Need Help Deciding?
For most sleepers, we recommend the Layla Memory Foam over the Big Fig Mattress. It scores higher in motion isolation, pressure relief, price-to-value and delivers stronger overall value. The Big Fig Mattress is the better choice only if you sleep hot and cooling is your top priority.
Big Fig Mattress vs Layla Memory Foam: What Actually Differs
The Big Fig Mattress is a hybrid build, while the Layla Memory Foam is a foam (innerspring-hybrid vs memory-foam) — that single difference drives most of the cooling, motion, and feel decisions below. The Big Fig Mattress stands 13" tall versus 10" for the Layla Memory Foam — a 3.0" gap that matters if you need deep-pocket sheets or are pairing with an adjustable base. The single largest performance gap is in edge support: the Big Fig Mattress rates noticeably higher than the Layla Memory Foam, which is the deciding factor if that dimension is high on your list. On a Queen, the Layla Memory Foam runs $449 versus $1,399 for the Big Fig Mattress — roughly $950 (68%) less, which is enough to factor into the decision unless the pricier model wins clearly on the specs you care about.
