Any idea what the maximum weight is that this board can support? Looking for one for my brother's twin bed. He weighs 230 lbs.

Hi Karen: Since this fits in-between the mattress & box spring, it had no problem supporting that same weight for whom we purchased the board. Hope that helps! Sweet dreams, Carole

I can't tell you what the max weight is. But I can tell you that my son and his wife together weigh 550lbs. We have had the platform for over a month now and none of the support brackets are bending! However, We also put a 1/2 plywood sheet over the brackets before lying the box springs and mattress on it. Please Please note that if you have box spring you are planning to use, the bed will be VERY high off the ground. Many people have bought this and just used a mattress which makes the bed a normal height. We are using a box spring and the bed is so high off the ground I cannot get on the bed without a step ladder! I can't tell you what the max weight is.

I sent an email to XMark and they responded today by saying that the maximum weight it can support is 275 pounds. Hope this helps everyone! Have a great day!

I'm not sure if it says the weight limit in the directions but my brother stepped on the trundle and one of the boards you could hear start to sound as if it would crack. He is 203 lbs. He was standing directly on a board though and not laying on it.

My wife is 5'6(130lb) and it works great. Im 6'1 (190lb) and its great for me too. Its a little heavy/awkward for a smaller lady to carry but can be done. At 5'3 she might be able to go with a shorter/smaller board too. They are great boards though.

I weigh 225 and have had no problems with the board. It has a rating for 300 lbs should be ok for 260.

The quality seems good, have not had them very long. Chose them because I have always used Morey boards, and they held up well. As for the weight limit on these, I would say no more than 180lbs

The instruction booklet states the Max Weight is 250 lbs. I weigh 190 and there's no flexing of the board when I'm on it. Right now my usage has been all fresh water-lakes and rivers so the buoyancy factor is considerably different than salt water. I also keep the boards inflated to 15 PSI.

I'm a bigger guy 6ft 2in 250lbs. I have no problems. I don't even rotate my bed. As for a weight limit, I'm sure the mattress it's self doesn't have one. The limit will be whatever the bed can hold. I am using a full bottom platform bed. (No slats) it is holding up quite nicely. Bed and mattress.

I'm 165 lbs and it held my weight with very minimal flex, very well. The boards around this price range are always pretty stiff, which could be considered an advantage for heavier riders.

I do not know for sure on the weight limit but i put bunky boards on my beds for added protection... These are very nice beds.

Hey. So my sister and I have done tandem on this board. Together we weighed about 330 and it was hard to use the board(the balancing part was super hard). The board sunk deep in he water but it did not flow over the top of the board. I suggest getting a taller board closer to 12 feet that can handle more weight.

Well it depends on what you consider durable. Im 200 pounds and the board doesnt seem even close to breaking. 250 shouldnt be a problem. It will break like other longboards if you say smash it into a wall cuz you fall off and cant stop it. But as long as you take care of it. It'll be fine.

I'm 225 and it floats me pretty good. It is not as stable as a fixed board but it is pretty stable. I've had a friend that was about 250 use it and he thought it didn't float him very well.

My first board has a max weight of about 245lbs. However this board is extremely low and even with Risers on the trucks, it still scrapes the ground a lot. I would recommend a higher board with less flex for riding if weight is above 200lbs.

I have only had it assembled for a few days now but it seemed to hold about 170 pounds just fine overnight. There are multiple boards holding up the mattress so the weight is displaced decently on the top bed (a slim box spring would probably give it even more strength - just don't get a regular box spring unless you don't mind that the head boards are even to the mattress. I had to return our box spring because of that & will be getting a slim box spring instead.). The bottom bed I would be hesitant on using a lot of weight since the wheels that support the bed do not seem as sturdy. Hope that helps.
