Best Mattress for Stomach Sleepers in 2025

Why we chose the WinkBed mattress: The WinkBed mattress reminds me of a fancy five-star hotel mattress thanks to its supportive innerspring and responsive, soft foam feel. Plus, its plush pillow top -- my favorite feature of this bed -- adds a noticeable coziness to the mattress. Stomach sleepers of all sizes will like the WinkBed mattress due to its feel, support and multiple firmness options. 

The bottommost layer of the WinkBed is a system of pocketed coils with thinner, stronger coils on the sides to enhance edge support. This layer is also zoned to help give support and pressure relief where it's needed. Above it are four layers of foam, including a "Lumbarlayer" to give additional support under the lumbar region and a fluffy gel-infused pillow top. It also has three firmness levels to choose from, so you can opt for the best level of support for you. That said, the Luxury Firm is rated a medium, and the Firmer option is around a medium firm. I recommend either firmness for most stomach sleepers. However, if you are a stomach sleeper with a sensitive chest or someone who despises firm beds, the Luxury Firm or Softer options will be better suited for you.  

Why we chose the Saatva Classic mattress: The Saatva Classic combines supportive innerspring coils with a comfort layer of memory foam on top. This great combination of features provides a stomach sleeper with the optimal bed of support. With three firmnesses to choose from, stomach sleepers should benefit from the Luxury Firm or Firm option. 

Another great aspect of the Saatva Classic is its excellent motion isolation. The comfort layer of memory foam and the pocketed coils help deaden your partner’s movements during the night. From its sturdy foundation of tempered steel coils to its layer of pocketed coils in the middle to its upper comfort foam layer and the Euro pillow top made with organic cotton, this mattress provides stomach sleepers with optimal durability and minimal motion transfer. Keep in mind that this is a very firm mattress (too firm for me), so the Soft opinion might be better suited for petite stomach sleepers or those with sensitive chests. 

Why we chose the Nolah Original mattress: Combination sleepers switch between one or more positions during the night and need a mattress with a middle-of-the-road firmness level to fully accommodate them. Given its versatility and universally comfortable feel, the Nolah Original mattress is a perfect option. We rate it a medium or around a five on our firmness scale -- which should appeal to stomach sleepers who switch to their side during the night or petite stomach sleepers looking for a softer mattress.

The Nolah Original is soft enough to relieve pressure around your shoulders and hips when on your side, and your spine won’t sag into the mattress when you’re on your stomach. It’s 10 inches tall and features a layer of comfort-conforming AirFoam and a zoned AirFoam layer, which has billions of microscopic air bubbles -- making it more durable than traditional memory foam. As a stomach sleeper that often switches to my side, this is my favorite mattress on this list. It’s affordable, has a neutral foam feel and is slightly cool to the touch. Most importantly, I can comfortably switch from one position to another. 

Because the Nolah Original is made with all foam, we recommend it for side and stomach sleepers who are on the lighter side. If you want a Nolah bed with more support, check out the Nolah Original Hybrid, which includes a strong base of steel Tri-Zone coils rather than foam.

Why we chose the Helix Plus mattress: Plus-sized stomach sleepers require a mattress that is extremely supportive, thick, durable and, of course, comfortable. The Helix Plus is a quality choice that won't break the bank. It’s over 11 inches tall, with a thick primary support layer and an XL system of pocketed coils -- they are longer and stronger than the coils inside the average hybrid bed. Heavy stomach sleepers will undoubtedly be supported on this bed. 

The top two layers of foam include high-density memory foam and contouring, comfort foam. While you might think this gives Helix Plus a strong memory foam feel, it's actually more neutral and responsive than traditional dense, stuck-in-the-mud memory foam. I find this bed to feel very uniform, meaning that I can’t feel the coils poking out or determine one layer from the other while I’m lying on the bed. This is a huge plus, as some hybrid beds can feel like multiple materials slabbed together rather than one solid bed. The Helix Plus also lands around a seven out of 10 on our scale, making it a great medium-firm mattress for plus-size sleepers. You also have the option to add a cooling GlacioTex pillow top, which I recommend for hot sleepers like myself.  

Why we chose the Purple Restore Hybrid mattress: If you're looking for a truly unique bed that provides the support and comfort of a hybrid mattress but also gives you a weightless feel, Purple is the one for you. The Purple Restore mattress is made with a GelFlex grid that has airy support, comfort foam and pocketed coils. I like that this mattress cradles me firmly but has more give than dense memory foam.

I describe the Purple Restore as having a “weightless” feel simply because the open-cell grid effortlessly supports me. When you push down on the bed with your fists, it feels soft and spongy. Yet, when you lie on your stomach, the Purple Restore pushes up under you, supporting your spine. However, memory foam haters can be at ease. It doesn’t feel dense like traditional memory foam. The material has more give, and I can easily turn from my stomach to my side. This design also makes the bed very breathable, which is great for hot sleepers like myself. The Purple Restore comes in Soft and Firm options, and I think Firm would work for most stomach sleepers. 

Why we chose the Bear Original mattress: For memory foam lovers who love a good value, the Bear Original mattress is one of the best in class. Its layers are made with high-density support foam on the bottom for support and durability, Responsive Transition Foam for pressure relief and Cooling Graphite-Gel Memory Foam for temperature regulation. You also have the option to add Bear’s breathable Celliant-infused cover.

We rated the Bear Original around a medium to medium-firm or a six out of 10 on the firmness scale. In addition to its firmness, it has a classic memory foam feel that hugs and contours around your body's curves. When lying on my stomach, I stay directly on top of the mattress, hardly sinking in at all. As a petite stomach sleeper, I found this bed to be firmer than the Saatva Classic. This mattress is best for stomach sleepers under 230 pounds because this all-foam model isn’t supportive enough for heavier people. If you are interested in Bear hybrid mattresses, the Bear Elite Hybrid is a great option. 

Why we chose the Allswell mattress: Stomach sleepers looking for the ultimate deal should consider the very affordable Allswell mattress. You can buy the Allswell directly from Walmart, where a queen-size model costs around $290. It is very rare to find a hybrid mattress under $1,000, let alone $500. Additionally, this medium-firm mattress is a supportive sleeping surface for stomach sleepers. 

The Allswell mattress is 10 inches thick and has three layers of foam (high-density, gel and comfort) sandwiched between the pocketed coil base layer and the knitted top cover. The bottommost layer is high-density foam for an even sturdier base. It's a simple mattress with a slightly firmer profile. We rated it around a six out of 10 on the firmness scale, somewhere around medium to medium-firm. 

When lying on my stomach, I stayed more on top of the bed rather than sinking in like soft memory foam, a plus for stomach or back sleepers looking for a supportive bed. It's a responsive mattress with comfortable foam that bounces back quickly to pressure, making it easy to switch positions. It reminds me of a traditional innerspring bed, with the added cushion of foam layers.
