Water Bed
 

Hey guys and girls My daughter wants a water bed and I am concerned that it might be to much weight for my house. So the question is would you put a water bed in a trailor house is it to much weight are will it be ok. What do yall think

Dont know bout weight but I do know some chiropractors told us in a seminar the other day that water beds are the worst for your back. Not trying to start something. Just stating somethin I learned a few days ago.

Not a problem, weight is sq ft so it is evenly distributed.

Just a ruff calulation came up with 45 lbs per sq. ft. load for a water bed.

I think I remember that most Appartments will not allow a water bed to be put on a second floor.

Best thing would be to call a place that sells trailers and ask them.

Also recommend you check "online" for prices.......much cheaper than from a local store.

I would not recommend it. It certainly can't do that trailer any good. I slept in a California King for many years, but, it sat on a slab.

Thats alot of weight in a trailer house! Plus, if there is a leak(and there will be) thats alot of flooring to replace!





On another note........if the house is rockin, dont come a knockin!!!!! Water beds are awesome in that aspect!!!!!!!

Dink I had a water bed that I got rid of , didn't think it was all that I couldn't dig in like a reg. bed. Had to go to the floor a few times.

But back to the original question. I would not put a waterbed in a trailer, they might not look like it but they weight a lot.

Dink, I'm sure he appreciates the input, being that it's for his daughter and all.


Seriously though, Harley if you decide to get one, I have a king size waterbed with frame/headboard in a rental house that I am giving away. It is in good condition with no leaks. The only condition is you have to come get it. PM me if interested.

According to this info, a king size bed would come in at about 1640# . I'd say "not good"....

I remember we had one in our trailer back in the 80s

I think this is actually a little low. A king size waterbed holds roughly 248 gallons. Water weighs in at roughly 8.3 pounds per gallon, assuming 70 degrees at atmospheric pressure. So a king size would weigh 2058-2070 pounds, depending..

A queen size would be around 1315, give or take

Well first off guys I all ready have the water bed but thanks everyone for the offers on one. Second yes they are fun to have some fun fun on but they are the best to have fun fun on only if you take the sheets off and put baby oil on the water bed man that is fun miss them days. Ok with that being said I thank all of yall for the in put and will not be putting the water bed in the house to much weight and dont want the floor to get wet or it to sag real bad

Don't worry about the weight. They are evenly distributed and the weight is not a factor. Also you can put a liner in it that will hold the water if the mattress springs a leak. Have three in a trailer for 10 years and never was a problem. Youngest son tried until he finally made it leak and the liner held the water. Go for it.
