Big Fig has been recently featured in Forbes' comprehensive list of mattresses without fiberglass.
Here is a quick snippet of what Forbes' had to say...
Big Fig Mattresses are specifically made with heavier people in mind. The mattress can support up to 550 pounds on each side of the bed. Big Fig uses a high-density foam around the edge for extra support when getting out of bed or sitting on the edge. This foam is extra dense to prevent the mattress from sagging over time. All of this sits atop 1,600 individually wrapped coils, which Big Fig says is 50% more than the average direct competitor.

Hybrid Construction
The Big Fig mattress features a hybrid innerspring design specifically crafted to support heavier individuals. Boasting 1,600 individual coils in a king size mattress, it combines three layers of high-density foam with a layer of gel-infused, perforated latex foam. This sophisticated blend ensures the mattress remains supportive, comfortable, and resilient over time. Unlike traditional mattresses, which often degrade and soften rapidly, especially under the pressure of plus-size sleepers, the Big Fig’s superior hybrid construction offers long-lasting firmness and comfort. This structure also differs from all-foam mattresses, preventing the formation of cavities and depressions that can make sleepers feel stuck. Instead, the spring support provides a lively surface, allowing for easy movement and an optimal sleeping position.
High-Density Foam
A spring coil mattress need not be synonymous with uncomfortable firmness. The Big Fig Mattress incorporates high-quality comfort materials, creating a perfect blend of plushness and support. It features three inches of high-density foam cushioning with a density of at least 1.8 pounds per cubic foot, making it over 50% denser than the foam in a typical innerspring mattress. This high-density foam is crucial in preventing the sagging and impressions that commonly plague mattresses used by bigger figure sleepers, ensuring the mattress maintains its shape and comfort over time.
Coil System
Motion transfer is a common complaint among couples sharing a bed. The Big Fig mattress addresses this issue by incorporating high-quality, individually pocketed coils. These coils contour and respond precisely to your body, significantly reducing motion transfer. Made from premium grade 15-gauge steel, the mattress includes 50% more coils than the average premium innerspring mattress, totaling 1,600 in a king size. This robust coil system adapts to body weight and contours, contributing to the mattress's overall support and comfort.
Edge Support
The Big Fig mattress excels in edge support, a common weakness in all-foam and traditional mattresses. Designed with the firmest foam around the edges, it ensures you feel secure even when sitting or lying near the edge. This feature also expands the usable sleeping area, making the mattress feel more spacious. Unlike other mattresses that neglect edge firmness, the Big Fig’s reinforced edges prevent breakdown over time, providing long-term durability and support.
Sleeping Cool
Keeping cool while sleeping is a priority for many, and the Big Fig mattress addresses this with advanced cooling technologies. The mattress topper features THERMOGEL COOLING ® technology, which activates upon contact with moisture to create a cooling sensation. Beneath the quilted top, a layer of perforated, gel-infused latex foam further enhances cooling by allowing air to flow freely. This combination of materials effectively minimizes surface temperature, helping you stay cool throughout the night.
Tufting
Hand tufting is a hallmark of quality in mattress construction, ensuring long-term durability and integrity. By individually inserting durable string fasteners through the mattress, the layers are securely held in place, preventing the shifting of materials that can lead to reduced comfort, lumpiness, and sagging. This process, often reserved for high-end mattresses, is used in every Big Fig mattress, reflecting a commitment to quality craftsmanship.
Strong Foundation
A strong foundation is essential for the longevity of any mattress. The Big Fig Foundation is designed to complement the mattress, absorbing impact and preventing premature sagging. Constructed from high-quality spruce, pine, and fir woods, the foundation features 18 wide slats and double center rails, capable of supporting five times the weight of a standard foundation. This robust support system ensures the mattress remains durable and comfortable for years.
Documented Testing
The Big Fig mattress undergoes rigorous testing to ensure its durability, particularly for plus-size sleepers. At a third-party testing facility, the mattress was subjected to simulations representing 20 years of use, using a heavier weight of 350 pounds. The Big Fig passed these tests, validating its exceptional durability and comfort. This documented testing highlights the mattress’s ability to meet the specific needs of an underserved community, promoting better sleep and overall well-being.
20-Year Mattress Warranty
Big Fig stands behind the quality of its mattress with a 20-year warranty. If the mattress or foundation fails due to manufacturing defects, Big Fig will repair or replace the defective item. This warranty ensures that customers can trust in the longevity and reliability of their mattress, with the company committed to providing high-quality service throughout the warranty period.
