Big Fig Luxe

If your budget allows, I’d recommend going for the higher-end models from brands designed for sleepers with bigger bodies(like Big Fig or Titan). Their premium versions usually add features like pillow tops or cooling covers, so you get strong support without that overly hard, uncomfortable feel. They tend to land around a medium-firm range and are built to hold up well over time. For more specific recs, I have the Titan Plus Elite myself and it was 10000% worth it. The Big Fig Luxe made me want to buy it when I tested it also. And, if you would prefer the firmer feel, the Titan Plus Core is less plush but still super supportive without being rigid.

If you really like it and it's in budget, the Tempur-Pedic TEMPUR-LuxeBreeze is solid and should hold up, I'd get that if you're able to in person (depending how hassle-free the return policy is). If you just need an supportive mattress that functions fine on a basic bed frame, I'd put my money on one of the Titan Plus beds. The base model (Core) is affordable and holds up really well. I have the Titan Plus Elite myself because I was having a similar sagging problem with the mattress I had before it, and I can't praise it enough. I know it's not convenient, but online mattresses typically offer an at-home sleep trial so you can return it if you don't like it. Good luck!

Yep, Big Fig is another good one. If I had to buy a mattress now, I'd go with whatever is cheapest/has the best promotion going between those two (and has the best trial policies incase it's not a fit).

I DO NOT recommend big fig. They are SO uncomfortable. I got the luxe which is supposed to be the softest ones they have and this shit is like sleeping on the floor. My back hurts so bad I’ve actually bought 2 pillow tops in hopes of salvaging it. I’ve had it for a month so I can still send it back but getting it was a fuckin nightmare to begin with I don’t wanna deal with getting another mattress if I can make this work. It also sags on the edges like a mf. I’ll actually slide off if I don’t sit ALL the way back with my knees to the mattress. I weigh 275 now so I’m not even near the top of their market demographic considering they’marketing these to people 500lbs+. It has not been pleasant in MY experience

I know big fig comes with a 20 year warranty but they’re made for people 250lbs plus and might be too firm for you. I’m currently on the big fig luxe cost me $1700 but they also had the firm and extra firm styles for cheaper. But again they’re made for large people and built very heavy duty.

i have the big fig luxe and am a slide sleeper who is hypermobile and i love it! it doesnt have a dent after 10 months (unheard of for my mattresses) and is soft enough on my joints. if its not soft even with the luxe you can buy the soft topper as well

imo "cooling gel" is marketing fluff since foam in general tends to trap heat no matter how many buzzwords they slap on it. if you’re a legit hot sleeper, airflow is everything. latex and hybrids with coils both do way better because there’s space for air to move I run hot too and ended up switching to a hybrid from Big Fig and it’s literally one of the most favorite adult things I've ever bought. the coils keep it breathable and it’s firm enough that you don't sink in and overheat
