What does a regular queen size mattress weigh?

A queen size mattress from Sleep Republic weighs 49kg compared with the average weight of 35kg from most other brands. The added weight is due to our cutting-edge hybrid design – pairing pocket springs with specially designed layers of foam and gel means added weight, durability, performance, support and most importantly, comfort – night after night.

Can you move a queen mattress by yourself?

Consider the weight of queen mattresses if you’re thinking about purchasing a new queen bed or upgrading your current mattress. The Sleep Republic Queen Mattress weighs 49kg, making it one of the largest queen mattresses available. Its weight reflects the quality, durability and long term performance and comes with a solid 12-year warranty.

The mattress is effectively compressed and packed using our technology for shipping, ensuring that it arrives in excellent condition. Each mattress is then vacuum-sealed and wrapped in a protective plastic sleeve before being placed in a strong cardboard box.

Everything is packed in a sturdy, heavy-duty outer box with wheels and a handle for easy transportation. So, with the help of a buddy, you should be able to accept delivery and unpack it quickly.

What is the difference between king and queen beds?

The difference between king and queen beds is simply width. The king-size mattress measures 183 cm wide (compared to 152cm on the queen), making it ideal for couples. In addition, if you share your bed with a loved one or a furry friend or two, you could find that your sleep improves significantly when you invest in a larger-sized bed like our King Mattress.

The King Mattress and Queen Mattress are both parts of our Hybrid range, which combines spring technology with memory foam to create an unrivalled comfort level. The mattresses also use Quilted Gel Memory Foam in the top layers to help you sleep cool and avoid sweating when the weather is hot.

Is it okay to use king fitted sheets on a queen bed?

If you’re looking for the best way to fit your king sheets onto queen mattresses, try tucking about 20cm of sheeting under each corner of the bed. The sheets should then be able to glide over the mattress with ease – just like you’d expect from a mattress that’s bought brand new! Keep in mind that if you’re sharing your bed with someone, you may need to tuck more of the sheet under the mattress.

If you’re still struggling at this point, don’t stress! Sleep Republic has a beautiful range of silky smooth sheets at reasonable prices that will perfectly fit your new queen size mattress.
