Hardside waterbeds are a bed frame with a headboard and footboard, so there's no need to purchase a frame or foundation for it.

Can you use any bed frame for a waterbed?

Generally yes, if you have a bed frame that will fit a conventional mattress/divan then it will fit a soft-sided divan waterbed. We often convert brass frames, four poster beds, sleigh beds and TV beds. There are situations where a waterbed cannot fit within a standard or custom bed frame.

Are bed frames really necessary?

A bed frame is necessary if you want to feel supported at night while you sleep. While bed frames can be pricey and bulky depending on the one you buy, they can prevent allergens, insects, and mold from entering your mattress, and will support your box spring or foundation for years to come.
