Big Fig was ranked the Best Cooling Mattress for Heavy People by a widely known women's magazine that prides itself on highlighting expert advice and the best-tested products you can buy.
When it comes to shopping for mattresses there is no one-size-fits-all approach: Some prefer a soft mattress while others prefer firm. No matter your personal preferences, a good mattress should keep your spine aligned and alleviate weight from pressure points. Most standard mattresses are typically made to accommodate up to 250 pounds per person, with mattresses designed to fit two people accommodating 250 pounds per either side of the bed. Thus, people weighing 250 pounds or more will need extra support in their mattress to keep the spine aligned and prevent sagging or dips.
At Big Fig, we started by identifying common problems people with bigger figures experience with their mattresses. We then addressed each problem individually to find a solution that would ensure a quality and comfortable night’s sleep for many years to come. Do you experience issues like: Mattress sag, mattresses becoming too soft, poor back support, being a hot sleeper, lack of durability, poor quality, mattress shifting, or lack of edge support? We fixed these issues with heavy people in mind by using high density foam, premium high quality materials, individually wrapped coils, introducing THERMOGEL COOLING ® technology, vigorous testing backed by our 20 year warranty (link to warranty page), hand tufting, and superior firmer edge foam.
It’s always important to remember that beds will feel good, or even great, during that first test in the store. Every mattress can handle the first time you lay down on it, but what about month 2, year 3, year 5? You need a mattress you can trust to support your needs, stand the test of time and solve common sleep issues for heavier people. Here is more insight into exactly what we implemented into our mattress. THERMOGEL COOLING ® treated fabric helps lower body temperature for an actively cool sleeping experience. Perforated Gel-Infused Latex Foam allows air to flow freely through the mattress, maximizing breathability and comfort. 3 layers of high density foam for no-sag cushioning. 1,600 individually wrapped coils that are 50% more than the average premium innerspring mattress on the market. High density, 80 ILD Edge Form adds extra strength for enhanced edge support. Finally, tufted in 16 places to prevent the materials from shifting over time. With all of these specifics, we are not just another mattress company trying to please everyone. We built a mattress with only one type of person in mind and that is you.
Invest in your sleep. Improved sleep helps improve your mental health and overall well being. We spend almost half of our life sleeping so we might as well make it count.
This is the best mattress for heavy people and heavier couples. Big is beautiful and we are here to support you.
