Our review of the Big Fig Mattress

Pros: Above-average firmness, 1,100-pound weight capacity, good motion isolation, good heat dissipation, exceptional edge support, 20-year warranty

Cons: Hard to move around, may not be comfortable for side sleepers or petite individuals

The  Big Fig Mattress  is unique because it can support two sleepers with a combined weight of 1,100 pounds and comes with a 1,200-pound-capacity foundation. Factor in the firmer-than-average support, and you have the ideal mattress for heavier individuals.

The  Big Fig  weighs more than most mattresses, so setup took a little more effort. An initial odor took a day to dissipate, so air the bed out before you sleep on it.

The cover is made of a cooling material. Below are three CertiPUR-US certified foam layers that promote airflow, edge support, and durability. The individually wrapped coils add more support and durability. 

I usually sleep on my side, but with the firm feel of the  Big Fig , I slept better on my stomach and back. Heavier side sleepers will likely be comfortable since they will sink into the mattress more, keeping their spine aligned.

The edge support of the  Big Fig  is among the best I've experienced. I felt just as comfortable on the edge as I did in the middle.

I rarely find good motion isolation and bounce in the same mattress. The  Big Fig  came close. It failed our bowling ball test, but in my subjective experience, the mattress's motion dampening was pretty good. The impressive bounce could facilitate intimate activities.
