Many new mattress buyers are concerned with firmness. It makes sense; body type can influence how a mattress feels; however, depending on sleeping positions it could feel firmer or softer for individuals.
As a heavy sleeper, finding a mattress with enough support is vital for maintaining good posture during restful slumber. This mattress was made to accommodate your unique requirements by including a foundation that won’t void its warranty.
Firmness
Mattress firmness is an integral factor for many sleepers, but also one of the more subjective parts of selecting a bed. Your ideal firmness level will depend on factors like body weight, sleeping position preferences and whether or not you share a bed with a partner – which is why many top online brands provide generous trial periods so you can experience how the bed feels in your own home before making a final decision.
Soft to medium firm mattresses typically fall between 3 and 7 on the firmness scale, offering comfortable firm support with relatively flat surfaces and minimal sinkage. They’re an ideal option for back and stomach sleepers seeking firm surfaces to promote proper spinal alignment.
Medium firm mattresses feature thinner comfort layers that don’t contour as closely to the body, yet still accommodate most sleeping positions. Medium firm models also tend to stay cooler due to not cradling bodies so snugly, allowing heat dissipation more efficiently; plus they’re typically cheaper than soft models using thicker comfort systems.
Firm mattress models typically fall between a 7 and 8. These beds are the ideal choice for heavier sleepers as they provide a sturdy surface with no sinkage and have good longevity as long as you don’t overburden the bed. Firm models also make for great options for side sleepers who require additional support in their hips and shoulders.
Extra firm mattresses cater to a certain group of sleepers: heavy back and stomach sleepers may benefit from extra firm mattresses as it helps prevent spine pain and sagging over time, but for most other sleepers they can be uncomfortable as they offer little in terms of pressure relief or body contouring. That being said, an extra firm mattress might still work for those without back issues who prefer rigid surfaces; just make sure it contains high-quality materials that won’t break down over time.
Coils
Coils are a key feature of many mattresses and hybrid beds. They provide support, comfort, and pressure relief; but can have some drawbacks for heavy sleepers; for instance, certain coil systems move when your partner moves, which may disrupt restful slumber. To mitigate this issue, some manufacturers use pocketed coils, made of multiple smaller coils wrapped individually within fabric casing. This allows pressure response from each coil individually as each partner applies pressure; ultimately limiting motion transference for optimal sleeping quality for both partners.
Some companies also provide hybrid mattresses featuring individually pocketed coils and cooling gel memory foam to keep you cool while you sleep. The Big Fig mattress, for instance, combines 2″ of base foam and 6″ of pocketed coils into its structure; then its proprietary TitanFlex Foam and gel memory foam work together to reduce coil feel while providing soft support resulting in a neutral and stable feel – firm yet softer than an innerspring bed!
Helix Plus mattress features hundreds of extra long coils to support heavy people in every sleep position, according to Helix’s claims that this bed can support two 500-lb sleepers simultaneously and be very durable. Furthermore, each coil is wrapped with high density poly foam and latex foam padding for extra cushioning.
Helix offers its bed in various thicknesses ranging from 10″ to 13″, featuring 80 ILD foam edge support to prevent you from rolling off during the night or having difficulty getting up in the morning.
Helix mattresses combine coils with thick organic cotton euro pillow tops to keep you cool and comfy while sleeping. There are multiple firmness options available so that you can choose one that best matches your sleeping style and body type, and it comes with a 10-year warranty for added peace of mind.
Foam
People of larger stature typically require mattresses that provide ample support and comfort; however, many mattresses marketed as soft are unsuitable as they sag easily or don’t provide sufficient support. This can lead to discomfort in the back, hips, shoulders and neck. A medium or firm mattress would be more appropriate as memory foam or hybrid mattresses are designed specifically to avoid compression or rutting over time and come backed by long warranties.
The Titan Luxe Hybrid Mattress provides the best of both worlds with a solid layer of memory foam layered over an 8″ core of premium, individually encased TitanCaliber coils specifically engineered to accommodate larger bodies. This combination allows it to provide more support than memory foam mattresses while offering similar comfort as gel memory foam mattresses.
Memory foam mattresses provide a cushiony surface to support the shape of your body while dispersing your weight evenly across it. This can help relieve pressure points, ease back and shoulder pain, improve posture and posture and decrease pressure points. Unfortunately, however, memory foam may deteriorate over time from everyday use, becoming worn and eventually breaking down over time. Choosing one with CertiPUR-US Certified Foams ensures the materials used are safe for both your health and the environment.
Memory foam’s ability to minimize motion transfer can be especially helpful for couples or co-sleepers sharing one mattress, as it reduces sleep disturbance caused by movements such as tossing and turning.
Consider how frequently you plan to use it when selecting a mattress. If you tend to move around a lot during the night, a firmer mattress might offer more durability while light sleepers may prefer something softer that keeps them cool and comfortable while heavy sleepers should consider investing in a hybrid model that offers optimal support and comfort.
Accessories
Heavy individuals require additional accommodations when it comes to sleeping, due to the increased pressure placed upon their organs by extra weight that may create issues which impede restful slumber. Finding a mattress that provides firmness and support where necessary while also resisting sagging over time is of vital importance for their sleep quality. The ideal mattress for heavy people will consist of durable coils and memory foam that conform to each body part for support while relieving back pain. Furthermore, features like GlacioTex cooling covers may help alleviate body heat to promote restful sleep and some models even come equipped with mobile applications to track sleep quality or add notes about activities which could affect it either positively or negatively.
