Mattresses Popular With Heavy Sleepers

What to Look For

• •Choose a mattress at least 12 inches tall — thinner beds compress too much under greater body weight, reducing support and shortening lifespan.
• •Hybrid mattresses with high coil counts are preferred; the coil system provides the structural durability that pure foam beds often lack at higher weights.
• •Excellent edge support is non-negotiable — weak edges sag quickly under concentrated weight when sitting or sleeping near the perimeter.
