Sleeping on 4D comfort waterbeds |
How long does a 4D-Comfort mattress last for?In laboratory conditions water mattresses were tested for the equivalent of 20 years and a lot of the first waterbeds are still being used every day. Most waterbed manufacturers guarantee a minimum lifespan of 5 years. The real lifespan is a lot longer and strongly depends on the way you treat your waterbed. Of course the type of vinyl and the quality of the production techniques also play an important role.The foam boarder can also be susceptible to wear. That's why you should better choose for a system in which the foam borders can be replaced separately, without having to dismantle the bed.  The vinyl
of a water mattress ages slowly but constantly, even when it is not used. That's why it is
important to choose a 4D-Comfort water mattress which is only produced after you order it and
hasn't been lying somewhere in stock for months or years, like many imported mattresses.
The 4D-waterbed foil (4D-Vinyl) which was introduced in 2005, was extensively tested in cooperation with international academic labs. The tests especially showed the resistance in local flexibility, simulating the real life of a waterbed. 4D-Vinyl Foil scores 12 times as high in these tests than ordinary waterbed foils. 4D-Vinyl was specifically designed for long term use in contact with water. Besides quality when welding this material is better than classical water mattresses. The 4D-Vinyl is only used by Europe's top brands Thermally welded synthetic fibres, floating inside the water container on a flotation layer, are used to stabilize the 4D-System. Only top quality fibres are used for the 4D-System. Under normal conditions, these fibres should last a very long time Water is the supporting part of the water mattress and doesn't wear out. The comfort and supportive features don't change throughout the years, unlike the characteristics of the traditional mattresses. |
