If the manufacturer thought the weight limit were critical, it would be published in the manual for the camper, and would be printed on a BIG RED STICKER pasted at the entrance to the cabover.
"DO NOT EXCEED XXXlbs IN CABOVER BED AREA."
It is a matter of CYA and liability mitigation on the part of the manufacturer.
It does not say that so they must feel that the cabover has adequate capacity for anything any reasonable camper owner may decide to put there.
Should you decide to pack the cabover with large rocks, that's on you. A slightly heavier mattress isn't going to make any difference unless the camper was about ready to come apart in the first place.
