From Jon -
Hi, i am looking to purchase a new mattress set, and am looking at your site.
I weigh about 260 pounds (6’3") I was wondering if you reccomend certain brands over others. And/or certain bed lines in specific brands with more heavy duty construction, coils, padding etc.
I’m afraid to pick a mattress that will sag, and its cushion will compress quickly.
Can you give me some recomendations please.
Hi Jon,
Most of the time it is not the coil system that breaks down in a mattress, it is just the foam layers in the surface of the mattress that compress and conform to your body.
Unfortunately there is no way around this and there isn’t a mattress I can guarantee wont have body impressions over a period of time.
I can make some recommendations to you based on good quality construction and models that are liked by many of our customers. Ultimately the comfort is up to you – and a personal preference. So you need to know what kind of comfort is best for you; firm, plush, pillowtop, etc. Pillowtops tend to show the most body impressions due to having the most foam in them.

Sealy “SIGNATURE” Greenhurst Plush Mattress Set
This last link I am providing is a new mattress Simmons has come out with that is specifically designed to eliminate body impressions due to the Evenloft design on the surface of the mattress. However it has not been out on the market long enough for me to have any feedback for it. Take a look at the Simmons Beautyrest World Class Ella Evenloft Plush Pillowtop Mattress Set
