You heard right! Every 6 months you should treat the water in your waterbed with a special conditioner. This conditioner may come with the kit you get when you buy your bed; if not you can purchase some separately.
Waterbed is a bed or mattress filled with water. Waterbeds tend to sag under your body's heavier parts. Many people find waterbeds very comfortable and wont sleep on anything else. Just remember, before you buy one, sleep on someone else's to see if it is right for you.
Waterbed mattresses require very little maintenance. There are a few basic steps you can follow to
help lengthen the lifespan of your waterbed mattress: the periodic addition of
waterbed conditioner and proper water level maintenance.
Adding conditioner to your waterbed will help prevent the
water from becoming motionless. If you
fail to do this, the water will become stagnant and develop a pungent
smell. Failure to add conditioner will
also result in an accelerated deterioration of your waterbed mattress. Once every year and a half all you need to do
is add 8oz of specialized waterbed conditioner to the water inside your
mattress.
Maintaining a certain water level is an extremely crucial
part of waterbed care. Overfilling/under
filling your mattress can result in damage.
Too much water can cause the vinyl to stretch while too little water
could be damaging to the heater.
Unlike other mattresses, waterbed mattresses are much easier
to clean. Simply wipe down the surface
once a month with a vinyl cleaner and a damp cloth. This will clean off all dirt and dust mites
that have accumulated over the past month.

It is advised to
clean your waterbed mattress every month. You'll need to wash it more often if
the sheets become dump or soiled. It is also advised to disinfect the mattress
in order to give your bed a fresh scent.
Most of the
waterbeds designed in a way that the weight is spread equally on each point on
the flour by a special surface located just under the mattress therefore you
don't need any special preparations or reinforcements.
If you plan on doing this yourself, you should read over the
following article on smoothing out baffles.
If that doesn't help you may want to do a little more research.
