How much do you weigh?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If you weigh more than average, take that into consideration when choosing a mattress. An innerspring mattress<\/a> or hybrid mattress<\/a> with a thicker-gauge spring will provide the firmer support that you need. Innersprings are also more breathable than foam mattresses, so they can help you stay cooler throughout the night. Other things to think about if you’re heavy are mattress thickness\u2014too thin and it won’t be comfortable or durable\u2014and edge support, so you can sit or lie close to the edge without feeling like it’s going to collapse. (Here’s how to find the best mattress for heavy people<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n When it comes to mattress materials, heavier people may want to think twice about memory foam, Breus says. Because memory foam<\/a> conforms to the sleeper’s body, it can make a heavy person feel a little stuck. \u201cIt’s heat activated, so it molds to your body and can trap you there,” he says. If you prefer the feeling of foam, look for a higher-density foam with cooling features or consider latex, which is buoyant and breathable. At the other end of the spectrum, people who are on the lighter side do better with a softer, more pillow-like comfort layer that can help make up for a lack of natural padding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Find the right mattress for your body type at Saatva<\/p>\n \n Our flagship luxury mattress is expertly engineered with coil-on-coil construction for durability, a layer of memory foam for enhanced back support, and a cushiony Euro pillow top for extra comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n \n \n Shop Now\n <\/a>\n <\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n This hybrid mattress combines the pressure-free support of natural latex with the classic innerspring feel.

Particularly tall people might want the roominess of a California king. At 84 inches, it’s 4 inches longer than a standard king (76 by 80 inches) or queen (60 by 80 inches).<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mattress thickness comes into play here as well. Standard mattresses range from 8 to 12 inches thick, while pillow-top styles can be as deep as 20 inches or more. Shorter people might find it awkward to climb up on one of the deeper styles\u2014especially if it’s going on top of a platform base\u2014while those who are taller will be more comfortable with a mattress that’s higher off the ground. When shopping for the best mattress for your body type, take into account the height of any bed frame or foundation before deciding on ideal mattress depth.

As with so many things in coupledom, compromise is key, but one solution, if you have space, is a split king bed, which consists of two twin XL mattresses side by side in a frame. That way each person can have the level of firmness he or she desires. You should also consider an adjustable air bed<\/a>, which features the ability to change the firmness on your side of the bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more advice, check out our mattress-buying tips for couples<\/a> and our guide to the differences between memory foam and innerspring<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" There’s no one size fits all” when it comes to mattresses.
