There are so many factors that contribute to a mattresses weight. Size, age, and material, can all affect the weight of your mattress. So, does the weight make a difference in the quality or function? When shopping for a new mattress, what weights should you look for? We’re sleep experts here at Kloter Farms and are here to help you with your mattress FAQ. Together, let’s learn about mattress weights before you make your big purchase.
How Much Does a Mattress Weigh
On average, a typical mattress can weigh anywhere from 50-150 pounds. The size of mattress can greatly impact the weight. Let’s review some of the varying sizes of the mattresses and their appropriate weights.
Mattress Sizes
Twin Mattresses
A twin mattress is the most compact; it measures 38 inches by 75 inches long. Its size makes it the ideal mattress for children, bunk beds, single adults, and studio apartments. Because of its smaller footprint, a twin mattress will be the least heavy, weighing on average between 40-100 pounds.
Full Mattress
A full-size mattress is slightly larger than the twin, measuring at 54 inches wide by 74 inches long. The next step up from a twin mattress, a full mattress is usually best for older children, teenagers, and single adults. These mattresses weigh between 50-110 pounds.
Queen Mattress
Following the full-size mattresses, queen mattresses are 60 inches by 80 inches. But how much does a queen mattress weigh? The typical weight will be anywhere between 120 and 160 pounds.
King Mattress
How much does a king mattress weigh? And how much does a California king mattress weigh? A slight variation between these two in size, with the king being 76×80 inches, and the California king between 72×84 inches. These two will similarly weigh between 130-180 pounds. Their larger dimensions result in their increased weights.
Mattress Materials
The materials which make up the mattress also contribute to its weight. High quality mattresses can come in a variety of different materials and compositions. Some of the common mattress materials include memory foam, innerspring, latex, and hybrids.
Memory Foam Mattresses
A memory foam mattress can be heavier than an innerspring mattresses due to the density of the foam. On average, these can weigh anywhere from 60-150 pounds. They are not the heaviest of all the mattress, but they’re close.
Innerspring Mattresses
An innerspring mattress is made up of steel coils that support the base and a comfort layer of foam. The weight of these mattresses is dependent on the quality and density of the coils.
Latex Mattresses
Latex mattresses can be heavier than other mattresses. This is all dependent on the layers and density of the foam! The more materials that make up the mattresses composition will make the mattress heavier.
Weight of a New Mattress
It’s unlikely that a mattress will change drastically in weight over time. From the time your mattress is new versus your mattress being 5-10 years old, the weight may vary slightly. This would be unnoticeable.
