Sleeping on the stomach is a comfort position. People who like sleeping in this position feel safe and secure, but their backs are sometimes not enjoying the same feeling of security and well-being. Picking the right pillow is one of the ways you can ensure you are going to be able to sleep comfortably all night long and keep your head, neck and back safe.

Having the right pillow is vital to good sleeping health, because the wrong support system can have you waking up often during the night to shift positions, or just feeling lousy in the morning. Unfortunately, finding the right stomach sleeper pillow can make a person feel a little bit like “Goldie Locks.” This one is too soft, this one is too hard and this one is too thick. Finally you find one that is just right.

Why a Pillow is So Important to Stomach Sleepers

It’s important to find that perfect pillow fast, because when you sleep on your stomach, a pillow that is too thick or hard can force your head up and curve your entire spine. That’s why people sleeping in that position often have backaches in the morning. It really isn’t as hard as it seems to pick the right stomach sleeper if you know what makes a good support pillow for that position.

Choosing a Stomach Sleeper Pillow that’s Just Right for You

When looking for a pillow for stomach sleepers, solid, firm support is important. Weak pillows that crush and flatten over time will disappoint you quickly. Even though you need a pillow that is the right thickness, support is still an issue for two reasons. The first reason is, you need to keep your head, neck and spine in a proper line for the best night’s sleep. Memory foam, gel, buckwheat and water base pillows all create the perfect support for stomach sleepers while maintaining their shape over time and heavy use.

Slim and Ultra Slim Memory Foam are Great Choices for Stomach Sleepers

Pillows that flatten out quickly will not keep your head in the right position, and you can even end up with your face mashed down toward the mattress, causing the reverse curve in the spine and even making it difficult to breathe correctly. Choosing a memory foam pillow is a little challenging, although they are a wonderful support pillow.

Most memory foam pillows are very thick and while they are great for side sleepers, they don’t provide the right amount of versatility for a stomach sleeper. If you really want memory foam, look for slim or ultra slim designs to give you the supportive padding that won’t flatten, in a thin profile pillow that won’t push you out of position while you sleep.

Gel, Buckwheat and Water Filled Pillows offer many Advantages to Stomach Sleepers

Water pillows have an inner core that can be filled to the desired level for the perfect height no matter what position you like to sleep in. Buckwheat pillows and gel pillows all have core inserts that can be opened to remove or add material as needed to give you the right sleep profile as well.

Adjustable pillows like water, buckwheat and gel also have the added advantage of being adjustable to allow you to put your arm under the pillow, or mold the pillow under a shoulder for added support. Shredded memory foam can also mold well to the body in any position, but is usually not adjustable for height. However, shredded memory foam can be a great choice for pseudo-stomach sleepers who like laying in a half-stomach, half-side position. They mold to the body, give the neck plenty of support and maintain their shape and height for years.
