring individually wrapped coils providing zoned support that keep hips elevated while aligning spine.

Memory Foam

Stomach sleepers generally favor mattresses with medium to firm feel levels that support proper alignment of their spine, preventing sinkage that could potentially cause back pain. They need mattresses that balance conforming and support, so as not to get stuck or overly stretched out while sleeping. The ideal mattresses for stomach sleepers include hybrid beds with coils as well as foam or memory foam options which offer these features in an optimal balance of firmness and support.

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature mattress is an ideal solution for stomach sleepers, featuring an innerspring layer with pocketed and continuous-wire coils for ample support while staying cool and comfortable. In addition, its layer of cooling gel helps regulate its temperature to avoid overheating; plus its organic cotton cover adds breathability.

Nolah Evolution mattress is another top pick for stomach sleepers, featuring an organic cotton cover made with moisture-wicking fabric that provides optimal breathability and cooling properties. In addition, two inches of HDMax EcoSupport coils help prevent sinkage of stomach while providing effective pressure relief.

Memory foam is a type of polyurethane with added chemicals to increase its density and viscosity, giving it unique properties such as adapting to your body’s shapes and curves while returning back to its original form after any pressure is released. It is particularly well suited for stomach sleepers as its unique shape keeps spine in a neutral position without pushing against hips too far or pulling up on shoulders too much.

Memory foam products like gel infusions or corrugated foam (also referred to as egg crate foam) possess unique cooling properties that make them superior to regular foam materials. Their more resilient feel helps regulate bed temperatures and prevent overheating.

Stomach sleepers may wish to opt for a memory foam mattress with minimal pillow top, as thick pillows may obstruct their spine and cause an unnatural curvature of neck and spine that might hinder breathing if their mattress is too soft.

Latex

Stomach sleepers tend to favor mattresses that are firm. Anything softer may put strain on the spine and lead to back pain or injury for those with poor posture, while too soft of a mattress could allow hips to shift into an unnatural position leading to snoring, neck and shoulder discomfort or even snoring! To prevent this, seek a medium to firm mattress which supports both hips while encouraging good posture during sleep.

An ideal mattress option for stomach sleepers is a natural latex mattress. These types of mattresses can be constructed using either natural or synthetic latex, which starts out as an emulsion of rubber polymer particles in water that cures to form solid material that’s used in everything from balloons and paintbrushes to paint, soles of shoes, and mattresses. Natural latex comes from rubber tree sap that can be extracted without harming the tree; additionally it comes from sustainable forests owned by families that ensure an eco-friendly source that’s nontoxic and nontoxic as well.

Latex is an airy material designed to keep users cool and comfortable, featuring open cell structures with pinholes allowing air flow between its layers. Due to this characteristic, latex mattresses have become one of the more breathable and cooling mattress choices available and one reason they have gained so much traction over time.

Latex not only offers breathability but its natural properties also make it extremely durable and long-term material. Unlike foam which flattens over time, latex quickly bounces back into shape to maintain support and cushioning properties. Furthermore, its resistance to mold, mildew, bacteria, as well as its naturally fresh scent makes latex an ideal material.

Many latex mattresses feature an organic layer of wool for increased fire safety, temperature regulation and fresh bedding. Wool also makes an ideal hypoallergenic bedding option that’s suitable for those with allergies or sensitive skin – avocado mattresses for instance are made with all-natural latex and wool for an ultra cool yet cushioned sleep surface.

Hybrid

A good mattress for stomach sleepers must provide both firm support and some pressure relief at the hips, helping prevent their hips from sinking too far into the mattress, which could alter spinal alignment and lead to discomfort in their lower back. Furthermore, such mattresses must prevent their spines from arching out of alignment which could result in neck pain.

Ideal sleeping surfaces for stomach sleepers should be breathable and cool to the touch, promoting healthy skin and circulation. They will feature soft organic cotton covers with ArcticTex fibers designed to manage heat and moisture as well as HDMax EcoSupport coils for added support while remaining cool at all times.

Firmness is an essential consideration for all sleep positions, but particularly stomach sleepers. Finding an optimal firmness level will prevent hips from sinking too deeply into their mattresses and straining the lower back causing chronic discomfort or pain.

Typically, the optimal mattress for stomach sleepers will be medium-firm with a firmness rating between 6.5 to 8. This level should provide enough support to prevent the back from arching out of alignment and lift both hips in line with shoulders.

Mattress toppers may provide extra comfort for stomach sleepers, but it is essential that a firm mattress be selected so as to offer proper support and keep hips from sinking too far into it. Foam toppers with cooling gel may help reduce overheating during sleep.

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress is an excellent choice for stomach sleepers as it provides the ideal combination of comfort and support. Coils provide ample spine alignment while foam layers conform to your body without sinking. Ideal for lightweight to average-weight stomach sleepers; can also work for heavier people who like the feel of innerspring mattresses.

The Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid mattress is an excellent option for couples sharing one mattress, as each sleeper can select their ideal firmness level without impacting each other’s sleep experience. This feature can be found across all Brooklyn Bedding mattresses including our firm model recommended for stomach sleepers.
