Water Mattresses

There are two broad types of waterbed; one chamber or “free flow” and multi-chamber. The cheaper single chamber waterbeds will take a while to settle once disturbed. More expensive modern waterbeds employ technology that restricts the amount of movement to under 5%. Waterbeds will typically be heated with adjustable temperatures.

Advocates of the waterbed point to the natural support that the buoyancy of the water creates giving a natural and consistent support. Also the warmth of the mattress is said to have a positive effect on blood circulation and muscle relaxing.
