Since we stopped producing the solitaire waterbed combined with an adjustable bed base, we have received far more enquiries from potential buyers.

Why did we stop producing it? Simply because as an adjustable bed it was difficult to move. The foot end of the adjustable bed mechanism needed to be disabled. Memory foam improved over the early years of it’s development. Although a waterbed mattress gives far greater pressure relief and support than a memory foam mattress, on an adjustable bed the waterbed mattress was not as practical as the memory foam mattress. 

The Solitaire waterbed was specifically designed to be a light weight single waterbed to be used by children or elderly. With the obvious benefits a waterbed gives such as no dust mites, perfect for asthma sufferers. Temperature controlled, a waterbed is perfect for everybody especially elderly, warm in winter and cool in the summer. And comfort, no other mattress supports as well as a waterbed mattress.

Disadvantages of the Solitaire waterbed combined with an adjustable bed base was that the waterbed mattress had to have no fiber inside which reduces the movement of the water. As a result it was a difficult waterbed for the user to turn themselves, not ideal for the elderly. So we have stuck with the memory foam mattress and developed the Serena adjustable bed range with great success.
