Stomach Sleepers

Best Mattress for Stomach Sleepers

Your sleeping position has a great impact on your health, as does your choice of mattress. Stomach sleepers may find it especially challenging to sleep soundly through the night due to poor spinal alignment. Though snoozing on your belly can diminish snoring and some minor cases of sleep apnea, this position is widely considered the most stressful on your body. Since most of our weight is centered in the torso area, stomach sleepers often experience neck and back pain if they’re not sleeping on a supportive mattress.

Avoiding hyperextension of the lower lumbar region is particularly important for stomach sleepers, whose hips tend to drop down in the top layers of the mattress. An extra soft mattress will allow the pelvic area to sink down too far, causing the back to arch unnaturally. Without the benefit of neutral spinal alignment, stomach sleepers often toss and turn throughout the night. Such recurring disturbances of REM sleep have negative physical and mental effects. Strategically placed pillows can alleviate back strain, but this is a short-term solution to a bigger problem.
