Waterbed Sheets? What About Normal Sheets?

Waterbed sheets would seem strange if you already have sheets but they are distinctly different to standard bed sheets and this is for good reason.

Getting sheets to stay on a vinyl surface can be difficult plus a mattress full of water can be difficult to manoeuvre to change sheets on.

The answer is that at minimum you want a mattress pad for two reasons, to keep body oils off the vinyl to avoid slow degradation of the vinyl but also to stop sheets slipping.

Over time you will realise that waterbed sheets are the way forward. They are generally pocketed at corners, have elasticated corner straps or have poles for slipping between frame and mattress for hard side waterbeds.

You'll find numerous styles of sheets made from a great many types of fabric so your not spoilt for choice and in terms of price they are not that far different from normal bed sheets, essential no just preferable.
