Amerisleep AS2

Top Pro

Comfortable to sleep on for plus-sized persons

This mattress has a medium-firm feel that's softer than most mattresses made for the plus sized. So it's comfortable to sleep on but still gives the support a heavy body needs. Most mattresses made for people weighing more than 250 pounds are too firm and uncomfortable. See More

Top Con

Too firm for side sleepers

Since the mattress has a medium to firm foam quality, it may not be soft enough to decrease the amount of shoulder and hip pressure when you sleep on your side, which can leave you with a feeling of discomfort and even soreness. See More

Specs

Type:Memory foam

Dimensions:80 x 60 x 12 inches

Feel:Medium Firm

Weight:88 pounds

Top Pro

Promotes good blood circulation which eases muscle pain

Its Celliant cover promotes good blood circulation which eases muscle pain or soreness because it has been scientifically proven to increase oxygenation in the body which can reduce body pain. Celliant is a fabric made with 13 thermoreactive minerals that convert your body's heat into beneficial infrared energy. See More

Top Con

Too warm

Despite its open cell structure, its memory foam composition, which is known to retain body heat, may get to be too hot and uncomfortable when sleeping in warm weather or for a long period of time. See More

Top Pro

Very responsive when changing positions

The mattress gives a less "stuck" feeling when sleeping on it because it bounces back to its original shape in seconds and doesn't retain the previous body shape. See More

Top Pro

Free to try for 100 nights

Even if you're undecided, this mattress can be tried for a hundred nights and can be returned if not completely satisfied. A full refund will be given and the used mattress donated to a local charity or recycled. See More

Top Pro

Easy to fit through your door

It's delivered to you compressed and contained inside a box. A twin mattress that measures 38" x 74" x 12" is shipped in a 15" x 15" x 42" box weighing 54 pounds. A king sized mattress that is 76" x 80" x 12" comes in only a 19" x 19" x 42" box that weighs 116 pounds. See More

Top Pro

Good for stomach/back sleepers, and those experiencing back pain when lying down

This mattress contains a foam layer with zones that redistributes pressure well. Key areas like the shoulder and lower back get the proper amount of support it needs. See More

Big Fig Mattress

Top Pro

Suitable for plus sizes or people who want a heavy-duty mattress

This mattress is great if you want a bed that's strong. It's also for plus-sized couples or if you have a combined weight of over 700 pounds, as you'll need the extra support. Most alternatives are only rated to bear up to 700 pounds. But the Big Fig can hold 1000 pounds and even over 2000 pounds when used with the optional railroad steel frame. See More

Top Con

Steel frame is difficult to move

Since its steel frame is made from railroad steel and is seriously strong, it's also equally heavy. Moving it will take a lot of effort and people. See More

Specs

Type:Coil + foam

Dimensions:60 x 80 x 13 inches

Weight:120 pounds (+ 90 pounds foundation)

Top Pro

Won't let you sink into the mattress

This mattress will be able to support your weight without sagging so you'll stay on top of the mattress. On some mattresses, if you weigh more than 200 pounds, you'll immediately sink into the mattress. This makes it difficult for you to move around. The Big Fig has three inches of high-density foam. That's 50% denser than the foam in a standard innerspring mattress. High-density foam has a strong cell structure which makes it very strong. See More

Top Con

Very firm

Anyone who weighs less than 200 pounds may find the mattress too firm. See More

Top Pro

Designed to keep you cool

This mattress' topper uses a ThermoGel cooling technology that activates when you sweat, similar to the material of moisture-wicking athletic clothing. The fabric pulls the moisture away from your body so it can evaporate quickly. Also, this mattress has a layer of perforated gel-infused latex foam under the quilted top. It allows more airflow through the mattress, regulating the temperature while you sleep. See More

Top Pro

Will last a long time

It has undergone several tests for durability to simulate 20 years of use with a 350-pound roller and over 200,000 cycles. The documented results showed minimal height loss or sinkage. See More

Top Pro

Gives good edge support

It has its firmest foam on the edge of the bed so sitting or sleeping on its edge won't feel like falling off it. You're kept securely in place. See More

Top Pro

Free delivery to your home

It can be delivered straight to your door at no extra cost. See More

Avocado Green Medium Firm

Top Pro

Good for heavy people who wants to sleep cool

Made from natural latex and an innerspring system, the Avocado Green mattress allows good airflow that benefits a heavy person. Since a person who is heavier sinks deeper into the mattress, they tend to feel hotter and uncomfortable. See More

Top Con

Expensive

The cost to make this mattress is high since it's produced from organic and natural materials, and is mostly assembled by hand. See More

Deana's Experience

Not comfortable. You can feel the coils on your back. See More

Specs

Type:Natural latex and innerspring unit

Dimensions:60 x 80 x 11 inches without pillow top

Feel:Gentle firm

Weight:97 pounds

Top Pro

Good body support

Its coil base foundation can support a combined weight of 700 pounds. The combination of coil and latex gives a high degree of push and responsiveness. See More

Top Pro

Durable

It's made with quality materials that are backed up by a 25-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship. This mattress is made from natural Dunlop latex that is known to be extremely flexible and durable. See More

Top Pro

Convenient heavy-duty handle bars

Arranging, adjusting or moving this mattress is easy with the two hand-sewn upholstered handles located on the side panels. See More

Top Pro

Non-toxic

This mattress has passed independent testing for chemicals and harmful gases or substances and is safe to use. Its natural latex is certified by the eco-INSTITUT in Cologne, Germany. Then the layers are put together by a technique called hand-tufting, which is an effective way of securing each part together without using any chemical adhesives. Lastly, the entire mattress is GREENGUARD Gold Certified by UL Environment so there's no chemical smell or noxious gases. See More

Top Pro

Eco-friendly

It uses sustainable eco-friendly materials like its natural organic cotton cover, hand-tufted Joma wool, and natural Dunlop latex. See More
