What's the Best Mattress for Stomach Sleepers?

 

As only 16% of people sleep on their back, determining the correct mattress for stomach sleepers can be tricky. 

The stomach posture can put unnecessary strain on the neck and back, increasing your chances of waking up with soreness. This problem might be exacerbated by a mattress that does not give appropriate support. The majority of stomach sleepers require a bed that avoids severe displacements in the middle.

We assessed all aspects of mattress quality, from longevity and periphery support to temperature regulation and stress relief, to provide you with the best mattress for stomach sleepers below.

Certified Organic All Latex

Key Features:

  • Contouring and suppleness are in a comfortable balance
  • Latex that has a springy and robust feel
  • Superior support

Our top-of-the-line mattress is the best mattress for stomach sleepers, firm or soft, as you can choose how firm you want this mattress to be when you order. 

A flexible organic latex cushioning layer provides a blend of contouring and bounce. 

Stomach sleepers need a lot of support to avoid bending into a posterior pelvic tilt while they sleep and waking up with a sore lower back. The Certified Organic All Latex offers support in spades without sacrificing comfort.

With a pure rubber latex percentage of about 95% and other organic materials to build the rest of the mattress, this is one of the best hypoallergenic mattresses on the market too. It has plenty of certifications to attest to this fact.

As there are only organically sourced products used in the production of this mattress, you can also feel guilt-free about upgrading to one of the highest quality latex mattresses on the market for stomach sleepers.

You’ll love this mattress if:

  • You desire a responsive firm or medium mattress
  • You sleep on your backs, belly, or combination of both

Not so much:

  • People who love to sleep on a soft bed will not like this mattress

Saatva Classic

Key Features:

  • Magnificent cooling with a porous design
  • Strong corner support
  • The dual coil layers provide a helping response

The Saatva is a quality mattress for stomach sleepers as it features numerous layers of cushion, packed coils, and Bonnell coils. The Saatva Classic's architecture provides a combination of the best mattress for belly sleepers' features, such as bouncing, side support, ventilation, and shaping.

The Saatva Classic's upper layer comprises a Euro-top with organic cotton covering and a polyfoam core. This layer cushions the pressure points of a belly sleeper without sinking too far. A tiny layer of foam padding sits towards the mattress's midpoint, easing and softening the hips of stomach sleepers.

There are two thickness choices and three hardness variations for the Saatva Classic. The thickness choices are 11.5 inches and 14.5 inches, with gentle (3), moderate firm (6), and firm (7) stiffness options (8). Considering its added support, the rugged variant of the mattress will probably be the best mattress for stomach sleepers above 130 pounds.

For:

  • Great for those seeking a greater variety of hardness and thickness options
  • Those who like a good mix of bounce and pressure alleviation

Not for:

  • Those on a budget
