If your waterbed has suddenly gone cold and you are looking to replace the heater, perhaps it is best to understand what it is that you are dealing with. A waterbed heater is quite simply a low-wattage heat pad that is encased in a protective, insulating cover, and it is positioned beneath your waterbed mattress to provide heat to the water. The heater then has a cord that extends to the wall to power it. It has a built-in thermostat and temperature control so that you can set the temperature that you'd like to sleep on, and it regulates itself to maintain that temperature. Some heaters have a built in timer that will only regulate the temperature at preset times of the day, which allows you to save money on your electricity bill by not heating the water when you're not planning on using it!
It's best to set the waterbed temperature to be comfortably warm, near room or body temperature. However, during particularly warm or cool days, you may prefer to adjust the temperature appropriately so that you can get the best sleep possible. Having a warm waterbed on a snowy night is wonderful, and setting a cooler temperature during the summer can be extra soothing. Waterbeds can be very comfortable for people of all ages. They automatically adjust to the curvature of your body, and the warmth can promote healing of aches and pains. However, people who are prone to dizzy spells may want to check with a physician first before using a waterbed, and the waviness of the water may affect them.
