President’s Day weekend is here, and that means lots of deals. If you’re tired of sleeping on a bed that doesn’t support you, we’ve got you covered. Below you’ll find the best deals on mattresses for heavy people, plus reviews of our favorites.
In our review of the Saatva HD mattress, we said we felt well supported by the support layers and the steel coils (which the company says are 25% stronger than the industry standard), but the plushness of the pillow top offers a softness you won’t find with other mattresses. The Saatva HD is a great mattress for people who want a softer mattress that still offers a lot of support.
Big Fig has been making mattresses for heavy people for years. Their mattresses were designed to offer maximum comfort and support for bigger people. In our first Big Fig review, we were impressed with the firmness and how well the cooling technology worked for a hot sleeper. Add in the 20-year warranty and 1,100-pound total capacity and you’ve got a mattress that’s hard to beat. Still not convinced? Read our second review, one year later.
The Helix Plus is a medium-firm hybrid mattress made specifically for plus size or big and tall people. The Plus is slightly taller and denser, providing comfort, extra support, and durability. Whether you sleep on your back, side, or belly, the contouring foam of the Helix Plus will adjust to your body shape for a better night’s sleep.
When photographer Abbie Rudolph reviewed the Amerisleep AS2 mattress, she said: “The mattress is dense and supportive. It’s solid, but soft. I don’t feel like I’m stiff as a board, but I feel like it gives where my curves are, but I still feel supported. I can move around, but nothing else on the bed moves. It doesn’t feel like I’m squishing the mattress to death. The mattress still feels the same after months of use, and I think it will still feel good this time next year.” We recently checked in with her and she’s still loving this mattress.
