Need Help Deciding?
For most sleepers, we recommend the Layla Memory Foam over the Big Fig Mattress. It scores higher in motion isolation, pressure relief, price-to-value and delivers stronger overall value. The Big Fig Mattress is the better choice only if you sleep hot and cooling is your top priority.
Big Fig Mattress vs Layla Memory Foam: What Actually Differs
The Big Fig Mattress is a hybrid build, while the Layla Memory Foam is a memory foam (innerspring-hybrid vs flippable) — that single difference drives most of the cooling, motion, and feel decisions below. The Big Fig Mattress stands 13" tall versus 10.5" for the Layla Memory Foam — a 2.5" gap that matters if you need deep-pocket sheets or are pairing with an adjustable base. The Big Fig Mattress is the firmer of the two at 7/10 (medium-firm), and the Layla Memory Foam sits at 5.5/10 (medium) — a meaningful enough gap that sleeper position and weight should drive the choice. The single largest performance gap is in cooling: the Big Fig Mattress rates noticeably higher than the Layla Memory Foam, which is the deciding factor if that dimension is high on your list. On a Queen, the Layla Memory Foam runs $949 versus $1,399 for the Big Fig Mattress — roughly $450 (32%) less, which is enough to factor into the decision unless the pricier model wins clearly on the specs you care about.
Which Is Better For Your Sleep Style?
Higher pressure-relief rating, which is what protects hip and shoulder contact points in the side position.
Firmness of 5.5/10 is closer to the medium-firm sweet spot back sleepers need for lumbar support (vs 7/10).
Firmer at 7/10 vs 5.5/10 — stomach sleepers need the extra support to keep the pelvis from sinking and arching the lower back.
Stronger cooling rating, which matters most for sleepers who run hot or live in warm climates.
better long-term durability and stronger perimeter / edge support — the two specs heavier sleepers should weight most.
Softer at 5.5/10 vs 7/10 — lighter sleepers compress less, so they typically need the softer of two options to get proper contouring.
Higher motion-isolation rating, which means less disturbance when a partner moves or gets out of bed.
