When selecting a waterbed, one can choose either a waveless or a free flow model. Although originally waterbeds were almost exclusively designed with a regular bladder, over time bed models that provided a less wavy sleeping experience became more popular. To reduce the amount of movement experienced while sleeping, waveless mattresses were introduced.

There are a number of differences between a waveless waterbed and one that is free flow. In the case of a free flow waterbed, essentially the bladder is just a simple bag of water. Although some people enjoy the feeling of this type of mattress, others feel that it creates too many waves and too much motion while sleeping. This style of mattress can also make it difficult to move in bed without creating waves that could disturb a sleeping partner.

There are a number of different ways to create a waveless waterbed mattress. One method involves adding one or more layers of fiber inside the bladder so that it floats in the insert. The fiber inserts essentially help to minimize the ripples and waves that can occur with the mattress, while still allowing it to contour to the body’s shape and provide good support. For those who want less motion, a mattress with multiple layers of fiber is the best choice.

Baffles are another method to control the waterbed’s motion.  With this style of mattress, instead of being designed as a simple bag, it contains numerous chambers that divide the water up into compartments. By using this type of design, a firmer sleeping experience can be provided. Additionally, overall movement of the mattress is reduced because the water has been divided up into segments. This can greatly reduce the amount of motion that is felt over the entire bed, allowing one person to move around without causing waves for their sleeping partner.

Another advantage of the waveless mattress is that it can allow for a wider array of bed firmness levels. This can be helpful for individuals who need or desire a firmer mattress than what a free form mattress can provide. However, it is also possible to create a softer mattress, while still providing the reduction in motion that many people prefer.

A percentage score often refers to the level of motion reduction. When shopping for a mattress, paying attention to this score can help consumers find the mattress that is best for their preferences.
