A Look at Waterbed Sheet Sizes -

 by Kevin Stith

Just like conventional beds, waterbeds come in a number of sizes. It is important to buy the appropriate size sheet for the bed, or the sheets will not fit properly and make it difficult to sleep on the bed. One must take several factors into account when choosing what size sheet to buy. The length and width of the mattress are the two most obvious things to consider, but the depth of the mattress is another important aspect to take into consideration. The type of frame is also important. Whether the frame is soft or hard has an effect on how easy it is to fit the sheet over the mattress.

 

The Benefits of Waterbed Sheet Sets

It is a good idea to purchase a full set including a comforter when buying waterbed sheets. Buying waterbed sheet sets is more economical than buying all of the components separately. Getting a comforter along with the sheets allows for more versatility with the bed and keeps the owner from having to buy a separate blanket for use during the cold months of the year. Also, it is much easier to purchase a full sheet set that includes a matching comforter than it is to find a matching comforter separately. Waterbed sheet sets are available in all major fabrics and for all sizes of waterbed.
The unique styling of waterbed sheets is something that necessitates purchasing them in sets. Instead of buying the fitted sheet separately from the flat sheets, as is often done with conventional sheets, waterbed sheets often come with the fitted and flat sheets connected to each other. With many waterbed sheet sets, the flat sheet is sewn to the center of the foot of the fitted sheet. This makes it easier for people to make the bed, as they do not constantly have to tuck the flat sheet into the foot of the bed. This is an added advantage for waterbeds with wooden frames because they often leave little room for sliding hands and fingers around the mattress to make the bed. Another unique feature of waterbed sheets is that the fitted sheet often has corner flaps that hold the sheet in place and keep it from slipping while people sleep on it.
It is advisable to buy a sheet set that includes a comforter. A matching or complimentary comforter adds style to the sheet set and provides warmth on cold nights. It is easier to buy a comforter with the sheets than it is to find one that matches, especially for sheets with unique colors or patterns that may be difficult to match. Another advantage to buying a waterbed sheet and comforter is that they are usually less expensive when purchased together, as main reason that sheet sets are sold is to provide buyers with a good deal. When purchased all together, sheet sets can save the buyer almost a third of the cost of the all of the components bought separately.
Waterbed sheet sets provide convenience and value to consumers. They feature all of the things that waterbed owners need for their bed in one package, and a waterbed sheet set and comforter provides even more value.

Some of the most commonly found waterbed mattress sizes are King, Queen, Single, and Super Single. One thing to remember is that many waterbeds with hard frames are measured on what is called the California bed size chart. Waterbeds are usually longer than conventional beds, so the sheets are usually 84 inches long instead of the standard 74 inches for most conventional beds. Most bed sizes differ in width rather than length. This is pretty common for waterbeds, but it is important to check for differences between these sizes and conventional sizes. With most sheets, they cost more depending on their size. Since King is the biggest size, they are usually the most expensive. Sometimes, all of the sizes cost the same price.

King waterbed sheets are one of the more common sizes. They are the biggest and usually the most expensive. Queen is the next biggest size. Queen waterbed sheets are also pretty easy to find. Full waterbed sheets are not as common. Full size waterbeds are smaller than Queen size but still big enough for two people. Full size is sometimes called double size. Single waterbed sheets are designed to fit on beds made for one person. Super single waterbed sheets are a little bit wider than single size, but not as wide as full size.

It is important to know the depth, or thickness, of the mattress as well. If any mattress pads or other accessories are added onto the mattress, it may make it too thick for the sheets to fit. Most waterbed mattresses have a standard depth, but it is still a good idea to check that the sheets will fit.

There are a number of different sizes of waterbeds to choose from, each with sheets made just for it. It is important to get the precise size of the bed right when buying the sheets to guarantee that they will fit snugly and provide a comfortable night’s sleep.
