As everyone else has mentioned, your use case sounds like arrays are appropriate. Note that PostgreSQL supports 2 dimensional (actually more than 2d if you wanted) arrays which are essentially perfect for representing a matrix. If this works for your data model it will likely save a ton of storage space and perform much better than alternatives. FWIW, if you are needing to do matrix math, you might want to look into PL/R (https://github.com/postgres-plr/plr) as it supports 2d arrays as arguments which are converted directly into R matrices. I don't know for sure but likely PL/Python could be used to process matrices as well.
