What mattresses are best for stomach sleepers?

Most stomach sleepers require a more supportive mattress in order to keep their spine aligned and in the proper neutral position. Improper spinal alignment is one of the most common causes of pressure points and pain for stomach sleepers.

The ideal firmness range for stomach sleepers varies depending on your exact weight.

  • Lightweight stomach sleepers under 150 lbs. are generally best suited with a mattress firmness of 5-6 out of 10.
  • Moderate-weighted stomach sleepers between 150-250 tend to do better with a mattress firmness between 6-7 out of 10.
  • Heavier-weighted stomach sleepers over 250 typically need a firmness of 7-8 out of 10.

Our recommendations below include a range of firmnesses. Be sure to check the specific firmness ratings so you can find a mattress with the right support for your body weight.

The table below is a quick reference guide on which mattress models have firmnesses appropriate to which types of bodies.

Why It’s Best

The WinkBed mattress is a hybrid mattress that uses pocketed coils and a layer of gel-infused foam to provide comfort and support, with a Euro top cover. It offers a balanced feel with high-quality materials and is available in three different firmnesses.

Light to moderate-weighted stomach sleepers may be well-suited for the Luxury Firm mattress or for heavier stomach sleepers, I would recommend the Firmer or Winkbed Plus versions.

This mattress has a fantastic performance score of 9.95 overall, which ranks it in the top 1% among all hybrid mattresses as well as the top 1% among all mattress types we’ve tested. The Winkbed costs $1499 for a queen, which is 15% higher than the average price for a hybrid mattress.

But for many sleepers, the value stays high because of the higher performance. Winkbed’s score of 9.95 is significantly above the average score of all hybrids (9.48).

Type: Hybrid
Firmness: Soft (4), Medium-Firm (6), Slightly Firm (7)

Winkbed Performance

In our performance tests, the Winkbed had exceptional performance across the board, one of the best performance sets we’ve seen to date. Cooling is exceptional with fast material response time and excellent edge support.

There was only 2.25″ of sinkage when seated directly at the edge of the mattress. This level of support is great for stomach sleepers as well as any other sleeping position for that matter.

Despite the fast response and moderate level of bounce, motion transfer was still very low. The combination of 5″ foam layers and a pocketed coil base allows motion to be absorbed into the layers while also providing exceptional support.

For stomach sleepers, the Winkbed mattress really is the whole package. It has a deeper level of sinkage, but maintains spinal alignment, even when sleeping on your stomach.

For Sleepers Over 250 lbs.

The Winkbed Plus mattress is specifically designed for heavier-weighted sleepers, over 250 lbs. It has a slightly firm feel (7 out of 10), similar to the Winkbed Original in the Firmer option.

Compared to the Original, the Winkbed Plus does have higher levels of motion transfer. This is likely due to the greater level of support and firmness.

As mentioned above, the Winkbed Original has 5” of comfort material which helps to absorb that motion. Motion transfer aside, this mattress is built to support heavier sleepers more effectively and maintain that neutral spine alignment.

  • 365-night trial period

  • Recommended Firmness: Luxury Firm or Firm

Why It’s Best

The Saatva Classic is a coil-on-coil mattress meaning that it uses two layers of coils, topped with a small amount of comfort foam within a euro-top.

Coil-on-coil is a great option for stomach sleepers since the coils provide fantastic support while still allowing for pressure relief and proper spinal alignment.

This mattress has a fantastic performance score of 9.95 overall, which ranks it in the top 1% among all coil mattresses as well as the top 1% among all mattress types we’ve tested. Saatva costs $1,680 for a queen, which is right at the average, comparing all coil mattresses tested to date.

Type: Coil
Firmness: Soft (3.5), Medium (5.5), Firm (8)

Saatva Performance

The performance of the Saatva Classic is on-par with the highest-performing mattresses we’ve tested to date.

It has a coil-on-coil design with a plush Euro cover. The sinkage is deep, about as deep as the Winkbed Original, but cooling is exceptional and the mattress has an extremely fast response time.

Edge support is also exceptional, with only 3.0″ of sinkage when sitting right at the edge of the mattress. Because of the coil design, the Saatva Classic has higher levels of bounce—14.67″, which is over 50% more than the average level of bounce (9.67″).

