I’ve always been a dedicated stomach sleeper, even though it may not be the best sleeping position for your neck and back. Stomach sleeping is one of the most challenging positions for maintaining spinal alignment, so if you prefer sleeping this way, it’s essential to use a good low-loft pillow to stay comfortable all night.
Over six weeks, I rotated through nine popular models to crown the best pillow for stomach sleepers. I adjusted their fill, evaluated the support and took more than my fair share of naps to figure out which pillows are best for giving stomach sleepers a great night’s sleep — and which are best to skip. Here are the four I recommend.
Helix Low-Loft Talalay Latex Pillow
Best pillow for stomach sleepers
