Mattress weight

We recently purchased a new mattress and it weighs 110 to 120 lbs, now the acuators can't hold the bed up to access the storage. That's okay, but now we're wondering if the mattress is to heavy for the bedroom slide. Has anyone experienced this or are we worried about nothing.

I think it would depend on how much weight you have stored under the bed, but I doubt the mattress weighs too much for the slide out.

We put in a Queen Tempurpedic mattress and its heavy, I removed everything from under the bed except the lightest items. My bed struts won't hold the bed up either. I bought a piece of wood closet rod and cut it to length and keep it under the bed to hold it up when I need to get in there. I don't get in there very often so I don't think I will get heavier struts. I called heartland and asked them if it would be a problem for the slide mechanism adding a 300 lb bed and they assured me it would be no problem.
