Since I was a little girl I’ve always needed a lot of sleep.  I love sleep.  But, as a new entrepreneur sleep hasn’t always been my top priority.  In case you didn’t know, I opened a new body positive gym downtown Toronto – Fitness By Sarah Taylor and well it’s been a very busy year.  But, without the proper sleep I need, I don’t function at my best.

That combined with the bed I was sleeping on after moving in with my boyfriend, occasionally sleeping on an air mattress, well let’s just say my back was very, very cranky!!!  This meant I wasn’t sleeping well, even when I did get the opportunity to sleep and my back had been aching all day long.

But, enough about that – are you ready to hear what has helped the last 3 weeks??

This baby right here!  The Big Fig Mattress company has made its way to Canada and I was so elated to be one of the first Canadians to try it out!

 

Finding a mattress can seem tough – what do you look for, how do you know you’ll like sleeping it and is what about buying a bed online and then the big question here is – how will it feel or help as a bigger figured person?

Well….let me tell ya….I’m sooooooo thankful for my Big Fig Mattress.  I had never tried it before it arrived – I had heard amazing things from some friends in the US who had one but it has become my favourite place in my home – no lies, ask my boyfriend …he comes home to find me laying in bed either working or reading or just chilling listening to music.  I literally can’t get enough of it.

 

So some of the things that set Big Fig Mattress apart are:

-Hybrid construction

-There is a special ThermoGel Cooling Technology so you don’t feel hot while you sleep

-High Quality materials

-Strong & Supportive Foundation

-Durability tested with published results

Plus a 20 year full replacement warranty!

 

Some other things I’ve noticed…

-When my boyfriend moves – I don’t feel it in the middle of the night – I used to wake up with almost every move

-For the first time in probably close to 10 years I can lay on my tummy and my back on the bed – this is not something I could do after a car accident 10 years ago

-The box spring comes in pieces which I needed because where we live currently is a basement apartment and box springs don’t fit down the stairs

-The box spring can be taken apart to move out of here as we are moving in about a month and it will make the move of the bed no stress at all

-Putting the box spring together as well was easy peasy, no tools required and I actually put the whole bed together myself

-Unlike some other frames I’ve had before with wood slats this one was well thought out – it has Velcro all the way around to help it stay in place

-My back pain has reduced by about 85% in 3 weeks!!!!

-I am sleeping through the night again and getting such good sleeps even with the high stress in life – might be the biggest win for me!

-Shipping was fast and it arrived when they said it would arrive

Stay tuned over the next year to see how my journey with Big Fig Mattress continues.  We def chose a new place to live with our bed in mind because we got the King size bed and I love it!!!!

PS

As I wrap this up my boyfriend yells from the other room –

Him: What are you even doing in there (all he can here are my taps on the keyboard).

Me: I’m working

Him: Sure you are.

Me: No really I am

Him: Ever since you got this king size bed all you do is hang out in it

Me: Actually I’m writing my blog on the Big Fig Mattress

Him: Ya sure you are – you say your working but for all I know you’re taking a nap and if I don’t say anything you’ll keep napping

LOL

I wish I was making this up but I am not – that is legit how much I’m in love with my new bed.

My mattress was gifted by Big Fig Mattress but the opinions are completely my own – I think you can tell with all my !!!’s
