Allergies:
Battle the house dust-mite

Every third Austrian suffer from an allergy: An ailment of „modern civilisation“. One of the most feared and sly pathogens is the house dust-mite. Estimates show that around 700.000 Austrians already suffers from a house dust-mite allergy.

Concerned people can sing you a song: Red eyes, a running nose, and breathing problems leading to a fitful sleep that leaves you with a knackered feeling in the morning. All because of the leery house dust-mite allergy more Austrians suffer from each year.

The cause behind this insidious allergy is the dust-mite, or, more precisely, its excrements scientists dub „dermatophagoides pteronyssinus“. It decomposes into dust after drying out and causes an allergic reaction that can, if left unattended, develop into chronic asthma.

Conventional Mattresses – sleeping with the enemy

House dust-mites are everywhere inside a home, but they like the bedroom especially well, which means „the enemy“ is often in your own bed. These microscopically small mites feel most comfortable in poorly aired out rooms and seldom – many Austrians sleep on the same mattress for over ten years – swapped out mattresses. As such, over 10 million mites live inside the moist microclimate of a conventional mattress: an evil normal hygienic measures can't combat properly. Switching sheets on numerous occasions leaves these pests unimpressed, and tampering with a vacuum and other cleaning utensils only causes people with allergies further hardship.

Water mattresses help people with dust-mite allergies

The solution is obvious: Switching to a water mattress brings true and permanent relief since the core temperature of a waterbed is higher than the room temperature, which means that the mattress stays dry. Skin particles and sweat cannot infiltrate into the mattress, and its mattress pads can be cleaned 100% thoroughly without a problem. The surface of a water mattress prevents a microclimate mites prefer, which essentially robs them of their breeding ground. The result is a free respiratory-passage and a calm, restorative sleep. 

Consequently, switching to a water mattress is the only real alternative for people with allergies.

Back problems: Falling asleep easily and sleeping well with ITW waterbeds

Ailments of modern civilization such as rheumatism, arthritis, and sleeping disorders are still on the rise. What few know: ITW waterbeds bring relief and are recommended by manly leading physicians.

A qualitatively high waterbed offers many advantages compared to a conventional mattress when it comes to back pains: A waterbed's comforting warmth makes tensions disappear and sooths back pains. Muscles are, through a perfect match to the body, disencumbered. Many problems around the spine find – relieve at night – which leaves one completely refreshed and without pains in the morning. The new bed models of ITW waterbeds promise also thanks to the use of modern technologies an easy entry and exit – especially important for older persons, and individually adjustable wave-motion stabilisation.

Blood circulation disorders: Relieve through a water mattress

Sleeping on a water mattress distributes body weight perfectly, which ensures optimal blood circulation. A normal mattress will, on the other hand, distribute the weight of your body over its extremities – which results in extreme amounts of pressure on your spine, ribcage, and shoulder blades. Elbows, hip joints, ankle joints, and heels are also stressed, and a human being unconsciously turns several times an hour to alleviate such points of pressure while asleep. People with blood circulation disorders can sleep well on a water mattress because such exhausting reflexes are reduced to a minimum.

Waterbeds in case of sleeping disorders and overstress

Contemporary times often make us feel burned out and overwhelmed, which can be the cause behind sleeping disorders such as insomnia. Such a vicious cycle drains affected people's stamina. The warmth of a waterbed is one of the best methods of complete relaxation. It permeates muscles, and the water carries your body with a regularity that weans you to sleep. The results are falling asleep faster and deeper sleeping cycles. A waterbed minimizes the risk of waking up in-between sleeping cycles, and you wake up refreshed and physically well adjusted.
