Dennis Boyd, entrepreneur and founder of Boyd Flotation Waterbeds, has always had a key interest in waterbeds due to their therapeutic value. As a world class swimmer in high school and college, Boyd was often troubled by tendonitis in his shoulders – until he purchased a waterbed. The warmth of the heater and the full support for his shoulders and back made such a difference that he was able to stop taking cortisone shots.
In 1999 the Specialty Sleep Association recognized Boyd’s pioneering and innovative Specialty Mattress designs by naming Boyd Manufacturer of the Year. Boyd Flotation was also recognized as the Manufacturer of the Year in 2004 and 2006. Boyd has been voted to the Small Business Hall of Fame and the American Dream Award. His companies have been recognized by Inc. Magazine 5 separate times as one of the nation’s 500 fastest growing privately held companies.
Boyd currently sells over 400,000 mattresses worldwide each year. Boyd Flotation is the largest manufacturer of waterbeds in the industry. Boyd’s impressive list of over 30 US patents with more pending, all pertaining to the continued quality, innovation and design of unique specialty sleep products, is solid proof of this company’s only focus.
