The Best Pillows for Stomach Sleepers Boast Cloudlike Softness
Briefly

Stomach sleepers benefit from low-loft, soft pillows that keep the neck and spine aligned while minimizing elevation. Down and down-alternative fills often provide the low pile and breathability suitable for face-down sleeping. High-loft or memory foam pillows can overextend the neck and are generally unsuitable for stomach sleeping. Adjustable and shredded-fill pillows allow customization of firmness and loft to individual preferences. Soft feather pillows with breathable fabrics and ethical production practices offer comfort and traceability. Recommended options include a down chamber pillow for overall balance, an adjustable shredded memory foam pillow, and an affordable hotel-style down alternative.
Hot sleeper this, hot sleeper that: the real hell of sleeping-including neck pain, spine sensitivity, and a cursed sleeping position-is often overlooked by temperature-regulating lingo. As many of our editors are stomach sleepers, we evaluated the best pillows for this sleep position by testing for soft, low-pile fills designed to help keep the spine in alignment and neck comfortable. We prioritized down and down alternative pillows, as these are materials that are often available in low lofts suitable for sleeping, more or less, on your face. You usually don't want a high pile or memory foam pillow in these cases since they offer significant neck support that can overextend your neck. Among our picks are soft feather pillows with breathable fabrics and adjustable fills. Here, our favorite pillows for stomach sleepers that are soft and spongy for a good night's sleep.
Stomach, side, and back sleepers alike will love this feather pillow from our bedding champion Boll & Branch, but we recommend it particularly for the stomach sleeping experience because of its low fill and plush feel. This pillow was rated best overall in our down pillows guide on account of "striking just the right balance between soft and sturdy," according to our contributor Elaheh Nozari. It also employs ethical production practices-you can even trace your piece's origin.
