If you’ve ever scrolled through my Insta and asked yourself . . . where the did Bri get THAT??? — you’ve come to the right place!

Welcome to Fat Tuesday.

Fat Tuesdays are when I’ll share amazing products I love and use, all of which are genuinely fat friendly.

When you exist in a larger body, I don’t need to tell you how much additional labor it is for us to find simple essentials that folks in smaller bodies are able to find easily. And when we’re constantly told to make ourselves smaller to fit, it can feel harder than ever to find products that work for bigger bodies. I know that grief and exhaustion all too well.

On Fat Tuesdays, let me take that work off your shoulders and recommend some of my favorite products and brands.

Today, let’s talk about one of the important things in your home: your mattress.

And for me, there is only one mattress brand I’ll ever use: Big Fig Mattress.

I’m excited to share my Big Fig experience with you because this mattress literally changed MY LIFE!

Olaf think it’s his mattress.

Also the sheets are from Wayfair.

We all know the importance of sleep and that having a good mattress is a game-changer there. But have you also considered that the way a mattress supports your body at night can make a huge difference when it comes to chronic pain?

When you are in a larger body, finding a supportive mattress is so difficult. And when you’re in a larger body AND dealing with chronic pain? It can feel impossible.

Before Big Fig, I thought all mattresses were the same: prone to going concave in the middle if I dared to move in my sleep. The mattresses I used in the past made me think that the sinking, quicksand-y feeling was all I could ever have in a bed.

To be honest, I used to think my body was the reason beds were so uncomfortable.

Until I tried Big Fig Mattress.

Big Fig Mattress that creates mattresses specifically for bigger bodies. Each of their mattresses is thoughtfully designed to accommodate and support larger bodies, ensuring that we can get a restorative night sleep. They’ve created a mattress that enables us to actually roll around or lounge in our beds and not feel like we’re sinking, thanks to high-density foam and a reinforced edge.

When I bought my house, having a comfortable mattress was a major priority. From the moment I unpacked my Big Fig mattress, I found exactly that.

Three years ago, Big Fig was kind enough to send me their Big Fig Classic Queen Mattress, which has medium-firm support and also features an adjustable base.

I can tell you with confidence that this mattress has transformed my sleep and has provided chronic pain relief like no other mattress I’ve ever had before.

The adjustable base allows me to change positions when I sleep to accommodate my back pain, and because Big Fig truly designs with larger bodies in mind, I am able to use this mattress as a tool in my pain management arsenal. For the first time, I have a firm-but-soft mattress with NO QUICKSAND feeling or concave sinking in the middle.

A supportive mattress that feels like it’s made for me and enables me to actually prioritize rest?! That is so rare. And you deserve that kind of good rest too, friends. From my experience with Big Fig, they are worth the hype.

If this post is making you rethink everything about your mattress, I know the feeling.
