Hi,
I am thinking about buying a waterbed. Will that be to heavy for my mobile home? It's a 1990. I have no idea how I would know and don't want to buy one if it will be to heavy.
Thank you,
Gail
Water bed
Re: Water bed
A water bed weighs less per sq ft that tne fridge in the kitchen. The weight is not a problem BUT If you have particle board floors you want to avoid a water bed. Even the best of them will leak from time to time.
Re: Water bed
A water bed may weigh less per square foot (and I am not so sure about that), but more importantly is how that weight is distributed. If it's on a standing frame, the weight may be resting on only 6 points. If those points happen to end up between floor joists, the floor WILL sag over time.
I don't think it's ever a bad idea to add a little extra support whenever you are going to be adding substantial weight to the floor, be it a waterbed, aquarium, or even large TV. Get a floor jack or two and support the joists under the bed. Cheap insurance against a warped floor.
