If you have never slept on a waterbed before
you are bound to have a few reservations or questions.
Here are a few questions we are asked on a regular basis.

Will
it be good for my back? Surely it's too soft?
A
waterbed gives the impression of being soft, but because
of its ability to contour to the shape of your body
it offers
total support without the pressure points associated with
hard sprung mattresses. Remember 80% of your body weight
is fluid. When you sleep on a waterbed your body supports
itself. Support, not hard pressure, is the answer to
most
back problems and with constant controllable warmth you
are providing your joints, muscles and back with therapy
while you sleep.
What
if it punctures? Won't it flood?
The water mattress is made of a very durable vinyl. Unless someone makes
a deliberate attempt to damage the bed with
a sharp instrument it is unlikely to rupture. However if
that was to happen the safety liner within the frame
would
contain any spillage. Any split in the mattress can then
be permanently repaired (normally without removing
the water)
with the patch kit provided.
Will
it make me seasick?
While some people find movement
in a waterbed relaxing, to others it has been the main
reason for dismissing the
idea. For years, Waterbeds Direct have been supplying mattresses
in our beds with no movement. This is achieved by putting
fibre layers inside the vinyl mattress. We can vary these
to suit your requirements, e.g. 2 layer, 4 layer, 6
layer
- the choice is yours.
Do
I have to have my floor reinforced?
Every waterbed has a pedestal base which distributes the weight evenly.
This means you actually exert more pressure
on your floor when having a bath! Waterbeds can be safely
accommodated in any type of house or flat, old or new.
Will
it cost a lot to heat?
Waterbeds Direct use an
exclusive digital heater controller with a LED display.
This is connected to a heater pad and
sensor situated underneath the safety liner. Although plugged
into the power supply permanently the thermostat controls
your bed temperature 24 hours a day costing approximately
50 pence a week.
What
will my waterbed look like?
Waterbeds come in
many shapes and sizes. Softside Waterbeds,
as the name suggests
are designed to flex on the edges, making it easier to
get in and out of bed, looking just like a conventional
divan
bed with the same headboard fittings. All
our
beds are available in a variety of sizes and we are confident
we have the bed to suit you and your lifestyle.
