1.Why use water cushions
Prolonged sitting (Computerwork,driving, watching TV,etc) results in "pressure points" in the parts of the body which comes in contact with the surface. When a person sits on water cushion, it takes a form closely following the contours of the body. Thus the weight & more importantly the body pressure gets distributed, thus reducing the pressure points.
2.Waterbed - A Medical product OR A Luxury product
Waterbed is a Medical product AND a Luxury product.
Since patients who require longterm treatment face the risk of bedsores, waterbed, since it prevents bedsores, would be useful in hospitals & homes of the bedridden & is a Medical Product.
We spend nearly a third of life, in the bed. Therefore, it makes sense to sleep in a bed which reduces the body pressure, is economical & easy to maintain. Thus waterbed, is also a Lifestyle/Luxury Product
However, since medical waterbeds require certain features, Medical & Luxury waterbeds have different designs to suit the requirement.
