According to Jonathan Leary, DC, CEO and Founder of Remedy Place, your sleeping position can have a significant impact on hip pain. 'If you're sleeping in a position that limits movement (creating more tightness), compresses an area that's already inflamed, or keeps you in a closed position where your muscles are in spasm, all of these scenarios can worsen the pain.'
Side sleeping can exacerbate hip pain, especially if the mattress doesn't provide enough pressure relief. When lying on the side, the weight is concentrated on the hips and shoulders, which can lead to discomfort or pain if the mattress is too firm or lacks sufficient cushioning.
Stomach sleeping can often contribute to hip pain, as it causes the hips to sink too deeply into the mattress, leading to misalignment of the spine. This position also puts strain on the lower back and hips, especially if the mattress is too soft.
Back sleeping generally helps distribute body weight more evenly, reducing pressure on the hips. However, if the mattress is too soft, the hips may sink in too much, throwing the spine out of alignment and leading to hip pain.
