And felt an earthquake and knew what it was immediately? I was just curious to know if one could tell the difference between the normal rhythm of the bed and an earth moving experience. I believe that it is one of those things you would need to experience to know for sure. I know in my experience, the smallest of things can set a water bed in motion. Including a big enough step on the frog,

I've slept on a waterbed and hated it LOL everytime I moved the whole bed moved and took a little while to settle - hated that.

I think so. Just as well I was house sitting for a friend - I would never buy one for myself.

I have never experienced this..I have slept in a water bed but not in an Earthquake zone..
It doesn't take much to set it in motion...I slept with my Aunt when I would visit her and she had a King waterbed..She would use the bathroom and then come back in to bed and it felt like I was going to end up on the floor...

I have been sleeping on a water bed for close to 30 years. Once you get used to it, movement doesn't normally disturb you. But then something odd would probably wake you up. I have felt 1 earthquake where I live, but I had been sitting on the couch. I don't know if my bed made waves or not, I never thought about checking on it. I was stunned, didn't know what to think, but knew it as an earthquake. I live in Ohio, its not like I am in earthquake country like you are. I would not want to experience a big quake, thats not my cup of tea.
. Just kidding, water beds can be a lot of fun to sleep on.

Hi Rozie37! Never had slept on a water bed, only on regular beds. haha..I have experienced laying on a regular bed when an earthquake happened and that was so many years ago. I felt dizzy even if I was laying in bed at that time, I guess it is because the intensity of the earthquake was around 7 something. With water beds, I would not really know but my guess is you will feel it for sure. 
Take care and have a nice day!

Water beds to me, are fun when you are young. But I have certainly outgrown that thrill. I need to have more stability when I sleep now. Could it have been fear that made you dizzy? A 7 is a pretty serious earthquake. Glad to know that you survived it.

I have heard about waterbeds and I certainly want one of my own! Thankfully I have never been involved in an earthquake and I hope I never have to go through this experience. I would love to have a waterbed though but this will be impossible as I assume that they cost the earth! Andrew
