InnoMax Sanctuary Free Flow Watermattress

Bed technology is such BS. We went on a 10 year quest to figure out the most important 8 hours of every day of your life...fact: it's a waterbed. My wife and I tried high quality mattresses for $5k, Costco mattresses at $1K, sleep number at $3K, memory foam for $4K, organic latex for $2K, even the Dux feather bed for $10K! Returned them all within the return period. The winner: 1970's style waterbed! We found a great frame and headboard online for $500, use a $100 heater, a thick quality mattress pad, the best safety liner for another $50, and water conditioner for another $10/year. Every night when you slip into bed the first thing you feel is warmth and snuggles. Then the fun giggling of water motion like you are playing in the pool. Supports your back, great for your neck (use a very soft pillow) and, of course, it's great for your love life! Of the things a modern human needs, access to healthcare, government stability, a Toto Washlet, and the best nights sleep possible. Now, I get that some rentals or multi-family do not allow them...that is what the safety liner is for. In 15 years we have had 2 failures. They do not POP...they seap. So if you have a leak, usually in a seam, you wake up to a little wettness. You simply drain it into the bathtub and get a new mattress and liner for $150. Not bad! Considering how much a conventional mattress costs. A month ago, we woke up to our 2nd failure in many years. It looks like it may have been seaping for a few days...the mattress pad and sheets soaked up the majority and nothing escaped the safety liner. I drained it...3 days later, thanks to Amazon, we are back to bed. Thanking the Maker we had our waterbed back. (This time, as an extra caution, I added one of those $20 water leak detectors for early warning.) Seriously, I can not tell you how much more luxurious and restorative sleeping in a warm waterbed can be.

We decided to replace our old mattress after 30+ years of use and purchased the Innomax Sanctuary SGL mattress. When you do something once every 30 years, you tend to forget construction details that can cause grief if not attended to :0). So, we slowly pumped the mattress up with air and let it set for a week to check for leaks and let the vinyl offgas chlorine. A week later it was still holding pressure and didn't hardly smell so it was installed and has worked fine. Build quality is good. We will be careful with the fill cap pull tabs to ensure we don't break them. All in all if you are willing to do some checkout before installation, you should avoid any pitfalls. Just remember that when you compare the Innomax pricing with a conventional mattress, you can buy many waterbed mattresses for the price of just one conventional. So, if things don't work out and you don't like the warranty conditions, just buy another mattress from a vendor of your choice :0).

I read a few reviews before purchasing this product and what I read couldn't be more wrong. This mattress was delivered and was quickly removed from packing by me expecting this horrible smell everyone was mentioning? While there was some no where near as much as the complaints, it is a large plastic bladder that is brand new what was everyone expecting, Geez. Set mattress up quickly in frame and started to fill. Here was another knock fill area in middle? Again its not in the middle of the bed its at the bottom of the bed in the middle and doesn't get in the way of anything in fact it was much easier than my last mattress to fill. Filled it to my preferred way and turned heater on. While it is recommended to wait 24 hours to sleep on I was able to use it that night and Slept GREAT! Way smoother than last mattress, heated nicely and quickly. Have used this mattress for a few weeks now and am extremely satisfied and there is no smell at all. If you want a great mattress on a budget this is perfect.

I was leery to order this product but I am thrilled to say we are OVERLY satisfied. It arrived in a smaller box than expected but the quality is everything we expected. We have had a water bed for over 35 years and tossed around getting a regular bed, when I searched on line and found that I could replace my mattress for such a reasonable price I went with what we LOVE... The quality is good and the service/delivery as stated when ordered. I read other reviews and that helped me make our decision so I hope this one helps you.

We've been sleeping on the InnoMax Sanctuary Free Flow Full Wave Waterbed mattress for about a month now and its the best waterbed mattress we've slept on in 25 years! Previously when needing a new mattress (because its always an emergency!) we went to a local waterbed store and purchased the typical silver one. They all seemed to carry the same brand and we figured that was all that was available. This time I checked Amazon before heading out to the local store and found this one. It was cheaper - even with overnight shipping - so, we ordered it. Pros: -less expensive than local store -squared corners instead of the rounded corners of typical waterbed mattresses - this is something we never considered one way or the other and it makes a HUGE difference! The mattress fills out the frame completely - no slopping on the sides or corners. -very comfortable Cons: -strong vinyl smell that took about 2 weeks to subside

I ordered the Innomax sanctuary free flow and they sent me a cheaper version, the one I ordered had reinforced corners and was to be 9 inches high and this is not. I would send it back but whats the point, I had already began the set up process when I realized this is the wrong product.. Do not trust this company to send you what you want, instead buy from someone else.. I will make sure I don't buy anymore products from them. Update: I have had this for three months now and I am taking back the bad review I originally gave, I still have a different product than what I ordered but it turns out this is a good mattress, it has been through some rough play and it still holds the water, we blew it up with air just to see what it would do and it was fun to bounce off of and then we put water back in it an it still holds strong. The material is thick and even though I have a sharp ring that I accidentally dug into the bed, it still does not leak, so here I am setting the record straight about this product, it's a good buy.

I was a little worried about this mattress because it was fairly inexpensive. I will say it has exceeded my expectations. I read reviews about the rings on the pull cap breaking. I was cautious and mine did not break. I will say the plug was difficult to get to pop out. The mattress is deep and has nice thick corners. It's very comfortable and wavy which helps eliminate pressure points. The vinal smell is pretty strong though and I hope it goes away in time.. soon I hope it fade soon it is really strong. It was really easy to fold out and fill. Overall it is a good mattress and I'm pleased with my purchase.

PRO: So far it has exceeded expectations. I have only had it installed and filled a couple of weeks, but I already like it better than the one that it replaced. It seems like a thicker vinyl which means the sloshing noise is reduced. I like the center fill location as that seems to make it easier to expel air. CON: The pull tabs on the fill cap broke the first time I attempted to use them. They just pulled off. It seemed like a good idea, but they are not strong enough obviously. The real test will be the durability. I had the old mattress for 33 years before it sprung a leak.
