Is a waterbed even good for your health?

People sometimes wonder if that's good for your health, lying on a waterbed all night like that. I should hope so, because it is my favorite sleeping comfort! I'll explain why.

Even the Romans knew it: sleeping on a waterbed is healthy

You read it right. Many think that sleeping on a waterbed is a fairly recent form of sleeping comfort. That's not true at all. Even the Romans were already sleeping on a waterbed. And we ourselves can go all the way back to the very beginning. Because before we are born, we all sleep in water for 9 months. You probably don't remember any of it, but it sure feels secure! And yes, it's healthy, too. At least if you pay attention to the right things!

A waterbed free of harmful substances

Sleeping on a waterbed is healthy if you make sure your waterbed is free of harmful substances. Not all waterbed manufacturers are so particular about the materials they use for the water bag. After all, it should preferably be sturdy and flexible at the same time. And then they sometimes resort to a cheaper and unhealthy alternative. At Sleepwise we make a point of ensuring that our waterbeds do not contain any harmful substances. The water bags are made of Mesamoll®, a material manufactured and certified by Bayer that is also used to make pacifiers or baxters. So yes, in theory you can even suck on your Sleepwise waterbed 🙂 In practice, I'd rather advise against it for obvious reasons. In short, you can sleep easy: a waterbed with a water bag in Mesamoll ® is absolutely healthy and safe to sleep on.

What about radiation from your waterbed's heating element?

There used to be some difficulty about the magnetic radiation caused by the heating elements of a waterbed. The time when you could worry about that is really far behind us. The heating elements are now so advanced that the radiation is really minimal, negligible. Do you want no radiation at all, even if it is totally harmless? Then you can opt for a waterbed with digital heating elements. This gives you the option of setting the heating of your waterbed so that the elements are turned off completely (from the power source) as soon as you lie on your bed and until you get up again. This offers you the guarantee that no magnetic radiation is present when you lie on your waterbed.

Lovely healthy sleep on a waterbed

I really can't repeat it enough: sleeping on a waterbed is fantastic! You sleep well supported, wonderful and healthy. You won't have any of the so-called disadvantages if you choose a high-quality waterbed that is free of harmful substances. And that a waterbed has many advantages is a given.
