The history of waterbeds

People fell hard for waterbeds when the aqua-filled bedding was introduced half a century ago, but waterbed sales have tanked since their high-point in the 1980s, when about one in every five beds sold in America was a waterbed. Luke Burbank interviews Charlie Hall, the original's inventor, who has introduced a "new and improved" version of the water-filled mattress, the Afloat.

*Every 2000s kid dreamed of having a water bed*

@Patrick.Weightman 5 жыл бұрын

I certainly did. When I was 10 I convinced my parents (with much ease) to let me get one. I'm in my 20s now and still use the same mattress. Her claim of less aches and pains is an understatement; I have woken up sore only a handful of times in that period and it has always been a result of a too low water level. Hands down best investment ever made. To sleep on a normal bed now not only feels weird and foreign, but downright uncomfortable. It doesn't conform, and it's not nearly as warm.

I had an 80s water bed. I noticed it was getting cold at night and my mom said we needed a new heating pad/element so we drained it and discovered a black burn mark in the wood and the waterbed plastic had also melted a bit. My mom completely freaked out and that was the end of that! But it was nice as I recall other than the heating element failure at the end.

The thing with water beds in environments colder than Florida or Southern California in the summer is: you have to heat up the water, or else you'll freeze all night because it's you warming up all that water in your sleep. And this means that prior to sleeping, a lot of water needs to be heated up. And this means that you're spending a whole lot of electricity because you're warming up a giant bladder of water all day.

@CRAZYHORSE19682003 Жыл бұрын

False, while it is true you have to heat the bed, water holds heat exceptionally well. You also had the sheets and covers to provide insulation. I had one and in the winter I would open the windows in my bedroom and turn up the heat on the water bed and I would be so comfortable. Best sleep I ever got.

I’ve had four waterbeds - and nothing else since 1976. I did buy a memory foam mattress, but - I hated it. My body can’t really sleep on a conventional mattress because I no longer know to toss and turn at night to relieve pressure points. As a consequence, I would awake with pains or numbness because I didn’t move at night. So, I can’t sleep on anything else except a waterbed. I usually sleep in the same position all through the night. Note. In 42 years, people go through more than 4 beds in life. Waterbeds last a lot longer than spring/foam mattresses. Also, there’s the benefits of heated water.

Yeah, super dangerous with an infant. I would nurse in the early mornings, but had to put my daughter at a distance from me if we both went back to sleep. I knew it wasn't safe. Also, it help with my morning sickness and getting in and out of it towards the end of my pregnancy was a challenge to say the least.

I love my California King. Only had it for 4 months; have wanted one for about 30 years. Best thing I ever bought.. Oh, and you don’t get on it. You get IN it!☺️

I had one, loved it, but moving them were a pain and running hoses through the house was a hassle, that was probably the decline.

The last waterbed I had was the traditional type. I liked it, but it had a problem. The heater control device kept failing. It cost 40-50 bucks to replace each time. I took it apart after it quit working, it had a circuit board with ic’s and transistors ect. Back it the 1980’s I had a bed that had a much less sophisticated controller, never gave me any trouble. The industry does themselves a great disservice by selling poorly made equipment, I’d still consider buying another WB, but I don’t trust the electrical part of it.

They mentioned cats on the waterbed. I hope the blankets are plenty thick!

No problem--you just need a mattress pad, sheets and a blanket. Kitty nails will never get through all that.

I remember waterbed city commercials!!😂😂 Had the bladder one, busted up in the hurricane. Got one in the 90s with the really thick motionless interior and it came in a zip around mattress with the reinforced foam sides and built in heater. Only felt bad when it was low from evaporation. “Afloat” isn’t really anything new.

I've been sleeping on waters beds my whole life. They are the best way to sleep. In the winter you turn the heat up an you have a nice warm bed to crash out in. In the summer you can turn the heat down an have a cool bed. You can make the bed soft or firm by having less or more water.

I am glad they are updating it,. The original was the worst for my insomnia, also as temperature drops it got colder while living in Central Florida. Also my past roommate had one & the wood frame was too heavy & to move was a nightmare like emptying & filling back a pool.

My dad bought a waterbed in 1988 I remember seeing my dad build the wood frame with a hammer and nails! I thought it was the coolest bed on earth!!!

American standard made a series of waterbed hybrids back in the 90's. The nautilus was the best of both worlds 😍❤️👍😊. I never got to own one. But I laid in all that they had in the showroom. And the moment I closed my eyes on the nautilus. I was out for 3 or 4 minutes 😳😍👍..

Exactly! I had regular Waterbeds years ago in the 20th Century and I went to sleep immediately. Nowadays I am sleeping uncomfortably on a regular nice quality Mattress.
