FAQs Corner Module Musical Waterbed
We often see wide foam edges around waterbeds. How much lying surface water do your waterbeds have?
Our waterbeds are softside. This means that they have a special system of foam edges, so that a water bed of 100 x 200 cm also has as good as 100 x 200 cm water surface! The comfort waterbeds have an extra foam edge next to the normal foam edges in the cover, so you can sit next to a client for example.
What is the difference between a stabilized and an unstabilized waterbed?
An unstabilized water bag contains only water, no obstacles for reduced wave effect. As a result, when you sit on it, the bed shakes quite a bit due to the water that is moved within the water bag without hindrance. In a stabilized waterbed, there is a cushioning layer, so that the water cannot move completely freely through the water bag. This way the biggest wave will be absorbed. The higher the stabilization, the less movement of water.
How warm does a waterbed get?
This depends on how high the thermostat is set, which is supplied with the heating element of the waterbed. The element can heat up to 40 degrees. Whether this temperature is reached depends of course on how cold or warm the ambient temperature of the room is.
Does a waterbed need maintenance?
Like any product with water, a waterbed also needs maintenance. A maintenance kit (60011955) for this is available. This consists of waterbed conditioner which keeps the water fresh and a vinylcleaner which keeps the plastic of the water bag flexible and smooth. Use this once a year to maintain your waterbed. This also makes it unnecessary to replace the water in the waterbed.
Can I put an extra fabric cover around the waterbed?
Yes you can. That makes the lying comfort even higher, because the bisonyl cover is very easy to clean, but does not feel very soft. Bisonyl does take over the heat from the environment, so it feels comfortable in that sense when the waterbed is warm. The dimensions are the same as normal mattresses (100, 140, 160 and 180 cm wide) so a fitted sheet fits perfectly around this. These are not available at Nenko.
What if I don't want a lift recess in the platform?
A lift recess is standard in our shelves. When the waterbed is placed against a wall, you can easily turn the platform, so that the lift recess is against the wall and the closed side at the front.
Do you always need a professional installation for a waterbed?
No, certainly not. If you are a bit handy yourself, you can certainly install the waterbed with platform yourself. There is a manual for the bed and there is also an installation video available, so you can easily install the bed yourself.
What is the added value of a musical waterbed compared to an ordinary waterbed?
With a musical waterbed, the bass of the music can be felt through the water. This allows you to enjoy the music tactile, which is very pleasant for, for example, deaf or hearing-impaired clients or people who are very tactile. The vibrations also give an extra secure feeling.
How can I clean the waterbed?
All bisonyl products can be cleaned with warm water and a mild soap (such as Andy or Ajax, etc.). Do not use aggressive cleaning products. Bisonyl cleaner is also available for more difficult stains.
Can I move a waterbed?
No, this is certainly not possible! A single waterbed soon contains 400 liters of water, which is roughly equivalent to 400 kg. this cannot be moved without completely draining the waterbed. Please note that this must be done carefully, because it can easily cause damage, especially with an aged waterbed. Only move a stabilized waterbed straight and flat over the entire length (do not roll, fold, etc.). So think carefully in advance where you want to place the waterbed.
We already have a musical waterbed, but we hardly feel the vibration of the music, how is this possible ?
Some (snoezel) music contains hardly bass tones, due to the type of instruments used. When music contains little or no bass, you will therefore feel little or no vibration in the water. It sometimes helps to increase the volume the speakers of the waterbed compared to the speakers in the room.
What is the consumption of this waterbed?
Energy requirement at 19°C room temperature: (usually cold season)
2.481 kWh/day
Energy requirement at 21°C room temperature: (usually annual average)
1.930 kWh/day
Energy requirement at 23°C room temperature: (usually warm season)
1.378 kWh/day
Why is the cover with the zipper on the inside delivered this way?
Nenko delivers the cover like this to prevent unnecessary damage.
Turn the cover inside out and ensure that the seams are well unfolded in the corners. Place the cover in such a way that it aligns nicely with the sides of the already placed plateau (optional).
Is a waterbed suitable for heavier individuals?
Yes, a waterbed is certainly suitable for heavier individuals. We recommend choosing a waterbed with a stabiliser, as it provides additional support. Suitable models are available under the item numbers: 12402002, 12404002 and 21250002.
Can I sleep on your waterbeds?
Snoozing or having a nap is of course no problem on our waterbeds, that is a joy experience, but these waterbeds are not made for regular sleeping. You should then have more stabilization in the bed (at least 90%).
