Questions about beds and mattresses answered & stories told.

For stomach sleepers, the best type of mattress is one that provides enough support to keep the spine aligned, while also being comfortable and able to relieve pressure points. Here are a few types of mattresses that are often recommended for stomach sleepers:

1. Firm or medium-firm innerspring mattress: These mattresses provide good support and are firm enough to keep the body from sinking too far into the mattress. (True)
2. Latex mattress: Latex mattresses are supportive and contour to the body, which can help relieve pressure points. They are also generally cooler than memory foam mattresses, which can be a plus for stomach sleepers. (The best choice)
3. Hybrid mattress: A hybrid mattress combines the support of an innerspring mattress with the comfort of memory foam or latex. This type of mattress can be a good choice for stomach sleepers who need both support and pressure relief. (This is not a different category from the number 1 above)
4. Memory foam mattress: Memory foam mattresses are known for their ability to contour to the body, which can be beneficial for stomach sleepers who need pressure relief. However, some stomach sleepers may find that memory foam mattresses can be too soft and cause them to sink too far into the mattress, leading to misalignment of the spine (Usually too soft and often too hot)

Ultimately, the best type of mattress for a stomach sleeper will depend on their individual preferences and needs. It is always a good idea to try out different mattresses before making a purchase to find the one that feels most comfortable and supportive.
