Waterbed Mattress Installation Information

 This is the abbreviated version of waterbed mattress installation information. For a more in depth version of waterbed mattress installation, select "the Information" button above, and select "Installation and Filling" from there.

Unfold and unroll the mattress into the cavity of the cover or liner. Be sure the fill valve is located at the foot of the bed.

Pull the corners of the mattress into each corner. Smooth the mattress out as much as possible before filling. If this is not done properly it will be difficult to straighten when full of water.

Apply MaxiClean Mattress Cleaner and Protectant to keep the vinyl soft and supple.		 {Mattress partially installed pic}

Burp the mattress. Start at the head corners pushing down and smoothing the mattress so that you chase the air bubbles towards the fill spout. Open your Multi-Purpose Water Conditioner and pour into the mattress. Continue filling until the mattress is about level with the top of the frame.

Check for the correct level by sitting on the edge of the bed. The correct height is when your about 1" from bottoming out. You can gauge this by rocking back and forth, you will only touch light when rocking.

When your bed is filled this way you are much less apt to have heater problems. The #1 cause of heater problems is bottoming out from knees or elbows. This happens when you enter and exit the bed.
