I personally found these to be the best mattresses under $2,000, but my opinion is based on my size and weight – I’m 5’9″ and weigh 160 lbs. To give you the perspective of a larger person, I asked Marten, who is 6’7″ and weighs 230 lbs, to try these mattresses out for himself. Here’s what he thought about these mattresses and how well they work for heavier sleepers:

For larger individuals, it’s important to make sure the mattress is both supportive and comfortable enough. Heavier people often need to spend a bit more on a mattress to ensure it can handle their weight. Since these five mattresses are on the higher end, they’re all a relatively good fit for larger people.

Let me start with the Purple mattress. As Joe mentioned, what sets this mattress apart is its hyper-elastic gel polymer, which stays flat and supportive until enough pressure is applied. For me, being larger, it collapses more than it did for Joe, and it’s a good match for back and side sleeping. At the same time, it doesn’t collapse when I’m on my stomach.

The Aurora Luxe is a great match when I’m on my back and side. I get solid overall support when lying on my back and fantastic pressure relief from the mattress’s thick comfort layer.

Next, the Zenhaven is an all-natural, flippable mattress. The Gentle Firm side works great for back and stomach sleeping, while the Luxury Plush side is perfect for back sleeping.

With WinkBeds, customers have a variety of firmness options, and I tried both the Luxury Firm and WinkBeds Plus. The Luxury Firm works well for me when I’m on my back and side, but larger individuals who need extra support should opt for the Plus.

Lastly, the Helix Midnight Luxe offers supportive coils and soft comfort layers. I get great support and contouring when lying on my back and solid pressure relief when I’m on my side.
