Mattress shopping is a daunting task for anyone, but it's particularly challenging if you weigh more than average. Fortunately, Big Fig has designed a mattress specifically for larger bodies, and during Big Fig's Black Friday sale, you can get it at a whopping $500 off. Big Fig addresses the fact that plus-sized people have unique needs when it comes to a comfortable sleep environment — what's "firm" to an average-sized sleeper may be too soft and unsupportive for a larger individual.
The best Big Fig Black Friday deal is on the brand's signature mattress ($500 off with code BFCM500 at checkout), but you can score 15% off on other products, like the platform bed frame, adjustable base, and mattress topper — all designed for larger bodies. This year's sale is better than last year's, which offered $450 off mattresses and no discount on accessories. If you're in the market for a mattress, this is the best deal you're likely to find on Big Fig all year.
Our sleep reporter tested the Big Fig Mattress and named it our top pick for heavier sleepers in our guide to the best mattresses. The medium-firm mattress can hold 550 pounds per sleeper (up to 1,100 pounds total), and unlike most mattresses, it was durability tested using a 350-pound weight to simulate 20 years of use. It also has thoughtful features plus-size sleepers will appreciate like Thermogel Cooling Technology to prevent night sweats.

Big Fig's Black Friday sale is running now through December 10.
Most mattresses are made and tested with sleepers who are 200 pounds or less in mind. If you weigh more than that, you may find a traditional mattress lacking in support. Mattresses designed for heavier individuals, like Big Fig, offer more support for a more comfortable night's sleep and longer durability.