Bounce tends to be a preferential factor as some sleepers like more bounce than others.

All factors considered, the Saatva is a great option for many types of sleepers. I would recommend the Luxury Firm for lightweight stomach sleepers and the Firm for heavier stomach sleepers.

Our Verdict

The Zenhaven mattress is a 10″ latex foam mattress with a flippable design. The Gentle Firm side has a slightly firm feel with a firmness of 7.5 out of 10 (where 10 is the most firm). The Luxury Plush side has a medium feel with a firmness of 5 out of 10.

Overall performance on the Zenhaven was exceedingly impressive. The latex Zenhaven uses is unusually airy, creating a significant level of air outflow from the side panel each time you move around on the mattress. This creates fantastic cooling and breathability in a material that already resists heat retention.

It’s a more expensive mattress to be sure, but it’s also arguably the best all-foam latex mattress we’ve tested to date. Latex offers a unique feel alongside incredible durability and longevity. All latex mattresses can go 15-25 years.

Type: Latex Foam
Firmness: Flippable; Slightly Firm (7.5) and Medium (5)

Zenhaven Performance

Performance on the Zenhaven is very high and the highest-scoring latex foam mattress for stomach sleepers.

Response times were effectively instant, with strong edge support, good sex, and good pressure relief.

Motion was also surprisingly low, which is unusual for latex. In the case of Zenhaven, the materials used are designed for better motion control, an issue that latex mattresses tend to struggle with.

  • Lifetime limited warranty
  • Recommended Firmness: Luxury Firm (5.5) or Firm (8)

Why It’s Best

The Nolah Evolution 15″ mattress is a high-profile hybrid mattress that uses a blend of poly foam and pocketed coils for comfort and support.

It comes in three different firmness levels—plush, luxury firm, and firm, although for stomach sleepers I’d recommend sticking with the Luxury Firm or Firm for optimal support.

This is another solid pick for stomach sleepers. It has a performance score of 9.77 overall, ranking it in the top 5% of all mattresses tested to date.

With 6″ of comfort material, the pressure relief on the Evolution is just exceptional, while still being firm enough to provide proper spinal alignment when sleeping on your stomach.

Type: Hybrid
Firmness: Soft (4), Medium (5.5), or Firm (8)

Nolah Evolution 15 Performance

Performance on the Nolah Evolution 15 is well-suited for a range of stomach sleepers, regardless of sleeper weight. Cooling is exceptional and with a fast material response time and moderate levels of bounce.

Despite having 6″ of material above the pocketed coils, the Nolah is an active and engaging mattress with exceptional pressure relief for stomach sleepers.

One consideration that may or may not be important to you is higher levels of motion transfer. In our tests, we measured 38% higher levels of motion transfer than average.

If you sleep with a partner or are just a more sensitive sleeper, motion transfer may be more or less important to you.

Why It’s Best

The Helix Midnight Luxe mattress is a 14″ thick hybrid mattress with pocketed coils, gel memory foam, and transitional poly foam. It also has an optional cooling cover you can add for $199 for additional cooling performance.

This mattress has a fantastic performance score of 9.76 overall, which ranks it in the top 7% among all mattresses we’ve tested to date, and is an excellent option for stomach sleepers.

The 5″ comfort material provides good comfort and support and a medium-firm feel would be a good choice for lightweight to moderate-weighted stomach sleepers.

Type: Hybrid
Firmness: Medium-Firm (6)

Helix Midnight Luxe Performance

Performance on the Helix Midnight Luxe mattress is great all-around, with no real weak spots to mention. Motion transfer levels were very low, while still retaining a very fast response time.

With 5″ of comfort material, pressure relief was great and edge support as well. In our tests, we measured 4.0″ of sinkage when sitting directly at the edge, which is 6% less sinkage than average.

Quick Specs

  • 12″ thick with a quilted cover
  • 365-night trial period
  • Lifetime limited warranty
  • Recommended Firmness: Firm

Why It’s Best

The Nest Bedding Sparrow is a high-performing hybrid mattress with a 12″ profile and a quilted cover. It is available in three firmness levels, making it a solid pick for many kids of sleepers.

For stomach sleepers specifically, I would recommend the Medium or Firm (heavier weights should opt for the Firm).

This mattress has a performance score of 9.76, which ranks it in the top 7% of all mattresses tested to date.

