Afloat Waterbed Comparison Chart

Science tells us that we require, on average 8 hours of sleep per night in order to maintain our mental and physical well-being. And we happen to believe that if you can spend that 8 hours sleeping on a king-size or queen-size waterbed mattress you’d feel even better! Which begs the question, why do waterbed mattresses make for the most restful kind of sleep? Basically, it has to do with the way the human body is constructed.

While our skeletons do a bang-up job of supporting our bodies, when it comes to sleeping on a traditional mattress they’re woefully lacking. As we all know, bones weren’t built to bend (let alone, break). So, when you lie down on a traditional mattress which, like us, is also built on a rigid frame, the only parts of your body that actually make full contact with the mattress are the joints and sharp angles of your skeleton, like your knees, elbows, hips, and shoulders. This is why, contrary to what traditional mattress manufacturers would have you believe, a traditional mattress simply can’t conform to your entire body. Ironically, the only medium that can completely adapt and fully support the human form is one that has no form at all, namely, water. No matter how soft and cushiony and luxurious a traditional mattress is, it can’t offer the kind of singular sleep experience that a waterbed mattress can. And that’s not marketing speaking, that’s science! If you want to buy a waterbed mattress, it helps to be informed about waterbeds. Because there’s a lot to consider. Do you want a Queen Size waterbed, a King Size waterbed, or a California King Size waterbed? What kind of waterbed supplies will you need? Can you put a waterbed together by yourself? How do you drain a waterbed? How much does a waterbed weigh? All good questions for which we can provide the answers. Because we don’t just manufacture and sell the best waterbeds to be found anywhere. We’re waterbed evangelists. We firmly believe in the power of sleeping on a waterbed. Part of that probably comes from the fact that Afloat Waterbeds was founded by the original inventor of the waterbed, Charles Hall. But, it mostly comes from satisfied customers who tell us that being able to achieve a level of restful, restorative sleep because they switched to one of our beds isn’t just a good thing—it’s a life-altering thing! From waterbed frames, waterbed heaters, and waterbed sheets, to waterbed drain kits, waterbed sizes, and waterbeds for sale, we at Afloat waterbeds are here to help bring your dream of owning a waterbed to reality.
