A great amount of research has been expended over the last ten years in an effort to determine which type of mattress provides the best support for the human body. This seems to imply that what we sleep on can dramatically affect our health, and that we can avoid a litany of physical ailments simply by choosing the correct mattress. So waterbed manufacturers made a substantial investment into researching and developing a design that would offer maximum health benefits to their customers. What they discovered is that it is the support a water bed does not provide that is important. Unlike steel spring mattresses, a waterbed mattress does not possess a mechanical weight for your body to rest on. Because of this, a customer feels lighter pressure pushing against their reclining body. This light tension actually feels soothing due to the flow ability of the liquid. The weight of a body is distributed evenly across the entire length of the bed as opposed to unevenly across a few springs. This allows the bones of the back to lie in a straight and natural line, thus promoting skeletal health and ensuring a restful and rejuvenative sleep. One cubic inch of water has less resistance proportionately than a steel spring coil. The liquid which is heated internally within the waterbed provides health benefits in two ways. First, and most important, the body is provided with heat through convection; and, secondly, by exposing the kidneys to heat as well, the warmth is spread throughout the body by the blood. Besides the obvious benefits on a cold, wintry night, a warmer body has more blood flowing to the brain. This translates into faster transition to deep REM sleep. It can also reduce joint stress, ease pain and promote recuperative rest for people with arthritis. A higher mattress temperature has been shown to improve respiration, digestion, and could even stop snoring! Today's waterbed mattresses are constructed of vinyl or plastic. Cleaning is accomplished with simple periodic sweeping or wiping. The dead skin cell material that can accumulate inside a fabric mattress cannot accumulate on a waterbed mattress. People who suffer from allergies or dust intolerance should definitely consider a waterbed as a healthful alternative to their conventional bed. Some mattress manufacturers have recently introduced patented mattresses that blend certain elements of steel spring mattresses. Others offer products with "memory foam", and there are adjustable tension types that have a variety of comfort levels. Article Source: http://www.ArticleBlast.com |
