Design trends come and go, but some fads seem firmly rooted in the past. Sure, we see terrazzo, curvy furniture, and Granny chic make comebacks around the clock, but certain phenomenons are noticeably missing from the trend cycle.
Take waterbeds, for example.
Waterbeds were once all the rage in the 1970s, but we haven't seen much of them since then. After all, we highly doubt waterbeds can fit in a compact, easy to ship box like Casper or Leesa mattresses. But some recent buzz suggests a waterbed comeback isn't as far-fetched as you would think.
Charles Hall, a.k.a. the inventor of the waterbed, recently launched a new and improved waterbed company called AFloat. The concept is the same as the waterbeds of yore—your mattress is filled with H20, not springs or foam—but AFloat has some considerable upgrades. Thanks to the company's patent-pending insulation system, AFloat's mattresses use 40 percent less energy than typical waterbeds. Its denim-like mattress cover gives your body the support it needs. Plus, AFloat says its "impermeable membrane" keeps bugs and unwanted creatures from punching a hole and wiggling into your bed.
All this hype around AFloat has us wondering, are waterbeds actually making a comeback?
Well, it depends on who you ask.
