Are you a stomach sleeper? If your answer is yes, consider yourself unique. According to a survey, there are only about 7% people who like to sleep on their stomach. Unlike back sleepers, who can sleep on just about any mattress, stomach sleepers need a specific comfort to sleep peacefully. The ideal firmness for stomach sleepers is between 5-7, i.e. medium firmness. Stomach sleepers need a mattress which is not too firm as it will overextend the arch of their back, and not too soft as it will not be able to provide pressure relief to the ribs and stomach. While sleeping on your stomach can reduce snoring and sleep apnea, but it’s not considered an ideal sleeping position as it strains your back and spine. Also, since this is the least preferred sleeping position, it is hard to find a mattress that can cater to your needs. But don’t worry, in this article we are not going to focus on whether it is good or bad for you to sleep on your stomach, rather we will list a few mattresses that are our top picks, which will provide enough support to your body and help you to sleep better.
