3 sleeping positions are traditionally adopted: on your back, on your side and on your stomach. Only about 1 in 10 people prefer to sleep on their stomach.
Although doctors generally recommend avoiding this position, sleeping on your stomach reduces snoring but often accentuates back and neck pain. If by habit, you sleep on your mattress in this position, it is very complicated to change position (especially for the position on your back). For this reason, investing in a good mattress, suitable for sleeping on your stomach remains a good solution.

To Sleep Well On Your Stomach, Why Should The Mattress Be Neither Too Soft Nor Too Firm?
A mattress that is too soft will place the sleeper in an unpleasant posture, with the back below the head and legs. With a soft mattress, you will sink your stomach and your spine will be too arched.
To prevent this, you should choose a slightly firmer mattress. The mattress should also not be too firm, as this accentuates the arch and creates tension in the lower back. To learn more about sleeping positions, read our article "What is the best sleeping position?".
Why Is The Ideal Mattress Chosen According To Your Physical Characteristics (Weight And Height)?
- The Latex Mattress:
One of the important points is the support of the mattress. The latex mattress should be chosen according to its density. We advise you to refer to the morphological chart, used for the Diamond Supreme Foam personalized mattress to find your comfort. It allows you to choose an ideal mattress for the right bed for each sleeper: a density between 70 and 75 Kg/m3 for light people and a density of 80 to 85 kg/m3 for heavier sleepers.
While support is important, it is also important to distinguish between reception. This is the first impression you get on a mattress. It must be "cocooning". A cushioned wadding or cotton cushion provides a layer of softness and helps to reduce tension in the back when sleeping on your stomach.
If you sleep in this position, your mattress is recent and you find it too firm, you can opt for a mattress topper made of wadding, micro gel or memory foam to adjust the welcome.
- The Memory Foam Mattress:
Memory foam, as the name suggests, takes the shape of your body. It molds the exact contours of your body and reduces the need for movement during sleep. If the mattress respects your curves and shapes, hugs your body regardless of the position chosen, you are stabilized and comforted in your sleeping position. Your night becomes more restorative.
- The Pocket Spring Mattress
It supports your body thanks to the springs according to your morphology. The dreamer 1000 pocket spring mattress is more recommended for sleepers who move a lot at night, less for people who sleep on their stomach.
Finally, if your mattress is too firm but recent enough (less than 10 years old), the memory foam mattress topper is a good alternative.
