How much water is there in a water bed?

How much water goes into a water bed

The question of how much water goes into a water bed cannot be answered in general. On the one hand, personal preferences also count here.

• Because more water in the water bed means that you lie harder in the bed and less water allows you to sink in more easily and thus softer lying in the water bed.
• As a rule, the best fill level of a water bed is about 1 cm - 2 cm below the top edge of the foam frame, but without you already lying in bed.

Before you start filling a waterbed, you should always read the enclosed manufacturer's instructions very carefully. Because there is the maximum amount of water that can be filled into a water bed.

The right amount for more sleeping comfort

It is recommended not to fill a water bed with the maximum capacity. If there is too much water in the

bed comes, you are no longer lying comfortably, but have the feeling of being able to roll off the bed.

• When filling your bed, make sure that you do not sag to the floor or that the mattress bulges up below you. You will feel the feeling especially on your legs when too much water has been poured in.
• Too much water in bed means that you are lying too high and too little water creates the well-known hammock effect. You literally sag, and in the worst case you can even feel the floor slab.
• Objectively speaking, the water bed is properly filled when you lie completely upright. Your legs must not be pushed up and your buttocks must not sag.
• You can test for yourself whether there is too much water in your bed. Lie on your side and see if you can lie steady. If you get the feeling you are tipping back or forth, you need to drain off a little water.

When draining water, always start with small amounts. Just 2 liters have an effect on lying comfort. If you do not know how much water is in your waterbed so that you can sleep optimally, then have the bed filled by a specialist.
