The company started in 1977 when Richard Haux, Sr. opened a small [[waterbed]] store in San Diego, California. At the time, Waterbeds were popular and the company quickly grew into a leading Waterbed retailer in locations throughout [[San Diego County]].

In 1983 the company grew and opened locations in [[Spokane, Washington]], followed by [[Portland, Oregon]] in 1984. By 1987, there were stores located in San Diego, Portland, Spokane, and [[Seattle, Washington]] under the direction of Richard Haux, Sr. and Robert Kelley.
