Does the weight of the person affect the mattress?

I've had mine about six months and I don't think it does....I've lost 10-15 pounds since I got it back in Jan (the mattress helps me sleep off hoceky aches, but I don't think the mattress is directly related to my health aside of me sleeping an hour more a night on average)

No, but it does add to the weight the bed frame under it must support. So get an extremely supportive, heavy duty steel one or a platform. And make sure that frame will support the weight of two large people and the mattress itself and all the bedding...plus a little. Read all the information on how much it will support.

John, my husband weighs around 230 and he has no trouble. I think the heavier the person, the deeper the penetration into the mattress but it bounces right back. I hope this helps!

It conforms to any body type. When you are not on it, the foam decompressed....it's wonderful!

My husband is 6' 1" and weighs 210 and I weigh about 170 pounds and it does not affect the effectiveness of the mattress. I can not answer for any other weights.

As far as I can tell, the weight of the person does not affect the mattress in any way. On the contrary, the mattress appears to be ideal for pretty well any weight range...

It does to an extent. Someone who weighs 130 lbs sits on will be okay. Any thing over that I wouldn't chance it. Hope this helps.

I had it for almost a year now, and my wife and I both noticed recently that there's sagging toward the middle of the mattress so there's now this slight slope down from the lateral edges to the center. We don't always sleep in the middle either, but I guess that's where the weight would usually go.

No not at all I have a memory foam mattress on mine, and no damage at all. its perfect...

It will stabilize it, but you may have to adjust the height of the frame to take advantage of the mattress weight.

I can't answer that since the mattress is always in a flat position, never upright. It is not rigid though.

Probably not because the weight of the mattress is what helps keep this in place. Regular thickness mattress and thin box spring would be OK.

Yes, or if you strech it on the sides, it will be move towards the bottom/under the mattress. There is no way to get around that, the top part is still good though, from my experience!

Yes. I am currently pregnant and weigh over 200 and my husband weighs about 250. We both have no trouble. It is actually quite firm. We did remove the mattress cover we were using and it was somewhat softer but still more firm than soft.

No. I would recommend a higher quality mattress. My husband is comfortable at 250lbs but I'm not sure he would if he weighed more.

not a problem. two people have slept on mine and each of them weighed 150 to 180 lbs.

I am a bigger person, and I love my mattress. I don't know about the weight, but, I do love mine. Hope this helps.

Not necessarily,.. if the person sleeping on it is not very heavy. I bought a good quality mattress and it seems fine for my daughter who is 5 years old. A bigger person/heavier might need a box spring. Hope this helps.

I've had mine now for about 6 months and really have no complaints on this product. I too am a big guy and for most part i never feel the mattress underneath. I have noticed , with use, that you tend, by weight, to gravitate to the middle of this foam cover. Overrall, i am satisfied with the product.

when inflated its come up a bit but i am short (5'1) so that vary for different people . again it depends on how old the person is and the physical strength but in my opinion they should have no problems at all

How can I answer that? I don't know what his problem is. It will help provide extra softness, but he will only sink down for the 3 inches. These things help people stop moving by sinking further into the mattress. He will not sink that much further. And it will not provide significant support. But I do like mine. It does provide some decrease in movement, some increase in heat, and a different, softer feel of the mattress.

My 89 year old mother had some issues since it was flat on the floor and nothing around to help pull herself up off of the mattress. I believe it would help if the mattress were inflated fairly firm. It helped me. I guess it would really depend on the person's abilities to lift themself up from a low position.
