May 1, 2025 Update: Waterbed Inventory, Price & Tariffs.

There will be some price increases when the tariffs effect our landed costs. Hardside and Softside liners are made in China so those retail prices will spike upward for sure. Our Hardside and Softside heaters are manufactured in Poland and the wood in our Softside foundations comes in from Canada. Tariffs could have a real impact on the cost of a Softsisde even though they are Made In America. If you plan on buying a Softside in the future, you might want to go ahead and do so now.

Since most all of our waterbed products are made in America, our waterbed inventory levels are always pretty good. We usually have a plentiful supply of complete waterbeds, softside and hardside, and all of the common replacement parts for both styles. Almost everything is available for immediate pick up but please call and let us check inventory if you are making a long trip. Since we warehouse everything on site, we can ground ship the same day by UPS if you call before 2:00 on weekdays. We can ship almost everything except furniture and although we keep our softside waterbeds in stock, we prefer to have the manfacturer drop ship complete systems to prevent possible freight damage. Softside replacement parts can easily be shipped by us the same day.

We are pleased to be featuring a new collection of hardside waterbed frames that are made in America from American Red Oak. There are two bookcase headboards and a 5-board panel headboard and stocked in California King and Queen for use with a "hardside" frame. Plus, there are three pedestals to choose from; a standard 12 inch tall oak pedestal, 14" tall oak 6-drawer Princess Pedestal and an 18 inch tall oak 8-drawer Captains Pedestal. All oak beds come with half inch oak plywood decking. The new hardside oak collection is on the Wood Frame Waterbed Packages page and all beds and pedestals are set up in the store for you to inspect.

Oak headboards, drawers and furniture for softside waterbeds are on our Oak Bedroom Furniture page and stocked in the coventional sizes of Eastern King and Queen so they can be used with any type of mattress including spring, memory foam, or sleep number.

This is my old waterbed buddy, Jeff. His company, Merrill Manufacturing, made all of the pine waterbed furniture that I sold for decades. He is now retired and living the good life in Florida! In store photo from February 2017.
