The optimal sleeping position for individuals experiencing chronic hip pain is lying flat on your back with a supportive pillow placed underneath your knees to maintain neutral spinal and pelvic alignment. Alternatively, you can sleep on your unaffected, pain-free side with a thick pillow positioned securely between your knees to keep your hips evenly spaced. Avoid sleeping directly on the painful hip, as direct body weight compression aggravates bursitis, increases joint pressure, and causes severe inflammation.
