I don’t think waterlogged mattresses float. Wooden deckchairs perhaps.

They will float for a while, and perhaps they would have lasted long enough for the Carpathia and the California to arrive..............

I don’t think the wooden deckchairs worked much better than a waterlogged mattress. In the icy water, they froze to death in about 10 minutes and I don’t think a mattress or a deck chair would keep you out of the water enough to avoid freezing to death.

In 28°F water, no one would last for more than a few minutes.
