I have never used "poles" on my waterbed sheets, Do you have to have the poles for these sheets, will they "work" without the poles?

I never had used poles either, but they work great. You have to cut them from 1" or so PVC, but they definitely hold the bottom sheet in place. And yes, you can use the sheets without the poles, it's just an extra fabric flap that'll be hidden under the mattress.

I've always (for the last 26 years anyways) used sheets with poles, so I have an abundance of poles to use. I would definitely recommend using the poles in the pockets. If you don't have any, cut some small, maybe 1", PVC pipe about the length of the pocket. You'll be happy with the result.

They have a pretty deep corner pocket, so I suspect that it would hold form even without the poles. The poles just add extra security.

they will work without the polls but I strongly recommend getting the polls your sheets will never pull loose again

You don't need to use the poles, however you could just use dowel rods if you don't have any poles. I really love the sheets.

great question. I actually didn't need tot poles I just needed the shock cord and the nice little leader. I stashed the poles for future use. Only one end of each section of poles though have the ferrules on them so you should just be able to saw off the other end to the appropriate length and viola!

No the pole doesn't come with it. I used mine once and water got into it and it wouldn't work afterwards. Had to return it. It's a shame because it worked great otherwise.

I have never used an anchor that attaches to the center pole, but I use plastic stakes that are meant for camping on sand. I have never had a problem through several years of ocean beach vacations. Stakes are very inexpensive. You can find them at any camping store.

R. I am not an expert on this but mine seems to fit ok. The poles are 12 ft so that the actual useable space is ten. I've never measured the width or length of the sheets. I just seem to have more than I need.

You don't need the foam for poles. Our disintegrated as well and never felt the need to replace them.

No. They fit the pole perfectly. And I have a liner on one side and curtain on the other. Neither have come off yet.

Hmmmm. Sadly never used these at the beach yet despite it being a staple of my party circuit. The stake is not that long but since the pole is light I would imagine it would still work. I could see gusty winds creating an issue though.

Absolutely. I spread my sheets over two sides instead of letting them bunch, and the towels I have no problems with. The lines are good and sturdy, just make sure your pole is well secured in the ground.

This is from my sister: You could, but they probably wouldn't fit very well... the bottom sheet would be way too big... the top sheet doesn't matter as much (the more you have, the more you tuck in.) I've tried to use waterbed sheets on a regular mattress and vise-versa, and it doesn't work well.

No, poles are meant for the outside of pool only. Awesome pool volleyball set!!! Very nice & sturdy!!!

No because there is a pole on both sides of the bed. Both poles actually bent after 2 months of use . We were quite disappointed in the bed. My 9 year old hardly got to use it . We would never recommend this bed to anyone !!

No they don't. I put them in my boat slip on Table Rock Lake. They stick out around 12" from the wall/pole.

I would suggest these be left under the mattress and you can use wooden clothespins to attach the ends to the fabric seam of the box spring. This way, when you change the fitted sheet you can just attach it without lifting the mattress. These work way too good at keeping the sheets stable to go with another brand.

No special type of sheets are needed. We use regular sheets and they work great.

the poles should always stay in place. One end is inserted into reinforced tent material, the other into a round piece of hardware that allows the unit to collapse/pop up. with proper handling the pole ends should give no problems.

Yes, I purched pads at Pier ! and they worked perfectly. however I must say they are comfortable without as well.
