Why We Got Rid of our Big Fig Mattress

| | Updated:

Researching the Big Fig mattress and wondering if it's a good fit for heavy people who want a good night's sleep? Read on.

We recently got rid of our Big Fig mattress in order to… drumroll pleaseget another Big Fig mattress in a larger size! We moved to a bigger home (more on that later) and wanted a little more room to stretch out now that we have that luxury. Our last mattress from Big Fig was in perfect condition after several years, so we moved it up to the guest house / granny flat / studio / I haven't yet decided what we're calling that above-the-garage-space. We reached out to Big Fig to see if they'd like to work with us again, and here we are.

Buh-bye cozy queen, hello California King!

So I should come right out and apologize RIGHT NOW that the title of this post is a total bait-and-switch. I'm only *kind of* sorry. Here's why: I rave about this mattress to everybody who enters my home! I figured that a title like “Why We Got Rid of our Big Fig Mattress” would probably get a fair amount of click-throughs from folks trying to figure out if this mattress is a good fit for them, and I wanted the chance to explain to you that after not just one but TWO Big Fig mattresses – it's a resounding yes from us. The unparalleled comfort and durability of the Big Fig mattress – coupled with its accessible price point – make this the top choice for those seeking a good night's sleep.

Why we Originally Chose the Big Fig Mattress

Long-time readers probably know the history of me and my husband. I was a year older than Nate when he encountered me in our hallway dorm at UCLA and was all, “How you doin?” a la Joey from Friends. Having lived next not one, not two, but THREE football players in my previous dorms, I took one look at him and was like, “No football players!” a la Edna Mode from The Incredibles (even though I thought he was the finest man to ever put on a Bruins jersey).

Almost a year later, this persistent guy managed to finally get me into his (lumpy, hard, dorm-sized) bed.

The rest is history. A very long history of Nate and I battling extremely uncomfortable mattresses. His large-and-in-charge offensive lineman stature quickly made mincemeat of most beds. With multiple different mattresses, over time, in his sleep he managed to shift the bulk of the filling over to the side that was innocently attempting to transport my smaller stature through dreamland. His half would inevitably go all pancakey while mine would balloon up and we'd flip it just to toss and turn even more. It was rough, for a long time.

Until we finally, finally found Big Fig.
