Don't Sacrifice Quality When You Buy Cheap Waterbed Sheets!

Increased Demand For Cheap Waterbed Bedding!

One of the reasons that waterbed bedding has been difficult to find in the past is because of the size and movement of the mattress. Well made sheet sets and comforters were minimal and what was available was expensive. With the different types of waterbeds available on the market today, the demand for quality, inexpensive bedding has been answered.

Different Types Of Waterbeds Require Different Types Of Sheets!

The two major different styles are the hardside waterbed and the softside waterbed. The hardside waterbed is what most of us know as a waterbed. It’s a water filled mattress that is fitted inside a wood frame raised on a wood platform. The sizes of these beds are the California King  (72 inches by 84 inches), the California Queen (60 inches by 84 inches), and the super single size (48 inches by 84 inches). Printed waterbed sheet sets and the other sizes are now available in more color and textures than ever before.

Can You Use Traditional Bedding On Your Waterbed?

The softside waterbed looks more like a regular bed with a mattress. The water filled mattress is surrounded by a frame of thick foam and is then zippered inside of fabric. The mattress sits on a platform, which looks like the waterbed mattress is sitting on a box spring, therefore making it look more like a conventional bed. The depth of the water chamber varies from deep fill (7 inches), mid fill (6 inches), and shallow fill (4.5 inches). These beds are sized to the traditional mattress sizes so these waterbeds can use standard bed sheets in the appropriate size.

Growing Demand For Waterbeds Means Cheaper But Better Bed Sheet Set Availability!

With newer materials and technology, waterbeds have evolved from their humble beginnings. With more people suffering from aching joints, back problems, allergies, or long-term illness; waterbeds will continue to grow in popularity. With this foreseen demand, manufacturers are now offering better fitting bed sheets and comforters in a wider variety of prints and fabrics, including cotton flannel bedding, satin bed sheets, synthetic fleece bed sheet sets and cotton jersey knit bed sheets, than ever before.
