The Mattress House is filmed with a live studio audience.
2 hours for coffee. Really? Alright,
I'll figure something out. Man,
I've got to get this video started. But I need a mattress expert
co-host. Are there other mattress experts who've done
this before? Did someone say co-host??
*audience laugh track*
Here are a few key considerations you want to think about when buying a
bed for heavier people. To start off, you want to think about firmness.
Here at Mattress Clarity, we rank mattresses on a scale from one to
ten, with six and a half being the industry standard for a medium firm bed.
However, for heavier bodies, we suggest firmer mattresses.
That's because it'll give them good support while they're sleeping. At the
same time, you want to think about your specific sleepers position. You want to
think about if you're a back sleeper, a good balance of comfort and support.
If you're a side sleeper, good pressure relief for your shoulders and your hips.
And if you're a stomach sleeper, you want more support under your hips. And
speaking of support, that's the last thing you want to think about.
Hybrid mattresses are going to have more support than an all-foam
model because of those sturdy coils at the bottom. This will make them
a lot more durable, and you shouldn't find sagging issues on a hybrid
bed. That's what you want to think about when you're looking for a mattress for
heavy people. But let's hop into our top pick. Sound good? Yes. Let's do it.
All right,
so first up, we have our Editors pick the Helix Plus Mattress.
Now, Helix is a great company. If you're not quite sure what you're looking for,
you can go on their website and take a sleep quiz. They'll help you find
the right mattress for your situation. If you're a larger
person like me, they might recommend the Helix Plus mattress, made specifically
with larger people in mind. It has extra supportive coils and
very high density foam made support heavier weights.
Also a nice cooling mattress, gel infusions, and a lot of room for airflow
with the coils. And last but not least, a good balance of comfort
and support. A great match for heavier backs and for side sleepers.
If you've explored Mattress Clarity before then, you know we love a Saatva
mattress, but for bigger bodies, Saatva made the Saatva HD.
This mattress comes in at an eight out of
ten on our firm scale, making it a quite firm hybrid bed.
And it's going to be a great pick for all sleeping positions. And that boils
down to its construction. It's got a plush pillow top
for comfort. And underneath that pillow top, you're going to find a zoned
Talalay latex comfort layer, which means it's going to feel firmer
in the center. It's going to give you great back support because
heavier bodies need lots of support. There are sturdy coils at the bottom to
give you just that. You're also not going to sleep too hot
on a Saatva HD because of those coils. It's going to have tons of room
for airflow and the latex foam layer is going to be naturally breathable.
So hot sleepers look into this mattress. Finally,
this is going to be a rather durable mattress. Saatva does not compress their
mattress into cardboard boxes and you can get them delivered
to you with white glove delivery.
So whether you're a heavier person or not, when you're shopping for a mattress,
you always want to think about your budget. If that's the case, you definitely
want to take a look at the Brooklyn Bedding mattresses. They actually own their
own factory, so they cut out the middleman and pass the savings onto you,
the customer. They also have some great mattresses made specifically with
heavier people in mind. The Titan mattresses. They have the Titan Luxe
Hybrid and the Titan Firm Hybrid. Today, we're talking about the
Titan Firm Hybrid. It has a great amount of support on
our firmness scale. A nine out of ten. Definitely a firmer mattress.
For you heavier back and stomach sleepers out there, you definitely want to
take a look at this mattress. Also a really good
match for hot sleepers with the coils. Again, a lot of room for airflow,
some gel infusion, and an additional cooling panel you can add right
on top of the mattress. A lot to love about the Titan Firm Hybrid,
so definitely check it out.
Back pain shouldn't keep you from seeing the wonders of the world.
And the WinkBeds Plus mattress is a great mattress for heavier
people with back pain. How does the WinkBed Plus help with
back pain? Well, it's got two layers of zoned support.
You've got a layer of zoned latex foam and a support
layer of zone coils. Zone support just means it's
going to feel firmer in the center, which is going to provide great lumbar
support and is what's going to help relieve back pain. This mattress comes in at
a seven and a half out of ten on our firmness scale, and we can
get a great pick for heavier back sleepers. And some heavy side sleepers might
enjoy this mattress too. Finally, you just won't sleep hot on a
WinkBeds Plus mattress. It's got a breathable Talalay latex comfort
layer. And with coils at the bottom, it's going to have tons of room for
airflow.
So looking at this list, you'll notice a lot of Hybrid and innerspring
mattresses. What if you want something with more of a memory foam design?
Well, that's where the Nectar Premier mattress comes in. This is a memory
foam, all-foam mattress with a great kind of slow moving memory foam
feel. If you like to lie down on your mattress and slowly sink in,
you definitely get that feel with the Nectar Premier. Also,
while it is a memory foam mattress, it good, supportive option. So if you're a
heavier back sleeper or a heavier side sleepers wants a good pressure relief.
Definitely good option for you. And while it is a memory foam
mattress, not a bad match for hot sleepers. It actually features something
called phase change material. It pulls the heat away from your body. Makes sure
you sleep cool throughout the night. And lastly, if you
want even more support, it pairs well with an adjustable base.
