How to Replace a Waterbed Mattress with an Airbed
Waterbed frames can be used without a waterbed mattress. If you are unable to keep your waterbed set up for any reason, it is possible to replace it with an air mattress insert. Hard-side waterbed frames are perfect for air mattresses because they provide a protective barrier for the mattress and help keep it in place. Inserts made especially to fit the dimensions of a waterbed frame and constructed of thick, durable vinyl can be found online or in waterbed or mattress stores. Does this Spark an idea?
