minus-squareSludgeyy@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·7 months agoYeah, they can weigh up to 2000lbs with a king-size bed. A king-size bed is 6,080 sq in. A fridge can weigh 300lb being 36"×30". 1,152 sq in. Fridge is .26 pounds per sq inch. A water bed is .33 pounds per sq inch. So while heavy the weight is distributed basically like a fridge. This is assuming an empty fridge. As for durability, a quality waterbed mattress is thick. You aren’t going to pop it or cut it without deliberately trying to. Even if you took a knife and stabbed it from the top, it’s not going to leak until you put weight on it.
