10 Best Mattresses for Stomach Sleepers, Tested & Reviewed

Not only is this Saatva mattress the best overall mattress according to GH experts, but it's our top choice for stomach sleepers thanks to its traditional innerspring design. Available in three firmness levels, shoppers can choose between Plush Soft, Luxury Firm or Firm. According to our pros, Luxury Firm should be ideal for most stomach sleepers seeking adequate support without an overly hard feel. On top of the mattresses' affordable price and high-quality design, purchases come with a 365-day trial and free white glove delivery and setup.

What it's made of: This Saatva is a classic innerspring mattress built with individual steel coils to provide support and airflow throughout the night. It's not made entirely of foam like most mattresses available online today, but it does feature a pillowtop surface and a layer of foam to aid with pressure relief and provide extra cushioning.

Tester notes: Made of materials that are built to last, the Saatva Classic Mattress earned top marks from our consumer tester panel, with more than 100 reviewers giving it high ratings for support, comfort and overall sleep quality. "I like that it's soft and supportive. Other mattresses cause me back pain, but this one does not," said one tester. Testers also raved about the mattresses' edge support as well as the brand's excellent customer service.

This mattress combines great value with a not-too-soft feel that's perfect for stomach snoozers. Constructed of dense foam and individually wrapped coils for extra support and reduced motion transfer, this boxed mattress doesn't sacrifice comfort, according to our experts. Also, this style is the brand's firmest mattress (and one of the best firm mattresses you'll find on the market). It's an excellent choice for someone who wants to spend under $1000.

What it's made of: The Brick's interior features a layer of individual coils, 2 inches of high-density foam and 1 inch of copper-infused memory foam that the brand claims draws heat away from your body. It's all topped with a quilted outer cover.

Tester notes: Allswell mattresses have performed well in evaluations across the board. Most testers found the setup of this boxed model to be easy, while others gave it top scores for comfort and support. One panelist, who gave it top scores in every category, likes its “firmness and thickness" and had zero issues transitioning from an innerspring mattress. One caveat: The edge support could be improved.

Though you may be a stomach sleeper most of the time, it's common for people to change positions throughout the night. Our Lab experts love the Tempur-Cloud for those combination sleepers who also need a mattress for side sleepers (or have a partner that does!). Renowned for its pressure-relieving foam, the TEMPUR-Cloud conforms to your body and promotes neutral spine alignment by cradling your hips and shoulders. According to our pros, it has a medium firness that's not too soft for stomach sleepers. While it's pricey, one could argue that you can't put a price tag on comfort.

What it's made of: This Tempur-Pedic mattress is built with three layers of foam, starting with a supportive bottom base layer, a firm layer in the middle and a soft, cushioning foam on top.

Tester notes: This mattress received high scores for comfort, support and overall sleep quality among testers. Several reviewers were impressed by its motion isolation, claiming they couldn't feel partners move throughout the night, while others raved about the bed's luxurious feel. "It's like sleeping on a cloud," one tester said.

If your current mattress is causing you to wake up sore, this hybrid mattress from Nolah can make all the difference when it comes to alleviating back and hip pain. According to our testers, the pressure-relieving foam feels incredible. Our pros also like the all-foam Nolah Original 10" as a more affordable option, but we think the Evolution 15" is a better choice for stomach sleepers who require a firmer mattress. Just note that for some, it still may not be firm enough.

What it's made of: This 15-inch mattress contains multiple layers, including a cool-to-the-touch 2-inch cover, 2 inches of graphite-infused foam, 2 additional inches of supportive foam, 1 inch of high-density foam and a final bed of coils that sit over a base layer.

Tester notes: Several testers who suffer from back and hip pain found that this mattress helped relieve pain by cushioning "pressure points" and reducing soreness compared to other beds they've used. Others note that the foam felt supportive, though also point out that the mattress lacked edge support. The "foam bounces back to retain its support even when changing positions," one tester said.

Couples who can't agree on a mattress will find compromise in this perfectly balanced medium-feel mattress. Not only is it the ideal firmness for stomach sleepers or combination sleepers that move throughout the night, but its hybrid construction means you'll get the support you need. It features zoned sections and layers of foam and coils for optimal support and pressure relief. Hot sleepers will also be grateful for the optional moisture-wicking cover add-on.

What it's made of: This mattress is made of three layers of foam for comfort and support as well as a coil system and foam base layer underneath. Each coil is strategically placed to create an ergonomic design that's meant to promote spinal alignment. For an extra fee, you can even add a cooling cover.

Tester notes: From comfort to support to overall sleep quality, testers rated this mattress highly. Several noted that they felt supported no matter what sleep position they were in. "It's a good mix for me (a side sleeper) and my partner (a back sleeper)," one tester shared. Just keep in mind that some testers point out that the mattress is heavy and harder to move around and it lacks side handles.

