There was a time when waterbed sheet manufacturers had a specialized product that required them to make a certain type of sheet which would fit the unique attributes of a larger or otherwise more awkward waterbed mattress. After all, the waterbed has rounded corners and a thicker profile. Well, this thickness of the mattress has become more popular with modern mattress design and now many sheets are made with a different thickness or height to them. The same is true for a futon mattress. You will notice that the futon has many similar features as a waterbed. Both have a thicker profile than many traditional mattresses and the corners are more rounded than a typical bed. Because of these factors, it is easier to find these types of bed sheets.
