I believe I read that the upper bed capacity is 350lbs.  I weigh in at
125kgs (275lbs) and sleep very soundly up top.  I often sleep there with my
kids and have even slept up there with my wife where our combined weight is
over 400 lbs.  The problem is more one of space than weight.  At 195cms
(6'5") I prefer to lie at an angle, otherwise I lose the pillow over the
edge.  I also worry about kicking out the canvas at the low end of the top.
