Mattresses For Front Sleepers

Stomach sleepers will benefit from the following mattress types:

• Pocket spring mattresses – these mattresses have a structure consisting of hundreds of springs in individual pockets, allowing them to move independently from each other. As such, a pocket spring mattress offers support wherever your weight is, helping to reduce the risk of your body sagging into it.
• Memory foam mattresses – a memory foam mattress contours to your body, giving customised support to the pressure points on your body. They're a good mattress for a front sleeper, though it's important to ensure you buy a firmer mattress to benefit from the extra support.
• Hybrid mattresses – enjoying a restful sleep is easy when you have a hybrid mattress, as it combines the high support of a spring mattress with the unique comfort of a foam mattress. This means you get a healthy spinal alignment and enjoy all the luxury a hybrid mattress offers.

Front sleepers will benefit from a firmer mattress, which will help reduce the risk of your hips sinking and encourage natural spinal alignment for a restful night of sleep. For those who find a firm mattress too hard, we recommend a medium or medium-firm mattress, as this will still offer high levels of support while having a little more give.

Avoiding a soft mattress is important if you're a stomach sleeper. A soft mattress will cause you to sink in and arch your back, which will cause further issues.
