Waterbed Health benefits...

Unlike a conventional sprung mattress, which relies heavily on pressure to give support (which was a wonderful idea in the nineteenth century when it was invented), a waterbed supports your body totally without the pressure points. When a bed ridden patient develops bedsores due to lying on a conventional mattress a water mattress is used to relieve the pressure and help circulation to contribute to the healing of sores.

What has this got to do with normal sleep patterns or people who are not bed-ridden?

When sleeping you will turn 20 to 80 times a night due to pressure and restriction circulation if you don't move frequently pins and needles or numbness occurs in the limbs. When sleeping in a waterbed there is no circulation restriction, no numbness, very little body movement and obviously a deeper more restful sleep ideal for light sleepers, insomniacs or people who just want a good nights sleep.

Water MattressIt's a fact

30% of all people suffer from some sort of sleep disturbance. In your ordinary bed, you will change position about 60 times a night to relieve pressure points and help restore your blood circulation. A waterbed supports the total weight of the body and helps to minimise these pressures and the need to toss and turn all night.

Conventional MattressPressure Points

Medical studies have shown that even distribution of body weight, as on a waterbed, benefits everybody, young and old alike. Your conventional mattress creates "pressure points" on any areas of greater weight concentration. The water mattress conforms to the exact shape of your body, providing total support and eliminating uncomfortable "pressure points".

Arthritis and rheumatism

All our waterbeds come with a temperature controller precise to one tenth of a degree so not only do you have perfect support but warmth in the winter to ease and relax tired muscles and help to reduce swollen joints perfect for easing most types of back pain and ideal for arthritis and rheumatism sufferers. Remember it can take 2 to 18 minutes to warm a bed up with body heat a waterbed has a 24 hour temperature control and only approximately 50p a week on your electric bill. Waterbeds can also be cooled down for hot sticky summer nights so you wake in the morning refreshed not in the night to hot.

Dust MiteWaterbeds - The hygienic solution

Our old relic the sprung mattress is a haven for dust bed mites, dead skin hair and body fluids. Tests have shown that even with regular vacuuming a seven years old sprung mattress is 5lbs heavier than a new one. Compare this to a waterbed strip of bedding and mattress cover wash at 60 degrees, wipe down the vinyl mattress replace the cover and bedding and you have a totally hygienic sleep surface time after time ideal for asthma and allergy sufferers when it comes down to healthy sleep you cant beat a waterbed.

Relaxing sleep

Insomnia is not a problem with a waterbed, because you feel comfortable and soothed by the warm water you will go to sleep faster and sleep longer. You will awake feeling more relaxed, stronger and brighter - mentally and physically ready to tackle the day.
