Hmmm….

The lifespan of a water mattress is typically 10-15 years if taken care of properly, much more than that of your common spring mattress. You can ensure that you will keep your mattress for many years if you carry out proper maintenance. Here is a brief list of things you can do to make the next 15 years with your water mattress purchase trouble-free and oh-so comfortable.

I’ve emphasized on 10-15 years because I find that quite amusing. I know of a family who owns a waterbed mattress from the 70’s and they still sleep on it. Seriously. They must have been taking extra good care of it, I suppose.

Royal Caribbean, the world renowned cruise ship, has recently embarked on a bedding project that involved a complete bed make-over. Bed frames and mattresses were replaced, to prevent sagging and continue to keep guests relaxed and comfortable.The cruise ship now offers nine-inch thick mattress with 220 thread count cotton sheets and micro fiber pillow tops. Twin bed frames may either remain separated or pushed together to form one queen size frame, and custom designed mattress toppers create a gap-free bedding solution.

This bedding project took effect May 2007, while a few more ships are under construction.

Real Simple votes this waterproof mattress pad from Garnet Hill as the best one. For $75 the mattress pad is a practical solution to worrying about bed stains or soiling. They swear by its comfortability, too.

Why We Like It
It’s practical. You can have breakfast in bed or sleep with your pets or kids without worrying about an accident. It’s also luxurious. You won’t hear a lot of crinkly noises when you turn over, because a cotton-percale layer quiets the polyurethane backing. Everyone in the family will be able to use this machine-washable pad, which is available in sizes from crib to college-dorm twin extra-long to king (it fits a 16-inch-thick mattress). The skirt is snug-fitting and stays put, which makes it safer for babies and less irritating for adults.

Covered in soft microsuede velvet fabric, this Aerobed from AFW Direct is made up of three layers that help keep it durable and much more long-lasting that any other product. Its 9″ thick mattress is puncture-resistant, made of heavy-duty but non-allergenic PVC vinyl. It comes with a hand-held control that allows you to set the bed’s firmness or softness. With its easy to use pump, inflation and deflation takes 60 seconds at best. AeroBed can be fitted with regular sized sheets. It also comes with a bag, for easy storage.
