Would you prefer a waterbed or a regular bed?

I would rather have a water bed. Waterbeds in my mind are more comfortable. They also have a self adjusting heater and regular beds do not have that. That's great for this cold nights. It's better than a electric blanket. Water beds are just so cozy. I don't have one because my boyfriend does not want one. He prefers regular beds. The only bad thing about water beds is that they can be punctured easily. If you have cats or dogs and they are not declawed you are some trouble with a water bed. Their sharp claws can cause a whole in the matress and this can lead to a disaster. I used to own a water bed and a whole was punctured and it turned into a mssive hole. Water was all over my carpet. It was awful. I loved that water bed. It is a shame it got ruined like that. Water beds are great when stuff like that does not happen. They say waterbeds hurt your back but I think any matress can hurt your back.

I would still prefer to have regular beds. I don't want the feeling when I move around on a water bed. It makes me feel dizzy and seems I am on top of the sea wave. I don't want to be awakened when my sleep mate moves in his/her sleep. I am now sleeping with my daughter and she has this habit of turning to her side a couple of times. I don't want her to do it on a water bed. Surely, I can't go back to sleep with that, lol.

I don't think they sell waterbeds at my country and I've never tried one so I can't truly compare. But I'm happy enough with a regular bed, I find them really comfy. And I'm a careless kind of person so there's no telling what I might do accidentally and it would really, really be awful to have water all over the room so I'd rather not risk that. I might test-lie a water bed just for fun though if I ever get the opportunity :D
