Don't know what a King mattress weighs, but it's a bear to lift, so, yeah it probably exceeds the weight rating of the roof and the SSD rails :tongue-new:
But for a 3.5 mile trip at <= 25mph, that's a risk I was willing to take (and yes, the mattress was strapped down same as the box springs in the other picture - just happened to have removed the tie downs before snapping the pic)
Getting the king mattress off the roof and wrestled into the house was, frankly, more difficult than levering up on top.
The wife was somewhat dismayed (OK, that's an understatement). Maybe now she'll let me get the pickup!
