Professional reviewers at The Waterbed Doctor and Waterbed Outlet commend the 9-inch, 95% waveless construction, 16-chamber hydraulic system and 2-inch foam baffles for delivering near-still sleep surfaces while maintaining firm support. They also highlight the reinforced L-corner, edge support, and long warranty as indicators of durability, noting free shipping and heater compatibility as practical benefits.
Everyday users consistently praise the bed's near-motionless feel, strong lumbar support, and sturdy edge sitting, rating it highly for shared sleeping and back-pain relief. Common complaints revolve around the heavy weight, time-consuming water fill, and occasional leaks if the bed is overfilled, though most owners find the overall comfort worth the effort.
“Firm yet luxurious, no motion transfer”
“easy edge sitting”
Professional reviewers highlighted the MT00817 as a solid component of a full hardside waterbed bundle, noting its waveless construction and inclusion of necessary accessories, though they did not provide a detailed product-specific critique.
Pros: 95% waveless design minimizes motion transfer for a stable sleeping surface; Five wave-reducing fiber layers provide even weight distribution across the mattress; Adjustable firmness allows users to customize support to personal preference; Reinforced bladder corners and 18 mil smooth vinyl increase durability and resistance to punctures; Light empty weight of 28 lb (12.7 kg) makes handling and installation easier. Cons: No publicly available data on filled weight or water capacity makes planning for water volume difficult; Limited consumer feedback and expert reviews reduce confidence in real-world performance; Size-specific dimensions and thickness may vary, leading to potential fit issues with existing frames; Only vinyl cover options (e.g., purple) are mentioned, limiting aesthetic customization; Absence of built-in heating system requires separate purchase for temperature control.
