Same reason it’s more comfy to lay down instead of sit.. if the weight of your body is supported by more than just your feet and/or butt, the pressure in those areas is decreased, hence more comfy… Pressure= Force (weight) / area….. increase the area (i.e. lay down) and you’ll decrease the pressure
