Best Mattress for Very Heavy People.

Beth Ann writes: 

Hi Pete,

My husband and I are both very heavy people. 

We’re both young, 30’s, with no physical problems as yet.

He is just under 6 foot tall and about 360 lbs. 

Where as I'm 5'2" and 240lbs. 

I was wondering what mattress would be best for us, that’s both, long lasting and comfortable.

Thanks, Beth Ann


Hi Beth Ann,

The most durable and comfortable type of mattress is Pure, Organic and Hypoallergenic Latex Foam Rubber….has been for the last 100+ years.

In fact, I have family members that have been sleeping on an all latex mattress for quite a few years. They, too, are on the young side. And, both of them are heavier than the two of you.


We have a couple of manufacturers who are making pure latex mattresses.

Suite Sleep on the higher end, Latex for Less on the lower end.

Frankly, you can’t go wrong with either.


Suite Sleep offers Talalay Latex and Two Sided flippable models.

Latex for Less is all Dunlop Latex.

The latex used by both brands is Pure, Organic Latex.

Here are links to both:

You never want to put a new mattress on an old foundation.

Doing so will void the warranty of any mattress.

If you need a new boxspring/foundation, I recommend the Magniflex KD Foundation, which comes in your choice of height and color.

They’re very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed.

They are upholstered foundations, a bit dressy, but reasonably priced.

Also recommended is a waterproof mattress protector, which prevents perspiration from seeping into the upholstery materials.

Keeping your mattress clean and dry and odor free will enhance longevity.


The Sleep & Beyond Organic Cotton Waterproof Mattress Protector is my recommendation…the one we use at home.

It sleeps cool and works well.
