Bursitis causes the hips to become red swollen achy and stiff. A mattress that s too soft or too hard could trigger pressure points which may lead to a sore hip. Too hard or too soft mattress can aggravate the pressure points causing hip pain. Sleep posture can also cause pain.

It often hurts when touched and when you are sleeping at night it s easy to roll into a position that puts pressure on your hips and by extension an inflamed bursa.