It is $1,918 for a queen-size mattress, which is a bit beyond the average for other mattresses in this guide. But that being said, the Sparrow’s firmness ranges, lifetime renewal exchange program, and internal firmness split are all compelling advantages.

The primary reason I like the Sparrow is the internal firmness split (King size only). This allows you to get different firmnesses on each side of the mattress, while the mattress still looks and feels like a whole single mattress.

This option allows sleepers of different body weights, sleeping positions, and preferences to all achieve their preferences.

Type: Hybrid
Firmness: Extra Soft (3.5), Medium (5), Firm (8)

Nest Bedding Sparrow Performance

Performance on the Nest Bedding Sparrow mattress is impressive in all categories we test for. It has low levels of motion transfer and a fast response time.

Despite being only a 12″ mattress, the pressure relief was on par with many other thicker mattresses.

It also has the advantage of split internal split firmness. This allows sleepers to select different firmnesses for each side of the mattress. For couples that do not have the same sleeper preferences, this is a great option.

Why It’s Best

The Ghostbed Flex mattress is a 13″ hybrid with a 1.5″ quilted cooling cover. It uses a combination of memory foam and a latex-like poly foam to achieve a slightly softer feel and less bounce than the GhostBed Classic.

This mattress has a great performance score of 9.72 overall, which ranks it in the top 14% among all mattresses we’ve tested to date.

It comes in a single firmness, medium-firm (6 out of 10) which is suitable for lightweight or moderate-weighted stomach sleepers.

Type: Hybrid
Firmness: Medium-Firm (6)

GhostBed Flex Performance

Performance on the Ghostbed Flex is fantastic across the board, with great cooling, low levels of motion transfer, and a fast response time.

It is a 13″ thick mattress, but only has 2″ of comfort material within that thickness. This could be insufficient for heavier stomach sleepers, but sleepers under 200 lbs. would likely find it comfortable and supportive.

Considering more preferential factors, the Flex has moderate sinkage, and slightly more bounce than average (10% above average).

The Bear Elite hybrid mattress is a 14″ tall hybrid with copper-infused memory foam and a pocketed coil base. For lightweight stomach sleepers, I would recommend the Medium version of this mattress, and for heavier stomach sleepers, I’d recommend the Firm.

Overall, the Bear Elite mattress has a fantastic performance score of 9.72, which ranks it in the top 14% among all mattresses we’ve tested to date, a tie with the GhostBed Flex listed above.

While Bear isn’t quite to the same performance level as Winkbed, it’s not far off. That said, it is about $200 less expensive than Winkbed, so if you’re okay giving up a little performance (mostly to do with sitting edge support) you can save some money and still get an amazing mattress.

Bear Elite Performance

Performance on the Bear Elite hybrid is fantastic, with scores of perfect 10s for excellent cooling, low levels of motion transfer, and extremely fast response time.

The combination of poly foam, memory foam, and coils provides a balanced feel that is responsive, yes still provides good hug and contour as well.

It has moderate levels of sinkage and higher levels of bounce, 7% more bounce than the average of all mattresses we’ve tested.

This mattress has 5″ of comfort foam which provides great pressure relief for all sleeping positions and really helps maintain that neutral spinal position.

Our Verdict

The Birch mattress is an organic hybrid mattress that is a blend of pocketed coils, 2″ Talalay latex, and quilted cover, making it a great option for stomach sleepers looking for a natural or organic mattress.

It has an overall performance score of 9.72, which is higher than the average mattress score by 0.21 of a point. The firmer feel tends to provide better support for moderate to heavier stomach sleepers, compared to lightweight sleepers.

In addition, the performance of the Birch is very well-rounded, with no real weak points to speak of.

Type: Latex Hybrid
Firmness: Slightly Firm (7)

Birch Performance

Performance on the Birch latex hybrid is fantastic overall. It scored perfect 10s for excellent cooling, fast response time, and fast off-gassing.

Motion transfer was equally as impressive, with 30% less motion than what we’ve measured on average (across all mattresses tested to date).

Considering subjective factors, this mattress has a moderate level of sinkage and high levels of bounce (45.5% more bounce than average).

Despite having only 2″ of comfort material above the coils, the Birch mattress is designed to support sleepers up to 500 lbs. per side.
