When drilling holes in a waterbed frame for a Sleep Number mattress, ensure you do so at the head and foot of the frame to accommodate the air chambers. Typically, you should drill holes that align with the mattress's air chamber ports, usually located on the sides. Use a drill bit that matches the size of the ports to ensure a snug fit, and avoid drilling too close to the edges to maintain the frame's integrity. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for specific instructions regarding your mattress model.

For years, waterbeds have been a popular alternative to traditional mattresses. Even before the invention of Tempurpedic and Sleep Number beds, waterbeds were shaking up the scene for those who couldn’t find a good night’s sleep on a regular mattress. When shopping for a waterbed, there are a few important things to keep in mind before you hit the waterbed stores. Like traditional mattresses, waterbeds come in a variety of sizes and levels of firmness, so it’s important to have an idea of the kind of bed you’re looking for. There are two types of waterbeds on the market; hardside waterbeds, and softside. The hardside version contains a mattress, filled with water, that are placed on top of a frame. Often, when people picture waterbeds, they think of hardside mattresses, as this was the type that was extremely popular during the 1970’s and 1980’s. The hardside waterbed offers a lot of movement, especially if you choose one that only has one water chamber, sending waves throughout the bed. If you like the feel of the hardside waterbed, but want a little less movement, there are waveless and semi-waveless options. One of the difficulties with hardside waterbeds is that they tend to be larger than the traditional mattress, because of the rigid and heavy frame. Before purchasing a hardside waterbed, make sure you have enough space for the size you’re purchasing. Another issue is that because of the odd shape and size of the mattress, normal sheets will not fit the hardside waterbed. You’ll need to purchase special waterbed sheets, which are not difficult to find, but come in a smaller variety of styles. Softside waterbeds are made a bit more like a traditional mattress. They look like regular beds, and come in the same sizes as traditional mattresses. Softside mattresses are mattresses filled with water that have been placed inside layers of foam and vinyl. Softside beds tend to be firmer, and provide less of a feeling of movement, but many find the water provides a more comfortable surface than the traditional mattress. Whatever your preference, waterbed stores will allow you to customize your sleeping experience. Adding pillowtops, memory foam mattress toppers, water heaters, and other accessories, will make your bed a comfortable, one-of-a-kind creation.
