When it comes to mattresses, one size - or weight - definitely does not fit all. Weight matters, not just for when you’re flipping the mattress or moving, but it also impacts how it functions for you.
This guide will walk you through the varying weights of different mattress sizes, the implications of those weights, and what you should consider when making a purchase.
