Can I have a waterbed mattress on a regular frame?
I wanted to use my mattress with my box spring and just layer it with something else so the box spring has no chance of poking a waterbed, but is it possible or is the waterbed always fall off or what? And the regular frame is even more can not keep?

Hi.. I’ve been selling waterbeds for over 34 years… I believe, I understand what you are trying to do..
If you are thinking about adding one of the soft-side waterbeds (the waterbed that looks like a conventional mattress) to your exsisting frame and box spring… here’s what you’ll have to do. You will need to upgrade your metal bed frame so that it has at least 9 legs for the additional support.. You will also need to upgrade your foundation (box spring) to support the additional weight of the water.
If you are thinking about using a regular waterbed mattress on top of your exsisting frame and box springs.. that won’t work.. The waterbed mattress needs to have a complete wooden frame … support on all sides… You will need a heater, and a safety liner… The regular way to set this up is: A riser (a small wooden frame with 2 – X’s of wood … on top of this will be a plywood decking.. then your wooden frame.. A King waterbed weighs approx 2200 lbs. or 275 gallons of water!!Try checking out your local newspaper for a used model.. you maybe able to get a really good deal.. You will get all of the parts you need so that you can enjoy your waterbed and have a safe sleep. The last thing you want is to have a water leak and have anything damaged or destroyed…
I’ve attached a link that shows a better picture and full instructions on what is needed…http://www.mywaterbed.com/install/_pdf/SterlingHardsideInstall.pdf
Use this as a guide and you should be able to make the frame, riser and decking yourself… save $$

Not unless it says you can do that. Some of them have built in frame support on the sides. A regular waterbed mattress needs support on the sides as well. When filled, they are extremely heavy. You also should have a liner inside the bedframe in case of leakage. Many people wind up having floor damage if the mattress fails. You also need a heater or you will be frozen in the morning.
