If you’ve been researching beds, you may have heard that memory foam mattresses are heavy. But, heavy compared to what, and does this really matter? This article will look at some of the most common questions about memory foam and weight in order to clarify the subject. Linking Memory Foam Mattress Weight & Quality When it comes to memory foam, a heavier mattress is indicative of higher density. Density refers to how much a square foot of material weighs. Low density memory foam mattresses (below 4.0 lb) are lighter because they are made up of fewer, larger cells. Denser memory foam (over 4.0 lb) is heavier because it contains a greater density of cells, resulting in a more responsive and durable product. Weights of these mattress types can range from about 40-60 pounds for a Twin, to 120-160 pounds for a Queen and around 130 to 180 pounds for a King size. The overall weight is a combination of the mattress core density, the density of the memory foam layers, and the amount of material in the bed.
Hence, larger sizes will weigh more as will thicker mattresses. Should I Be Concerned About the Weight? The weight of a mattress is irrelevant for the majority of its lifespan. The primary occasions that one might have concerns about this issue is in moving the bed into the room and with rotating or maintaining the bed. Most modern bed frames and furnishings should have no problem supporting a memory foam bed. Memory Foam Mattress Setup Amerisleep mattresses come compressed into a cylinder, making maneuvering the new bed into your room easier. Two people should have no problem carrying a packaged king mattress inside. This would be the only part in which someone who lives alone might require assistance. Once the package is on the bed frame, you simply unwrap it and the bed does the rest. If you should move in the future, again, two people should be able to move the bed on most occasions. Memory foam beds require less maintenance than most other types. It will never need to be flipped.
Rotation every 6 to 12 months can be helpful for even wear, but is not essential. If you do decide to rotate the bed, the majority of the weight can be balanced on the frame as you turn the bed 180 degrees. Many memory foam beds also feature 4-sided zipper covers that can be removed for washing without having to lift the bed. How Does the Weight of Memory Foam Compare? Memory foam (density < 4.0 lbs) Memory foam (density > 4.0 lbs) Mattress weight estimates are taken from a queen size (midsize) mattress Memory Foam vs Innerspring Memory foam mattresses will be heavier than most innerspring counterparts due to the nature of construction differences. Spring beds feature internal support systems made of open or pocketed metal coils, topped by foam or padding. Because the core contains open space and is much less dense than the memory foam material, the end result is lighter. On average, a spring bed can weigh between 20-150 pounds depending on size and materials.
Beds with thick pillow tops that contain dense foams will weigh more. Memory Foam vs Latex Memory foam and latex beds tend to be similar on weight, though it is likely that quality latex foam will weigh more than even most high-density memory foam beds. This is because heavy latex is used throughout the mattress. On average, an all-latex mattress might weigh between 60-250 pounds depending on thickness and size. Memory Foam vs Air Bed Air beds are composed of inflatable rubber chambers set within a mattress encasement. The support system made of air creates mattresses that are lighter than memory foam in general. Some models contain foam pillowtops that can affect weight significantly. Air beds will weigh between 20 and 90 pounds, on average. Learn more about how air beds compare to memory foam mattresses.

Tuft & Needle Reviews There's a lot of talk about firmness, but it's important to describe this bed as "very supportive" rather than firm. What I mean is that it supports your weight well (like a firm bed), but the top layer has enough give to pad your pressure points like your hips & shoulders. For me at about 200lbs this has been great for relieving lower back pain, while still being plush enough to satisfy my petite wife who likes pillow-top beds. It was also my first foam mattress. It feels lighter and more ventilated than a spring mattress. I bought this on a whim, and it was the best blind purchase I've ever made. We loved it from day one, and still love it 3 months later. We love how friendly and timely everyone is at Tuft & Needle! The mattress fit our budget and arrived just when we needed it. On short notice, my boyfriend and I had to move into a new apartment.
We had been renting a furnished place previously, so we had no furniture or bed for our new home. We had this crazy idea, that on a limited budget, and in four days, we could somehow have a quality mattress delivered to our new apartment. We believed that, although we had nothing to sit on or cook with, at least we would have something comfy to sleep on our first night. Tuft & Needle really came through for us. We got the mattress the day we moved in and slept peacefully that night and for nights to come. My whole experience with Tuft & Needle was amazing. They kept in constant communication about my order and shipped it quickly. The people I communicated with were all very friendly and helpful. The mattress arrived to us well packed and with clear instructions on what to do. The mattress was for my son as his first bed. He has been sleeping so much better on this mattress. It's very comfortable and well made. I have already recommended it to several friends and my wife and I will be getting one for our bed soon.
