Waterbed transport in Lucerne

A waterbed needs a schedule of its own

Draining takes one to three hours depending on the size and the pump, and refilling at the new address takes about as long. On top of that, the bed needs several hours after filling before the water reaches room temperature.

So a waterbed is not a side item on moving day. We plan it as a separate step, ideally draining the day before and transporting and rebuilding on the day of the move.

What to watch out for

The mattress liner must not be creased; creases later turn into leaks. So we roll it instead of folding it and transport it separately from the frame and the base.

When refilling, conditioner belongs in the water; without it, algae and bacteria form inside. We point that out and bring it along on request.

The new position

A filled waterbed weighs between 400 and 700 kilograms depending on size, but spread over the whole sleeping surface, which is why it is unproblematic in ordinary flats. In very old timber beam ceilings a quick check is still worthwhile.

What matters is a level, stable base and a power point for the heater. We settle both beforehand, so that nothing is missing on the day.
