Hi, I have read through the site, visited 3 stores listed on the site and have found nothing to help me so far, so I have decided to just modify my current sleeping arrangement until I find the right mattress.
I have some health problems, primarily Trochanteric Hip Bursitis and TMJ. I am a side sleeper but in theory should be able to sleep on both back and side. I have a Sealy Posturepedic eurotop meidum and plush in my room. Both were okay for a few months, but have become unsleepable after due to likely the comfort layer completely eroding. Currently, if I sleep on my side on the newer plush model, my hip hurts significantly. I am unsure whether itâs the too soft comfort layer that canât support my hip and pressure from the coils underneath hurt or that I sink way too much and that angle places all the pain at the bursitis. I have 5 mattress toppers, the best one being a bed bath beyond cheap foam 2 inch with like 1 cm of memory foam. This substantially decreases hip pain, but not enough. I am unsure why it does so but I think it evens out my weight distribution more and doesnât allow me to sink in as much. I have to shake the topper, rotate the bed, and flip it over and lay on it every night before I sleep though to make sure I donât sink in as much.
My question is, can I buy a good topper that lets me skip all the turning bed, shaking the topper, and flipping the bed. What topper should I buy that will help the hip bursitis. Iâm unsure what will help but I think some sinking is good and contouring hip away from pain helps as does better distributing pressure.
I have bought and tried memory foam tempurpedic model which hurt hip a lot, I have tried an expensive latex talay $3000 bed that is slightly less comfortable than my current setup, I have tried other coils, and tried many mattresses at the stores. I am thinking of trying latex with my topper on top to see if that evens out the pressure, but it will be very costly to return and unlikely to work. Just looking for some guidance or direction. If something does not hurt my hip I donât mind spending thousands, but I am hesitant to spend it if itâs similar to my setup as I already have three new mattresses sitting in my house. Thanks
