What you need to know about Waterbed Moving

 Important Points:

  • Be sure to plan enough time for draining your waterbed before the movers arrive. Some less efficient methods may take several hours

  • Most moving companies require the customer (you) to remove water from waterbeds
  • All water should be removed prior to shipping
  • Water left in mattresses can cause several problems and make mattresses too heavy to move

Advice: If you plan on putting the bed in storage for a number of months, you should put fresh treatment in the mattress several days prior to draining. This will help keep the inside of the mattress from souring. How long a mattress can last in storage depends on how well it is put away and what the warehouse conditions are. There are several ways of removing the water.

Tube Style Mattress

  

With tube type waterbed mattress, you can simply pick it up and carry it to the sink, tub, or outside. Open the fill valve and let it drain while maneuvering the tube for best drainage.  
     
With full motion mattresses on the second floor you can let gravity do the work by running the hose down stairs.