No need to travel up north to cool off. The GhostBed
Flex is going to send a shiver down your spine, but in a great way.
Marten, what are you doing? Doing like the GhostBed bit,
the sheet thing. It's not going to work. You're too tall. They're going to see
you. I can see your jeans.
OooooOOOOOO!!!
Anyway, here is what keeps the GhostBed Flex cool at night.
It's got a plush quilted cover on the top that's cool to the
touch. And in its comfort layer, you're going to find cooling fiber and gel
infused memory foam. This is going to pull heat away from your
body while you sleep. And with coils in the bottom, that's going to
have tons of room for airflow. So overall, you're not going to sleep hot on
the GhostBed Flex. This is a classic medium firm on our firmness scale,
making it a great pick for back and side sleepers. Finally, couples should
look into getting a GhostBed Flex for a hybrid bed. This handles
motion isolation a lot better than other hybrid beds on the market.
So if you share your bed with a partner, you shouldn't feel them transfer
positions or getting out of bed during the night.
Marten, I can literally see your jeans. It's still not working.
So if you're a heavier side sleepers, you want to find something relieved
pressure on your shoulders and your hips. It's really difficult. If you're a
larger person, you might drive into your mattress feel serious pressure on your
shoulders and your hips. That shouldn't happen on the Puffy Royal
Hybrid mattress. This is a very plush,
luxurious mattress, really going to relieve pressure in those troubled areas.
It also has a nice kind of balanced feel, so you get a little bit
of that slow moving, memory foam feel, but you won't feel stuck
at the same time. Some really good motion isolation when we tested
it out. So a good option for couples. And last but not least,
a good option for hot sleepers with the coils, a lot of room for airflow,
some good gel infusions for cooling. So you shouldn't be sleeping hot during the
night.
Do you love that pillow feeling running all throughout your mattress?
Well, the pillow top mattress of your dreams is the DreamCloud Premier.
It's a classic medium firm on our firmness skill, and it's got very
strong coils at the bottom, which heavier bodies need. Let's talk about what
makes it our favorite pillow top mattress. It's got a soft,
breathable cashmere cover on the outside. And in that you're
going to find that plush Euro-style pillow top. And right underneath
that you're going to have a thick layer of memory foam, which is going to
provide great comfort for back sleepers and fantastic pressure relief for side
sleepers.
Now, if you're a heavier stomach sleepers, you definitely want something firmer
than average to give you support under your hips. You don't want to bow in
there and get out of alignments. Heavier stomach sleepers definitely
want to take a look at the Big Fig mattress on a firmness scale.
An eight out of ten. Definitely a firmer than average mattress and
made to handle much heavier weights. Up to 1,000 pounds of
weight. So if you're a heavier person with a partner, you can both sleep
on this very easily. Also a good amount of bounce in response,
so easy to move around. And lastly, a good match
for hot sleepers. With the coils, a lot of room for airflow, some gel
infusions and a good match for back sleepers too.
Sleeping positions contain just as fast as travel plans,
so if you are a heavier combo sleeper, look at the Purple
Hybrid Premier 4 mattress. This is a bit of a
softer mattress, coming in at a six out of ten on our firmness scale.
But what makes it a great option for combo sleepers is that unique purple
grid. It's a bit of a soft material to the touch, but when it's compressed
it becomes very firm and supportive. And with coils
at the bottom, this combination makes it a great option for back
sleepers. But side sleepers are still going to get great pressure relief from
the grid too. So when a bed is great for back and side
sleepers, it's a combination sleepers dream. If you're
a heavier side sleeper, definitely look at the Purple Hybrid Premier 4.
Still got some questions about mattresses for heavy people?
Well, we got some answers for you. First question, what is best,
mattress for heavy people? We kind of just made a
video for you, but here's a quick recap. Our favorite mattress for
heavy people is the Helix Plus. But if you're a side sleeper, look at the
Puffy Royal. If you want that all foam feel,
get a Nectar mattress. But if you prefer a more springy mattress,
opt for the Saatva HD. So second question,
do mattresses have a weight limit? And the answer is yes, they do
have a weight limit. To find out the weight limit of your mattress, definitely
take a look at the brand website. If you're a larger person, you definitely want
to check this out because, for instance, the Big Fig is made to handle up
to 1,000 pounds. Final question, what should heavy
people think about when buying a mattress? Well, typically we're
going to suggest looking at hybrid or innerspring mattresses.
This is because the coils at the bottom will provide great support for any
sleeping position and hybrid beds tend to be made with more
durable materials. On all foam mattress, you also
want to look at a thick comfort layer because you want to make sure you're
getting a great amount of comfort and pressure relief depending on sleeping
position but you also don't want to sink too far into a thin comfort layer
and bottom out of your mattress and now must return to
my journeys. Well yeah, that makes sense. The video is over. Farewell Tony.
Wait, are you going to do more? Wait, Marten, are you coming back?
Yeah, you missed the whole video. What? Marten was here.
No honey. No Marten's in the Himalayas. I know
but he'll always be in our hearts. Okay? Wait. This isn't skim milk!
I waited 2 hours for this crap??? I'll be in my trailer!
