Why Sleep on a Water bed?

Health benefits

Waterbeds have four medical advantages over any other sleeping surface. They are:

• No Pressure points
• Legs are elevated for best circulation
• Heat relaxes and heals muscles
• No dust mites

Create Support For Your Body

The waterbed mattress moulds to your own body shape and spreads your weight evenly. So with no pressure points you can sleep in one position for much longer periods, and you sleep more restfully.

Great Support For Bad Backs

Probably the most frequent reason for the purchase of a waterbed is to relieve back pain. Waterbeds support your body evenly; so great relief for pain can often be achieved. The therapeutic warmth is an added bonus.

Warm in Winter/Cool In Summer

Waterbeds are thermostatically controlled to maintain a constant temperature. Nothing is more relaxing than a warm bed on a cold winter’s night. And during summer, turn the heater down to keep you cool. Heaters cost less than an electric blanket to run.

Allergy Free

Dust mites are a well-known cause for allergies. Dead skin permeates foam or spring mattresses and provides food for dust mites. The vinyl water mattress is impervious to dust mites so allergy and asthma sufferers can sleep peacefully.
