Best Mattress for Heavy People Nap Lab
As one of the most awarded mattress brands for heavy sleepers, the Titan Plus Elite was recently featured in a mattress round up for Best Mattress for Heavy People by Nap Lab.
Here is what Nap Lab had to say about the Titan Plus Elite:
"The Titan Plus Elite is a 14″ plus-sized mattress designed for heavier sleepers up to 500 lbs, per side (1,000 for the total mattress). It uses a combination of quilted cover, poly foam, microcoils, and a pocketed coil unit to provide robust support and comfort.
This mattress has deep sinkage and moderate levels of bounce—a good combination for sleepers looking for that deeper contour, but don’t want to feel stuck.
The Plus Elite is available in a single firmness, 6 out of 10, and with a medium-firm feel. This firmness is suitable for a wide range of sleepers and a bit softer than many plus-sized mattresses (which are often slightly firm).
In our performance tests, the Plus Elite earned an overall score of 8.95, ranking the mattress in the top 24% of all mattresses tested to date."

When searching for the best mattress for heavy people, it’s crucial to focus on support, durability, and comfort to ensure a restful night’s sleep. For plus-size sleepers, choosing a mattress that accommodates extra weight while providing the necessary comfort is key. Here’s a quick guide to help you make the right choice.
Best Mattress Types for Heavy Sleepers
When shopping for a mattress, it’s essential to select one that offers both durability and the right level of support. The top mattress types for plus-size sleepers include:
- Hybrid Mattresses: Combining foam layers with pocketed coils, hybrid mattresses offer excellent support and comfort. The coils provide durability while the foam layers ensure pressure relief, making hybrids a top choice for heavy people. The Titan Plus Elite Mattress is specifically designed to accommodate heavier individuals, offering the perfect balance of comfort and support.
- All-Foam Mattresses: These mattresses feature memory foam or high-density foam layers for pressure relief. While they offer great comfort, they may not provide the long-term support and durability of hybrid models.
- Latex Mattresses: Latex offers firm support and is naturally pressure-relieving, making it a good option for big people. However, hybrid mattresses generally offer more support and durability.
Among these, hybrid mattresses like the Titan Plus Elite are often the best choice for plus-size sleepers because they provide optimal support, comfort, and durability.
Key Considerations: Support, Firmness, and Edge Support
The right mattress firmness and support are essential for heavy sleepers. Here’s what to consider:
- Firmness: A medium-firm to firm mattress (6.5–8/10) is typically best for plus-size people to prevent sinking, especially in the hips and lower back.
- Back & Stomach Sleepers: Firmer mattresses offer better spinal alignment.
- Side Sleepers: A softer mattress may help cushion the hips and shoulders for better comfort.
- Edge Support: Strong edge support is vital for heavier individuals. Look for mattresses with reinforced edges, such as high-density foam or robust coils, to ensure durability when sitting or sleeping near the sides.
Cooling Features for Plus-Size Sleepers
Heat retention can be an issue for heavy sleepers, so cooling features are essential. The Titan Plus Elite Mattress comes with a GlacioTex+ Cooling Cover, designed to regulate temperature and prevent overheating. This advanced cooling technology ensures you stay cool and comfortable throughout the night, even for plus-size sleepers.
Mattress Thickness for Plus-Size People
For plus-size sleepers, a mattress that’s 10 inches or thicker is recommended. Thicker mattresses provide better weight distribution, prevent sagging, and offer long-lasting comfort. The Titan Plus Elite provides the right thickness to ensure proper support and prevent discomfort.
Why the Titan Plus Elite is Ideal for Heavy Sleepers
The Titan Plus Elite Mattress is specifically engineered for heavy sleepers and stands out for the following features:
- Hybrid Construction: Combining high-density foam with durable coils, the hybrid design offers exceptional support and lasting comfort.
- GlacioTex+ Cooling Cover: The built-in cooling cover helps maintain an optimal sleep temperature, ensuring you stay cool all night long.
- Reinforced Edge Support: Ensures comfort even when sitting or sleeping near the edge of the mattress, offering maximum durability.
