Our favorite mattress to help with snoring is the DreamCloud mattress because it comfortably supports all sleep positions and body types. Our second favorite pick is the Layla mattress, as it has two firmness levels in one bed.
How can your bed help with snoring? Well, when you’re getting subpar rest because of an old mattress, you’re likelier to be aroused out of sleep more easily. When you snore super loud, you can wake yourself up. And if your partner snores, you have to listen to it every night.
If your bed is too soft, or old and sagging, it can worsen snoring because it won’t support your neck and back. Proper neck and back support is essential for keeping your airways open while you rest and airway obstruction is what leads to snoring.
Having a good mattress will help you sleep more soundly and wake up less. First, we’ll cover our top mattresses for snoring, followed by more information on choosing a bed based on this.

What We Liked:
- Quality materials
- Isolates motion well
- 3 firmness options
- Silent when bearing weight
What We Didn’t Like:
- May have an initial off-gassing odor

The Novosbed is a great choice for couples because it absorbs motion well and doesn’t make a lot of noise. These features are especially important for people who struggle with snoring. You don’t need extra factors keeping you awake at night if you have a partner who snores or if you frequently wake yourself up with your own snoring.
The mattress is made with a stretchy, thin cover, followed by a 2-inch layer of aerated memory foam for conforming support and breathability. Next, is another 2-inch layer of memory foam that’s slightly firmer than the top layer and acts as a transition layer between the top layer and the firmer base foam. The base is made of a 7-inch layer of dense poly foam.
The all-foam construction of this mattress could be a good option for people who need pressure relief and share a bed with a partner. It’s supportive enough to keep your head, back, and shoulders in proper alignment, which encourages open airways and less snoring.

What We Didn’t Like:
- Flipping the bed can be difficult
- Might have an initial off-gassing odor
The Layla mattress is a flippable mattress with two firmness options. As mentioned, support in the back, neck, and shoulder area is essential for reducing snoring. If you aren’t sure what firmness level will best support you in this way, getting a flippable bed could be a good choice. That way, you have two chances to get it right.
The cover on the Layla mattress is made of a polyester fabric blend with a soft, comfortable feel. Starting with the softer side of the bed up, this layer is made from 3 inches of memory foam with a contouring effect. It’s infused with copper, which has antimicrobial properties and may help keep you cool.
Next is a 2-inch layer of firmer foam that acts as a transition layer. The bottom layer is made of a dense, firm polyfoam material, followed by a 1-inch layer of memory foam. The last layer acts as the top layer of the firmer side of the mattress and is also infused with copper.
The Layla mattress is a good potential option for people who aren’t sure how firm they want their bed to be. You’ll have two tries to get it right, which is better than one! The Layla mattress comes with a 120-night sleep trial and Lifetime Warranty.

The DreamCloud mattress is a luxury hybrid bed, meaning it’s built with both coils and foam layers. The bed has a cashmere cover, followed by a half-inch layer of memory foam, then a 1.75-inch quilted foam layer. Next is a half-inch layer of latex foam, giving the bed a slightly springy feel.
Under that is a quarter-inch layer of memory foam, then a half-inch layer of dense foam that provides a transition between the top layers and the coils in the bed.
The coils make up an 8-inch layer that helps evenly distribute your body weight across the bed. Last is a 1.5-inch layer of dense foam, for stability.

The Avocado mattress is our favorite luxury pick mattress because it’s made with organic and green materials. It starts with an organic cotton cover, followed by a medium-firm, 2-inch layer of Dunlop latex, then an 8-inch layer of coils. Last is a firm, 1-inch layer of latex that supports the layers above it.
If this construction sounds too firm to you, Avocado has an optional pillow top (for an additional cost). The mattress sleeps cool, is environmentally friendly, and may help with snoring. This bed adequately supports the back, neck, and head. This type of support is essential for open airways and, as a result, less snoring.

#5 The Best Mattress for Snoring Stomach Sleepers- The Casper Mattress
What We Liked:

- Easy to switch positions on
- Zoned support
- Open-cell foam for breathability
What We Didn’t Like:
- Poor edge support
The Casper mattress is an all-foam bed with a responsive surface that makes it easy to switch positions on. We chose it as our favorite for stomach sleepers because it uses zoned support with a firmer section under the hips. This section helps keep your hips elevated in the stomach sleep position, which is essential for alignment.
The mattress has a polyester-blend cover, followed by a 1.5-inch layer of open-cell foam that provides breathable contouring. Under that a 1.5-inch layer of motion absorbing, supportive foam.
Following this is a 1.5-inch transition layer with a firmer section under the hips and a softer section to cushion the shoulders.
The base of the Casper mattress is a 5.5-inch polyfoam layer that supports the layers above it. While the bed creates some sinkage, you won’t feel trapped in the mattress. Instead, it should keep your body in proper alignment, preventing blockages in your airways (which can cause snoring). The Casper bed comes with a 100-night sleep trial and 10-year warranty.
Is Your Mattress Contributing to Your Snoring?
It can be hard to identify the exact cause of snoring since so many factors can impact it. From climate and smoking to obesity, allergies, illnesses, and more, any number of things can be the cause. In all likelihood, your snoring is probably the result of multiple factors, including your sleeping conditions.
Your mattress may be related to snoring because snoring happens when your airways are partially blocked. Your sleep surface and sleep position both impact this and when your head, back, and head aren’t supported properly, you may begin to snore. A good mattress will provide the support you need, making it likelier that your airways remain unblocked. Make sure you choose a bed that’s firm enough to keep your spine in a neutral position and compatible with your sleep position.
Snoring and Sleep Position
Your sleep position is also related to whether or not you snore. Sleeping on your back is the worst position for snoring because it narrows your air passages. If you can only sleep on your back, try to use a pillow that keeps your head elevated. Stomach sleeping is great for preventing snoring, but it may lead to aches in the lower back.
If you decide to try to sleep on your stomach to help with your snoring, try sleeping with no pillow or a very low-profile option. That will help your spine stay in alignment as you rest. Side sleeping is also great for snoring because it helps keep your airways straight and open.
Mattress Firmness and Snoring
What should you look for when you’re choosing a mattress specifically to help prevent snoring? Mattress firmness is an important aspect of sleep hygiene and can impact how much you or your partner snores. The bed you choose must provide enough support for your neck and head to keep your airways unblocked.
As a snorer, you may have the best luck with a medium or medium-firm model. Medium and medium-firm beds tend to have enough firmness to promote spinal alignment, but have softer surfaces than firm beds. A mattress surface with more give can cushion your hips and shoulders in the side sleep position (which is a good position for snoring).
With a firmer bed, you might be tempted to roll over onto your back, which can make snoring worse.
Final Verdict
Snoring is a very common problem that impacts the snorers themselves and their partners. Over time, this issue can make you or your partner feel exhausted. We recommend researching potential lifestyle factors and asking your doctor about what may be causing your snoring. But, you can also get a mattress that ensures you’re properly supported, which can help.
Our favorite mattress to help with snoring is the DreamCloud bed. It uses both coils and foam to create even weight distribution, which can help keep your airways open and prevent snoring.
