Description
Escape The Water — Keep The Bed You Love
The R2C Escape Plush Waterbed Mattress Insert is designed for waterbed owners who want to move away from water without giving up the furniture, layout, or storage they already rely on. Built to fit directly inside a hard-side wood waterbed frame, the Escape Plush replaces your water mattress while allowing you to keep your existing frame, headboard, drawers, and bedding—with no box spring required.
Installation is straightforward. Remove the water mattress and heater, place the Escape Plush directly on the decking or plywood surface, and enjoy a quieter, cleaner, maintenance-free sleep experience. No filling, draining, conditioning, or temperature adjustments—just a traditional mattress feel in the bed you already own.
Balanced Comfort With A Plush Touch
The Escape Plush is engineered for sleepers who prefer a softer surface feel without sacrificing support. Its comfort design delivers gentle pressure relief at the shoulders and hips while maintaining stable, even support from edge to edge. This balance makes it an excellent option for side sleepers, combination sleepers, and anyone transitioning from a softer-feeling water mattress.
At the core of the Escape Plush is a durable, individually encased coil system that responds independently to your body’s movement. This design promotes proper spinal alignment, reduces motion transfer, and provides consistent support across the entire sleep surface—whether sleeping solo or with a partner.
Built For Longevity, Designed For Daily Living
As part of the R2C Reliability 2-Sided Collection, the Escape Plush is constructed to be flipped and rotated, allowing for more even wear over time and a longer usable lifespan. Two-sided construction not only enhances durability but also helps maintain comfort and support year after year.
The mattress is intentionally sized slightly smaller than the interior of traditional waterbed frames, creating just enough clearance around the edges for easier bed making and everyday use—something longtime waterbed owners immediately appreciate.
Featured Mattress Firmness
R2C Escape Plush — Firmness Rating: 6.5–7.0
The Escape Plush falls in the upper-plush range, offering a cushioned surface feel paired with dependable underlying support. It is soft enough to relieve pressure and reduce stiffness, yet firm enough to prevent excessive sink and maintain proper body alignment throughout the night.

Product Features
R2C Escape Plush – Construction & Product Features
Model Overview
- Model Name: Escape Plush
- Collection: R2C – Reliability 2-Sided Collection
- Shipping Format: BIB – Bed-In-A-Box
- Model #: 1238 (Regular) / 1247 (Waterbed Insert)
Designed specifically as a waterbed replacement mattress, the Escape Plush combines modern coil support with plush comfort layers—while remaining flippable for long-term durability.
Cover & Quilting (Both Sides)
Stretch Knit Fabric
A soft, flexible stretch knit fabric allows the comfort layers beneath to respond naturally to your body, improving pressure relief and preventing a stiff or restrictive feel.
Safe FR Quilting
Fire resistance is achieved using Safe FR quilting on both sides—meeting safety standards without harsh chemical sprays and helping maintain breathability and long-term comfort.
1″ Plush Quilt Foam
Quilted directly into the cover, this layer creates the initial plush hand feel, softening surface pressure without compromising overall support.
Comfort & Upholstery Layers (Both Sides)
½” Comfort Foam
Acts as a transition layer between the quilt foam and deeper upholstery layers, preventing an abrupt “firm hit” and creating smoother pressure distribution.
1″ High-Performance Foam
Adds deeper comfort support and helps distribute body weight evenly, contributing to the Escape Plush’s balanced feel—plush on top, supportive underneath.
Together, these layers provide:
- Gentle pressure relief
- Reduced pressure points at shoulders and hips
- A plush feel without excessive sink
Support Core
8″ Heavy-Gauge Individually Encased Coil System
Each steel coil is wrapped individually, allowing it to respond independently to your body’s movement and weight.
Benefits include:
- Consistent support across the entire sleep surface
- Reduced motion transfer between sleepers
- Improved spinal alignment compared to water or open-coil systems
Coil Counts By Size
- Twin: 364
- Full: 532
- Queen: 630
- King: 810
Higher coil counts provide better weight distribution and overall stability—especially important when transitioning from water.
Edge Support
Perimeter Spring Steel Edge
A reinforced steel edge around the perimeter helps the mattress maintain its shape and provides a stable seating surface when getting in and out of bed.
Improves:
- Edge-to-edge usability
- Long-term durability
- Stability inside a hard-side waterbed frame
Two-Sided, Flippable Design
Unlike most modern mattresses, the Escape Plush is fully two-sided, with identical comfort and upholstery layers on both sleeping surfaces.
Why This Matters:
- Promotes even wear
- Extends mattress lifespan
- Helps maintain comfort and support over time
Regular flipping And Rotation Are Recommended.
Designed For Hard-Side Wood Waterbed Frames
- Sits directly on existing decking or plywood
- No box spring required
- Sized slightly smaller than the interior cavity for easier bed making
- Allows you to keep your frame, headboard, drawers, and bedding
This mattress is purpose-built for waterbed replacement, not a standard furniture-store mattress forced to fit.
Warranty
10-Year Non-Prorated Warranty
Full coverage with no depreciation schedule, reflecting the durability of the materials and construction.
