Furniture Today’s David Perry: “the mattress is not nearly as sexy a part of the equation as drugs or sleep-disorder centers. It just kind of lies there.” For generations many consumers perceived the innerspring beds of the three dominant “S-brands” — Sealy, Serta and Simmons — to be interchangeable. A Gallup poll 10 years ago found that nearly half of Americans didn’t know what brand of mattress they slept on. The industry blamed itself, often ruthlessly.
Legends say that in the ancient times, royalty slept on beds made of goat skin and are filled with water. But In the 1800s, the water bed mattress was first used in aid of medicine. British Dr. Hooper saw that it had medicinal benefits which helped patients with arthritis or rheumatism. And then in 1960, Charles Hall from America, reinvented the waterbed mattress and called it the Pleasure Pit. The hippies loved it and waterbeds were usually associated with them. But his reinvention became the basis of how the bed is made today.

Mattresses come in different models, with varying degrees of firmness and softness. For some people, shopping for the the right mattress is like shopping for the right dress — it has to complement the contours of your body. You need to try several types in order to get one that feels right for you.
Now, this is really a different take on the “water bed”, where the water is not inside the mattress, as regular waterbeds usually are. When other people look for simple bed frames or really lavish ones to fit their mattresses into, I think this one rules them all, in terms of uniqueness.
I love the idea and concept behind this, but then again…I don’t see how anyone can climb onto the mattress, do you?
