Hi Loves! We are stepping away from fashion today to talk beauty sleep. I am busy ALL the time. So, one of the main things I worry about is getting enough sleep. It really makes such a difference. When I am getting adequate sleep not only do I have more energy but my skin looks better, I think more clearly and in general I am a more pleasant person. This girl loves to sleep. I recently went to a few events where Big Fig Mattress was a vendor and was able to try out their product and talk to their team. Also, I spoke to some of plus size babes that have a Big Fig and they all raved about it! I had to have one! So, when The Big Fig team reached out to send me a mattress for me to review, I was beyond excited. I will tell you it is truly a Sleep Fit for a Plus Size Queen.
About Big Fig
Big Fig Mattress designed their product with the wants and needs of the bigger frame in mind. Just as you buy clothes or hair products that fit your specific needs, doesn’t it make sense to do the same with something that you spend SO much time using? Now, I am very particular about who I align myself with and share with you guys. Big Fig is truly a great company! They are very involved in the body positive movement and made their mattresses for the very under served big & tall community. They put time and effort into researching exactly what the needs are of the plus size community when it comes to getting the most out of their mattress.
“Stay positive, value your identity, Fig’Git about negativity, and always… always, get a good night’s rest.” -BigFig
Part of their mission states, “Stay positive, value your identity, Fig’Git about negativity, and always… always, get a good night’s rest.” Now that is a message I can 100% get behind. They built their mattress so well that they guarantee them to last you for 20 years! That is bananas! I am pretty sure I that my last mattress was older than that but I had to use mattress pads and all kinds of tricks to get a pleasant nights sleep on that thing.
The Perks
I received my mattress about a few month ago. At first I had trouble adjusting. I had been sleeping on a very soft mattress for years. So, after a couple months my body adjusted and now I am sleeping like a baby angel. I am impressed (and well rested). Honestly, one of my biggest challenges and complaints at night was getting too hot! As I stated before, I relied on mattress toppers for comfort but those always made me end up waking up in a sweat. Not with the Big Fig, it has ThermoGel treated fabric. I know your like, “Wait, it has what?” This fabric lowers the body temperature to keep you calm, cool and comfortable as well as gel infused latex foam layers that have been perforated for air flow.
Ever had a mattress that sagged and you ended up rolling to the middle of the bed every night? Well the 3 layers of High Density poly foam that prevents any sagging nonsense from taking place. Let me tell you that sleeping on these 1600 individually wrapped coils (which btw, is 50% more that the average innerspring mattress) is dreamy! Also, don’t worry about those edges when you want to sit on the side of the bed, 80 ILD Edge Foam adds extra strength and solid edge support.
My Thoughts
Well, if you haven’t figured it out by now, I would 100% recommend you checking out Big Fig if you are looking for a truly great sleeping experience or you want to upgrade your current sleeping situation. For this review, I received a queen size mattress and the 5 inch standard foundation, there is also a 9 inch foundation option for you tall people. Foundation is included with your mattress purchase as well as free shipping! I also, got a bed frame with my order which is available to add on to your purchase.
As a single lady, I am not currently sharing my bed with a partner (more room for me!), but I did have some little invaders in the form of two 5 year olds recently. My niece and nephew had a sleep over at my house the other day and while they had a play room all to themselves, they clearly wanted the Big Fig experience too, because look where they ended up.
Yep, they came crawling in my bed and passed out. One of them sleeps like a rock, like he doesn’t move at all. The other one though, watch out, you may get a black eye from all the tossing and turning she does. One thing I noticed having to share my awesome mattress with these little people was that no matter how much they moved around I never felt a thing. She could have been doing the entire thriller dance next to me and it wouldn’t have disturbed me at all. This mattress is made WELL!
What are you waiting for? If my review doesn’t convince you, just look at the smile on those kids from a well rested night sleeping on the Big Fig Mattress.
Thanks for reading!
