From Mary -
I was wondering if you can give me any information related to a person’s wieght? My husband and I both are quite large and we have been unable to find a good bed. The bed I had worked for me but not long after we shared the bed did it seem to lose comfort. We bought a new bed 7 or 8 months ago and the past several months we have found it to be quite uncomfortable. When we first bought it was fine but after a couple of months it has worn quickly infact you can see exactly where my husband’s behind goes. I have to believe that it is from our wieght. Can you give me any suggestions or information related to finding a bed for us due to our wieght? I look forward to your help.
Hi Mary,
Larger individuals usually do quite well on a Stearns and Foster mattress due to the high quality comfort foams and thicker inner-spring.
From a durability standpoint, firm mattresses are generally very durable, but not always comfortable. What I recommend to customers looking for a mattress that is durable and comfortable is to go with a firm Stearns and Foster, and then add an aftermarket mattress topper to the mattress to increase the softness. This works better than going with a pillowtop mattress that can develop indentations quickly.
