We have been married over 30 years and have always had a waterbed. About 7 years ago our Waterbed sprung a leak and we had trouble finding a replacement. We switched to a Traditional Mattress and during that 7 years we were miserable and replaced the mattress 3 times. Fast Forward to December 2021 when we found the Afloat website! We are now sleeping Happily Ever After! No more tossing and turning or waking up in discomfort! We needed a little help deciding which Afloat mattress would be best for us and we experienced great customer service! We purchased the Afloat Total dual King Eastern. Everyday my Husband says “I Love this Bed!" And so do I!

“So glad we chose the Afloat bed last year! It has been the best, most comfortable bed we’ve ever had. It’s great that it looks like a traditional mattress and takes regular sheets and bedding, too. In addition, I want to point out that even with a 100lb weight difference between us, there’s not much wave “rolling” from one side to the other. And finally, just like the vintage-inspired product itself, the Afloat customer service is the very best type of “old fashioned!” Just a wonderful experience all around! Definitely recommend to everyone! Thank you!”

“Pressure point pain caused by traditional mattresses is gone with Afloat. So comfortable. Recent week long ice storm was warm and cozy by turning up temperature on my side of the bed. Better than the one we had in the 80's.”

Only had my new Afloat bed for a few weeks so perhaps it’s a little early for a product review.
Michael G. and Kim R. were great to work with when ordering my California King. They answered all my questions and the bed arrived within the timeframe that was given to me for a west coast delivery. I had the bed assembled and filled and slept on it the day it arrived. I added a couple of gallons a night for a few days until it reached 150 gallons as I like a firmer waterbed than many may. I ordered a bed with a traditional foundation and have the heater set at 81 degrees. That might be colder than some people like theirs to be, but my body thermostat runs a little hot so I don’t need my bed to be as warm.
I have had a great sleep each night since I got the water amount and temperature to my liking. I’m glad I returned to sleeping on a waterbed again. Forgot what I was missing since I got rid of my old one years back. And my dog Lady Dogga loves it, too, once she got use to the water movement when she jumps up on the bed. She freaked the first time she did it, but now she loves it as much as I do.
Thanks & Happy Trails,
And many nights of great sleep and dreams to those who have ordered an Afloat bed.”

“We love our new bed! We both owned waterbeds in the past but have had a traditional mattress for the last 10 years. On that bed we were developing aches and pains in our back and shoulders. The first night we slept in our Afloat waterbed we noticed the difference. Every muscle felt supported and with the heated feature we could feel our bodies relax. We’re getting better sleep with 30% fewer spells of awakening, based on my FitBit sleep data, and I’m getting up in the morning with fewer aches and less stiffness. I repeat: We love our new bed! Thank you for the great product and support, and we wish you loads of success.”

“We are thoroughly enjoying our Afloat. We haven't slept this good in years. I am amazed at how I feel in the morning, completely pain free for the first time in nearly 20 years. We are more than happy to share our experience with everyone. We want all who experience chronic pain or insomnia to know there is a solution. Afloat is saving my life one night at a time!”

“The fact that I can crawl into a warm, heated, floating oasis at the end of the day makes me really look forward to bedtime. I love this bed!”

“I am so happy to have another waterbed! It's great to wake up with no neck or back pain. I don't toss and turn all night either. Wish I knew about your waterbeds years ago!”

“I have fibromyalgia and found that sleeping on a waterbed helped so much. We had the old style queen but it took up too much space and because it was a free flow the dog wouldn't get up on it. This bed is a king but it takes up less space, has plenty of storage underneath, feels just like the old style, and the dog loves it as much as we do. Great bed.”

“We added a memory foam topper and really enjoy the bed. While putting it together we discovered several quality control issues. These issues won't affect anything until we have to move the bed.”

“This bed has gone beyond my expectations - it is so comfortable I miss it dearly when away from home. These beds should be everywhere! I can keep it cool in the summer and warm in the winter, saving on running the air conditioner or heat all the time. It is so easy to set up and don't even worry about cleaning it - thats one of the biggest benefits - if something spills just unzip the cover, throw in the wash, and wipe the vinyl bed. There are no dust mites, etc - perfect for those with allergies. Also the Afloat customer service team is helpful, responsive, and professional - they truly do believe in their product and stand behind its quality. I could go on and on about how much I love this bed so to sum it up its the best bed I have ever owned and cannot imagine ever sleeping on anything else.”

“We’ve owned a waterbed for years and recently switched to the Afloat waterbed. We used a traditional mattress for a couple weeks waiting for our new bed to arrive and could already start feeling joint pain. Our new waterbed really conforms to our body and relieves our joint pressure. I think that people living in the northern states would really love the beds heated feature. There are few things better than rolling into a warm bed on those cold winter nights. We are very happy with our new bed and know it will last for a long time.”
-Dee B
“We love our bed! We experience a lot less tossing and turning, and sleep much better throughout the night. The only downside is the space under the mattress is small which makes it a little difficult to put on our fitted sheets but I do like being able to sit on the foam edge of the bed. I was unable to do this with our original bladder and frame. Overall we both enjoy the bed very much and are getting a better night’s sleep.”

“I have long suffered from chronic neck and back pain from a car accident and this mattress has been able to help me get a better night's sleep.”

“My husband and I purchased our Afloat waterbed in December 2019 after 20+ years with a traditional waterbed and we could not be happier with our Afloat! We opted for the dual king firm mattress and honestly, we don't know when each other moves. We are getting deeper, uninterrupted sleep every night! I used to have to take melatonin on occasion to help me sleep but not anymore! My back and neck problems are a thing of the past thanks to the Afloat mattress, firm foam covering and dual heating controls. I only wish we would have "taken the plunge" sooner!!”

“We LOVE our Afloat king bed. It’s so comfortable that I miss it terribly when I travel. Regular sheets fit and it looks just like a normal bed. The customer service is the best, 5 stars! We’ve only needed them when our questions were due to too many family members trying to be the boss. Get one, you won’t regret it!”
