There are four choices you need to make to select the right Afloat for you:
A king size Afloat with the traditional foundation or the Space Saver platform and two averaged sized adults together weighs about 1800 pounds. This weight is spread over a large area. The “floor loading” or “weight per square foot” is well within building code requirements. The weight is a lot like having 8 people sitting at a dining room table. A queen weighs 15% to 20% less than a king.
Great news, no special sheets are required; all you need are standard sheets in the appropriate size.
The bed doesn't come with a mattress pad on top of the mattress. All Afloat beds comes with a stretch knit fabric cover is removable and machine washable keeping your bed hypoallergenic. If you elect to purchase the 1" memory foam (removable) layer, this layer will be between the vinyl waterbed mattress and the stretch knit fabric cover adding a little more cushion. Over 90% of our customer elect to purchase the memory foam. If you decide to purchase without the memory foam you can always buy it on our Afloat Extra’s page https://afloatsleep.com/afloat-extras/
Our Complete Waterbed Care Kit can be found here.
We recommend you add one bottle of water conditioner at least once per year as well as when you drain and refill your Afloat water mattress.
It's unlikely the dimensions will fit for your old waterbed so we advise you do not.
Yes, we can help determine the best way to do that. Just call us at (844) 423-5628.
The answer depends on the type of waterbed you owned. In broad terms, there were two types of waterbeds.
Type A: “Hard sided” waterbed.
This type had a temperature control system and a wood perimeter, usually made from 2 x 10 lumber.
Afloat similarities and differences:
Type B: “Soft sided” waterbed.
This type eliminated the wood box and had the look of a traditional mattress. Soft sides reduce the amount of water and increased the amount of foam or fiber padding. Many soft sides had no temperature control. Depending on the soft sided model, the unique body-contouring comfort and therapeutic temperature control were either somewhat reduced or totally eliminated.
Afloat similarities and differences:
The biggest problem will be trying to get your dog or cat to stay off Afloat, because cats and dogs love the soft, warm surface. Assuming your cat is not a mountain lion or Bengal tiger, claws are not a problem. Just keep Afloat covered with a mattress pad, sheets, and a comforter or bedspread. Even without bed linens a properly-filled Afloat is puncture-resistant because the vinyl surface is loose…not under surface tension. Another plus: if your pet has an “accident” the Afloat stretch-knit fabric surface is removable and machine-washable, and the vinyl water mattress surface is easy to clean. With any other type of bed, a pet “accident” can be a permanent problem.

Anything that holds air or water can leak. The greater the pressure and the smaller the molecule the greater the chance this could occur. For example, a tire or an air bed set on a high firmness level both have relatively high surface pressure and smaller air molecules, so they are at the high end of the scale. The Afloat water mattress is at the low end due to the larger water molecules and the loose, no-pressure design of the water mattress surface. In addition, the Afloat water mattress is separated from sharp objects by the Afloat stretch-knit mattress fabric cover, your mattress pad and bed sheets. Still, if a leak occurs your Afloat Care Kit contains a small patch kit and instructions for use. A pinhole leak on the surface usually can be patched in a minute or two, and assuming you followed the Afloat assembly instructions, any water will be captured by the Afloat liner.
