It looks like a conventional mattress but sleeps like nothing else. This created a bed that is easy to get in and out of, completely waveless, and has an even more compliant surface that contours to your body, eliminating pressure points that cause discomfort.
AFLOAT WATERBED UPDATE
The beds are better insulated, resulting in reduced energy costs by as much as 50% compared to the old waterbed design.Ĭharles Hall noted, “After patenting the original waterbed more than 50 years ago and having a great night’s sleep ever since, I decided to update and redesign the original, using materials that weren’t previously available. In addition, the wave-reducing inner support system is much more effective and trouble-free than the average old design.Īnother key difference in the reinvention is the more precise temperature control. This is much more desirable than the old wooden box waterbeds used to come in, allowing the Afloat Waterbed to be used with any type of bedroom furniture. The Afloat Waterbed also appears as a standard mattress with its unique fully removable and machine washable cover. The combination of the super-thin, stretch-knit cover, and oversized inner water compartment offers an even more body-contouring flotation comfort than all models based on Hall’s original patent. Recently, Hall Flotation LLC, the makers of Afloat, was awarded by the US Patent Office a new patent - 10,799,033 - for their unimaginable reinvention of the waterbed. The US Patent Office agreed, again: US Patent 10,799,033.Īfloat has given waterbeds a whole new meaning and experience since their rebirth. Waterbeds were invented in 1969 by Charles Hall and later reinvented in 2018 by Hall.


In 2018, Charles Hall re-invented the waterbed. The US Patent Office agreed: US Patent # 585356 In 1969, Charles Hall invented the waterbed.
