The best mattress for heavier people
Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes. And those of us with larger frames or heavier bodies can really struggle when it comes to finding a comfortable mattress. We all know the heavier something is, the more likely it is to sink a little. So when it comes to choosing the best mattress for us, we need something that’s going to support us while we sleep. An unsupportive mattress leads to backache, hip pain and a sore neck, and no one wants that. Not too firm, not too soft. Like Goldilocks herself, it can feel like an endless game of trial and error. That’s where we come in. Designed to support you where you need it most, we’ve got the best mattresses for heavier people. We want you sleeping like a baby and waking up feeling fresh. Every damn day. Sounds good? Let’s get you sorted then.

What is the best mattress for a heavier person in Australia
Saggy isn’t a word anybody wants to hear (especially in the bedroom). When buying a new mattress, you’ll want one that supports your whole body and doesn’t sag while you sleep. Here’s what you need to know when buying the right mattress...It’s gotta be super supportive
Stephanie Roberts Baxter, Sleep Business Manager at Koala, gets it. “Support is really critical for sleepers of all sizes,” she says. “We invest a lot into the design of our comfort layer on our mattresses so that even if you’re heavier, or you're tossing and turning in the night, you’re getting full support.” So we need support, but it needs to be in all the right places. “Your hips are the heaviest part of your body,” continues Stephanie. “When we design our mattresses, we have a softer area around the shoulder and a softer area around the legs. Then we have a firmer area under the hips to provide adequate support. “It’s important that the heavier parts of your body are supported in a way that they need to be, that you're not just sinking into the mattress.” This support means that on a Koala mattress your spine stays aligned, whether you are a side, back or front sleeper.It’s gotta help you keep your cool
Balmy summer nights are perfect for a few cheeky sundowners, but they’re not so good when it comes to catching some ZZZs. No one likes a sweaty sleeper, and if you find yourself sinking into your mattress, that’s exactly what you’re likely to be. Temperature and sleep are hot topics at Koala, so we know all about how heavier sleepers are more likely to overheat. Overheating can lead to a rubbish night’s sleep and leave you feeling super groggy. “Not sinking into your bed is really, really important in terms of body temperature,” says Stephanie. “We know that temperature can really affect people’s sleep, which is why our designs focus on breathability — to help any heat being created in your body to dissipate while you sleep.”
