If your current mattress feels right for stomach sleeping, adding several inches of foam just for a cooling label may make an unwanted comfort change. Start with temperature and bedding layers rather than thickness.
Preserve what already works
Try lighter upper bedding or a different sheet first. If you want powered temperature control, compare an air or water system with its approved bedding arrangement. Neither should be chosen on a promise to correct posture or treat pain.
A topper may be useful when a softer surface is also wanted, but it is a separate decision. Recheck the overall bed height and pillow setup after any substantial cushioning change. A pad cannot restore a sagging mattress.
Evaluate the actual setup
Keep the room and duvet reasonably consistent when comparing comfort. Confirm the selected size, hose or nozzle placement, noise at the setting you use and return conditions. Do not treat a generic best-for-stomach-sleepers ranking as a substitute for those checks.
