Xtended Life

You don’t need a “big persons bed” the foams on all those beds aren’t going to really last longer, or they would put a better warranty on it. If yo are dead set going for a bed that is geared towards heavier people look for the Xtended life from King Koil. They have a 1/2 in depression over 15 years to get 100% replacement. Best warranty I have seen in 19 years selling mattresses. My worry, is you seem to like a softer feel and even the Overture pillow top (line of Xtended life) is only a true medium. But, don’t buy form just cause you think it will last longer, just going to create new issues

Neither bed is going to help you sleep cool at night. At this price point the beds aren’t helping you sleep cool, they are keeping you from sleeping hot. Big fig is going to KILL your shoulders. If you have shoulder pain you should not be looking medium firm to firm; you should be medium to soft. Big Fig is also going to kill your husbands hip. These beds “geared towards bigger people are just beds with less foam on them usually. The reason they “hold up better” is because there is little to no padding to break down. If you are dead set on finding a bed for a bigger person look for the King Koil Xtended life pillow top. It has the best warranty of any mattress I ever sold, and a really decent support unit. But it has a pillow top so it will help with pressure point issues you both have.

I recently bought a mattress and I'm glad I went to some stores and tried them out first. I learned I don't like memory foam. I ended up getting a King Koil hybrid latex and I love it. It was expensive, but my back pain has almost completely disappeared so I'm not too mad about it. I found a few stores too that had examples of online bed in a box mattresses so you could try them first.

Bought a King Koil latex mattress for $3k. Less than 1 year, there was sagging in the middle.

I have been telling this for years, bought a super premium 12 inch foam mattress and I used to sink in it, the only saving grace was their return policy, went to the local market and got a spring pocket mattress from King Koil.

You don’t need to spend $10k. So you need to go try a few out; I recommend only trying 3 max on one trip. Personally, I go to Macy’s furniture gallery (the bigger the better) b/c they have a large selection of brands. Personally I have a king size King Koil and love it. Just remember 1. Ask them how long it has been on display. The longer it’s been out the more “broken in” it will be. So your new mattress will be a lot firmer (between 10-25% depending on how long the floor model has been in display). 2. Take your time and lay there for a while and in different positions. To ensure you’re well supported and comfortable. 3. Buying a mattress and finding one can be the most frustrating experience. That’s why I recommend to only try 3 per visit and also t
