Online luxury mattress company Saatva launched Saatva HD as the first-of-its-kind luxury plus-size mattress created for people who weigh between 300 and 500 pounds. The premium mattress boasts a supportive and durable coil base and plush upper layers to deliver "luxury comfort for the bigger body." Notably, the coils used in the mattress are 25% stronger than the industry standard, providing a level of comfort that most mattresses can't deliver.
The medium-firm mattress integrates Saatva's patented Spinal Zone active wire, which introduces support at the center third of the mattress, as well as other systems for pressure point relief.
Beyond fashion, a range of industries are pushing themselves to create inclusive designs that cater to people with plus-size specific items.
