We love Big Fig, thanks to them we got the chance to check out their mattress not once but twice with two very specific options. The first of course was with their Solid Foundation Base, and their Adjustable Base. Both were of course with their amazing and powerful mattress that is designed for people of larger size.
However, I know one person’s opinion can be biased, so we let our mattress do the travelling and surveyed a select group of people to give us their insights into the product, and their thoughts after a month of use with the two options.
We created a collection of questions and asked them all to see what their thoughts, that way you can see what other’s thought, before checking out our final conclusion on the bottom. So let’s jump into this and see what others think of Big Fig!
With regard to your prior sleeping arrangements, did you sleep well on your mattress?
For the most part out of our collection of 5 people, everyone did not sleep well, with several waking up points throughout the night to re-adjust and position to eliviate painful pressure on hips and shoulders. One of our users prior mattresses were so warped it had formed a gully which made it comfortable, but ruined the sleeping and intamacy experience for their loved ones because they would always feel like they were rolling down mattress from their side.
With your new mattress, do you sleep well now?
Of all our users they noticed an improvement in their sleep. One person specifically only received a small but noticeable improvement, while others slept through the entire night, and stopped suffering pressure pains, or tossing and turning.
Was there an adjustment period, and if so, what was the adjustments and were they worth making?
The mattress is extremely firm, and most larger users haven’t had the benefit of being able to enjoy that feeling. For one of our users they reported waking up stiff the first night, and by the thrid night noticed they no longer felt sore from sleeping on the bed. Other users say they took to the mattress instantly or quickly. One of our users swore of the benefits of finally being able to, and feeling comfortable sleeing on their back due to the beds forming to them, and not feeling pain due to the void of their hips and back. Additionally, the bed is very helpful for users with a CPAP because if you had to shift to your side with a normal bed, it can dislodge the mask and wake you.
What were your major complaints with your prior mattress?
Most people’s problems with their mattress was that it was old, and with time got uneven, developed a gully, or a sink hole that made them unable to sit on the edge, or enjoy quality sleep time.
Did this new mattress resolve any or all of your complaints, and if not all, which complaints?
When asked about the benefits, everyone talked about how the mattress feels strong, sturdy, they can sit on the edge and it doesn’t feel like it will become uneven with time. With reguards to the adjustable base, the users loved how it can raise to help with snoring, or raise the feet to help with foot swelling or back pain.
What sleeping position do you normally sleep in?
Most of the users prior to the Big Fig were all side sleepers. Some having a long history of sleeping in different positions, before being forced in recent years, due to pain or difficulty breathing, to be a side sleeper.
What sleeping position do you find yourself using most on your new mattress?
Most users are still sticking to being side sleepers, with one feeling excited to return to sleeping on what ever side they feel like, or works best for them and their partner.
What is your favorite feature of the Big Fig Product, or products that you are using?
Overall, all the users love the sturdy and stable feel of the Big Fig mattress, but additional features once again comes to the adjustable nature of the upgrade base. They also highly recommend picking up the cooling sheets as they sleep sounder without having to toss and turn to pull the covers off when they overheat.
Would you recommend this mattress to other people, and why?
When asked if they would recommend this mattress to others, they all stated resoundingly “Yes!” For anyone over 200 pounds, it’s a great bed to last for years, and good for people who want to return to sleeping on their backs, or need a CPAP machine.
Our Final Thoughts
I will say again, as we said before, this is an incredibly firm mattress. A lot of people are not going to be used to that, especially in the larger community. So a lot of instant thoughts are going to be that this is a bad mattress. One of our sample group parties felt that right away, but after a couple nights, and getting used to the bed, they fell back in love with it. So don’t let your first thoughts control your long term benefits from the mattress.
As for quality, it’s hard to tell how long they will last, but due to their contruction and their weight maxes, you are definitely going to get your moneys worth on these mattresses, when compaired to matresses that are going to bust or flatten over time.
We hope you guys have like our review, and if you want to pick up your own, you can do so Here!
