The 10 Best Mattresses for Stomach Sleepers in 2023

The Nectar Premier Copper mattress has a mid-range firmness that should accommodate most stomach sleepers, though significantly heavier individuals may prefer a firmer model or firm topper with this bed. Furthermore, if you sleep with a partner, this middle-ground comfort feel should complement them as well. The bed offers support without sinkage, hugging your body while keeping your spine aligned.

The construction of the Nectar Premier Copper mattress starts with a gel-infused memory foam comfort layer, followed by a polyfoam transition layer, and polyfoam support layers. The cover is made of polyester, nylon, and polyethylene. 

What stands out about it?

• The 4-inch gel-infused memory foam layer helps keep hot sleepers cool by preventing the foam from overheating.
• Most sleepers should feel the memory foam hugging the body without allowing you to sink deep into the bed, which is especially important for those who sleep on their stomach.

The DreamCloud Premier is a hybrid mattress with a Euro top, memory foam layers, and a coil unit. The combination allows sleepers to experience the best of both worlds – the comfort and body-hugging of memory foam and the bounce and responsiveness of the coils.

Adding to the luxurious feel of the mattress is the Mongolian cashmere cover. Below the cover are the Euro top cradle and support layers, each measuring 1 inch in height. Side and back sleepers should like the softness of the foams, while couples should enjoy motion isolation from the coils.

What stands out about it?

• The DreamCloud Premier has higher gauge coils around the perimeter to support the edges. This allows couples and people who like to spread out to use the entire surface of the bed.
• The mattress is good for hot sleepers thanks to the gel-infused memory foam that prevents overheating.

Saatva offers three firmness levels, making the Saatva Classic mattress suitable for side and stomach sleepers. Side sleepers should find pressure relief in the softer mattress designed to prevent build-up. Stomach sleepers may prefer firmer models for their support and spinal alignment.

The Saatva Classic is available in 11.5-inch and 14.5-inch heights. The contouring Euro pillow top with Lumbar Zone® quilting supports the center third of the mattress, which is where it’s most needed. The bed has two coil units made of individually-wrapped and interconnected coils.

Why we picked it

• The Saatva Classic mattress has high-density foam rails to support the edges and prevent them from sagging.
• The bed is available in two heights and three firmness levels to fit different sleeping positions.

The WinkBed mattress is available in three firmness options, but we feel the Luxury Firm and Firm models would be best for stomach sleepers. Each model features the Euro top layer of plush gel-infused foam to keep hot sleepers cool. The second layer is the SupportCell foam, followed by the innerspring unit.

WinkBed has individually-wrapped coils with zoned support. Zoned support offers enough pushback in the shoulders, hips, and other areas prone to pressure build-up. Below the coil unit is a layer of polyfoam that gives the bed durability and structure.

What stands out?

• Each WinkBed is handcrafted, so no two mattresses are the same. You may notice slight variations between the beds.
• Foams used in the WinkBed mattress are CertiPUR-US certified. The bed received the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Class 1 certification for the cover.

Heavier sleepers will like the firmness and support the Helix Plus provides. The mattress has a strong core under foam layers that ease the pressure at typical pressure points. The Helix Plus supports stomach sleepers by not allowing the hips to sink into the bed.

The design works together to provide pressure relief and support. The top layer has Helix Dynamic Foam and Ultra-Dense memory foam, allowing side sleepers to sink just enough to relieve pressure. Stomach sleepers will benefit from the firmer memory foam that works as a transition layer above the individually-wrapped coils. The foam layered on top of the coils provides a high IFD (Indentation Force Deflection), keeping you from sinking into the bed when sleeping on your stomach.

Why we love it

• The Helix Plus should keep hot sleepers cool thanks to the coil system that improves airflow. The coils move individually to allow better motion isolation and more breathability.

The Signature is a hybrid mattress that fits couples and single individuals looking for support, pressure relief, and comfort. The bed is available in three firmness options to accommodate all sleeping positions.

This hybrid features the Brooklyn Bedding’s proprietary TitanFlex™ and VariFlex™ foam. TitanFlex™ is a latex-like foam that contours the body and is responsive for easy repositioning. VariFlex™ is a transition layer that separates the TitanFlex™ from the coils. Stomach sleepers may like medium and firm models, while side sleepers may prefer the plushness of the softer model.

Why we picked it

• The Signature Hybrid is available in three firmness options, making it easy to find a mattress suitable for all sleeping positions.
• The Signature Hybrid offers good motion isolation couples will benefit from. The bed doesn’t allow motion transfer, so partners with different sleeping styles don’t disturb one another.

People experiencing shoulder and hip pain need a mattress that helps mitigate the pressure. The Leesa Legend is rated 6/10 on our firmness scale, so some stomach sleepers may want a firmer mattress.

Side sleepers often experience shoulder and hip pain due to pressure build-up. The right kind of mattress can help ease the pain by preventing the pressure from building up in these areas. The Legend does this by including micro coils in the areas under your head and feet with polyfoam between the two points. This design should melt away pressure and pain in these areas, while the second coil unit gives the bed bounce, airflow, and support. The second coil unit features individually-wrapped coils.

What makes it unique?

• The mattress features two coil systems and a comfort layer with aerated punch holes, allowing maximum airflow and cooling.

Latex is quickly gaining momentum as an eco-friendly, buoyant, and cooler alternative to memory foam. This hybrid from Nolah combines natural Talalay latex with individually wrapped coils that should give sleepers incredible responsiveness, pressure relief, and support.

Allergies can easily keep sleepers up all hours of the night, but the Nolah Natural is a hypoallergenic option that is resistant to common allergens like dirt and dust mites. Furthermore, this bed is a more environmentally-conscious product that should appeal to shoppers who are actively interested in these types of mattresses.

Why we picked it

• The 8-inch HDMax™️ Tri-Zone™️ Support Coil System should ensure the sleeper’s hips and stomach don’t sink into the bed. This is important for spinal alignment and preventing back pain due to poor posture.
• We rated this bed at a 6.5 on our firmness scale, which should work well for many stomach sleepers, though back sleepers could also find this mattress suitable.

Stomach sleepers already tend to gravitate towards firmer beds, but if you’re looking for something exceptionally hard, the Plank Firm is a great choice.

The Plank Firm is a dual-sided mattress boasting two separate firmness options. On one side, you have the Firm option, and on the other side is the Extra-Firm feel. Beds this firm will likely appeal to heavier-set individuals. The reason for this is that the durable layers will help prevent their mid-section from sinking more than a softer model would. Plus, since the bed is dual-sided, you get the added convenience of two feels in one, allowing you to choose what feels most comfortable.

Why we love it

• This mattress is one of the firmest designs on the market, while also offering a dual-sided construction for optimal customization.
• If you run hot at night, you can choose to have the manufacturer put in an optional cooling panel to help with temperature regulation.

The Birch Natural uses organic cotton, Talalay latex, and organic wool to provide breathability and comfort for eco-friendly sleepers. The cotton is GOTS certified, while the Talalay latex is eco-INSTITUT certified for low emissions.

This hybrid has three layers above the hundreds of steel coils that support the body in all sleeping positions. The coils move separately to limit motion transfer and help with repositioning. The Birch Natural has a reinforced perimeter for edge support, allowing sleepers to spread out and sit near the edge of the bed without it sinking. The layers provide pressure relief and support, preventing your hips from falling into the bed when you sleep on your stomach.

What makes it special?

• The Birch Natural is hypoallergenic as it uses organic materials.
• The wool used in this hybrid mattress comes from individual farms in New Zealand, all of which are compliant with the PGC Wrightson Wool Integrity Program to guarantee best farming practices.
