Pillows for stomach sleepers need to be soft. However, where you place your pillow will impact what density pillow is right for you. Many stomach sleepers sleep on top of their pillow, with some portion of their chest compressing the pillow, treating it almost like a body pillow. In this case, a medium pillow may be perfect. However, if you primarily place only your head on the pillow then you need to look for a soft density pillow so that you don’t strain your neck muscles. See how our luxury down pillows for stomach sleepers can alleviate neck pain and choose the perfect pillow for your sleeping style today!

I have always slept better with down pillows. I decided to try the 800 fill Snuggle Soft in medium this spring and loved it. Since sometimes I sleep on my side and sometimes on my stomach, I recently bought a 2nd one in soft and I love it. They are the most comfortable pillows that I have slept on and extremely well made!

I sleep on my stomach, and every pillow website says stomach sleeps should go with a very soft, thin pillow. I knew I don't like thin, soft pillows, so I went with a medium pillow. I tried it for a few weeks, but unfortunately it was too soft for me. The great thing is I was able to send it back with D&F's perfect pillow policy, and get it upgraded to extra firm.

giving me the best night’s sleep I have had in years. As a stomach sleeper I could not find a comfortable pillow. This one is the answer. Thank you. I sleep through the night and wake up without a stiff neck.

Stomach sleepers typically need a soft or thin pillow. However, if you sleep with more of your chest on the pillow, you tuck your arm under the pillow or you sleep on the corner of your pillow you may need a medium or thicker pillow.
Many stomach sleepers that sleep with an arm under the pillow also like to sleep on the corner of their pillow. Typically, pillow corner stomach sleepers don't like to have the pillow come up around their face when sleeping on their stomachs so they position their heads on the corner while tucking their arm. Due to the fact that traditionally designed pillow taper, are thinner, in the four corners you may need to increase your pillow density or thickness choice one density level so the pillow corner is as thick and supportive as it can be.
Do you, like so many, tuck your arm under your pillow while sleeping on your stomach? It's actually very common but most are not doing it to prop up their heads with their arms while sleeping on there stomach. Typically stomach sleepers tuck their arm under the pillow because it creates so much strain on your neck when your arm is alongside your body. If you're an 'arm-tucker' you may need a soft thin down pillow so that you when you do tuck your arm you don't create an even more uncomfortable spine angle with it tucked.
Stomach sleeping can strain the lower back and neck, leading to discomfort and potential misalignment of the spine. This position can increase pressure on the spine's natural curves, potentially exacerbating existing back issues. Choosing a pillow that keeps your spine in alignment - like our down pillows for stomach sleepers - can alleviate this pressure!
When selecting a down pillow for stomach sleeping, we recommend opting for one with a lower loft (height) to maintain spinal alignment. You’ll want to look for a soft-to-medium firmness that provides support without elevating your head too much. Additionally, choose a pillow with quality materials and consider features like adjustable loft to customize your comfort level. Our Hungarian goose down pillows for stomach sleepers are perfect for this!
The percentage of people who sleep on their stomachs varies, but it's generally considered to be the least common sleep position. Estimates suggest that around 7% to 16% of people prefer sleeping on their stomachs, with the majority favoring side or back sleeping positions.
