Waterbed anyone?  

I had one about 20 years ago. It was rocky to say the least. And the sharks...whoa nelly, harder than heck to get a good nights rest dodging them things.

This brings back some memories that make me giggle a little bit. My husband had a waterbed at the time I moved in. I hated that thing, all the sloshing around and listening to the water made me have to go to the bathroom all the time,LOL!

I once owned a water bed and loved it for awhile, then one night I hopped in and down the bottom was all wet, after checking it out found some tiny holes (cat claw size) lol as I think my cat decided to sharpen her claws much to my delight!

no i havent, but i can imagine it would have been a nice one

I used to have a queen size waterbed with a beautiful lighted headboard with roses etched into the shelve doors. I loved it! I slept in the basement so I always had the heat turned up very high, and had a nice warm bed to crawl into. I slept great in it and I had it for years! I ended up getting rid of it when I got pregnant with my twins though because it was too hard to heave myself in and out of the bed. And now, I don't think I would trade in my king size pillow top bed for anything!

Yes, I used to have a waterbed for about 15 years. It was very comfortable, but as I got older it started to hurt my back. I had trouble getting out of it, and I couldn't get the temperature just right. It was either too hot, or too cold. But for the time I had it, I liked it.

Is a California King waterbed different from any other type? I have had a couple of waterbeds and used to swear by them for comfort. My last one though sprung a leak after about ten years and we got a new ensemble bed. I must admit I do miss my waterbed though. People either hate them or absolutely love them. I was in the latter category!

Yes I had a waterbed, it was wonderful. I had a motionless with the fibers inside. It was quite expensive at the time. I loved it, oh I wish I still had it sometimes...

I have to tell you this story it was so funny. When my friend and I first moved to Washington together with her son who was 5 we all got waterbeds. They were inexpensive at the time and quite popular. We had all been staying at my sisters house when we first arrived. Well we had jobs and cj her son was in school and we found a nice 3 bedroom apartment with a playground and pool that we could afford. Well we set up my and my friends bed with the help of my sister. She had waterbed experience..lol My friend was finishing her sons smaller size bed on her own.
Later that night while we were sleeping. CJ went into his moms room and told her "my bed is peeing" she said "well change your pajamas and sleep on the couch" She thought he wet the bed...lol
All of a sudden at 5 am I hear screaming and yelling to get up and quick. I come stumbling out of my bed and into the hallway and am splashing barefoot in water....

Yes his bed was peeing...peeing out all the water in it onto the floor....Oh what a mess..It had a leak in the seam about 1/4 inch long...lol

Hi Margie
No I have never had one or slept in one. I always wanted to know what it is like to sleep in one lol. Hope you are ok Sweet and hope that things are going well Hubby's new Job.

You really hit on a subject there! I had a waterbed in Alaska. I really miss it. I had a king-sized one with drawers on each side. The headboard had a mirror in the middle and shelves on the ends to put my favorite books. Above the shelves were lights. In the winter I would turn the heater up in the bed and be nice and toasty warm. I hated to get out of it! In the summer, I would turn the heater down and I would be nice and cool, great for sleeping. I had a semi-waveless, a nice gentle roll whenever you turned over. I wish we had one here. I have never seen one in the UK. I would love to have another one!
