HELP FIGHT FAKE REVIEWS
Generally strategic false information has significant power to disrupt public opinion. Disinformation campaigns can be orchestrated by companies who have commercial goals.
Therefore understanding and addressing these hidden attitudes need to be FACT-CHECKED.
Misinformation can be "sticky"', meaning that corrections do not nullify belief in the original misinformation.

CASE STUDY
Customer Details with held:
Soft sided waterbed bladder with layers and reinforced corners. Arrived and found a seam leak starting with some water in the liner. Again there was NO YEAR DATE on the left hand side. There was NO WARRANTY CARD. The supplier could not be contacted.
From customer GUESSWORK note Guesswork the bladder was about 18 months old. Into the 5 years. Repairs had to be conducted.
FIBER SHIFT
In this short time the fiber has shifted to the level that one side was very very firm and the other side was nothing but water.
The customer in question LOVES WATERBEDS but is preparing to get rid of the water bed in due course, sad to say, or when moving away.
No written warranty card and no written warranty card on the website to see.
NOW WHAT??
This is a problem for those who have been in the waterbed industry to keep people comfortable. With vague details on the waterbed mattress label where one stands ...
THE MATTER SEEMS TO BE
NOW
SUBMITTED TO..
THE OFFICE of FAIR TRADING QUEENSLAND for FURTHER investigation - EVALUATION
to create a standard in the waterbed industry.
NOTE:
A CLAIM OF GIVING A DISCOUNT IF YOU FIND A CHEAPER PRICE FOR THE SAME PRODUCT. IS THIS DECEPTIVE ?
There is no other product that is " ... exactly same product.
( ... a Bicycle to a motorbike ... "
( Readily believed by targeted audiences, persuasive claims to be the best need to be challenged by ringing around. The overwhelming claims by some undermines trust in the true blue professional waterbed companies. Selective partial information that amount to " ALL OUT LIES " by deception hurt the true quiet achievers in the waterbed industry around Australia, who truly believe in the quality of waterbeds. By visiting a showrooms in Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane for example there is a lot more to offer. There is one who knocks aggressively on their website. But behind the scene the true waterbed professionals work together as a team across Australia )
GENUINE REVIEWS SHOULD POSITIVE or NEGATIVE SHOULD BE CONSTRUCTIVE and ACCURATE
Creating awareness
Your sleep may depend on it?
...
We are just tired of repairing reinforced seams in products not our own...
There are many across Australia who are not associated with Mr Waterbeds Gold Coast in any way.
The Introduction of T.E.P. ( Total Effective Performance )
Apart from Quality, LAYERS come in different weights like 300gr - 500gr - 520gr and our 1000gr per layer
Generally T. E. P. is the addition of the layers into a
common denominator.
Let's assume that there are for example two different quantities of bottled water 300ml bottle and a 500ml bottle.
You send someone down to the local store.
The 'Someone" selects the "5 bottles" you requested
The price looks good but the quantity is very different.
5 bottles x 300ml = 1500
5 bottles x 500ml = 2500
-- YOU STILL HAVE 5 BOTTLES --
That is the same when it comes to baffle layers in waterbeds
A 5 layer x 300gr = 1500 (T.E.P.) = 3 layer x 500gr
( Performance would be the same )
As you can see from above comparison that the wave reduction is the same. Silly as it seems a 5 layer of a lighter weight baffle is the same as 3 of another. So what are you getting?

Many new waterbed bladders carry a 5 year warranty.
But what about the internal support system, the baffles, the layers, are they covered?
If the inner fiber is tangled or bunched up
This can void all warranty
Waterbed bladder replacements that are considered wave reducing have failed months from installation
The breakdown of faulty baffles could be wide spread in Australia
This site is constructed to make customers and potential customers aware that this can happen.
Find compare and contrast
Overwhelming product advertising claims
to suppress others
With online products you could be in the dark.
The images here are examples of what to look for
if you suspect support issues are not quite right.
