From a purely theoretical
view a water bed is the perfect answer to equal pressure. The water gives way
easily to the convex body locations and moves into the concave areas to provide
more support. Air mattresses, such as
the Sleep Number Bed are almost identical to a water mattress in their support.
As most people realize (except for some engineers) there can be a vast difference between theory and reality. A water bed is theoretically perfect, but a large number of people are unable to sleep on one for one reason or another – they are definitely awkward to get into and out of, for example.
Also, over time, something changes, and someone who used to love sleeping on the water bed can no longer get comfortable – my wife and I lasted twenty years before we had to get rid of ours (she couldn’t take it anymore). I've heard this story from many of my patients -- one spouse loved it and the other hated it – makes for a great marriage, doesn’t it?
