When AsleepAkva Waterbeds
Akva Waterbeds: We believe there is tremendous therapeutic benefit associated with sleeping on water. It is after all, 60% of our body mass. It is deeply relaxing, leading to an improved quality of sleep.
Quote from Physiotherapist Nicolas Mortier:
"I am convinced that a waterbed is beneficial for our health, the water will always accommodate any build, providing optimum support for the body. We think that there should be a sharper focus on waterbeds as a way of improving people's health."
- F stands for fibre and 0 - 8 relates to the number of layers used.
- F0 has no restrictions in movement (and equates to a free flow, for those of you who know a little about waterbeds!)
- F8 is the most stabilized mattress we do and feels much more like gel than water. It responds very slowly to body movement.

Akva Waterbed - Deco
 Akva Waterbed - Deco |
The Deco has been very well received in our Bristol showroom and is the epitomy of absolute luxury and design. The sleep comfort is the same as our other models but the Deco stands apart. It has a firmer feel on the sides due to the solid wood frame and a slightly firmer foam frame. If you choose fabric or leather as part of the frame, this subsequently can be changed if you re-style your bedroom. The frames use the finest quality of real woods and top grade leathers. The design details are engineered to the highest standards and only top quality components are used. Mattress section is lighter to lift than traditional waterbeds, so making the bed is easy. There is also an Akva Headboard range. |

Textiles
There is a wide choice of textiles available for the removable zip on top cover, all machine washable at varying temperatures. Please ask us for advice.
All options of headboards and bases are inter-changeable between all models.
Our body temperature varies greatly through the night and this can have implications for couples, who often "run" at different temperatures to each other. The dual mattressand separate heater option can be the best solution, giving you independent environments tailored to your own needs but without resorting to separate beds!
Duals are available in all levels of stabilization.

"I have suffered from varying degrees of back pain and sciatica for some 15+ years, with several occurrences of disc prolapse in my lower spine. The most recent prolapse occurred 10 months ago which, as normal, I tackled with regular visits to the osteopath. With limited improvement I decided to look at other aspects that may have been contributing to the problem – including a good, but aging Visprung bed. Following a fair amount of research and indecision, I took the plunge and ordered an Akva waterbed. After a few days of trial and error with water levels and temperature settings, I found the perfect settings along with the most blissful night’s sleep! Within a couple of weeks all traces of pain and discomfort were completely gone and now, 6 months later, I have not looked back. Not a single twinge or ache to be felt - I can honestly say I have not felt this good in years!" Jan 2009
