Heavy sleepers require mattresses designed specifically to support their weight without premature sagging, so mattresses tailored for heavier people typically feature thicker coils and more layers than standard models.
Hybrid mattresses are also great options for heavier sleepers as they combine individually wrapped coils with memory foam or latex comfort systems to ensure they’re durable enough for plus-size sleepers.
Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid
The Amerisleep AS5 Hybrid Mattress is a soft mattress available in multiple sizes. Prices begin at $1799 for twin and go all the way up to $2299 for California king. The mattress cover features breathable poly-knit cotton material which can be machine washed, while its base layer contains Bio-Core foam to prevent premature bed sagging. Furthermore, Amerisleep’s HIVE transition layer uses surface modification technology for zone support in all areas of the body including back, shoulders, hips etc – one team member reported back pain relief after just several nights of sleeping on this mattress!
The hybrid AS5 mattress from Amerisleep features pocketed coil support layers that add extra cushioning, helping promote better spinal alignment and minimize sinkage into the mattress. Additionally, this layer reduces motion transfer while dissipating heat throughout its layers – further helping prevent heat retention by dispersing heat evenly across each mattress layer. Despite being Amerisleep’s softest mattress yet providing support without compromising softness. Furthermore, its Active Flex layer adds buoyancy to keep spine alignment.
Though soft, the Amerisleep AS5 mattress remains fairly durable and should stand up over time. Like all Amerisleep mattresses, the AS5 comes equipped with a 20-year warranty and 100-night sleep trial at no additional charge for shipping and returns.
This mattress is ideal for heavy people seeking a soft mattress with excellent support. The hybrid construction provides the best of both worlds by combining memory foam comfort with durable coil support. Furthermore, its anti-sagging layer helps prevent sagging while helping keep you cool while sleeping on it.
The Amerisleep AS5 mattress is constructed of open-celled Bio-Pur foam that promotes airflow to help alleviate overheating, but may sleep warm at times for those prone to night sweats. If that is the case for you, however, perhaps a cooling mattress might be more appropriate.
Loom & Leaf
For those tired of feeling like they’re sinking into memory foam mattresses, Loom & Leaf may be the solution. Crafted by hand using organic cotton quilt cover material and featuring multiple layers of gel-infused foam for cooling – including spinal cooling gel laminated right under your lumbar area – as well as 2-inch transitional foam that determines firmness of rest of bed and 5-inch base support foam layers, this mattress provides relief without sinking too deep into it!
This mattress comes in both Relaxed Firm and Firm models, so it should be easy for you to find one that’s suitable for your sleeping style. Back and stomach sleepers should opt for Relaxed Firm to avoid back pain from sagging; side sleepers who weigh over 230 pounds will find Relaxed Firm will provide sufficient support without over-sinking their hips or shoulders.
Memory foam in this mattress responds quickly to changes in body weight, conforming to your shape for comfortable sleeping and providing good edge support – perfect for couples sharing the bed! While more costly than average memory foam mattresses, frequent Saatva sales make this luxury accessible at an affordable price point.
Another great feature is its built-in power strip for easily adjusting firmness of this mattress. Simply turn either knob to increase or decrease firmness on either side, perfect for couples who require personalized sleep styles.
Memory foam mattresses may feel warm for some people who naturally have cooler sleeping temperatures, as well as not providing as much bounce or movement as innerspring or coil mattresses do. Although they might not be an ideal option for heavy sleepers who require plenty of movement during the night. Still worth considering though if memory foam is your preference and budget is your concern.
Zenhaven
Saatva offers the Zenhaven mattress, a flippable natural latex bed designed to be used both sides, as an eco-friendly manufacturer with an impeccable reputation. Made of organic cotton and wool fabrics that are hypoallergenic and anti-microbial to reduce exposure to potentially harmful chemicals during sleep. Furthermore, using all-natural materials makes the Zenhaven breathable while keeping sleepers cool throughout the night.
This mattress offers two firmness options; medium soft and gentle firm. The company recommends most sleepers opt for the medium soft side; heavier people may want to test out both options first before choosing which they prefer. Note, though, that back and stomach sleepers require firmer surfaces in order to maintain spinal alignment and may find the softer option too soft for their comfort.
No matter which side is used, the Zenhaven mattress provides pressure relief that most sleepers will appreciate. Its layer of luxurious plush Talalay latex has been carefully zoned to offer extra support under hips and shoulders while giving more cushion in lumbar area. Furthermore, its resilient construction allows it to withstand higher body weight without sinking too far down. It’s an ideal option for heavy people.
As with other latex mattresses, the Zenhaven mattress features plenty of bounce while offering enough firmness to prevent sinkage for most sleepers. Its quilted top adds another layer of comfort, and its lumbar support keeps your spine aligned while sleeping. Unfortunately, its main drawback lies in its ineffective motion transfer prevention capabilities; this could be problematic for couples that tend to move around during sleep.
The Zenhaven mattress comes in various sizes and ships free to all 50 United States. Each mattress is handcrafted when ordered, so lead times typically range between 9-21 days from date of purchase until completion and installation by professionals. Furthermore, Zenhaven offers a 365-night sleep trial as well as limited lifetime warranty coverage on every mattress they sell.
Avocado Green
Avocado Green mattresses have earned great praise since their introduction on the market, featuring all-natural and organic materials and eco-friendly manufacturing processes. Both Green and Vegan models share similar features: both boast organic cotton covers button-tufted by hand (similar to farmers markets) while their wool cover provides natural fire resistance, thanks to GOTS certification from company farms; its core can hold up to 1,414 8″ pocketed coils, plus it comes equipped with the option to add a pillow top layer.
The Green’s zone coiled structure makes it an excellent option for heavier back sleepers, providing extra support where needed most. With its medium firmness and perfect Goldilocks-esque “Goldie Locks sweet spot”, most sleepers should find comfort here; however, lighter side sleepers or stomach sleepers who require softness may find this mattress too rigid.
Heavy sleepers typically move about during the night, requiring their mattress to have high responsiveness. Latex and innerspring mattresses differ from foam beds in this regard by being more resilient; latex can return quickly when you reposition yourself while foam cannot. The Green is ideal for this use – its responsiveness allows you to make changes without feeling trapped or stuck!
Though The Green Mattress may be ideal for back, stomach, and combination sleepers, its firmness and below-average pressure relief might lead to hip or shoulder discomfort over time. If this is a concern for you, perhaps consider switching models or adding an extra layer of foam padding for more relief.
Customers tend to praise the Green mattress’s responsiveness, support and temperature regulation – with many noting its ability to alleviate back pain while providing a comfortable night’s rest at an excellent value for price.
Some customers have noted the Green’s firmness and lack of edge support as being typical for bed-in-a-box mattresses in general. Others report indentations after years of use that decrease comfort levels or lead to body aches.
