Best Mattresses for Hip Pain
Hip pain while sleeping is often caused by pressure buildup at the greater trochanter (the bony outer hip). Side sleepers are most vulnerable. A mattress that conforms closely to the body's contours distributes weight away from the hip and reduces that concentrated pressure. We prioritized mattresses with excellent pressure relief and softer comfort layers.
How We Ranked
- ✓Excellent pressure relief
- ✓Soft to medium feel (3–6)
- ✓Close conforming (memory foam or latex preferred)
- ✓Good motion isolation
