Traditional Hardside Waterbeds: Solid Craftsmanship & Deep Flotation

Hardside waterbeds are the classic original. Built with a solid timber retaining frame and a heavy-duty pedestal base, they support deep-fill mattresses to deliver total edge-to-edge flotation comfort and unmatched furniture-grade durability.

Key Advantages

• Edge-to-Edge Sleeping: Maximum usable mattress area with full flotation support across the entire bed width.
• Timber Craftsmanship: Heavy-duty wood construction provides quiet stability, classic warmth, and optional under-bed storage drawers.
• Thermostatic Heating: Includes a low-wattage heater for cozy winter warmth and cool summer comfort.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between hardside and softside waterbeds?
Hardside beds use a solid wooden frame to hold the water mattress in place, whereas softside beds use foam shoulders inside a zip on /off top cover.

Do hardside waterbeds require special sheets?
No,unless the waterbed is not a standard UK size like the American King or Queen size. However we would recommend buying deeper sheets to go under the mattress.

How long does a hardside frame last?
Solid timber hardside frames easily last for decades. The internal vinyl mattress can be replaced independently whenever needed.
