Georgia's Oldest Brick and Mortar Waterbed Store

The original Wood Frame Waterbeds that started the sleep revolution in the '60s are still popular today for many reasons. You'll rest with proper spinal alignment in a semi-weightless state meaning less pressure points. When pressure points are reduced, circulation is greatly improved and there is less tossing and turning. Plus, the temperature control system provides soothing, relaxing therapeutic warmth, or you can lower the thermostat to enjoy a cooler slumber. The waterbed is the only bed that I know of that you can control the temperature of completely. From kids to us seniors, they're great for all ages. These are just a few of the reasons I sleep in one every night.

May 1, 2025 UPDATE;
