What Is A Medium-Firm Mattress?

A medium-firm mattress hits that just-right middle ground—not too soft, not too hard. On a firmness scale of 1 to 10, medium-firm typically falls between a 6 and 7. The Big Fig Luxe is designed to cushion pressure points (hello, side sleepers) while keeping your spine aligned and your body lifted—not swallowed. Bottom line: the medium-firm Luxe delivers the balance of softness and support that most side-sleepers are looking for.

Is A Medium Firm-Mattress Good For Side Sleepers?

Absolutely, especially when it’s built like the Big Fig Luxe. With a plush pillow top and medium-firm support underneath, it strikes the ideal balance for side sleepers: soft enough to cushion your shoulders and hips, but supportive enough to keep your spine aligned all night. This combo helps prevent pressure buildup, reduces tossing and turning, and keeps your midsection from sinking too deep (aka the back pain zone). Big Fig Luxe is proof that a medium-firm mattress doesn’t mean middle-of-the-road—it means just right.

How Firm Is A Medium-Firm Mattress?

Medium-firm is that sweet spot—not too soft, not too hard and just the right amount of lift. On a scale from 1 to 10, the Big Fig Luxe lands between a 5.5 and 7.0, depending on your weight, shape and sleep style. You’ll feel gentle contouring from the pillow top surface that cushions pressure points, with firm support underneath to keep you aligned. It’s the perfect balance for side sleepers who want softness up top and real structure below.

How Soft Is A Medium-Firm Mattress?

Soft enough to cushion, firm enough to support—that’s the beauty of a medium-firm mattress. On a scale from 1 to 10, the Big Fig Luxe rates around a 5.5 to 7.0. You’ll feel gentle, contouring softness when you first lie down, especially at the shoulders and hips, but you won’t sink too deep.

Are All The Big Fig Mattress Warranties The Same?

What Cooling Features Does the Big Fig Luxe Mattress Have?

The Big Fig Luxe is designed to sleep cool from the very first touch. Its top panel is woven with LDPE (low-density polyethylene), a high-tech fabric that naturally feels cool against your skin and helps pull heat away from your body throughout the night. This breathable material also enhances airflow across the surface, so you stay cool and comfortable without sacrificing softness.

Will The Big Fig Luxe Mattress Sag Like My Other Mattress Did?

Short answer? Nope. The Big Fig Luxe is built with the same ultra-durable design as our Classic, but with an added plush pillow top for extra comfort without sacrificing long-term support. Inside, it combines high-density foam layers with expertly engineered, individually wrapped coils to create a sleep surface that’s supportive, contouring and built to last—even with two plus-size sleepers (up to 1,100 lbs. total). And it’s not just talk. In independent lab testing simulating 20 years of use with a 350-lb rolling weight, Big Fig showed less than 0.2 inches of surface impression. Translation: You get the pillow top feel you want—without the sag you don’t.

How Does The Big Fig Luxe Compare To A Foam Mattress?

Foam mattresses might feel good at first—until they compress under your weight, sag fast and leave you stuck in a slow-motion sinkhole. The Big Fig Luxe is built different. With a plush pillow top that cushions your pressure points and 50% more individually wrapped coils, the Big Fig Luxe Mattress gives you contouring comfort and serious support. It cradles your body without swallowing it to keep your spine aligned. If your foam mattress fails, it’s time to upgrade to Big Fig Luxe.

How Does The Big Fig Luxe Mattress Feel?

The Big Fig Luxe is a pillow top mattress with a plush surface and a firm, supportive core—perfect for side sleepers or anyone who wants pressure relief without sacrificing stability. You’ll feel a gentle sinking at the surface thanks to the quilted top and high-density foam layers but still stay lifted and aligned by individually wrapped coils underneath. It's soft where you want it, strong where you need it, and built to stay that way. Not into ultra-soft sink-or-swim mattresses? Or rock-hard slabs that pretend to be “firm”? This pillow top mattress delivers that just-right mix of contour and support. Check out our mattress reviews to read more or try our 120-Day Sleep Trial to try the Big Fig Luxe for yourself!
