Hmmm….
The lifespan of a water mattress is typically 10-15 years if taken care of properly, much more than that of your common spring mattress. You can ensure that you will keep your mattress for many years if you carry out proper maintenance. Here is a brief list of things you can do to make the next 15 years with your water mattress purchase trouble-free and oh-so comfortable.
I’ve emphasized on 10-15 years because I find that quite amusing. I know of a family who owns a waterbed mattress from the 70’s and they still sleep on it. Seriously. They must have been taking extra good care of it, I suppose.
If you’re a proud owner of a waterbed mattess (from the 70’s or in the more current era), take these maintenance tips from Waterbed.com:
Metal screw ends, brackets, and the like inside of your frame can wreak havoc on the vinyl casing of your water mattress, essentially causing undue wear and occasionally punctures. Because of this, you should simply use a thick layer of duct tape over any metal protrusions, or any noticeably rough spots of wood.
It is scientifically known that oil and salt over time break down the composition of vinyl. To keep your vinyl water mattress protected it is very important to keep a thick mattress pad on the mattress.
Another trick to keep the vinyl of your mattress in top condition is to periodically wipe down the entire surface with an approved water mattress cleaner/protectant. This should be done NO LESS than 3-4 times a year, or every 3-4 months. However, more frequent cleanings are recommended.
After your mattress’ installation, nothing more must be done with water (unless you plan on moving it) except for the addition of a specially formulated water conditioner once every six months. This will keep the interior of the vinyl mattress supple instead of becoming more rigid and brittle over time.
Pulling up and pushing down of the fill attachment on your mattress can often cause unnecessary wear and tear. Therefore, this should be known and the attachment should be left down in the bed at all times possible.
