Good sleep is essential for our health. To get this, we need a mattress that is comfortable and supportive.
There are soooo many bed-in-a-box options available, making it hard to choose the right mattress. This is especially true if you are a heavier person. Odds are your current mattress is a sad sagging mess and you are nowhere near that anecdotal “8-year” lifespan.
In this blog post, we will compare two highly regarded mattresses: the Tempur-ProAdapt Firm and the Big Fig Mattress. Both mattresses have gained popularity for their exceptional support and comfort, catering to different sleepers' requirements. However, since you're here, we're going to guess you (or someone you love) is living life in a bigger figure and looking for the perfect mattress for heavy people.
Finding the right mattress type involves considering various factors such as sleeping positions, body weight, back support, and personal preferences. By stacking up the Tempur-ProAdapt Firm and the Big Fig Mattress side by side, we can guide you towards the ideal mattress and ensure you get restful and rejuvenating sleep each night.
Construction:
Comfort Layers: The Tempur-ProAdapt mattress features multiple comfort layers made of TEMPUR memory foam, which is designed to conform to the body's shape and provide pressure relief.
The Big Fig mattress has a unique hybrid construction designed specifically for heavier individuals. This mattress has multiple comfort layers on top of the support structure to give it a balanced, but firm feel. There is a layer is high-density polyfoam, and another of breathable latex foam. This combination provides both comfort and responsiveness.
Support Layer(s): The Tempur-ProAdapt has a support layer made of high-density polyfoam that provides overall support and helps with spinal alignment.
Big Fig Mattress, as a hybrid mattress, incorporates pocketed coils for added support and responsiveness. The coil count for the Big Fig Mattress varies by size, but we boast an impressive 1,600 individually wrapped coils in our queen. These coils are reinforced to withstand higher weights and offer long-lasting durability.
Individually wrapped coils also promote motion isolation, also known as motion transfer. This means that while sleeping on your Big Fig mattress, you aren't going to feel your partner getting in or out of bed.
BONUS - Enhanced Edge Support: The Big Fig mattress has reinforced perimeter edge support, which provides a stable and secure edge for sitting and sleeping. You won't worry about rolling out of bed if you are near the edge. You also won't feel like you are sliding off if you sit down to take off your slippers.

Cooling Technology: The Tempur-ProAdapt mattress incorporates cooling technologies like the SmartClimate Dual Cover System, which includes a removable, machine-washable cover with cooling fibers.
The Big Fig mattress utilizes THERMOGEL COOLING ® technology in the cover and ventilated foam layers to enhance breathability.
Comfort Level:
The Tempur-ProAdapt Firm Mattress is designed to provide a firm level of comfort, which can be suitable for individuals who prefer a firmer sleeping surface. It utilizes Tempur-Pedic's proprietary memory foam technology for contouring support.
On the other hand, the Big Fig Mattress may feel like a firmer mattress for some body types. But the fact is, that it is designed for heavier people, providing them with a medium-firm comfort without creating uncomfortable pressure points. We like to say that it is a 7 or 8 out of 10 on the firmness scale.
Price:
The prices of mattresses can change over time, so it's important to check the current prices. HOWEVER, Tempur-Pedic mattresses tend to be priced higher compared to many other brands, including the Big Fig Mattress. The Tempur-ProAdapt Firm Mattress was over $1,000 more expensive than a Big Fig when this sentence was written. This seems like a pretty steep price for a block of foam, even if it is high quality.
Customer Satisfaction:
Both the Tempur-ProAdapt Firm Mattress and the Big Fig Mattress generally receive positive reviews from customers, but individual experiences may vary. It's advisable to read specific customer reviews to gain insights into people's experiences with each mattress.
It's important to consider personal preferences, body weight, sleeping position, and specific requirements when choosing between the Tempur-ProAdapt Firm Mattress and the Big Fig Mattress. To make an informed decision, it is helpful to review detailed product specifications. Reading customer reviews can also be useful. If possible, it is best to try out the mattress in person, which is why Big Fig offers a 120-sleep trial.
Warranty:
So, when it comes to the Big Fig Mattress and the Tempur-ProAdapt Mattress, there's a noticeable difference in their warranty durations. The Big Fig Mattress offers a whopping 20-year warranty, while the Tempur ProAdapt Mattress comes with a 10-year limited warranty. Now, why might that longer warranty be a smarter option? Let's dig in!
First off, a longer warranty, like the one offered by the Big Fig Mattress, can provide you with peace of mind for an extended period. It's like having a best friend looking out for you and your mattress for decades. With 20 years of coverage, you can feel more confident about the longevity of your investment.
Now, keep in mind that a warranty isn't just about the duration; it's also about what it covers. While I don't have the specific details on these mattresses' warranties, it's important to consider the coverage provided. Look for warranties that cover manufacturing defects, sagging issues, and problems with materials or workmanship. Make sure you understand the terms and conditions of each warranty to ensure it suits your needs.
Another thing to consider is that a longer warranty often indicates that the manufacturer has confidence in their product's durability. We believe our mattress is built to last. That's a good sign, right?
Always read the small print and know the rules and restrictions of the warranty. Some warranties might have specific conditions or exclusions that you should be aware of. So, take a few minutes to dive into those details to make an informed decision. For Big Fig, we highly recommend you use a mattress protector, but using the wrong foundation will definitely impact your warranty.
Remember, though, warranty length is just one factor to consider when choosing a mattress. It's important to assess other aspects like comfort, support, and personal preferences. But having that extra warranty coverage with the Big Fig Mattress might just give you that added confidence and peace of mind for the long haul.
