A queen size waterbed is about 600-700 Lbs plus the people say 350 lbs (usually in the middle of the floor) gives you about 1,000 Lbs but it is spread out over 50+ square feet so the load is only about 20 Lbs per square foot. A 600 lb safe with about 100 Lbs of contents only takes up about 8-10 square feet which gives you over 60-75 Lbs per square foot.
I have a 250 Lb safe and a Homack cabinet in my second floor gun room. I won't put a bigger safe up there, I just don't feel comfortable with it.
