If you own a waterbed at home, you must be aware of some of these safety tips so that accidents don’t harm or hurt you and your family. These tips do not come in the manual, and it would really be very good to keep them in mind:

So, after the festivities have died down and holiday guests have gone back home, I’m pretty sure your body is going to need some rejuvenation. Take a moment for yourself, it’s me time now. And this is what the Relaxman Capsule encourages. It’s a product so unique, you step into it tired and weary, you come out re-energized. The key to this product is its heated water mattress, which sooths your nerves. Matched with preprogrammed relaxing music and light effects that put you in a deeper relaxed state, the Relaxman guarantees that you’ll feel stress moving away from your body.

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.

A Stretch Top waterbed mattress is constructed with diagonal stretch patterns so it is able to handle any body type better. The pressure points are evenly distributed, allowing for blood to properly circulate and for a person’s back and sensitive areas like shoulders and hip bones, to get the best comfort. Whatever your position on the bed is, the mattress will conform to your body.

A STRETCH-TOP System waterbed not only moulds completely to your body, it also fits into every type of interior design. Sleeping comfortably is also dependent on your bedroom décor. For complete relaxation, you need to feel at ease in your bed. Because your waterbed can be fully integrated in your personal interior and built into any bed frame, it will form a natural part of your bedroom.

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.

Designer Alberto Frias calls this creation as ”Transport”, an egg-shaped bed or an eye-shaped bed (depending on how you look at it) which is fitted with lights that synchronize to the music blasting from the built-in speakers. The sleeping pod holds a waterbed mattress, too. If escape and refuge is what you’re looking for, then this should give you that.

The may be purchased for $10,000 at the designer’s official website.
