BEWARE: This bed needs a box spring and the weight limit is only 500lbs(!). See 6th slide. Since a Queen box spring is 50-100lbs and a Queen mattress is 120-160lbs, the sleepers can only weigh 240-330 lbs COMBINED. And that’s not counting the bedding, pillows and teddy bears. The average American woman weighs 170ish and the average American man is about 200lbs. This bed is not made for American couples. Especially ones with a dog. Or ones who want to have sex.
