Medical benefits of waterbeds

Poor support for your back

Legs lying flat rotates pelvis away
from torso, arching the small of the
back and creating strain and tension
between the vertebrae.

 

Correct support for your back

Slight elevation of the legs tilts the
pelvis back, releasing the tension and
pressure on the vertebrae and
connecting ligaments.

 

Waterbeds are proven to help you sleep; they reduce back problems, help asthma sufferers and have many benefits that are good for your health.

Many conditions - including that of perfect health - will derive benefit from a waterbed, as elements of the medical profession have long acknowledged. A waterbed itself is not a cure for the conditions mentioned but it can provide relief and improve the overall situation thus encouraging the body to heal itself.
Backaches are one condition where this has often proved to be the case, as the argument for a hard bed being ideal for a bad back is losing ground. People with varying severities of backache are finding that a bed which supports

your back where the pain exists - such as a waterbed - can be far more beneficial as the diagram above demonstrates.

Arthritis sufferers are amongst the people most benefited by a waterbed. All over support reduces the pressure on the major areas of arthritic inflammation. The warmth improves the blood's circulation and can reduce the localised pain.

Allergenics and asthmatics find that the vinyl surface of the mattress means that no dust, skin particles or bed mites should be present if the mattress is simply wiped over with a damp cloth, so providing a far healthier environment to sleep in.
