Not all mattresses are made for the plus size body, but luckily, that's where Big Fig comes in. The Big Fig mattress was designed particularly for folks with a fuller figure and in need of more support than what's typically available from the average mattress. This incredibly durable mattress is compressed and shipped directly to you in a box for easy set up.

Quality of Materials

The Big Fig mattress has a lot of pros for those that are plus sized or big & tall. Made in the US, this mattress is vigorously tested for durability, with all the results published directly on their site. Talk about being transparent! Here is what's inside the 13'' thick Big Fig mattress:

Layer 1: The first layer is a tufted and quilted fabric treated with ThermoGel cooling technology which actively helps to create a cool sleep surface.

Layer 2: Need more cooling? The second layer is a perforated gel-infused latex foam, which helps provide air flow and breathability while also adding to the comfort of the mattress.

Layer 3: Three layers of high density polyfoam provides cushion and support while preventing sagging. Most beds keep this type of foam on the bottom, but placing it at this layer keeps the bed strong and diffuses weight comfortably for larger sleepers.

Layer 4: Up to 1,600 individually wrapped coils provide independent supports to keep the spine aligned but shoulders and hips comfortable. Built to support a plus size frame, this layer has 50% more coils than the standard mattress, which also help with pressure point relief and minimizing partner disturbance.

Layer 5: High density edge and base foam give this mattress excellent edge support and even structure despite moving around!

Overall Comfort

Big Fig's team has focused on keeping things cool and tailoring a supportive mattress for heavier folks. If you are smaller, but sleep on your back or stomach, this mattress may do a great job for you too -- especially if you get a topper for your side. Still, smaller folks and side sleepers should keep in mind that this will be very firm.

Firmness

Big Fig's mattress is designed for plus sized folks, and reviewers are almost 2x more likely to mention that their mattress is firm* versus the average comparable mattress. If you are heavier, it won't feel as firm as it is. For those with slimmer figures, this mattress will feel quite firm.

Back Pain Relief

For heavier folks, this is a life-saver! Big Fig customers are over +2x more likely to mention pain relief in their reviews versus the comparable mattresses. Because it is designed to not sag, you can rest assured that your bed won't aggravate spinal problems and will likely help.

Cooling

Another great feature of this mattress is its cooling capabilities. The ThermoGel cooling technology in the top layer and the gel-infused latex foam layer will help keep things cool and comfortable for hot sleepers.

Who Is Big Fig Right For?

If you are a plus sized person, this mattress simply can't be beat -- Big Fig has really delivered amazing attention to detail at making a perfect bed for heavier folks, and over 90% of their reviews receive a 4 or 5-star rating. Although this mattress comes at a higher than average price point, it has a great trial period and high marks on customer service!
