Waterbed mattresses have long been favorites for people who love a good night’s sleep, and today there are more options than ever for those looking to by a waterbed mattress for their home.

The most traditional is the wood-frame waterbed, which is an open rubber mattress filled with water and held in place by a wooden box frame. It has lots of wave motion and the feeling of floating, which many owners love. For individuals looking for a more traditional look, there are also soft-sided waterbed mattresses, which are edged with thick foam and covered in upholstery cloth to resemble innerspring mattresses. These can be used with traditional bed frames in most cases.

Waterbed mattresses also come with single chambers (with more wave motion) or with multiple chambers. Multiple chamber waterbed mattresses are great for those who love the support and proper spinal alignment they get with a waterbed mattress, but don't want the "sloshing" feel and the movement when someone else gets out of or into the bed.

There are many different types of chambered, soft-sided waterbeds using either just water or a combination of water and air in several chambers to give more stability. With so many types of waterbed to choose from, almost everyone can find a waterbed that will give them excellent comfort and support for years of sleeping soundly.
