Waterbed Treatment Solution

Health Benefits of a Waterbed

• Waterbeds are noted to be better for your overall health and well-being than a standard foam and springs mattress. This is because it supports your whole body uniformly when you sleep by molding to its exact shape. This also reduces the discomfort that is often caused when people with arthritis or back pain lie down on normal mattresses.

  Also, waterbeds don't absorb bacteria, dust and allergens as easily as normal mattresses do; and they are much easier to keep clean. Therefore, people with asthma or allergies aren't as affected when they sleep because the mattress neither stores nor releases allergens during the night.

Reasons for Treating

• Although nothing gets in and out of your waterbed, you still need to treat the water inside it regularly. This is because although the water doesn't come into contact with the outside after it is in the bed, microbes are already contained within the water. These microbes breed and, if given enough time, cause mold to grow on the inside of your mattress, and the water starts to smell funky.

  If mold forms on the inside of your waterbed, eventually the material that your bed is made out of will deteriorate and break. Therefore, to prolong the life of your waterbed, you should treat your waterbed with specialized waterbed conditioner treatment.

How and When to Treat

• You only need to treat the water inside your waterbed once a year and this process is fairly easy. The first thing you need to do is buy specialized waterbed conditioner treatment. This may sometimes come complimentary with the bed, but if not, you'll have to go out and buy it. This conditioner treatment treats both the water in your bed as well as the inner lining of your bed's bladder.

  Each treatment is fairly small so you can easily buy it over the Internet and get it sent in the post if it is cheaper and more convenient for you. You just need to treat the waterbed by pouring the conditioning treatment through the same aperture that you fill the mattress with water and you're done. Follow the instructions as to how much conditioner to add, but if you haven't treated your waterbed in more than a year, it is advisable to use a larger dose.
