Waterbed sheets can be hard to find these days. Note that the length of hardside systems are all 84 inches vs. 80 inches that are typical of conventional mattresses. This is why normal sheets do not work with waterbeds. Waterbed sheets and supplies are harder to find at local retailers. And when you do find them, there is usually not a great selection. I have found that Amazon.com has a good selection, excellent prices and great customer service.

Flannel Waterbed Sheets are used by many during the colder seasons for their warmth and softness qualities. There are many people though, that use these type of sheets year round. Flannel waterbed sheets are durable and and easy to wash and dry.
Flannel fabrics are noted for their fuzzy softness, warmth, and durability, and they can be dyed or printed. Thought to have been popularized in Wales in the 17th century, flannel was an all-wool fabric made of woolen or worsted yarns, with a brushed surface and a soft napped finish obscuring its weave.
Flannel may be plain woven or twill woven and, today, most flannel fabrics are made of cotton fibers or synthetic rayon fibers that are slightly napped on both sides to resemble the old woolen or worsted yarn weaves. A wide range of flannel weights and textures is available.
The fabric weight and quality of the napping affect the warmth and softness of the fabric. Many people prefer flannel bedding during the cold, winter months, but some flannel weights are appropriate in breatheability and comfort all year long.
