For heavy individuals, a mattress needs to offer exceptional support, durability, and pressure relief to accommodate their weight and ensure a comfortable night’s sleep.
Pressure Relief: While firm support is important, the mattress should also offer some level of pressure relief to reduce discomfort on high-pressure areas like the hips and shoulders.
Edge Support: Good edge support helps prevent the feeling of rolling off the mattress and maximizes usable space.
Firmness: A firmer mattress is usually better for heavier individuals to prevent excessive sinkage and maintain proper spinal alignment.
