would this mattress support a short but fat person? 200 lbs?

I think that it would be fine. I use our mattresses (I also have the king size) in a vacation house, so for long term, I can't say with certainty, but at present it seems fine. It also has no weight distribution issues, as I (not a skinny person) , can get out of bed without my husband being disturbed. It is amazing mattress for the price point..hope this helps.

Yes I think so, the mattress is sturdy and firm but also very comfortable and soft. You should be fine

I had a 200lb man sleep on it for a week with no problem. Just make sure you get the thicker foam mattress for comfort. There are two common thickness, I think I bought the 8 inch.

No idea. No one over 200 lbs has slept on it. However, unless the person chooses to plop hard onto this bed, it should do OK with 225. Seemed comfortable for the 200-pound person.

I am only about 200, but I have seen no problem yet. My mattress is about 10 months old, so far no problems. Read the reviews though before you buy. Personally, I love mine, even more than our Temporpedic!

I'm right there, and for the two weeks I used it, it was just fine. Having a background in foam rubber products, I can say the mattress is a good one for heftier people. As long as you don't double up, you should be fine.

I don't know about whether the mattress will fit as we had a bed frame given to us , I don't know what kind it is except that it takes a cal. king matt. as for support, it is a very firm support. I only weigh 110 and I don't sink in to it.

For a child this mattress would work but I don't believe for an adult it would be sufficient.

Yes. The weight capacity is 275 pounds. Here is a link to our listing: http://www.amazon.com/Drive-Medical-Quickn-Comfort-Mattress/dp/B005F9BI3E/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A3UI0DOG3KQKTN Thanks! Rick RKF Medical

While we have not performed a "stress test" or applied engineering concepts I am predicting the bed will support 300 lbs (and probably more) easily. My slim 16 year old son uses this bed (6'0" and about 150 lb) however he and his friends (2-3 teens, probably 300-450 lbs) sit on it like a bench while "computer gaming" and the bed is stable. We have cross supports and a layer of press board supporting the mattress.

I doubt it. I guess it would depend on how heavy the person is, but the mattress is solid and you don't sink down that much in it.

It's very sturdy. I would imagine it could support in excess of three hundred pounds. The only problem would be you'd be able to feel the wood beneath the mattress.

Probably, but I think there would need to be padding between the mattress and the side rails to avoid the potential for small leaks to be created and a piece of plywood on the base of the frame over the frame slats to provide support. Remember, this has no box spring to support the weight as does a traditional box spring/mattress set up that you use on a frame.

It is a short bed, and might not work for tall people. I am short and heavy set and I felt good on it. I did not spend the night. Bought it for a small person Hope this helps

This is an excellent product that I'm really happy to have. It might support a heavier person. I'm a little over 200, I'll bet it will work. You might want to call the company or just try it.

Julie, I don't know, but my husband and I are both over 200 lbs. and it feels sturdy to me when we sit on it.
