If you find yourself rolling onto your stomach to fall asleep at night, you can count yourself as a member of a fairly small group: consistent stomach sleepers. Not many people choose belly-down as their preferred sleeping position; in fact, many surveys find the percentage of stomach sleepers to hover just below ten percent. Some stomach sleepers might tuck their hands under their head, turn their head right or left, or even bend a knee upwards for added comfort – whatever your stomach sleeping position looks like, all that matters is that you’re sleeping well.
While stomach sleeping is the least common – and unfortunately, the least recommended – sleeping position, having the right mattress can help you make sure you’re optimizing your sleep health, no matter which way you choose to snooze.
What Kind of Mattress is Best for Stomach Sleepers
One of the biggest challenges faced by stomach sleepers is finding a mattress that provides the ideal amount and distribution of support. If you’re a stomach sleeper that often wakes up with an achy or stiff neck, sore back, or another discomfort, it’s highly likely that you’re not getting the right support at night.
Sleeping on your stomach can lead to excess pressure on your spine and neck, which occurs as a result of your body sinking into the mattress and the necessity of turning your head to one side. Despite these challenges, some people simply find that the stomach is their preferred sleeping position, and they aren’t able to change lifelong habits.
If you’re a committed stomach sleeper, the right mattress can make all the difference. Try to choose one with a high level of responsiveness, meaning it adapts the level of cushioning depending on your body’s position. Avoid too-soft mattresses, because you’ll simply sink into a “U” shape, but don’t go too firm either, or you’ll likely be tossing and turning all night. And of course, choose a pillow that contours well and provides excellent support to help avoid neck pain and stiffness in the morning.
