Are Standard Mattress Sizes The Same As Waterbed Sizes?

Do you have a wood-framed waterbed? Wonder if a regular mattress like a Sealy, Serta would fit it? We are here to help you answer that question:

Are Standard Mattress Sizes The Same As Waterbed Sizes?

No, they are not. Wood-framed waterbed mattresses and standard sized mattresses are not the same sizes. However below are the 3 standard wood frame waterbed sizes. Along with them are the common correlating standard mattress sizes people often think will fit. As you will clearly see regular mattresses are not a good fit. Below, we have provided a link that will solve such a dilemma.

  • Super Single waterbed cavity is 48 by 84 where twin size standard mattresses are 38 by 75 and full size standard mattresses are 54 by 75.
  • California Queen waterbed cavity is 60 by 84 and a standard queen mattress is 60 by 80
  • California King waterbed cavity is 72 by 84 and standard king mattresses measure 76 by 80
