Abstract
In a method for determining depth when putting in place supporting elements into a waterbed, a pressure sensor fastenable to a supporting element or a device connected to the supporting element measures a water pressure, the reading is supplied by the pressure sensor and transmitted via signal lead to an evaluating unit which determines the penetration depth of the supporting element from the reading differences which occur during the sinking of the pressure sensor on penetration of the supporting element into the waterbed.
