What Stomach Sleepers Need in a Pillow
Low Loft for Neutral Alignment
Stomach sleepers need a thin, soft pillow to keep the neck in line with the spine. A high or overly firm pillow can force your neck backward, leading to discomfort and stiffness. SmartSilk’s low-profile pillow options provide just the right amount of cushioning while maintaining a neutral position.
Soft, Yet Supportive Fill
The ideal pillow for stomach sleepers should gently cradle your head without lifting it too much. Our Silk Lined design combines plush softness with lightweight support, reducing tension on the neck and shoulders.
Breathable, Skin-Friendly Materials
Face-down sleeping puts your skin directly on the pillow, making natural materials essential. SmartSilk’s signature silk lining and premium cotton shell are naturally hypoallergenic, moisture-wicking, and gentle on sensitive skin.
Hypoallergenic for Sensitive Sleepers
Silk is naturally resistant to dust mites, mold, and other allergens. For stomach sleepers who rest with their face on the pillow, this added protection helps create a cleaner, more breathable sleep surface.

Tips for Sleeping Better as a Stomach Sleeper
Choose the Right Pillow Height
Stick with a low-loft pillow that keeps your head from craning upward. SmartSilk’s flatter designs are made for this exact purpose.
Consider a Pillow Under Your Hips
Placing a thin pillow under your pelvis can reduce pressure on your lower back and support better alignment.
Keep It Cool and Breathable
Overheating can disrupt rest. Our Silk Lined pillows naturally regulate temperature and wick away moisture, keeping you cool throughout the night.
