7 Expert-Approved Mattresses for Stomach Sleepers in 2026

If you’re a stomach sleeper, you’ve probably been told that sleeping this way can cause everything from neck and back pain to wrinkles, breathing trouble, and more. However, changing your sleeping position isn’t easy—nor is it necessarily essential. If you don’t want to switch up how you fall asleep, the best mattresses for stomach sleepers can help keep your body supported while allowing you to drift off comfortably.

According to Yash Mehta, D.O., an interventional spine and sports medicine doctor of osteopathic medicine (and self-proclaimed stomach-sleeper), you will want a firmer-than-usual mattress to help keep hips level and the belly supported at night. “A soft mattress lets your stomach and hips dip, leading to an exaggerated, painful U-shape in your back. Over time, that increased compression can lead to stiffness and pain,” he says.

Meet the Experts: Yash Mehta, D.O., an interventional spine and sports medicine doctor of osteopathic medicine, Shelby Harris, Psy.D., a licensed clinical psychologist; and Karen Litzy, P.T., D.P.T., owner of the Manhattan-based practice Karen Litzy Physical Therapy.

“Your mattress is a big deal when it comes to how well you sleep and your overall health,” says Shelby Harris, Psy.D., director of sleep at Sleepopolis. “It should keep your spine aligned and distribute your weight evenly to avoid any aches and pains. A good mattress means less tossing and turning at night, leading to better sleep…If you share your bed, it can also minimize disturbances from your partner’s movements.”

Below, we break down some of the best mattresses for stomach sleepers spoke sleep experts, as well as our own stomach-sleeping editors to determine the best mattresses for stomach sleepers based on material, support, price, and lived experience. We also considered weight capacity, warranty information, and mattress size ranges to inform our selections. Ahead, we break down some of the best mattresses for stomach sleepers for a wide range of sleep needs and budgets.

Cushioning is crucial to relieve pressure points on their chest, abdomen, and hips. Good airflow in the mattress is also important for comfortable breathing during sleep.””,”image”:”https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/2022-listicle-linebreak-1644866776.jpg”}},{“@type”:”ListItem”,”position”:14,”item”:{“name”:”Is it bad to sleep on your stomach?”,”url”:”https://www.prevention.com/health/g70395304/best-mattresses-for-stomach-sleepers/#slide-14″,”description”:”While Litzy warns that sleeping on your stomach is the least favorable position in terms of pain management, that doesn’t mean you should never sleep on your stomach. “From a pain standpoint, sleeping on your stomach can increase the likelihood of neck, back, and shoulder pain,” Litzy says. “This is because these areas tend to be in end ranges of motion for extended periods. Your neck moves into end rage rotation to one side (so you can breathe), your back moves into extension due to the weight of your body on the mattress, and your shoulders tend to be in an elevated and externally rotated position.”For shoppers who sleep best on their stomachs, both Litzy and Harris recommend opting for a firmer mattress while paying special attention to those with features to help support your hips and spine.“When it comes to mattress recommendations for stomach sleepers, look for medium to firm options that provide good support without feeling too soft,” Harris says. “Look for mattresses with memory foam or hybrid designs, as they often offer a nice balance of comfort and support. It’s less about specific brands and more about finding what feels right for you.””,”image”:”https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/2022-listicle-linebreak-1644866776.jpg”}},{“@type”:”ListItem”,”position”:15,”item”:{“name”:”How to choose the best mattresses for stomach sleepers”,”url”:”https://www.prevention.com/health/g70395304/best-mattresses-for-stomach-sleepers/#slide-15″,”description”:”Mattress type: There’s no one-size-fits-all mattress for stomach sleepers, which means you’ll want to test a variety of different styles to determine which is best for you. Our experts recommend memory foam or hybrid mattresses for people who sleep primarily on their stomachs since these styles tend to offer a firmer, more pressure-relieving feel than an innerspring bed. Mattress firmness: Both Harris, Litzy, and Mehta agree that a medium-firm to firm mattress will help promote better spinal alignment for stomach sleepers. You’ll want to find an option that keeps your hips from sinking too much to limit excess strain on your back, neck, and spine. Need a number? “I recommend looking for a mattress with a 7–10 on a 10-point firmness scale, to limit hip drop and preserve better spinal alignment,” Mehta says. Price: Your personal budget and price range should be a huge consideration when shopping for mattresses. Thankfully, you don’t have to spend thousands of dollars just to get a good night’s sleep; our list of the best mattresses for stomach sleepers includes options starting at $400. Warranty and trial period: It’ll take a few nights of sleeping on your new mattress to truly decide if it’s right for you. While our list is designed to help you narrow down your options, you’ll also want to keep in mind how long you can test it for with the option to return it and how many years your new mattress will last. In general, look for a mattress that offers at least a 90-day trial and a 10-year limited warranty. “,”image”:”https://hips.hearstapps.com/hmg-prod/images/2022-listicle-linebreak-1644866776.jpg”}},{“@type”:”ListItem”,”position”:16,”item”:{“name”:”How we chose”,”url”:”https://www.prevention.com/health/g70395304/best-mattresses-for-stomach-sleepers/#slide-16″,”description”:”Prevention conducts extensive research and works closely with experts to answer your questions about your overall health and sleep.