It has been known that in quite a few cheap imported brands. that in 6 months from a new installation are subject to FiberShift resulting in fiber damage and sleeping issues causing customer stress
INTERNAL SUPPORT should last over 6 up to 10 yrs
Pump outs Expose Waterbed Comfort Layers
that have 3 and 5 year warranties have massive faults
and shipped all over Australia Wide Alert
Should the A.C.C.C. be involved
These waterbed mattresses are claimed to be direct from
The Manufacturer ( from overseas ?? ) their own brand
Questions that need to be clarified
In a 5yr warranty who pays to return to sender?
Some one was charged over $70 to pack and send a replacement
If some one cannot empty a waterbed bladder
How much is this going to cost $$$ the consumer
although the bladder itself is under warranty
As per below...
It has been found that baffles have collapsed
with in 1 year of installation into the 5yr warranty
Support is compromised - back pain ?
These products are distributed Australia Wide
ASK?
Are the feed backs of 5 stars genuine or orchestrated?
Australian Made Waterbeds with how much Imported products ?
Are these products reliable
or should they be Reported...?
Just to many end up in one corner..
Genuine products with support should last over 5 years
This site is to create awareness..
There are many waterbed businesses across Australia who too are not associated with ..
Mr Waterbeds Gold Coast
Some are tired to look behind our backs.
Some want to offer a level playing field.
Many businesses have moved away from reinforced corners and seams and moved on to better suited products and some have a 7yr warranty on waterbed bladders. Not a 5 year warranty
Setting the record straight
There are some who knock waterbed businesses
who have showrooms and offer quality.
But if companies name
" Not associated with .... and names these businesses then you as a potential consumer need to look at..
Why are they doing this ?
Any business who openly knocks another
needs to look at themselves, perhaps ??
What are they hiding ?? to do this
As far as we are concerned we just cut the bickering and concentrate on our own waterbed businesses
Many customers have moved away from waterbeds
as the result of quality bickering and failures.
We have said to those who like budget products,
go back to where you got them originally ..
If you like the products see them..
We are NOT INTERESTED in competing ...
If theirs do not work see some one else ..
We have a enough of our own without others

New text element
Under Consumer Law - Waterbed mattresses with questionable quality are being sold Australia Wide.
Advertising making false claims and misleading impressions can amount to ......
If a business misleads the A.C.C.C. can investigate and compliance and enforcement action
Have found many of these issues where internal filling baffles breaking up months after use can
compromise support. It can be easily assumed to be Australia Wide
If any one in who has purchased on line a particular brand of waterbed bladder claiming 5yr warranty Australia
To assemble and send on ready made products and Ship Australia Wide and get positive reviews
is easy task akin to ( a order assembler ) Its so easy to get good reviews as a order assembler
Then to knock competitors in their manufacturing methods creating misleading information. These
competitors don't want to get involved in the "orchestrate reviews game".
They just want to get on with the the job of customer care rather bickering. But there are times
Enough is Enough. We are all in this together
As there are no other brands the statement " Genuine Brand " and "price matching" cannot apply....
There is a lack of clarity in the 5yr warranty. One of our (now) customers ended paying over $70 to get a
replacement sent. The 5 year warranty card never seen?. Year dates on tag never seen? The massive
increase with imported bladder products failing within six months to a few years increasing. Going to
alternative non waterbeds and then after trying a non waterbed come to us with their stories.
Something need to be said to create awareness to manipulated disinformation that can hurt the consumer.
An other of our (now) customers made a claim that when purchasing a waterbed bladder 6 years ago the baffle
support system collapsed in about 6 months. Then 3 years after he purchased another on the word of
( improved baffles ) and the same happened. Then came to us ...
To claim 5 stars can be false and misleading as it is orchestrated to subdue other businesses in competition
affecting their sales.
To claim and misrepresent products from other businesses
A possible conspiracy to dominate with others to subdue is also questionable should soon submitted for
investigation
In a very misleading statement when purchasing online ... Clearly when a product is made overseas can be
likened to fr..... The site is QUOTING .....
" All our Products have been made locally in Australia with high quality material and ..... "
Where Ever Possible if in doubt when setting up a waterbed - Ask a professional - There can be simple solution a phone call away - This was installed over 20yrs ago in a king timber frame waterbed - No fault of the manufacturer but a lot of these creases could have been averted - A simple call could have sorted this out - There was a compromise to comfort due to improper installation.
