Waterbed Resources

Where can a consumer find helpful information and resources about waterbeds? Unfortunately most online stores do not provide helpful information about waterbeds and waterbed mattrasses in general. All information is product specific.

Our goal is to provide as much product independent information about waterbeds as possible. Much of the developments in waterbeds have taken place as a direct result of feedback from consumers and retailers. Manufacturerers then responded with improved designs.

Most waterbed manufacturers nowadays offer a large range of up to five mattresses. The well-known “free flow” style has the maximum amount of movement, which can then be reduced through the range in stages up to 99%. These may also be offered in a dual system, where two mattresses are used giving independent control to each partner. Once a mattress stability has been chosen it cannot be altered without changing the mattress, however, adding or removing the water generally adjusts the softness and firmness.
