When I was a kid I envied everyone who had a waterbed. I always wanted one but my parents wouldn�t let me have one. I always swore I would buy me one as soon as I could but it ended up being something that was forgotten about by me and everyone else in the world apparently. Something made me think about it today and I got to googling and they can still be bought.

My last one died in an incident involving baby oil .

I slept on one once. That was enough.

Still have mine and would not sleep on anything else

Warm in the winter

Cool in the summer

Great for my knees, back, shoulders

It is a major pain finding affordable sheet's these day's

If it rains very heavily I don't have a waterbed but I do have water in the bed from the leaky roof.

We love em. Thinking of going back to one.

How to determine if you'll always be a hippie......

Never had one. Slept on one a couple times. Didn�t care for it.

No.

Yep. Bride bought a pillow top something or other 3 or 4 yrs ago. I started sleeping on the couch. She decided we needed a waterbed again last year. Helps with my back problems.

I have had one since 1973. Back then I built the frame and back then they were almost all the same. A single cell water mattress.
It would bounce around till you quit moving then it was pretty comfortable.
I was in school and lived in a garage so it was heated, a feature I've continued to find useful even when it moved into a house.

I am kind of old fashioned and the waveless mattresses came out in the late 70's or early 80's but until a person advertised one on the TFF about 8 years ago I never had one. I like these much better. Almost no movement and if you are on one side the other side does not move much either.

I had heard that waterbed heaters last about 10 years before they burn out. I'm still on heater number two.

I really miss mine.

Same here. If I out live my wife, it is the first thing I'm buying after her funeral.

My parents had one when I was a kid, but had to get rid of it because it hurt my mom's back. I believe the frame is still up in the attic. It's been there for over 30 years.
