Big Fig Mattress Review: For Plus-Sized Sleepers

Big Fig Mattress

Big Fig mattress is the first online mattress designed specifically for plus-sized folks (up to 500 lbs per person).

The Big Fig was designed from the ground up for larger sleepers. It incorporates resilient foam, steel coils and a sturdy design to ensure you get maximum support and 20 years of use.

At the same time, the Big Fig is very comfortable with a soft/plush top that stays cool and feels surprisingly luxurious.

Big Fig is built extra-strong, too, which explains their market-beating 20-year warranty.

The only major downsides: Big Fig only comes in one comfort level (medium firm) – and it isn't a budget buy.

If you're not in the market for a mattress like this, please check out our other top picks.

Nest Love Bed Review

NOTE: this mattress has been replaced by Nest's new Quail mattress (read our review here). 

Established in 2011, Nest Bedding was one of the first companies to enter the direct-to-consumer mattress industry.

Nest Love Bed - about Nest Bedding

One of Nest's best-known products is the Alexander Signature Select mattress, a luxury series that includes soft, medium and firm mattresses.

Our Nest Bedding Quail Mattress Review

Bedding Quail Mattress

The Nest Bedding Quail mattress, previously known as the Love & Sleep mattress, is the only all-foam mattress Nest Bedding offers. It’s also their most affordable mattress. 

It’s still more expensive than most other foam mattresses online. But that’s because the Quail mattress is not like any other foam mattress. 

It has better support and pressure relief, more responsiveness, better cooling and a longer lifespan than most foam mattresses.

Nest Sparrow Signature Hybrid Review: Premium Zzzs for Less

Nest Sparrow Signature Hybrid - hero shot

The Sparrow Signature Hybrid Mattress is Nest Bedding’s best mattress to-date, in my opinion. According to Nest, it is also their most popular mattress sold today. Unlike the one-size-fits-all products from Casper, Tuft-and-Needle, Leesa, the Nest Sparrow Signature Hybrid is a premium hybrid foam mattress on-par with high-quality hybrid mattresses from Tempurpedic that cost $1,000 to $2,000 … Read more…

Leesa vs Ghostbed Mattress: An In-Depth Comparison

Leesa vs Ghostbed

Leesa and Ghostbed are two clear leaders in the new and fast-growing direct-to-customer mattress industry.

Both are premium foam mattresses sold for far less than they would cost in a store.

The Ghostbed mattress, an offshoot of the decades-old bedding company, Nature’s Sleep, is all-foam product with three layers designed to provide support, comfort, and durability.

The Leesa mattress is also all-foam, but uses a proprietary type of foam (LSA200) on the top layer to improve responsiveness, cooling, and support. Leesa is a pure startup, too.

So how do these winning foam mattresses compare, exactly?

Leesa Hybrid (Sapira) vs Sparrow Hybrid Mattress: In-Depth Comparison

Sparrow hybrid mattress vs Sapira mattress

In this head-to-head hybrid mattress comparison, I pitted Leesa's Hybrid (Sapira) mattress against the Sparrow Hybrid mattress by Nest Bedding.

Leesa and Nest Bedding are among the best known online mattress brands. Both companies focus on creating high quality mattresses that are affordable and easy to buy online.

Leesa was founded in 2015 and has experienced robust growth since then. They initially launched with one foam mattress, the excellent Leesa, which turned out to be a huge success.

In 2016, Leesa expanded their line with the launch of Leesa Hybrid (Sapira), a luxury hybrid (innerspring + memory foam) mattress.  It's since been re-branded the Leesa Hybrid.

Nest Bedding has been in the game longer than Leesa, having launched in 2011. They make a variety of mattresses with the Sparrow Hybrid being one of their most recent best sellers.

So how do these two market-leading hybrid mattresses compare?
