Weight of memory foam mattresses
| I need a queen mattress for a murphy bed. The weight limit is 80 pounds. I had been hoping to get a tempurpedic type mattress but of the stats I can find they are all too heavy. Are there any queen size memory foam mattresses that weigh 80 pounds or less? If not, other recommendations? |

This 10" memory foam is on sale at Costco. It says it weighs 79 lbs. Some like it, so say not enough back support, some say too firm, so hard to say. If back support is the issue, I would not go with a memory foam mattress. Great return policy at Costco. You might want to look at Ikea as well. They have some thinner lighter ones. This one has coils and latex for 82lbs. They have a lighter foam ones (this one has 1" latex over foam - 73 lbs.). Click on package measurement/weight to get the specs. Overstock, walmart.com, etc. should have some as well. As Phoenix said, you won't be able to get all latex at that weight unless it is very thin. I think latex is around 12-15 lb.s per inch (queen size). |
