You might find yourself looking in Orange County mattress stores for an option that’s ideal for a heavier person. Let’s first clarify that “heavier” is a subjective term. If you weigh 100 pounds, then someone who is 200 pounds might seem pretty darn heavy, even if that person is at the peak of physical condition. For this article, let’s say that heavy is at least 200 pounds. If you’re a larger person, that doesn’t just mean that you should find a bigger bed and a bigger mattress and call it a day. You still need to find a mattress that’s comfortable for you, so let’s examine some options.
WinkBeds Plus
These mattresses are designed for larger people, including those upwards of 300 pounds. The Plus is a hybrid, with latex and foam over coils that provides comfort and support. It’s medium-firm, with a Tencel cover. This is designed to wick away moisture during the night. Around the perimeter there is increased edge support made from denser foam. This increases usable surface space. It comes with a 101-night trial and a 10-year warranty.
DreamCloud
The price is right with this choice, and it has a very thick mattress, suitable for heavier people. It’s a hybrid, made with several different materials. It has traditional springs, but also latex foam, memory foam, and polyfoam. It also has a pillow-top, tufting, handles on the sides, and a cashmere cover. What sets it apart might be the 365-night trial. That will give you plenty of time to decide whether it’s the right choice for you. If you sleep with a partner, you’ll also be glad to hear that motion transfer is minimized if you’re ever restless.
Avocado
Aside from having a cute name, the Avocado is eco-friendly, made with all-natural materials and no harmful chemicals. You can get it with an optional pillow-top made from Dunlop latex. In the coil layer is a zoned construction for extra support and relief where it is needed. In the middle third of the bed are springs with lower diameters which offer more support capabilities for the heavier individual. You get a 100-night trial, but even better is the unprecedented 25-year warranty.
You can try out these different options and see what works best for you. It’s always important for your body to have the support it needs at any size, so don’t compromise with just bigger. Make sure that you’re entirely comfortable too, or you’re sure to feel bleary throughout the day with an inferior quality of rest.