There are quite a variety of products in any industry. Go to a proper showroom with proper on the floor display to (1) See (2) Feel (3) Experience and lay on these beds. Everyone is different.
If you had to return a waterbed bladder to the supplier stating a 5yr warranty.. How would you return it?
* Your cost? * Charged for a post out? * Spend a fortune to get it repaired? * Did you ever get that never seen warranty card on conditions? * True many have details marked - BUT NOT THE YEAR - Was it 4 or 5yrs ago - As the year was not marked customer are confused ...
WHEN FILLED THE FIBER NEEDS TO FLOAT
( as per image above ) TO HAVE EFFECTIVE SUPPORT
IF THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN?
(1) Tangled and/or bunched up - in a corner
(2) Sits on the bottom - has little support if any
NOTE: That the thinner baffle layers were originally produced to increase sales . By selling a cheaper 5 layer for example having less support is still a 5 layer. Save $'s but at a cost.
Many are waking up with our TEP comparison on our
other sites and complemented us for making them realize
That baffle/layers come in different sizes..
Many too have gone out of waterbeds due to lack
of quality products. This too is a fault of customers chasing
and wanting the best for the least dollars.
This also opened a door for Cheap Budget Imports
being sold Australia Wide under the guise....
WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW WILL NOT HURT THEM
There are a few who hold to true values and not being compromised by budget products. This site is to create awareness. If you don't want budget products that do
not last then there a few of the old school who
are based in the Capital Cities who hold the value
of QUALITY and LONGEVITY in waterbeds.
So if some one screams out.
5 year warranty.
Are the baffles inside covered in the warranty
FiberShift - Bunched up in one corner
Below on the left is the baffle layer we introduced over
15 years ago. Being locally made the manufacturers rating
is 1000gram per square meter and a fiber height of 60mm and has stood the test of time. By combining a few of the standard polyester layers into one, this strengthens the
layers longevity and rarely fails. Remember it is sum of
all the baffle layers that really counts not so much quantity.
The most common is the 2 x 1000 Dacron = 2000
COMPARE
2 layer x 1000 gr = 2000 (T.E.P.) = 4 layer x 500 gr
2 layer x 1000 gr = 2000 (T.E.P.) = 7 layer x 300 gr
" The 1000gr Dacron Outlasts" by Farrrrr....
Illustration - Demo on real fiber layers
WHEN CONVERTING FROM THE DIFFERENT LAYER Weights ( grams per square meter )
This is a approximation when converting from one to another
300 grams layer ( Polyester ) -------- 500 gram layer ( Polyester )
---- 1000 gram layer ( Dacron 1000 gram and 500 gram )
TEP 600 = 300 x 2
TEP 900 = 300 x 3 or 500 x 2 or 500 (Dacron) x 2
TEP 1200 = 300 x 4
TEP 1500 = 300 x 5 or 500 x 3 or 1000 (Dacron) + 500 (Dacron)
TEP 2000 = 500 x 4 or 1000 (Dacron) x 2
TEP 2500 = 500 x 5 or 1000 (Dacron) x 2 + 500 (Dacron)
TEP 3000 = 1000 (Dacron) x 3
ABOUT US
Over the decades thin 300gr polyester layers and now some of the 500gr polyester layers have failed in supporting actions.
After 4 to 5 years baffles tend to break up and sit in one corner. We have gone out and found many wave reducing mattresses do not perform. With servicing it has been found with some brands a 4 layer lasted only 3 months from installation. Many are sold on price and failure of the support inside the mattress is not covered under warranty. Only the bladder skin or envelope is covered then only the seams. Then you need to ask if the support system fails what happens then.....
We too have our own brand. Our brand has been baffle tested over a few decades. We went to a customer who was moving interstate and needed the waterbed bladder drained.
We found out that the level 3 wave reduction system was fully intact AFTER 14 Years. That is quality at its best. There are some waterbed distribution companies that send 3 layer, 4 layer and 5 layer king and queen waterbed mattresses Australia Wide. This site is created to make waterbed customers aware of what is going on.
IMAGES on this site are there to evaluate if your support system has failed.
