#but I’m a big fan of high density foams over coils for bigger folks

Another mattress question!

I've been getting a lot of ads for Big Fig mattresses which are supposedly made for heavier people. As a fat person, having a mattress that I don't wear out or completely break within a couple of months would be ideal, honestly. Do you know anything about this brand, or have any additional recs for a mattress for a fat person and their rather average weight partner?

I did get one testimonial on the brand from someone who likes theirs a lot. Looking over specs it seems like it has a solid coil count. The two things that give me pause- you can’t try before buying- I really distrust mattresses that you can’t lay on first.

The second thing that gives me pause is the lack of padding. Will foam break down faster under weight? Somewhat. But memory foam not so much and bigger people still need some padding.

You can add a topper but commercially available foams aren’t as good as what goes into most beds and that means you’ll just be swapping toppers out more frequently as cheap foam gives out on you.
