Frequently Asked Questions About Softside Waterbeds

What is the difference between a softside and a hardside waterbed?
A softside waterbed is encased in a rigid, comfortable foam frame, allowing it to look like a standard bed and use regular bedding. A hardside waterbed requires a solid wooden frame to contain the water mattress.

Can I use standard bedding on a softside waterbed?
Yes. Because softside waterbeds are made to standard UK bed sizes (such as Double, King, and Super King), you can use standard fitted sheets and duvet covers.

Does a softside waterbed need a special bed frame?
Softside waterbeds can sit on specially made divan bases or reinforced bed frames designed to hold the weight of a filled water mattress. We offer specially engineered timber frames made specifically for this purpose.
