Choosing your next mattress can be a long process. From the order of dozens of options and recommendations on the Internet, it can be a lot. This is why thinking about your next bed through your needs and desires is essential. Just because most stomach sleepers require a firm mattress, you should consider how firm you like your mattress before purchasing. You might want something a little sweeter than others.
Keep these key factors in mind to narrow down your search and find the best mattress.
Source of your back pain
Before buying a mattress for back pain, you must understand the source of your back pain. There’s a chance it’s yours old, sagging mattress which causes pain. If it’s something else, you should know before you buy a new bed.
Your body needs it
Considering the anatomical differences, men and women who sleep on their stomach need to consider different mattress factors. We recommend that stomach sleepers choose firmer mattresses to keep the spine in a neutral position at night. While this is true, there are some nuances that women should pay attention to when shopping for their next bed.
If you sleep flat on your stomach like a woman, you may want to stay away from firmer options to avoid chest pain. Or you can opt for a memory foam mattress that contours better to the shape of your body. It all comes down to what is comfortable for you.
Your body type
How much you weigh influences the bed you should get because it determines how you experience a mattress. Heavier people (over 230 pounds) will put more pressure on a mattress, making it feel softer. The reverse applies to petite body types (under 150 pounds); the mattresses will feel firmer.
Your body type will also help you determine what type of mattress you should get. We always recommend that heavier body types opt for a hybrid mattress. There are a lot of good all-foam mattresses that you can probably get quite well, but hybrid mattresses are more durable and long-term support.
Your budget
Your budget is the final and perhaps most important factor to consider when looking for a mattress for a stomach sleeper with back pain. Mattresses are a big investment, one that you don’t make that often.
The average mattress online costs between $850 and $1,200. Options are available for every budget from under $300 to well over $2,000.
