What do you have to do for a water bed?

Agreed must have a frame wether wood or soft sided a pedestal so bed is not on the floor. If you chose not to put a heater on then its like sleeping on a bed of ice cold water. Waterbed sheets are easier then "normal" mattress unless you want to have a size larger ie king for queen bed. A hose to fill and the chemicals that go inside to keep the plastic soft, yes I have had one crack while sleeping. The other attachments make life easier for filling. A pump makes emptying the bed easier, can be rented for 10-15 bucks a day from rental companies. If you choose a free-flow be expected to be tossed around every time your partner leaves the bed. A fiber fill reduces the movement depending on how much fiber is in it. Soft sided are nice can use normal sheets and isuch more like a typical bed

You need to put water bed conditioner into the mattress with your water. A heater, liner, frameand a hose to fill the waterbed. I have had a water bed for 40 years. I have never had a leak. I coat the mattress with lemon furniture polish when I change my non-waterbed Queen size sheets. Do not put sharp objects on or near the mattress.

That question is pretty broad and hard to answer. I've had waterbeds for 42 years. You have to have a frame, pad , heater, mattress, and waterbed sheets.

It requires a frame, heater, liner, you will need a hose to fill. I use two queen flat sheets instead of paying the high price for waterbed sheets.

I just put it into the base with the water. Make sure to clean and dry it well if not using for while. I used mine for a week, put it away for a month, and it stopped working when I brought it back out again. Good luck!

You are supposed to have an enclosure that they go in. Mine has an enclosure to put the rocks in and air pumps through it which disperses the chemicals through the water. They cannot be put in the water by themselves.

You need a mattress protector. The "mattress" covering is the same type of material that the sides of the bassinett are made of. You can't submerge it in water, only wipe it down.

Went with water and antifreeze. Easier and cheaper to fill with water and on the off chance you needed to take it out of the base, would be easier to drain the water than the sand.

I don't. The mattress is already waterproof. However, adding another layer such as a waterproof mattress would make a slightly cozier bed.

You can put a tarp or piece of plastic over it. You can also let water out and refill with warm water as needed

There are instructions, but basically just fill it up with wood and water, then let it run for a couple of hours

Read the directions that accompany it. Soak it in aquarium water for a few minutes, then attach air tubing from the vertical tube to the air pump. Use the suction cups to attach it to the inside of the aquarium. Turn on the air pump. Water will be drawn through the sponge, filtered and in contact with microorganisms which are in the sponge as supplied.

I don't know other than calling the company. We do not have a Waterboss anymore.

Open it up and let it thaw. put a towel in the bottom to soak up the water.

A full motion waterbed mattress is basically a large, tough water balloon. It has NO mattress padding. It is a little more difficult to get out of than a more traditional mattress. For $50, I think it's just great.

Hello Kay, Unfortunately the BedCane could not be properly installed on a water bed. It is made to slip between a mattress and box spring. It also has a strap that needs to go underneath the mattress to the other side and buckle. Another solution for you would be to look at our Security Pole and Curve Grab Bar and install it next to your water bed. This would give you a solid handle to help you enter or exit a bed. If you have any questions call us at 1-800-506-9901 or email me directly at kylej@stander.com.

You need something floating above the water. A dock, a boat... etc. If you sink with it you have to swim with it back to something that floats on its own.

Waterbeds don't have an exact weight restriction, but most suggest no more than 500 lbs. Thanks for asking ChaCha! (copied from a google search)

I doubt this would work very well on a water bed mattress, however you could ask the company who is very easy to work with
