Sleeping on 4D comfort waterbeds |
Who invented the waterbed? The oldest
report on the use of waterbeds, dates back to over 3000 years ago. In those days, the Persians
slept on water containers made of goats leather. The first real development took place in 1851,
when the British physician Dr. William Hooper, who recognized the benefits of sleeping on a
pressureless waterbed surface, and deployed them for the treatment of certain medical problems. He
designed and patented a very simple water mattress in rubber.
In the late 60's Charles Hall refined this concept and created the PVC water mattress, thanks to the (in those days) modern materials and production techniques. At the beginning of the 90's last century, T.T.I. introduced the concept of the so called softside, the soft-edged bedboard. The typical American waterbeds were quickly driven off the market and replaced by higher quality European products. In 2005 a revolutionary step was taken in the waterbed evolution, thanks to the use of the 4D-PVC foil, which especially improves the lifespan and sleep comfort of water mattresses. For the first time since the 60's, real progress was made regarding the materials used. Charles Hall, Dr. Hooper and all their predecessors all used water, the most natural of materials as a support for our body. Water works just like an antigravity device. In this state of reduced pressure and apparent weightlessness, our body can relax even deeper. In this way we can strengthen the rejuvenating effect of a night's rest thanks to the deep sleep. That is, in a nutshell, what floating sleep on a waterbed means. |
