Waterbeds are equipped with integrated heaters. On the one hand, this provides the necessary warmth. On the other hand, this heat ensures that perspiration evaporates. However, waterbeds also give off heat to the room through the integrated heaters. This is particularly the case when it is cool in the bedroom.
The Saarland consumer advice center advises consumers to measure how much electricity their waterbed uses with an electricity meter for a week in winter. If necessary, consumers can talk to their energy advisor about how to classify their electricity consumption.
The amount of electricity costs depends, among other things, on the type of heating, the size, the insulation and also the electricity price in the region. According to various sources, it can range from around 70 to 280 euros per year. If you would like to find out more about this topic, you can call the free nationwide hotline of the consumer advice center on 0800 809 802 400.
