Waterbed Mattress Pads

Waterbed mattress pads can enhance your enjoyment of your waterbed. You know you can sleep well in a waterbed, but using a mattress pad will give you more personal comfort and support as well as improving air circulation around you and your mattress.

If you are using a hard-sided water bed, then you can choose from a wide selection of mattress pads. There are cotton top waterbed pads for your mattress, heavy-duty polyester, as well as thermal waterbed pads. Whichever your preference, it is important you buy or order the appropriate size pad for your water bed. You should measure the overall depth of the waterbed mattress and the pillow top that you intend to cover.

You can also get mattress pads for your hard-sided waterbed which are quilted, this means the mattress pad has side quilting for a more elegant and sophisticated look. They can come in different sizes, and are usually made up of 100 percent cotton. Usually, the pads fit perfectly to a mattress with a depth of 12 inches. For a plusher feel as well as improved support, you can get pads with additional filling and anchor bands. Pads made from 100 percent cotton should be machine washable and only need gentle drying.

Classier mattress pads tend to be made of cluster fibers. They have various sizes, so you can choose one which perfectly fits your bed frame. They normally come with an anchor band and are made of 100 percent cotton. They can be fitted to a mattress with a depth of 16 inches and utilize a zippered mattress cover. What’s generally great about these types of mattress pads is the amazing sleeping comfort you can obtain from their down-like fill of cluster fiber—a mixture of softness for a sounder sleep and hardness that warrants their long-lasting use.

If you are not sure of the size of your water bed then you can simply opt for the one-size-fits all mattress pads. Regardless of whether you have hard-sided or soft-sided water beds in king and queen sizes, you know you can’t go wrong with these mattress pads. Normally, they are made of 100 percent quilted cotton top and can contain additional deep pockets. They are designed to be usable to any standard mattresses available, even those with a 14-inch depth. To make them extra soft, they may be overfilled with cotton or polyester.
