What mattress firmness is right for front sleepers?
Front sleepers should always opt for a medium-firm or firm mattress. This level of tension provides the necessary resistance to keep your abdomen lifted and your spine naturally aligned.
We strongly advise against soft mattresses, as they allow your midsection to sink too far into the mattress surface. Similarly, you should avoid extra-firm mattresses, as they can be too rigid and won't allow your body to settle naturally. However, this can also depend on your weight, as if you're of a heavier build, you'll need a firmer mattress to absorb pressure. If that's the case, take a look at our collection of mattresses for heavy people.
Our Mattress Firmness Guide can also give you more insight into the different types of firmness and which one is best for you.
Which mattress types are best for stomach sleepers?
There are a lot of different types of mattresses out there, so knowing which one is suited to your sleeping position can be hard. At MattressNextDay, we stock all types of mattresses, but these are the main ones featured in this collection that you should consider if you sleep on your front:
Reflex Foam: An excellent choice for front sleepers. Reflex foam contours to your shape like memory foam, but it is denser and compresses less. This ensures your body stays aligned without the 'sinking' feeling, and it bounces back to its original shape faster, preventing sagging over time.
Pocket Sprung: A firm pocket-sprung mattress uses individually wrapped springs to react to your specific pressure points, keeping your chest and abdomen perfectly supported without feeling 'suffocated' by excess cushioning.
Hybrid Mattresses: If you want a bit of surface comfort, a hybrid mattress pairs the robust support of pocket springs with a thin, comforting top layer (like gel or light memory foam) to cushion your ribs and knees without compromising your posture.
