What Is The Difference Between A Harside Waterbed And A Softside Waterbed?
A softside waterbed mattress is made to mimic the look of a traditional mattress, while still providing the great feel of floating on the open water. A softside waterbed allows you to use a standard bed frame and bedding with these mattresses. Different types of softside waterbeds range from shallow fill, to mid-fill, to deep fill softside water beds, depending on how much motion or wave action you prefer during sleep.
A hardside water bed mattress is what you typically think of when you imagine a waterbed. It is comprised of a a hard-sided bed frame that keeps the sides of the waterbed from bulging outward. (Hence the name hardside waterbed) The waterbed bladder itself is usually made from flexible yet durable vinyl. Hardside waterbeds require a heating element underneath the fluid chamber that will keep the water a pleasant and safe temperature.
Do I Need A Foundation For My Hardside Of Softside Waterbed Mattress?
We highly recommend purchasing a proper foundation. Your softside waterbed mattress needs to be on a firm base to maintain its integrity. Also not having your mattress on a firm flat base will void the warranty.
A hardside waterbed requires a special frame/foundation that will support the waterbed fluid cell and prevent the sides from bulging outwards. The correct hardside foundation is absolutely critical to a the safe and proper function of this type of waterbed.
