Evaluation of best mattresses for heavy people

🧪 How We Evaluate Mattresses

It may seem straightforward, but we start with the most honest test: actually sleeping on the mattresses ourselves. Of course, there’s more to it than that. Every mattress we review also undergoes a series of objective tests using tools like calibrated weights, spirit levels, and temperature sensors. These help us assess performance metrics such as firmness, heat regulation, edge support, and motion transfer.

🧍‍♂️ Testing Mattresses for Heavier Sleepers

The feel of a mattress can change depending on the type of bed base it’s paired with. For instance, a slatted frame might create a slightly springier surface than a solid divan base. While we can’t test every model on multiple bases, we always factor this into our final evaluation.

When reviewing, we also consider the overall value for money. Mattresses aren’t a cheap purchase, so we weigh in things like delivery speed, warranty terms, and trial periods—especially important in the bed-in-a-box segment, where at-home testing is a major perk.
