Waterbed Sizes (from waterbedauthority.com)A hard sided waterbed has sides of dimensional lumber, usually 2 X 10 lumber, which is actually about 1 1/2" x 9 1/2". When measuring the size of a hard-sided waterbed, you measure the inside of the waterbed frame, not the outside. The California king or waterbed king size is 72" x 84" inside of the frame. The California queen or waterbed queen size is 60" x 84". The super single size is 48" x 84".
  • King Size Waterbed Mattress: 72 in. X 84 in.
  • Queen Size Waterbed Mattress: 60 in. X 84 in.
  • Super-Single Waterbed Mattress: 48 in. X 84 in.

Doing the math, a King water bed has 72 x 84 x 9.5 = 57456 cubic inches of water volume. This equals 248.7 gallons of water which would weigh 2071 pounds.

You need to measure it and multiply thickness x width x length. (-ie .75 x 4 x 6 feet. - this gives 18 cubic feet. -There are 6.23 Imp.G or 7.48 USG per cubic foot. This gives you 112 Imp Gallons or 134.6 US gallons. )

How to Find What You Need in Waterbed Stores?

Waterbed stores are centralized locations to fulfill all of your waterbed needs. Whether you have owned a waterbed for several years or are shopping for your first one, good waterbed stores will be able to help you find exactly what you need to suit your particular type of waterbed. Traditional Waterbed Designs Traditional waterbeds rest on platforms lower to the ground than a typical bed mattress. The sides are designed to hold a large vinyl mattress that fills with water. Usually there is a flat heating element that covers the base of the bed in order to heat the water that is inside the mattress. Most traditional waterbeds have soft covers on the edges of the sides of the bed to keep them comfortable for those who sleep in the bed. You can customize the amount of support you need from the bed by choosing different fill levels for the water. Soft Sided Waterbeds A relatively new waterbed design, soft sided waterbeds look exactly like traditional mattress and box spring sets. The box springs on a soft sided bed are sturdier than your average set of box springs because they have to support the weight of the water inside the mattress. The mattress itself is shaped just like a traditional mattress, but the top unzips to reveal the water mattress that provides the support for sleepers. Once the inner mattress has been filled with an adequate amount of water, the top of the outer mattress can be zipped closed. Soft sided waterbeds use the same sheets as traditional beds. Necessary Accessories If you have a waterbed there are several items that you will need. Differen hoses and attachments are necessary for you to fill and drain your waterbed when you need to move it or clean it. Traditional waterbeds are shaped very differently than traditional mattress and box spring beds, so you need to purchase sheets that are specially designed to fit on a traditional waterbed. There are also chemicals that you can put in the water to keep it from developing bacteria. Waterbed stores provide all of the different products you need to keep your waterbed comfortable and sanitary for daily use.
