Super Single Waterbed Insert

What is a Super Single Waterbed Insert?

Some people in recent years have opted for whatever reason to get rid of their old super single waterbed mattress. Instead these same individuals have decided to use one of the most interesting products made for people who no longer want to sleep on water. It is a regular mattress made to fit their existing waterbed frame. It is called a Super Single Waterbed Insert.

A regular mattress made to fit a super single waterbed frame. That is exactly what it is and it can utilize all of the typical mattress building materials like latex, memory foam, and of course the most popular coil springs. 

This photo demonstrates how you can easily get your hand down between the mattress and waterbed frame for making it.

Their fit and finished design makes it so that you can keep your super twin / super single waterbed frame, headboard, and drawer pedestal if you have one while no longer having to fill it with water. A person only needs to eliminate their water bed mattress and heater while keeping their standup safety liner as an insulator to protect the new mattress from wood splinters from the plywood.

How does a replacement mattress fit a super single waterbed?

There are a few brand name mattress companies who make these very special mattresses. Companies like Symbol Mattress, Campbell Mattress, King Koil, Denver Mattress, along with a handful of other brands. We are quite partial to our custom made line called the Therapedic Innergy 2 Waterbed Inserts ,but we have also been selling waterbed inserts for well over 35 years,  Most brands fit the bill quite nicely. No matter the brand name choose most are specially sized to fit and drop right in leaving you ample room for daily upkeep. A super single wood frame waterbed measures 48 x 84 inside  and waterbed insert mattresses measure 46 x 82. Thicknesses vary depending on the particular mattress. Some will be slightly lower than the wood side rails while others can be a little taller, so be sure to ask about mattress thickness. The reason for under sizing the mattress is to allow for easy making of the bed. One inch of space leaves just enough room to not only get your hands between the mattress and frame, but also to accommodate bedding like a mattress pad, waterbed sheets, and a comforter. Beds that are cut the exact dimensions of the bed frame do not leave the necessary room leaving the mattress nearly impossible to make.

Since you will not be using a boxspring or foundation, it is important you care for the mattress in a way that gets you the most life and bang for your buck. How can you do that you ask? Some water bed inserts can be 2 sided making flipping or turning the mattress over an option that will increase mattress life and promote even wear. This is also improves comfort and support over the lifetime of the mattress. Waterbed inserts are also great for taller people. Twin and full size mattresses are only 75” long queen and king mattresses are only 80” long. Super Single Mattresses are 82 making them a perfect solution for the big and tall.
