The body is surrounded by water, creating an even connection with the water across the entire surface. This results in minimal pressure points, allowing the body to remain in deeper sleep stages for longer periods and to recover optimally. In a waterbed, you can choose either one large water mattress or two separate water mattresses. The water mattress is filled with tap water. The movement of the water can be reduced by the presence of stabilization material in the water mattress.



When purchasing a waterbed, you can choose the amount of stabilization material you want in your water mattress. The more stabilization material in the water mattress, the less motion there is. A fully stabilized water mattress has no motion at all.

Due to the neutral temperature of the water, the muscles are kept at a consistent temperature throughout the night, reducing the amount of work they have to do during sleep. The temperature of the waterbed feels pleasantly warm in winter and cool in summer.

When used correctly, a waterbed is the most hygienic sleep system in the world. Dust mites have virtually no chance of survival in a waterbed. A lightweight water mattress can even be placed on a slatted bed base or box spring.
