recommendation to make bed softer in the hip area

I recently bought a new bed. I opted for a mattress with the least amount of P/U foam possible, and put a 2.5" latex topper on it. The mattress is an ultrafirm Simmons Beautyrest. The latex topper has two layers, one is 14 ILD; the other is 25 ILD.

The bed is almost perfect, except the hip area is too firm. My hips feel out of alignment when I lay on my side, and I wake up feeling like I need to get a chiropractic adjustment.

I would like there to be a little more “give” in the hip area, but don’t want to affect the rest of the bed.

Any suggestions?

Veloearl.  It may seem strange but I would recommend flipping the foam and sleeping on it for a few nights.  Please let us know how it goes.  Mattdud
