When it comes to pure pressure relief for the hip joint, nothing beats thick, plush memory foam. This 7.5cm topper is my top pick because it acts as the perfect shock absorber between your hip and the firm mattress below.
During my sinkage tests, this topper allowed for a generous 5.6cm of compression at the hip zone. This deep cradling completely eliminated the push-back against the greater trochanter (the protruding hip bone) that causes inflammation and pain. It allowed my spine to drop into a perfectly straight line.
The foam is also fast-acting, meaning it didn't leave deep body impressions when I rolled over, making it easier to change positions than older generations of memory foam.
