Not too long ago my husband and I were in the market for a new mattress, and possibly a new bed, and we began our hunt by reading reviews online. So many times we came across reviews like, "They don't tell you this directly, but the fine print on their website says the bed is designed with a maximum weight limit of [only] 350 lbs!  I wish we had known this before we dropped $XXX on this bed; it broke apart the first night we used it!"    Thin privilege is two adults sharing a bed without any risk of it breaking.
