3 Other Options Considered

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

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

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
