Whatever Happened To...

Whatever happened to waterbeds?

The iconic waterbed was invented in 1968 and caught on swiftly, growing so popular that by 1987, waterbeds accounted for roughly 20% of U.S. mattress sales, with industry revenue reported at around $2 billion.

By the 1990s, the problems began to overwhelm the wavey fun. As every waterbed owner quickly learned, the beds were heavy, holding hundreds of pounds of water that had to be drained if you wanted to move the bed. They required constant maintenance and heating, and if they sprang a leak, you had a major problem to deal with.

For all those reasons, landlords and insurers began adding legal and financial restrictions to waterbed ownership, limiting their use because of the weight and water-damage risk.

But the final nail in the mattress was that the dry competition caught up. Memory Foam and pillow-top mattresses grew more sophisticated, delivering plush comfort without all the waves—and without the maintenance issues. By the 2000s, waterbeds comprised less than 5% of mattress sales.

Today, waterbeds exist mainly as niche specialty items used in back-pain therapy or by fans of retro nostalgia.