A firm mattress is recommended for stomach sleepers because it helps promote spinal alignment. The Estate Collection from Stearns & Foster offers mattresses in various firmness levels, and its "firm" is labeled as 9 out of 10 on a firmness scale. We also like that this style is carefully constructed with a complex coil system to offer support through the night, and we appreciate that it's made with high-end materials like a Tencel outer cover. On top of that, in-home delivery and setup are included and you can opt to add a pillowtop when making your purchase.

What it's made of: This mattress is made with the brand's proprietary Intellicoil system that uses two coils in one as well as several layers of Tempur-Pedic memory foam. A moisture-wicking, smooth outer cover encases the mattress.

Why we like it: The Estate Mattress is on the more expensive side, but testers gave it high scores for sleep quality. Several who like a firmer feel were especially pleased with the mattresses, noting the high level of support. "I love how firm and structured the mattress felt," one tester shares.

Featuring nearly 16,000 reviews and an average 4.4-star rating on Amazon, this boxed mattress will arrive right at your doorstep thanks to Prime delivery. Our pros like that it's a more affordable alternative to other pricey mattresses, yet it's still comfortable and doesn't feel overly plush or overly stiff. It lives up to its medium-firm rating which is perfect for stomach sleepers who like a supportive yet resilient mattress that contours to the body.

What it's made of: Made with only two layers of foam, this simple mattress features a bottom layer of firmer, supportive foam and softer foam on top to provide pressure relief.

Tester notes: Reviewers found the mattress easy to set up and comfy to sleep on, with several particularly happy with its all-foam design. It earned high scores across the board. "My husband and I both experience much less back pain," says one tester who has used the mattress for over five years. Testers raved about how comfortable is, its excellent motion isolation and Tuft & Needle's friendly and responsive customer service. One flaw: Several users wish the mattress had better edge support so you don't sink in when getting in or out of bed.

If you've heard of mattresses in a box, chances are that you've heard of Casper mattresses. The brand's Original Mattress is a favorite among Lab experts and testers alike for its soft foam cushioning that offers support, alignment and breathability. It's also a popular choice for its fast shipping and convenient DIY setup. (The mattress is lighter than many hybrid models on the market.) While the model has a medium-firm feel, our experts do warn that foam mattresses may still be too soft for some stomach sleepers.

What it's made of: The Casper Original Mattress is made of three layers of foam: the brand's signature AirScape (foam with small perforations to increase breathability), memory foam with zoned support to help ensure proper spine alignment and a supportive base foam to prevent any sinking or sagging.

Tester notes: More than 100 testers said they love their Casper mattress for its overall comfort, support, ease of buying and affordable price. Some like that it conforms to the body, while others can't get enough of how comfortable it is. "It is extremely comfy — so comfy that we bought two more for other beds," says one tester. Testers also point out its great motion isolation and how it holds its shape over time.

Sleep like a bear on this exceptionally comfortable mattress made with a combination of pressure-relieving coils and plush foam. While it's a newer model, testers are thus far impressed with its ergonomic construction that promotes proper spinal alignment and features targeted zones for cushioning in the right areas like the back and hips.

What it's made of: Like other hybrid mattresses, this model combines both foam and coils for the perfect balance. There's a base layer containing high-density foam, a layer of individually pocketed coils and several layers of foam on top, all encased in a quilted cover with Celliant fibers. Bear says that Celliant uses infrared technology to promote recovery, but we haven’t been able to verify these claims in our evaluations.

Tester notes: Testers claim that their sleep quality improved over time when sleeping on this Bear mattress, noting that it felt both comfortable and supportive. "I suffer from back pain and with this mattress, I wake up pain-free," says one tester. According to our pros, it feels instantly comfortable and has a traditional bounce that some users love in a mattress.

The Avocado Green earns its name for being made with natural and organic materials. It's certified by the Global Organic Latex Standard (GOLS) and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), meaning that the entire manufacturing process follows strict guidelines. Even better, it earned some of the highest scores among our tester panel for improving sleep quality. Its latex foam construction is a fantastic alternative for anyone who likes the feel of foam but doesn't want to sink in too much. That's a win-win for stomach sleepers seeking a "floating feel." Other reasons to go green include a generous year-long trial period and top-notch customer service. Keep in mind that the model is on the firmer side, but a built-in pillowtop layer can be added for more softness.

What it's made of: You'll find a mixture of wool, cotton and latex, or a natural foam from the rubber tree, within this bed. There's a cotton outer cover that binds layers together, followed by an organic wool layer for natural temperature regulation with 3 inches of organic Dunlop latex as well as ergonomically situated coils on the latex base.

Tester notes: This mattress doesn't skimp on quality, according to our testers. Users loved sleeping on it and claimed the brand's customer service couldn't be better. "It's extremely comfortable and has held up even after two years," one tester said. Testers also appreciate that it's made of organic and natural materials.
