Analysis of Big Fig mattress for heavy people?

[phoenix]

Hi redditmike,

So how many lbs of polyfoam does the big fig have?

I don’t think you’re understanding how the foam is described. You’re not measuring the total weight of a mattress – you’re looking at the density (mass per unit volume) of each layer of foam. You provided the density of each layer of foam in your earlier post.

I would never question your integrity

You’re welcome to question it :cheer: , but I’m not a “reviewer”, and while I’m constantly offered free mattresses, I don’t accept them.

Also, was wondering if you could help me out, I threw my old mattress away after 6 years, it was something i bought at jc penney can’t remember what, but it was time to go as it was giving me back problems, it was warped to say the least. I bought a mattress firm mattress from hampton & rhoades called sherwood model or whatever…I feel like there is a bit of a sag already after only 5 or 6 months! anyway i spoke to the guy from Sleepopolis and he said One of the most common reasons a mattress may begin to sag is simply due a poor foundation.

Most modern mattresses “fail” due to the low quality foams they use, not the foundation. Most modern brands use rigid metal semi-flex cages or wood foundations for the base, which usually don’t fail before the low quality foams within the mattress, which is most likely what your old mattress and your current mattress contain. Now, if you are using an actual old coil box spring unit with a mattress, that will contribute to premature sag in most modern mattresses. And you need to make sure that your bed frame has a reinforced center beam.

Regarding an appropriate foundation, everything you need to know if explained in great detail in the foundation thread here.
