Page "Waterbed" Paragraph 15
from
Wikipedia
The modern waterbed was created by Charles Prior Hall in 1968, while he was a design student at San Francisco State University in California.
Fellow SFSU students Paul Heckel and Evan Fawkes also contributed to the concept.
Hall originally wanted to make an innovative chair.
His first prototype was a vinyl bag with 300 pounds ( 136 kg ) of cornstarch, but the result was uncomfortable.
He next filled it with Jell-O, which had an unfortunate " tendency to decompose ".
Ultimately, he abandoned working on a chair, and settled on perfecting a bed.
