A waterbed offers unique sleeping comfort – but anyone who owns one knows the problem: Standard fitted sheets simply don't fit. They slip, wrinkle, or pop off as soon as you lie down. The solution is a fitted sheet for high and bulky mattresses – like the biberna Jersey-Elastic fitted sheet (Art. 0077866).
Why standard fitted sheets fail on waterbeds
-
Large height: The water core, safety basin, and foam frame create heights of 20 cm or more – standard sheets don't reach around the corners.
-
Flexible surface: The water filling gives way; a slightly stretchy sheet slips or comes loose.
-
Heavy weight: A filled waterbed cannot be lifted – the sheet must be easy to pull over.
The result with unsuitable sheets: wrinkles under your back and a cool, visible surface at the edges.
The solution: biberna Jersey-Elastic fitted sheet
The Jersey-Elastic is made exactly for these requirements.
Highly elastic jersey that stretches in all directions
The soft cotton jersey stretches in all directions and hugs every mattress shape and height – even the bulky corners of a waterbed are enclosed without wrinkles.
All-around elastic for a secure fit
A continuous all-around elastic keeps the sheet securely in position – no riding up, even when the water filling moves.

Choosing the right size for the waterbed
- Measure the sleeping surface (width × length).
- Consider the height of the base – if in doubt, choose the next larger size class.
- For two separate water cores, use one fitted sheet per sleeping surface.
Tip: It is better to choose slightly larger – the elastic jersey pulls together thanks to the all-around elastic.
Care
Washable at 60 °C, without fabric softener, tumble dryer safe, non-iron.
