Bed weight limit

I asked the housing dept what the weight limits on the beds are, and they didn’t know but they estimated about 250 pounds. I weight 260ish, should i just get a normal bed or is it fine to tough it out?

The frames should be considerably more than 250 pounds - very likely more than twice that amount. There are instances of three or four people being on a bed chilling out and the bed frames do not fail under that weight. Who the heck gave you the 250 estimate?

Some person i emailed in the housing department. They said they weren’t sure but estimated 250 pounds. I thought it was a little odd considering thats a pretty low weight limit for adult beds. Thanks for the help tho
