A Mattress for Very Heavy People.

Mike writes: 

Hi Pete,

My wife and I are very heavy people, 350/300 lbs.
Prior to finding your blog, we’ve been through several different mattresses in the last couple of years. Even the Big Fig mattress didn’t hold up under our weights.
I’ve read on your blog about Natura of Canada Greenspring Mattresses.
As I understand it, these are the mattresses that you recommend for heavy folks.
One of these mattresses is what we’ll be buying next.
The question is, which one?
The ultra plush sounds like it would be too soft, and the firm model too firm.
That leaves Luxury Firm or Plush.
Making this more complicated is my wife’s sore hips. She’s a side sleeper.
What is your recommendation?
Thanks, Mike

Hi Mike,
I appreciate you taking the time to read my blog.
You’ve done a great job of narrowing it down.
My wife and I have had the ultra plush for more than 10 years. 
Due to the high quality of the components, it’s not as soft as it sounds.
My wife also has a hip issue, so we added a soft latex topper to fix that.
You’ll need to do the same.

We are, each, over 200 lbs., so I would recommend that you start with the plush model…and add a 2” soft latex topper.
We have family members at your sizes. 
The plush model/topper combination is what works for them, as it will for you.
Here are links to that mattress and to the Latex for Less latex toppers.

If you need a foundation/boxspring, the Magniflex KD Foundation is what we recommend…available in your choice of height and color.

They are very strong and assemble easily with no tools needed.m

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

Keeping your mattress clean and dry and will enhance the longevity of your mattress and keep it odor free.
