When it comes to your sleeping time, there’s nothing like the power of your daily night’s sleep, as that’s the main thing that will help you feel energized for every next day. Not only that, but sleeping on a premium and high-quality mattress also has its advantages, as every time you wake up, you’ll undoubtedly feel much better and more refreshed than when sleeping on a low-quality hard mattress. Now, if you’re one of the 165 million people in the United States who may identify with the “plus size” demographic, then you might not be sleeping as well as you’d wish, and that’s basically due to a result of your mattress. For any person with a bigger figure, you probably have experienced common frustrations with your mattress in the past. Things like sagging, overheating throughout the night, a collapsing box spring, shifting of materials, lack of edge support, and so on are very common problems. However, the main reason for all of those problems is quite simple. You see, most mattresses were simply not designed to comfortably support plus size sleepers for longer than 2 to 3 years. Nevertheless, the Big Fig Mattress + Foundation is a special 2-piece setup of unique hybrid mattress and specially designed foundation (which goes on top of your bed frame) that can very easily provide you with the solution for all those problems.
The Big Fig Mattress + Foundation is a premium hybrid mattress that’s ultra-comfortable and extremely soft, while still being bouncy, supportive, and strong.
Both the Big Fig Mattress and its foundation (which is installed right on top of your bed frame) are completely built from the ground up to ultimately provide the end-user with a mattress that fits anyone’s needs, even including all the needs of people with a bigger figure.
The Big Fig Mattress itself is made of high-quality materials that ultimately make it the ideal hybrid mattress for sleepers with bigger figures. Thanks to that, no matter what your sleeping position is, the Big Fig is designed to easily cradle and support your body without the sinking feeling that’s commonly found and experienced when sleeping in other mattresses.
Basically, the more pressure you put on it, the more the Big Fig Mattress will react to support you and your body’s current position.
Additionally, the mattress’ unique and custom designed bed frame was designed to be extremely strong, and thanks to that, its guaranteed to support both the Big Fig Mattress as well as any sleeper, even including people with a bigger figure (as mentioned earlier).
Now, if you’re interested in knowing more about it, join us in our detailed review of the Big Fig Mattress + Foundation where we cover everything that this high-quality hybrid mattress and custom designed bed frame setup have to offer you.
DESIGN
THE BIG FIG MATTRESS
Starting with the Big Fig Mattress itself, our review unit is the King Size mattress, which measures exactly 76″ x 80″ x 13″. With its large 80 inches long by 76 inches wide surface and its 13 inches thickness, this mattress is designed to provide additional comfort like no other you’ve seen before.
As mentioned earlier, the mattress is only made of really high-quality materials, which makes it a great choice of premium mattress for anyone with a bigger figure that’s looking for a reliable and high-quality hybrid mattress.
Ultimately, these high-quality materials allow the mattress to last you for at least 20 years of continued sleep on it, and that goes for up to 1,000 lbs of applied weight. That’s exactly why the Big Fig Mattress + Foundation is truly the first mattress setup that’s built specifically for people with bigger figures.
Check out the two videos embedded below to see exactly how the company tests its extremely durable, ultra-comfortable, extra-soft and high-quality hybrid mattress.
Now, as mentioned earlier, this hybrid mattress is quite soft at its top-side, and it’s also nice and thick to support people with a bigger figure in a very comfortable way, and with no problems whatsoever.
Right at the top, the mattress features an ultra-soft quilted mattress topper that makes it quite comfy to lie down on. The mattress’ ultra-soft quilted mattress topper is combined with a ThermoGel treated fabric that ultimately helps it to lower your body temperature for an actively cooling (meaning refreshing) sleeping experience.
This ThermoGel treated fabric works based on the company’s proprietary ThermoGel Cooling Technology, which, since it comes combined with the mattress’ ultra-soft quilted mattress topper, can actively cool your body temperature while you’re sleeping on top of it.
Basically, this specialized gel-infused layer (made of 66% polyurethane blend, 30% viscose, 4% poly/lycra) is activated with moisture contact, and then creates a cooling sensation that’s just close enough to your skin for your to feel it. This specialized cooling gel layer is amazing, and on somewhat hotter nights, feels absolutely incredible.
Then, right under the mattress’ quilted mattress topper we have a special combination of 4 different layers, and that’s exactly makes the mattress extremely comfortable and able to easily react to your body’s applied pressure to perfectly support both you and your body’s many different sleeping positions. As stated earlier, the more pressure you put on it, the more the Big Fig Mattress will react to support you and your body’s current position. That’s because the mattress
These 4 different layers consist of one (x1) single layer of high-quality Gel-Infused Perforated Foam as well as three (x3) layers of high-density Poly Foam, which all come right under the mattress’ Gel-Infused Perforated Foam layer.
Starting with its first layer, the mattress’ Gel-Infused Perforated Foam (meaning a ventilated latex layer) allows air to flow freely through the mattress, which not only helps to maximize the mattress’ breathability, but also its user’s comfort.
Moving on to the mattress’ three (x3) layers of high-density Poly Foam, the combination of these 3 thin layers of high-density poly foam ensure that you never experience a “sinking” feeling when resting on the matress’ ultra-comfortable cushioning surface. These 3 thin layers of high-density poly foam include a single 1.8 lb. layer of high density polyurethane foam and 2 lower layers of 2.5 lb. each that are also made of high density polyurethane foam. These ultimately make the mattress extra soft and give it a bit more comfort.
Then, right under these 3 thin layers of high-density poly foam, we also have the mattress’ 1,600 Pocketed Spring Coils, which were designed to help the mattress provide heavier people with around 50% more body-weight support than any other average premium innerspring mattresses that are currently available on the market
The Big Fig’s hybrid construction of springs and foam provides the ultimate mix of support and comfort. Each of these 1,600 Count Pocketed Spring Coils are individually wrapped, and ultimately offer the mattress a high flexibility as well as an awesome 15-gauge thickness.
Additionally, fully surrounding the mattress’ 1,600 Count Pocketed Spring Coils, there’s also a high-density 80 ILD Edge Foam layer that ultimately adds some extra strength to the mattress, just to provide it with some enhanced edge support. This basically means that all of those 1,600 Count Pocketed Spring Coils are perfectly kept in place whenever a user goes on top of the mattress’ ultra-comfortable surface, as well as whenever they leave it.
Lastly, the mattress is also tufted in a total of 16 different places, and that ultimately helps to prevent its high-quality materials from shifting over time.
THE FOUNDATION
Now, moving on to the mattress’ specially designed foundation, which, as mentioned at the beginning of the article, will be installed right on top of your bed frame. This specially designed foundation is amish crafted, and solely made of high-quality spruce wood.
You get exactly 2 center rails, 18 slats at 2.5” wide, and 32 2×4 wood block supports.
This specially designed foundation for the Big Fig Mattress can support up to 5 times the weight of any typical mattress foundations that are currently available on the market.
The mattress’ specially designed foundation also comes together with an included special cover. To install its foundation cover, simply remember to place it on top of the mattress’ foundation with the cover’s grey side facing upwards. Then, just make sure to stretch the cover over the foundation until the cover itself is tightly fitted.
Keep in mind that tilting the foundation on its side will allow you to more easily stretch its dedicated cover’s edges over the mattress’ foundation.
Lastly, once your done installing the foundation’s cover on the mattress’ foundation, simply place its specially designed foundation on top of your bed frame, and you’re good to place the mattress on top of it.
Be aware that the mattress is actually quite heavy, so it’s recommended that you move it together onto the top of your bed frame with the help of a second person.
