Upgrade Your Waterbed:

If you love the comfort of your traditional hard-sided waterbed but are looking for a more modern, streamlined look and easier access, you’re not alone. Many waterbed enthusiasts are making the switch to soft-sided models. The good news is, you don’t have to get rid of your entire bed frame. You can easily upgrade your existing setup with a soft-sided conversion kit, and Aquaglow Waterbeds has everything you need for a seamless transition.

Why Convert to a Soft-Sided Waterbed?

Soft-sided waterbeds offer the same incredible pressure-free support and customizable temperature control as their hard-sided counterparts, but with a few key advantages:

• Modern Aesthetics: Soft-sided beds have a more conventional look, blending in seamlessly with standard bedroom furniture.
• Easier Entry and Exit: The cushioned foam sides make it much easier to get in and out of bed.
• Standard Bedding: You can use a wider range of standard-size sheets, duvets, and comforters without having to tuck them into a wooden frame.
• Simplified Installation: The foam surround and zip-on cover often make assembly and dressing the bed a quicker, more straightforward process.

The Aquaglow Waterbeds Conversion Process

Aquaglow Waterbeds specializes in providing the components necessary for this exact conversion. By using one of their soft-sided mattress kits, you can transform your old hard-sided frame into a comfortable, contemporary bed.

Step 1: Drain Your Existing Mattress First, you’ll need to empty your old hard-sided mattress. Aquaglow offers a full mattress draining pump kit, which is a key piece of equipment to ensure the water is removed completely and efficiently.

Step 2: Prepare to remove the Frame(if you’re keeping your old base supports) Once the old mattress, Liner & Heater is removed, you will need to prepare your existing hard-sided base and decking boards. Your decking boards may need a little trim down with a circular saw. The new soft-sided mattress kit is designed to fit onto the wooden pedestal base of your current bed.

Step 3: Install the New Components The Aquaglow soft-sided mattress kit comes with everything you need. This typically includes:

• A Deluxe vinyl water mattress tailored for a soft-sided system. You can choose from various levels of wave motion, from “free-flow” to “super stable.”
• A safety liner to contain any water spillages leaks.
• A soft-sided foam rail system that sits on the wooden pedestal base.
• A zip-on cover or “zip top” that holds the foam rails and the mattress together.
• The new Carbon Digital Heatres system.

Step 4: Fill and Condition the Mattress With the new components in place, you can now fill the new mattress with water. Aquaglow offers an easy-fill kit that connects to your shower for a simple process. Remember to add waterbed conditioner, also available from Aquaglow, to keep the water fresh and the vinyl in top condition.

Step 5: Burp the Bed After filling, it’s crucial to remove any trapped air. Aquaglow’s air extractor pump or air extractor pump-blue makes this process a breeze, ensuring your bed is perfectly silent and comfortable.

Step 6: Dress Your New Bed Your new soft-sided waterbed is now ready for bedding. Unlike with a hard-sided frame, you can now use standard-sized fitted sheets and duvets to complete your new, modern look.

By following these simple steps and utilizing the quality products from Aquaglow Waterbeds, you can give your beloved waterbed a new life and enjoy the best of both worlds: the superior comfort of a waterbed with the convenience and style of a modern soft-sided model.
