Sleep experts often recommend a medium to firm mattress as ideal for stomach sleepers, depending on body weight and preferred sleeping position.

Our go-to choice for stomach sleepers is a natural latex mattress. Its breathable materials reduce heat retention and distribute compression over a larger surface area, which reduces midsection sinkage that puts strain on lower back.

Firmness

Stomach sleepers generally favor firm mattresses to keep their spine in alignment when lying face-down. A soft mattress may allow hips to sink, creating pain in the lower back, shoulders and neck region. Firm mattresses prevent this from occurring by evenly dispersing weight across their sleeping surface.

On the typical firmness scale, stomach sleepers should aim for a mattress firmness level of around 7 on average. People who weigh more should seek out mattresses closer to an 8 since their heavier bodies require additional support in keeping their spine properly aligned.

As well as firmness, an ideal stomach-sleeping mattress should provide adequate shoulder and neck support. A hybrid mattress such as WinkBed may offer these advantages by providing benefits of both foam and pocketed coils – for instance a plush gel-infused memory foam layer contouring to the body for comfort before polyfoam for durability and structure; plus there’s individual wrapped coils with zoned lumbar support that’s especially ideal for stomach sleepers.

Respondent mattresses offer fast adaptation to your natural body shapes and can prevent feeling stuck in bed; which is especially frustrating for stomach sleepers.

No matter the sleeper type, mattress conformation is of great importance – particularly among stomach sleepers whose flat sleeping profiles exert extra strain on the sleeping surface. A mattress that’s too firm may exacerbate this pressure while one that’s too soft may leave gaps between its surface and your body that cause discomfort.

The Nolah Evolution mattress is ideal for stomach sleepers as it provides the optimal combination of pushback and conformity. It features a Euro top layer made of plush gel-infused memory foam that conforms to your body and keeps you cool throughout the night, while absorbing heat from your head, neck and shoulders. A layer of ArcticTex fibers and HDMax EcoSupport coils helps circulate air efficiently to help reduce body heat during restful slumber.

Support

Though sleep experts often discourage stomach sleeping, if this position becomes your preferred one it can make your experience more comfortable. Firm mattresses tend to work best as they prevent hips from sinking while aligning spine properly – these typically come in memory foam, innerspring or hybrid configurations with firmness being key factor; other features may influence choice as well.

Though soft mattresses with thick pillow tops might feel cozy when lying on their stomachs, they may cause stomach sleepers to overarch their backs and hips, increasing spine pressure and leading to pain. Furthermore, such beds could retain heat during the night and cause overheating issues.

Charles P. Rogers Estate SE offers an ideal option for stomach sleepers who prefer firm mattresses. It can be easily switched between medium-firm (for switchers) and firmer surfaces; Talalay latex ensures more suppleness, breathability, durability, and long term use even with heavier users. This mattress should last you long into your sleeping careers!

Helix Dawn mattress is another top choice for stomach sleepers. As one of several Helix models that caters specifically to specific sleep positions, Helix Dawn was made for stomach and back sleepers alike, featuring over 1,000 wrapped coils to help keep spine alignment and prevent overarching; furthermore, its layer of firmer foam prevents the body from sinking too deeply, placing additional stress on hips and shoulders.

Other features to keep in mind when shopping for a mattress for stomach sleepers may include cooling technology – useful if you find it hard to stay cool throughout the night – reduced motion transfer for partners who toss and turn frequently, and eco-friendly certification (many top stomach sleeping mattresses are made from sustainable materials like natural latex and cotton).

Temperature Control

Though experts advise against stomach sleeping due to its strain on your spine and neck, it doesn’t have to be impossible. All it takes is finding a mattress with enough support and pressure relief for hips, back, shoulders, neck and head so as to reduce painful aches when you awake. Furthermore, your ideal bed should offer cooling technology as well as features tailored specifically for you, like reduced motion transfer (if sharing bedroom with partner), or eco-friendly certification if that matters to you.

As a rule, stomach sleepers should opt for medium to firm mattresses that offer enough support to keep their bodies aligned while offering pressure relief in key areas like hips and shoulders. A firm mattress will also help minimize soreness.

As stomach sleepers make more contact with their mattress than other sleep positions, it’s crucial that their mattress material provides adequate breathing and temperature regulation. All-foam mattresses may not be the ideal choice as they can trap heat and become overheated quickly; memory foam mattresses in particular may retain heat due to its dense construction.

However, hybrid mattresses or those featuring multiple layers are typically more breathable than their foam-only counterparts. A good example is the Nolah Natural 11-inch mattress from Saatva which includes natural latex for pressure relief in stomach sleeping positions as well as HDMax EcoSupport coils for support and breathability at its base.

The Nolah’s price may be slightly higher than other models, but it still represents a great option for stomach sleepers looking for comfort and breathability. Plus, with three firmness levels to choose from you can find one that’s tailored specifically to you and financing options are also available!

Materials

Stomach sleepers require firm support from their mattress to avoid hips sinking into it and creating misalignment with their spine, and avoid sagging beds which pull on their stomach, leading to discomfort. If your current mattress doesn’t provide these features, then upgrading may be in order.

Stomach sleepers will benefit from finding mattresses made with materials designed to provide both comfort and support in their sleeping positions. When shopping, stomach sleepers should look for mattresses featuring cooling technology to stay cool during the night; responsive feel for those who tend to shift around while sleeping; reduced motion transfer without disturbing their partner; eco-friendly certifications if that is important; as well as eco-friendly certifications (if this is important).

Foam mattresses are often an ideal choice for stomach sleepers as they conform to your body’s contours, providing pressure-relieving cradling to prevent sharp pressure points commonly felt by these sleepers. However, some foam mattresses may allow hips to sink too deeply for proper spinal alignment – for this reason an innerspring core mattress may be best.

Hybrid mattresses may also make an excellent choice for stomach sleepers due to their ability to provide support on both sides of the body. An example would be Brooklyn Bedding Signature Hybrid which features a soft foam top layer for added support, helping ensure hips won’t sink in too deeply and cause misalignments with their spines.

Latex mattresses may also make an excellent choice for stomach sleepers as their weight distribution over a larger surface area can help ensure proper alignment while still offering pressure-relief and relief from foam mattresses.

Nolah Natural 11-Inch Mattress offers another great choice. Made of organic wool and cotton with recycled steel and Talalay latex for support, the Nolah has an appealingly bouncy feel while offering plenty of pressure relieving support compared to all-foam mattresses.
