Enjoy your sleep with a waterbed

By Jennifer Dobbs

Ever thought of how it feels to sleep on water? Well, its time you tried the waterbed mattress that comes in a number of varieties in the market.

A waterbed mattress, like the name signifies is a mattress filled with water. A number of factors are to be considered before one chooses a type of mattress. A number of waterbed mattresses are available out in the market and we have to choose the one best suited for our needs.

Before going for a waterbed mattress, the main factors to be considered include the construction and firmness of the mattress. According to the construction, the waterbeds are of two types: soft sided and hard sided. Had sided waterbeds are those that come with a strong frame work like construction. Soft sided waterbeds are those without a frame but can be incorporated into existing frame works. These waterbeds come with special foam linings that prevent leaking of water.

According to the firmness, the waterbed mattresses are classified as: Free flow, Fiber fill and hydraulic mattresses. Free flow waterbeds are those with a single water compartment, the water inside flows freely and people may find it inconvenient to sleep in one because, the mattress shifts shape every time he/she turns or tosses.

Fiber filled waterbeds are those which have fiber reinforcements inside the mattress and these are filled with water. The more the number of fiber reinforcements, the firmer the mattress. They are suited for people who look for some support while sleeping.

The hydraulic waterbed mattresses are those with round vinyl coils filled inside the mattress. The round vinyl coils have small openings or ports though which water is filled. This is a recent development in the waterbed technology. These vinyl coils are tightly packed and this in turn makes the mattress firmer. These mattresses also tend to retain its shape even with unequal weight distribution. They are relatively expensive compared to the free flow type and the fiber type.

Whatever the mattress be, all that matters is a comfortable sleep. So, make the right choice in choosing a waterbed and make sure you get a sound sleep. - 20762
