Lines: 12 [] I have lived with a waterbed for about 13 years and for only about 2 of these did I have a waterbed heater. I would say that the main concern is that you have sufficient protection from the "cold" vinal. (as you may note, I live in the FROZEN north.) A waterbed heater is nice, but you can comfortably live without one.
