If you’re a primary stomach sleeper or you’re someone who ends up sleeping on your stomach most nights, then this might be the perfect video for you. In it, we’ll talk about the best mattresses for strict or primary stomach sleepers. I’m assuming that if you’re a stomach sleeper, you want something that will be a bit firmer on the spectrum. So, we’ll talk about six beds, and I may go rather quickly, but stick around. Let’s get into the best mattresses for stomach sleepers.
Best Mattresses for Stomach Sleepers
To find the right bed for you, all right, so before I get into each pick on this best list, I want to preface this by saying that the mattress brands did send us these beds for free to test out and tell you about them. However, we compiled this list completely ourselves. We thought long and hard about which beds would work great for stomach sleepers, so that’s exactly what we’ll present to you now.
But let’s get right into this and talk about the policies you’ll be backed by if you decide to order any of these mattresses online. First, if you order any of these beds, they will ship to you completely free. Most of them are bed-in-a-box mattresses.
I believe one will get to you with a process called White Glove delivery, but I’ll talk about that a little bit more when I talk about that specific bed. But once you order any one of these beds online, they’ll be shipped right to your house, and you’ll have a sleep trial of at least 100 nights to test the bed out in the comfort of your own home and formulate whether or not you want to keep it or send it back within that trial period. All but one come with free returns, but hopefully you do enjoy these mattresses; if so, they’re backed by at least a 10-year warranty.
Now, some beds on this list will have bigger night trials or warranties, so if you want to learn about anything related to those policy details, check the description below because we’ll have helpful links to each bed.
1. Plank Mattress by Brooklyn Bedding
Let’s start this list with one of our favourite picks for strict stomach sleepers: the Plank mattress by Brooklyn Bedding. Now, the Plank mattress is one of the firmest beds we’ve ever tried out over here at the Slumber Yard, so that’s pretty much the reason it’s making this list if you’re looking for a bed that’s going to be extra firm for your stomach sleeping needs, this will be right up your alley.
Now, if you decide to go the route of Plank, they have two different mattress models to choose from. You have the Plank Firm, an all-foam bed that obviously uses foam as its main support layer, and then you have the Plank Firm Lux, which swaps that foam out with pocketed coils. And that might provide a little bit more bounce and support for extra heavier individuals. We recommend that anyone over the 200 to 250-pound range look into a bed with pocketed coils because it will provide a little more airflow and long-term durability for bigger body types.
Now, in terms of construction, no matter which Plank option you choose, these beds will be flippable, so they’ll have two different firmness options in one bed. If you go the route of the Plank Firm, which is their all-foam model, the firm side sits right around a medium firm on our firmness scale, so it should work for all sleepers, especially stomach sleepers. However, it will be even firmer if you flip it over, coming in at a solid firm on our scale. Now, if you go the route of the Plank Firm Lux, which has pocketed coils, the firm side is right around a medium on our scale, so it should work for all sleepers as well, but if you flip it over, it’ll be even firmer, coming in at a solid firm on our scale.
Now, when it comes to the Plank Firm Lux, you do have the option of White Glove delivery, so that means that the mattress will actually be delivered and set up in your home for you, which is a nice little added bonus. And if you do decide to go the route of either Plank model, you will have a 120-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty to back you up.
2. Nest Alexander Signature Hybrid
Moving on to our next pick, we have the Nest Alexander Signature Hybrid. Now, the Nest Alexander is a bit of a different beast than some other beds on this list because it has a memory foam comfort layer. Now, usually, we wouldn’t recommend memory foam for stomach sleepers because it tends to sink and hug your body, which can cause some spinal misalignment. However, the Nest Alexander has a couple of features that make it work for stomach sleepers.
First and foremost, the memory foam comfort layer is infused with a cooling gel, which should help keep you from overheating throughout the night, a common problem with memory foam. And second, the memory foam layer is pretty thin, so it shouldn’t cause too much sinkage and hug. Now, in terms of firmness, the Nest Alexander sits right around a medium-firm on our scale, so it should work for all sleepers, including stomach sleepers.
Regarding the construction of this bed, it has a pocketed coil support layer, which should provide good airflow and a little bounce. It also has a high-density foam base layer, which should provide a good foundation for the pocketed coils and the memory foam. And when it comes to the policies that back the Nest Alexander, you’ll have a 120-night sleep trial and a lifetime warranty to back you up.
3. Nolah Original
Next up, we have the Nolah Original. Now, the Nolah Original is an all-foam bed, and it’s made with a proprietary foam called Nolah AirFoam. Now, the thing that sets this foam apart from regular polyfoam is that it’s supposed to be more breathable and cooler than regular polyfoam, which is a big plus for stomach sleepers because they tend to get hot throughout the night. In terms of firmness, the Nolah Original sits right around a medium firm on our scale, so it should work for all sleepers, including stomach sleepers.
When it comes to the construction of the Nolah Original, it has a three-layer design. The top layer is the Nolah AirFoam comfort layer, the middle layer is a transitional foam layer, and the bottom layer is a high-density foam base layer. This design should provide a good balance of comfort and support, especially for stomach sleepers.
Regarding policies, the Nolah Original comes with a 120-night sleep trial and a 15-year warranty. It also has free returns within the sleep trial period.
5. Awara Sleep Mattress
Our next pick is the Awara Sleep mattress. The Awara Sleep mattress is a hybrid bed, meaning it has both foam and coils in its construction. The top layer is a comfort layer made of natural Dunlop latex, a type of foam known for its durability and bounciness. The middle layer is a transitional foam layer, and the bottom layer is a support layer made of pocketed coils. This design should provide a good balance of comfort and support, especially for stomach sleepers.
In terms of firmness, the Awara Sleep mattress sits right around a medium firm on our scale, so it should work for all sleepers, including stomach sleepers. In terms of policies, the Awara Sleep mattress comes with a 365-night sleep trial and a lifetime warranty. It also has free returns within the sleep trial period.
6. Bear Hybrid
Next up, we have the Bear Hybrid. The Bear Hybrid is another hybrid bed, meaning it has both foam and coils in its construction. The top layer is a comfort layer made of a combination of memory foam and gel-infused foam, which should provide a good balance of comfort and cooling. The middle layer is a transitional foam layer, and the bottom layer is a support layer made of pocketed coils. This design should provide a good balance of comfort and support, especially for stomach sleepers.
In terms of firmness, the Bear Hybrid sits right around a medium firm on our scale, so it should work for all sleepers, including stomach sleepers. Regarding policies, the Bear Hybrid comes with a 100-night sleep trial and a 10-year warranty. It also has free returns within the sleep trial period.
Last but not least, we have the Saatva HD. The Saatva HD is a hybrid bed specifically designed for heavier individuals, meaning it’s suitable for people who weigh over 300 pounds. It has a comfort layer made of memory foam, a transitional foam layer, and a support layer made of pocketed coils. This design should provide a good balance of comfort and support, especially for stomach sleepers.
In terms of firmness, the Saatva HD sits right around a medium firm on our scale, so it should work for all sleepers, including stomach sleepers. In terms of policies, the Saatva HD comes with a 180-night sleep trial and a 15-year warranty. It also has free returns within the sleep trial period.
