Although memory foam mattresses are heavier than some options, they are still nearly 50 lbs lighter than a latex mattress, and most people should have no trouble moving them as needed within the home.
Full-Size Mattress
Full-size mattresses weigh about 25 to 27 kilograms (55 to 60 pounds.)
Does weight determine quality? It’s usually true that heavier mattresses are better quality than lighter mattresses, but that’s not standard ruling. You could fill a mattress with rocks and it would be heavier, but that wouldn’t mean you would get a better night of sleep!
Most Popular Mattress—TEMPUR-ProAdapt®
With a full range of feels, the TEMPUR-ProAdapt® mattress offers a comfortable choice for every sleeper.
Though Tempur-Pedic mattresses are known for lasting longer than other types of mattresses, they do wear out eventually. As they wear out, the mattress may become lumpy or too firm for comfortable sleep. The memory foam is filled with air when the mattress is new, but as the air compresses, the mattress becomes denser.
Those who weigh under 130 pounds will likely prefer one of Tempur-Pedic’s softer options. Individuals between 130 and 230 pounds should sleep comfortably on a medium model. People who weigh more than 230 pounds may get the extra support they need from one of Tempur-Pedic’s firm options.
Because heavier sleepers over 250 lb tend to put more pressure on a bed’s layers, it’s crucial to have the proper mattress infrastructure and find the best mattress for heavy people. Without it, these sleepers may experience discomfort, disrupted sleep, and a flattening of the mattress’ core.
Are Memory Foam Mattresses Good For Heavier Sleepers? Memory foam mattresses can be a great option for heavier sleepers since they provide joint support and encourage even weight distribution.
Typically, manufacturers recommend replacing your mattress every eight years. But according to Consumer Reports, a mattress that’s well cared for could easily last a decade. (Unless you’re over 40. By that age, your body tolerates less pressure, which means you might need a new mattress after five to seven years.)
To the layman that is NO! In fact I asked the Wall Street Journal writer to call an expert on mattresses at the internal sleep products association. She did and was told that the statistic on mattresses doubling in weight was far from the truth. The journalist choose to include it in the story anyway.

A 40 density would be high density in polyfoam (PU Foam), not so much in memory foam, and very low for others. For example, in the Indian demographic, people prefer the PU Foam to have a density value between 32 and 40. Similarly, memory foam should have a density value between 50-60 and between 55-65 for latex foam.
Our power bases support up to 650 lbs. each (Twin, Twin Long, Double, Queen, and Split/Dual CA King bases).
