The waterbed was invented with a single goal in mind: to help people get a healthier night’s sleep. “I was trying to make a better sleep experience,” says  Charles Hall, inventor of the waterbed and Afloat co-founder. The original concept was simple — the weightlessness you feel floating on water can contribute to overall health and well-being.

Newly reimagined with 21st-century technology and materials, the new Afloat waterbed delivers the unique pressure-relieving comfort of water with even more health benefits to bring you your best sleep yet.

You’ve probably experienced sleepless nights where you were either too hot or too cold.

But those fluctuations in temperature don’t have to control your sleep life. Water can help naturally regulate your body temperature. Afloat temperature controlled beds maximize temperature flow between you and the water within to bring you a personalized, just-right sleep environment. As an added bonus, Afloat offers digital temperature control. So, when you’re hot or cold, you can quickly and easily find the perfect temperature for you.

The Ultimate in Pressure Relief

Do you have back problems, muscle soreness, or trouble finding your just-right sleep position? Nothing contours and supports like water. The Afloat waterbed reduces the concentration of pressure that builds up on your muscles and bones, helping you drift off to sleep and stay asleep. That’s because our flotation mattress moves as you move. The water changes shape with you and conforms to your body for that all-night sweet spot. That means fewer interruptions to emotionally restorative REM sleep and physically rejuvenating Delta sleep, which all add up to a happier, healthier you.

The Healthiest Sleep

A hypo-allergenic mattress — yes, you read that right! The  Afloat modern waterbed is the most hypo-allergenic mattress you can own. Dust mites and bed bugs love traditional mattress materials. “If you weigh a regular mattress after it’s been used for a few years, it will be heavier than when you bought it,” says Charles Hall. “That’s because it will be filled with your sweat and skin cells, and the dust mites and bedbugs that feed on them.”

But our new flotation mattress is covered by two layers of protection. An easy-to-clean, Impermeable Liner prevents allergens from moving into the mattress interior. And our Stretch-Knit Top Cover is easily removed and 100% machine washable. That means when you buy an Afloat waterbed, you aren’t just buying a new mattress, you’re buying clean and healthy sleep for years to come.
