Perhaps the best choice of mattress for overweight people today, is one constructed with memory foam or viscoelastic materials. Aside from the fact that a memory foam is firmer and ideal for relieving pressure points, it also has a longer life-span and durability than a standard one, expecially since larger people have the tendency to easily wear down  mattresses.

Regardless of weight, a quality memory foam mattress  does not easily sag and could last for 15 years, while a memory foam mattress topper could last up to four years. So, it’s a good quality investment.

Read this interesting story on mattress shopping from the Arizona Daily Star. It has some great buying tips and consumer information.

Norma and Bob Gentry really hated shopping for a new mattress. After finishing a bedroom addition to their San Clemente home, the Tucson couple decided they couldn’t bear to move their ancient king-size set into the new digs. So off they went, trudging to department stores, specialty centers, furniture stores and everywhere else they could think of. “Everything we looked at was at least $1,500,” Norma Gentry recalls. “We didn’t really have it, and we didn’t want to spend $2,000 on a bed.” Finally, late last year, they found sleep nirvana — at Costco. They settled on an approximately $850 set from Sealy Posturepedic, knocked the price down with a coupon, then added a memory-foam mattress topper.
