Is Stomach Sleeping Bad For You?
- Pillows - When you are sleeping on your stomach, no pillow or a very flat, soft pillow will help you keep your spine flat and you neck somewhat aligned. Too often people will use pillows with too much loft, or too thick, pushing their head up and kinking their neck further. No pillow or a soft, flat Kapok Pillow as seen in the link will allow you to sleep comfortably.
- Flat to firm mattress - Stomach sleeping requires a firm to medium firm mattress, one that does not allow the middle part of your body to sink too much. Too soft will force the lumbar to sink, causing pain.

I have a bad mattress and I am overweight, that is true, but that’s not why I sleep on my stomach. I’ve slept on my stomach since I was a kid, so it has nothing to do with trying to get comfortable because of the mattress. I’ve always been more comfy on my stomach when I sleep. If I don’t sleep on my stomach I always wind up turning on my stomach in my sleep. I have no problems with my back from sleeping on my back, but it’s not a natural way to sleep for me so I can fall asleep that way, but I wont stay that way in my sleep. I just say that because normally if my back I don’t move around. Which is great especially if you sleep with somebody…lol.

Hey, I just read about your business and I need a new bed. I live in Saskatoon, SK Canada which is central Canada. Approximately how much would it cost to ship a queen size mattress(no box spring) to my house. Curb side service is fine. Postal code is S7N 1G5. Thanks!
