I don’t usually recommend memory foam for stomach sleepers — but the Plank Mattress changed my mind

Two people sit on top of the Plank Firm flippable double-sided mattress in a bedroom.

As a sleep writer I've tried a variety of beds, but up until recently, I always avoided memory foam mattresses. I'm a stomach sleeper, which means I need support at the hips or I'm liable to wake with back ache. The thick cushioning of memory foam seemed to spell disaster — then I tried the Plank Firm Mattress.

The Plank Firm is an all-foam mattress with a difference. It's extra firm and super supportive, with a flat surface that barely moves beneath you. Unlike other memory foam beds, the Plank lifts the hips when stomach sleeping, so you don't have to worry about back pain.
