Waterbed Bladders (Hardside & Softside)

Upgrade or replace your current waterbed setup with our high-quality replacement waterbed bladders. Available for both traditional hardside timber frames and modern softside fabric-padded frames, our range spans from traditional free-flowing movement to ultra-stable waveless comfort.

Every bladder in this range is backed by a trusted 2-Year Warranty.

Understanding Motion Reduction (MR)

Our bladder models use the prefix MR, which stands for Motion Reduction. The number that follows is an estimated percentage indicating how waveless the bladder is. Please note these percentages are general indications rather than exact measurements.

• MR0 (Free Flow): A traditional, no-baffle bladder that offers maximum, classic waterbed movement. A very wavy experience.

• MR50 (Entry-Level Waveless): Our entry-level motion reduction model, offering approximately a 50% wave reduction for balanced movement.

• MR60 (Standard Waveless): A step up from the entry-level model, providing approximately a 60% wave reduction.

• MR75 (Intermediate Waveless): The ideal middle ground if you want something between a standard waveless experience and a highly stable surface (approximately 75% wave reduction).

• MR90 (Premium Highly Waveless): Our most popular waveless bladder across both hardside and softside configurations, offering approximately a 90% wave reduction.

• MR95 (Ultra-Waveless Aquapedic / Non-Wavy): The ultimate choice for anyone wanting a virtually non-waveless, highly stable sleeping surface. Provides approximately 95% or more wave reduction.

Not sure which model suits you? Choosing the right bladder layout is important. Please don't hesitate to ask us if you are unsure which motion reduction level will best fit your sleeping style!

To figure out what replacement bladder you need, check your bed's outer frame:

• Hard-Side Waterbed: The vinyl mattress sits directly inside a solid wooden frame. You will need a Hard-Side replacement bladder (which relies on the wood frame to hold its shape).

• Soft-Side Waterbed: The vinyl mattress is encased inside a foam perimeter with a zippered fabric cover (making it look like a regular mattress). You will need a Soft-Side replacement bladder (designed to fit inside that specific foam box).

Tip: Measure the inside length and width of your wooden frame or foam encasement to ensure you buy the correct size (e.g., Queen, King).
