$164.95
A solid-state 170-watt waterbed heater from Backer Heating Technologies of Sweden, built for 3.5" tube beds and 6" fill-depth softside mattresses. Its etched copper-foil pad spreads heat evenly while an integrated electronic thermostat holds the water within about one degree of your setting, so your bed stays comfortable night after night.
Best for 3.5" tube beds and 6" fill-depth softside waterbed mattresses (not for 8"-9" deep-fill beds).

A filled waterbed spreads its weight across the whole frame and deck, so a normal residential floor handles it fine. If you're on an upper floor or unsure, call us and we'll talk it through.
Softside beds set up much like a regular mattress; hardside beds fill inside the frame. We include setup guidance and our team walks you through fill, heat, and conditioning — we do it every week.
Yes — a heater keeps the bed at a comfortable temperature and conditioner protects the vinyl and keeps the water clear. See “Complete your system” below for the matched parts.
Softside looks and sits like a standard bed (foam rails, no exposed frame); hardside is the classic deep-fill feel in a wood frame. Read our waterbed guides or ask us which fits your room.
