FloBeds Original Somma Waterbed
Dating back to 1971, FloBeds’ original vision was to create premium-quality waterbeds. Our Somma waterbed was intended to provide customers with a comfortable night of rest while alleviating pressure points. While our positive control flotation bed did exactly that, we began to see the potential of using Talalay latex as the primary material for our mattresses. Eventually, we decided to discontinue our waterbeds and make the switch to Talalay latex, and it paid off! Now, you can build your own one-of-a-kind latex mattress that offers more comfort than you would have experienced from our Somma flotation mattress. However, if you would like to dive into some history and gain insight into how we designed our positive control cylinder flotation bed, read on to learn more!
How We Designed Our Last FloBeds Flotation Bed System
| Positve Control Cylinder |
The original Somma flotation mattress was a drop-top design with 3 inches of foam in the top. However, when Land and Sky purchased the Somma trade name, they modified the design. Then, a few years later, Halcyon purchased the flotation business from Land and Sky, and the Somma design was, once again, further removed from its original composition. We realized that our customers wanted a bed that felt as good as the original Somma waterbed. That’s when we decided to make our Somma style positive control cylinder flotation bed. We felt this design would give the best Somma-like comfort, and because we used 100% latex foam rubber, it would also outlast the original Somma flotation mattress.
