If you’re struggling to get comfortable on your mattress, your sleeping position could be a contributing factor. If you’re someone who sleeps on your front and you’re wondering how (and to what extent) this should be a factor in your mattress choice, we’ve spoken to a range of sleep experts on how to choose the right one for you.
“Sleeping on your front is generally the trickiest position to get right, because it puts your spine in an extended position”, says physiotherapist Nell Mead. The more of a dip you have in the lower back, “the more chance you’ve got of having lower back issues”, explains Tempur sleep expert and mattress specialist Emma Sharp.
