The best mattress for stomach sleepers prioritises spinal alignment. Look for hybrid models with firmness and lumbar support; memory foam and coils work well together.

Stomach sleepers should aim for medium-firm mattresses (6-6.5 on a 10-point scale), unless you’re heavier or plus-sized, in which case firmer may be better to avoid sinking.

Pillows are crucial: opt for thin, low-loft designs that keep the head and neck aligned with the spine. Some might go without pillows if their mattress is supportive enough from top to bottom.

Experiment with your sleeping position; adjusting arms or legs can help maintain alignment. Body pillows also come in handy for maintaining proper posture during sleep.
