Back in England after visiting our adjustable bed mechanism factory in Sandanski, Bulgaria.  Nice to get back to a warm waterbed. As you know waterbeds are temperature controlled, see our waterbed accessories for more details.

In business, if you make a catastrophic blunder, you will expect to lose your job and you would accept that. However British banks and government have cost the country billions of pounds only to be rewarded. Banks have been bailed out with tax payers money and thieving ministers let off with a slap on the wrist. The cost of this is to be recovered mainly by increased taxes.

It would be patriotic to stay loyal and remain 100% in England. But we are penalised for employing staff, face increased taxes, increased business rates, increased insurances. We now spend more time on administration than production of our adjustable bed mechanisms. We have made the decision to increase the production of our adjustable bed mechanisms in Bulgaria. Yes wages and overheads are lower, but in line with the cost of living. So we cannot be accused of exploitation. We will be better priced even than competition importing from China at the same time maintaining higher quality.

After repeating the same advice to our waterbed customers over the phone on how to look after their waterbeds, we have discovered a simple effective solution and are saving hours each week. For example when we are asked how to repair a leak in a waterbed we can simply go to the waterbed blog and email the information. So we are now looking to add more waterbed categories. If you have questions, and would like to see a full explaination relating to waterbeds, please reply through this waterbed blog.

Sir,
I saw your advert on the internet while searching for “Mattress Retainers” on Google. My Mother has recently bought an adjustable single bed from a high street retailer and, although it has a retainer at the foot, I felt that it really needed at least one at the side to stop the necessarily slippery mattress from sliding sideways on the adjustable bed base,when you first sit on it: it seems quite dangerous for my elderly Father. The Mattress Side Retaining Bars shown on your site look ideal for what I want, although I suspect that an industry standard mechanism (18mm wood) has been used: would this preclude their use? Regards,

Hi Customers name removed
They will still fit all adjustable beds with a wooden slatted mechanism because we use two small screws to secure them.
They are £5 each + £6 next day carrier + VAT, Total £30.55
If you would like to order, please email your name, address and phone
number. Then call 023 9287 3444 after 10am to make a card payment.
This is the price for one set. Please confirm if it is one or two adjustable beds? Thanks John

Hi John,

Thanks for the info about the adjustable beds. Just a few questions before I proceed-
Which piece of wood on the adjustable bed base is the securing screw screwed into?
Are there any projections on the under side which locate it laterally on the adjustable bed slats?

Noting that a ‘set’ comprises 4 units, at which points along the side do you recommend that they are affixed?
In readiness for a sale here are my details:- Customer details removed

Hi Customers name removed

There are 2 pre-drilled countersunk holes, so the small screws supplied screw into the adjustable bed slats which you will notice, are in pairs.

There are hooks on each side which wrap around the slats, Just squeeze the slats together. See Photo attached

Like I said, the slats will be in pairs, so choose a pair in the shoulder area and the pair just below the knee break. One on each side. please see 2^nd photo attached showing the location on the length of the adjustable bed mechanism.

Thanks John
