Stomach sleepers are rare – they form the smallest group of sleeping positions. They prefer to sleep completely flat and either have their arms stretched out or tucked under their head. Stomach sleepers move around a lot at night and change their position very frequently.
The right pillow for stomach sleepers
The pillow should not be too high for stomach sleepers, otherwise the cervical spine will be overstretched. To ensure that the head can still be positioned comfortably, down, natural hair or fibre pillows with removable filling material are recommended for stomach sleepers, such as the HEINZI stomach sleeper pillow from billerbeck, which can be filled individually. This allows you to reduce the amount of fibre filling to create a flat pillow that is still comfortable.

Which mattress is best for stomach sleepers?
Stomach sleepers find it very difficult to sleep on soft mattresses. A mattress that is too soft allows the spine to sag and also leads to a bent posture. A mattress that is too hard does not allow the body to sink in properly, which leads to a kink in the spine. Mattresses with a variable firmness level and a surface that is not too firm and point-elastic are therefore recommended for stomach sleepers. The body is perfectly supported in the lumbar zone, the pelvis does not sag and the spine is relaxed.

The right slatted frame for stomach sleepers
For stomach sleepers, it is very important that the slatted frame used has a centre zone reinforcement. This means that each individual slat can be adjusted to be firmer or softer using the sliders on both sides. Stomach sleepers should set all sliders to maximum firmness. This prevents the pelvis from sinking in too deeply and creating a hollow back, which can lead to back pain.
