I haven't seen any where about the weight of a person &amp; the thickness you need to buy. Is that an issue?

Mary, I am 47, weigh in at about 210 with a height of 5'8" I have a medium torso with very thick thighs and buttocks. so far the 3" version has abeen a godsend, allowing me many peaceful nights while camping in my TT. prior to buying this I would wake up with a stiff spot in my lower back from god knows which of the many of "prior injuries" I have suffered over the years. needless to say I highly reccomend this, but from what I have seen it is really divided, those that it helpeld and those it did not. for me it works great I cannot comment on any thing else other than you should make a cover that fits it to keep the foam from tearing, and it does retain body heat. These are the only issues I have with it. it does rip easily when being moved. and in the summer it can be a little warm. other that thes issues it is great for my back as i wake up good to go each morning. It actually beats out my top of the line sealy that i use in the sticks ands bricks. cheers. ken morgan

They don't post it anywhere but once you buy it and receive it, the pamphlet reads at the very bottom that the weight limit is 220 pounds. If you choose to use it and you weigh more than that, you are risking it. If anything happens you can't blame them because you used it not in accordance with their rules. I do not know why they do not post the weight limit on this page. That's an important piece of information. 220 pounds is not much for overweight people trying to lose weight. I tried it for a few minutes anyway, and if you have any knee issues this will make them worse. It will burn more than walking, but you are risking injury in more than one way.

There is no weight indicated. It shouldn't be for someone over the weight of 180 though. The person this was for is 150 and skinny bums and it hurts him when he sits on it for more than an hour. Also this does need to be covered even if he is wearing pants he said it isn't comfortable unless you cover it. I placed a soft towel cover I made on it. It is made from a very tough rubber so it is possible that someone larger could use it but it shouldn't be filled to the maximum size then or it might pop. This was filled to capacity and it does flatten as someone sits on it.

I didn't notice any weight difference. About thickness, it may add a little (now as thick as an iPhone 4 that has no case).

Did not care. No problems with my purchase. I did purchase two 1/4" 4' X 8' OBC plywood and cut to exact size and screwed in the top for extra strength and support. But I am anal. I put a Sleep Number Bed on it. Nice piece. Works well for us. Had it 3 years. No problems so far. Brett

My husband, who was 280 lbs. when we bought the topper, felt it was too soft/not firm enough. After losing 70 pounds, he now feels it's just right. So I agree with the individual who suggested your son might prefer a more dense/thicker topper. If you can find a denser mattress by this manufacturer, it would be a good purchase. I love our topper, by the way.

I didn't know the specification, we have guest who are over 250lb and there is no problem what so ever.

I am 200 lbs. and I have used mine daily for the last 6 months or more and it is doing great, I cannot tell any difference from brand new.Also it appears to be the right amount of softness for my weight because I can feel the "give" in it as it conforms to my body the way they say it is supposed to in the book, if it ever wears out or if anything ever happens to it I will get another just like it.

Good question but I do not know. Did not put it thru that test. I am sure that the weight of the person is a factor.

You probably already know that they say no thicker than 3.5 inches. I think you may be 1/2 inch to thick. Why don't you call the company and get more exact information. You certainly do not want the chair to fail by increasing the depth to a measurement that they don't recommend. Hope this helps. Note: My son and my daughter both use this chair and highly recommend this chair to their friends. Take Care.

I would guess at least two hundred pounds, it's very study. Check the measurement of the width, that could be a problem for a bigger person.

Great question. How much does the person weigh? If it is someone who is morbidly obese like 400 pounds, I would question whether it could take the stress. But I know somebody 200 pounds has absolutely no problem sitting on it. Have you contacted the manufacturer to ask?

it says 30lb for all the options... they probably didn't update it for every option

I didn't trust it supporting my full weight after reading some of the reviews of it suddenly failing and the person getting injured. I could see really uneven thickness when held up to a light so I sent the one I ordered back for a refund. Amazon is awesome!

I really do not know for sure. Suggest you ask the seller, my husband is normal in size and I am heavy, usually the heavy person has the most difficulty. Regards Margaret

I asked my nephew (who is skinny), and he and his skater friends said that if someone weighs 230 s/he would need to make sure the longboard was Canadian maple and have at least 10 plus of wood for thickness (not sure what 10plus means but I hope it means something to you). Got this answer via text. Hope it helps :)

No, you should get something thicker. I'm about 130 pounds, and depending on how I lay, my hip or my bottom will rest on the mattress. But, it is much more comfortable than the matress alone.
