Best Mattress for Stomach Sleepers

Stomach sleeping requires careful mattress selection to prevent back strain and maintain proper spinal alignment. The right mattress provides firm support while allowing your hips to sink slightly.

Challenges of Stomach Sleeping

Stomach sleepers need firm mattresses that prevent excessive arching of the lower back. Too soft a mattress allows your hips to sink too deep, creating an unnatural spinal curve that can cause back pain and discomfort.

The ideal stomach sleeper mattress is firm enough to support your weight evenly while providing just enough cushioning for comfort. Look for mattresses that maintain spinal alignment in the prone position.

Essential Features for Stomach Sleepers

  • Firm support (7-9 on a 1-10 scale) to maintain spinal alignment
  • Minimal contouring to prevent hip sinking
  • Good edge support for easy getting in/out of bed
  • Durable construction that maintains firmness over time
  • Motion isolation if sharing the bed

Recommended Mattress Types

Firm Hybrid Mattresses

Strong coil cores with thin comfort layers provide the perfect balance of support and minimal contouring needed for stomach sleeping.

Firm Innerspring Mattresses

Traditional coil mattresses offer excellent support for stomach sleepers. Look for higher coil counts (800+) for better durability.

Firm Latex Mattresses

Natural latex provides supportive, responsive comfort without excessive sinking. Opt for firmer latex formulations.

Stomach Sleeper Tips

  • Choose a mattress 1-2 firmness levels firmer than you think you need
  • Test the mattress by lying face down for several minutes
  • Ensure your lower back doesn't arch excessively
  • Consider a body pillow between your knees for spinal alignment
  • Use a thin pillow to avoid neck strain
