General information on waterbeds

Do you realise that we spend a third of our lives in bed?

With this fact in mind it should come as no surprise that the standards we expect a good bed to meet are pretty high. The importance of good sleeping habits is often disregarded. The quality of sleep is closely connected to the quality of the mattress.

Since the beginning of time man has dreamed of escaping gravity. Wouldn't it be wonderful if, for once in a while, we could all be weightless? We can enjoy the feeling of weightlessness when we float on water, relaxed and carefree. The water allows us to drift.

The waterbed has come a long way in 3OOO years from the Persians original idea of sleeping on sun-warmed goat skin water bags. It was in the sixties that the comfort offered by a waterbed was rediscovered and has evolved to today's sophisticated flotation systems.

Nowadays this tried and tested sleep system is really taking off and many people are already enjoying the restful delights of a waterbed. In homes for the elderly and hospitals they have long been convinced of the medical advantages of waterbeds. Many doctors and osteopaths recommended sleeping on water for the relief of stress, rheumatism backache, painful muscles and numerous other complaints
