WaterBed Review and Buying Guide:

I slept on a water bed a few times as a kid and I abslutely loved it. I always wanted to buy a waterbed as a child, but my father thought they were expensive and might spring a leak. Waterbeds are pretty expensive (unless you can find a good deal on a used one) and generally require a lot more upkeep than a normal mattress and bed. On a waterbed you have to worry about the pump, the conditioner for the water, the water itself, and of course the frame it sits in. I have a bad back and i know for me that sleeping on a new waterbed (with a good heater) provides a great nights sleep. If you have little children, pets, or other concerns then buying a waterbed might not be your best move. A lot of people buy a waterbed and then decide that they don't like it, so if you think you might fit that desrciption then you may consider a used waterbed. Craigslist is a great website to buy and sell used items (in this case a waterbed) and we highly recommend checking out their site if you would consider sleeping in a pre owned bed. If you take your time and look at a lot of listings online you will probably find a waterbed for under half price of retail. Some couples like waterbeds because they are a little more romantic and help give a sexy vibe to a bedroom. If your love life is on the rocks then what have you got to lose, do yourself a favor and check out some of the waterbeds we researched below.




Where to Buy Water Bed Sheets?:

If you own a waterbed then the odds are you are going to buy new sheets occasionally. Like a normal bed sheets for a waterbed come in a wide variety of styles and price. You can choose by size (full, twin, queen, king), price (about $50 up to $250), brand (Kozy Komfort, Rainbow, Moms Linen Chest), and type (satin, California, etc.). The main thing to consider when buying sheets for your waterbed is if they go with the rest of you bedding and decor. There are a lot of internet sites that sell waterbed sheets, but we would recommend checking out airbediq.com for a full line of products for sale. 1. Waterbed sheet sets Super Single 600 Thread Count 100% - comes in in 6 thread counts and 17 designer colors, sheets stay tucked using pocketed design - from $74.00 to $184.00. 2. Dream World Waterbed Sheet Sets 200 Thread Count Percale Queen - contours perfectly to the waterbed, 50/50 Cotton Polyester blend - $82.00.

Water Bed Heater - Furniture - Frame - Supply:

Do you need to replace your waterbed heater or pump? Maybe you are looking to upgrade your waterbed frame and furniture? Well we reviewed many different websites that sell waterbed heaters and supplies, so hopefully we can save you a little time and money. Waterbed.com is a great website to find a heater or bladder on for a discounted price. They sell 2 great Classic Sleep (low watt and softside) waterbed heaters for only $50, and you can pick up a waterbed bladder for any waterbed you might have. If you want to buy a waterbed frame or other furniture for your bed then check out furnitureesuperstore.com/softside_frames.asp. Their website is fast and easy to use, but be prepared to spend at least $80 for a decent bed frame. Once you buy a waterbed you might want to redecorate your current bedroom with some new furniture. If you are in the market for new furniture then check out their specials on accent furniture, armoires, along with wood and canopy beds.

Softside - Hardside WaterBeds:

Are you just looking for a good night's sleep? Are you having trouble sleeping all the way through the night? Well a waterbed might be your best option (it's worth a try) and we have reviewed some of the more popular models here. You will have to decide if you want a midfill (a median water depth, with 5-6 " of water), a shallowfill (3.5-4.5 " of water in the chamber), or the deepfill model that has 7-8" of water. If you want to buy a softside waterbed then consider the 2 models we have reviewed at waterbed.com. 1. Boyd Dreamscape Flotation Pillow Top Mattress Set - dual motionless mattress, water level can increase or decrease depending on body movements, 10 year warranty and queen mattress dimensions are 60" W x 80" L - $830.00. 2. Classic Sleep 23656 Beauty Dream Softside Midfill Waterbed - contouring foam and hollowfill will provide you with comfort for years, includes a solid pine wood foundation for extra toughness, available in twin, full, queen, and kind size - $535.00. They also carry a great collection of hardside waterbeds that come in 3 styles: free flow (no wave reducing materials), the semi-waveless (reduced wave motion by using pads to seperate water), and the waveless mattress where the water is usually seperated by thick pads. You can find a quality hardside mattress for $100 and if you have expensive taste then you can easily spend up to $500 for extra comfort.

Water Bed Repair - Water Bed Stores:

Do you need to repair your water bed heater or some other part? Are you trying to find a local water bed store? If you are in the market to buy a water bed and you need to find a good dealer (manufacturer near you) then check out local.com. Their website is the best online source we found to locate waterbed stores across the country. If you live in a big city like Los Angeles or San Francisco you should have an easy time finding many waterbed stores near your house. If you live in a smaller city like Manhattan Beach you might have to look a little harder to find a good store that carries all the big name brands like American National, Avant, Boyd, and Classic Sleep. If you need to repair your water bed then check out thebedroom.com.au/catalogue/category11/p430. They offer a repair kit for just $10.00, along with step by step instructions on finding a leak and fixing it. If there is a wrip or tear in your water bed you might consider taking it to a local shop to get serviced.
