A good mattress allows you to maintain a neutral spine alignment throughout the night, providing relief for sleepers who suffer from hip joint pain. In contrast, an unsupportive and uncomfortable mattress can create additional pressure on your hips and worsen your health condition. A supportive mattress is one that cradles your hips when you sleep. Now, there is no one-size-fits-all type of mattress for hip pain. The best mattress for sleepers with hip pain is actually one that suits your preferred sleep position. There are two main factors to consider: firmness levels and material. The mattress firmness scale ranges from 1 to 10, with mattress firmness being categorized into soft (or plush), medium firm, and firm. Softer mattresses let sleepers sink into the mattress, giving off the feeling of sleeping "in" the mattress rather than on top of it. This type of mattress is best for light sleepers and side sleepers who enjoy the feeling of the mattress contouring to or hugging their bodies at night. On the other hand, heavier people or people with a bigger body type, will often sleep better on firmer mattresses that provide more lift and support. A firmer mattress is also recommended for back sleepers and stomach sleepers. Mattress type or material also plays a hand in firmness and comfort. The traditional innerspring mattress is oftentimes on the firmer side and provides a fair bit of bounce. Meanwhile, memory foam mattresses and latex mattresses are on the plush side of the scale, making for a softer mattress. Another key difference among mattress types is temperature regulation. Hybrid mattresses are the "best of both worlds" type of mattress, providing adequate support and ventilation while still providing pressure point relief. For people with hip pain, finding a good mattress is integral to ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. Overall, the best mattress for lower back and hip pain is a contouring mattress that conforms to your body’s shape with just the right level of firmness and support.
