WHAT HAPPENS IF IT LEAKS?
Waterbed mattresses are extremely tough, and are most unlikely
to puncture in almost any circumstances, unless attacked directly
with a very sharp or very pointed instrument. If this did happen
however, the water would be contained within the bed by a separate
outer waterproof layer that is part of the bed, preventing any
leakage onto the floor.
DO I
NEED MY BEDROOM FLOOR REINFORCED TO TAKE THE WEIGHT?
No' Waterbeds have a specially designed base that spreads the
weight of the bed evenly across the floor. In any case, a waterbed
weighs no more than about five people. We have installed more
than three thousand waterbeds in all types of homes, and have
never had any problems with weight.
WILL
A WATERBED MAKE ME SEASICK?
The motion of a waterbed is very relaxing and after a little
time getting used to a new feeling, virtually everyone enjoys
it. The motion is less than most people expect, and we've never
known anyone be seasick. (We only use tap water, not salt water!).
Waterbed mattresses are available with no movement whatsoever
if required.
DO I
NEED AN ELECTRIC BLANKET?
All our waterbeds are temperature controlled, so in winter you
can keep them hot, but in the summer, on the few hot nights
we get in this country, the controller can be turned down to
give you a cool bed. Wonderful
WILL
IT BE GOOD FOR MY BACK?
Absolutely - eight hours of therapy every night - see the backache
report, by a qualified physiotherapist, overleaf.
HOW MUCH
DOES IT COST TO RUN?
Not a lot! The heater costs about £15 annually, given
use at average temperatures, and a bottle of water conditioner,
which keeps the water fresh, is added once a year, and costs
about £10 a bottle. Total yearly costs are about £25
or about 50p a week.
HOW LONG
DOES IT TAKE TO INSTALL?
About ninety minutes usually, but rarely more than two hours.
All you have to do is show our installer where you want the
bed, provide a plug point and a source of water, and he'll do
everything else, including spending time advising you and answering
any questions you may have.
HOW LONG
DOES IT TAKE TO GET USED TO IT?
Usually only one or two nights. Once you are used to it however,
you will never want to go back to an ordinary bed. Every single
person we know with a waterbed tells us this!
I SUFFER
WITH ASTHMA - WILL A WATERBED HELP?
All waterbeds sold by us have a removable, washable top. Underneath
this is the water mattress, which can also be cleaned. A porous
spring mattress, which is used in ordinary beds, is an ideal
breeding space for dust mites which feed on hair and tiny flakes
of skin. It is the dust mite that most asthmatics are allergic
to, and replacing the spring mattress with a water mattress,
which dust mites cannot breed in, provides relief to most people
with breathing problems.
WILL
A WATERBED HELP ME SLEEP?
A waterbed works by distributing body weight evenly over the
body area in contact with the bed. This eliminates pressure
points, and so on a waterbed, you do not toss and turn in your
sleep. This allows much deeper sleep, and you awake more rested.
Please don't hesitate to write or call with any questions or
problems, as we're always glad to help.
