Getting quality sleep with coccyx pain can feel impossible. These 7 positions reduce tailbone pressure and help you finally rest.
Lie on your side with a firm pillow between your knees. This keeps hips aligned and prevents pelvic rotation that stresses the coccyx.
Pro tip: Place a small pillow under your waist to maintain spinal alignment.
Curl on your side with knees drawn toward chest. This opens the space between vertebrae and reduces coccyx pressure.
Hug a full-length body pillow while lying on your side. Provides support for upper body and maintains hip alignment.
Medium-firm mattresses provide the best support. Too soft allows hips to sink, twisting the pelvis. Too firm creates pressure points.
