"Water Beds" !! Who still wants that stuff?! Go to bed and get seasick.

Had one for 20 years; seasick??? Wherever do you get these odd notions? Ours was exceptionally stable, heated, and worth every penny on those colder winter nights....

My odd notions come from my experiences, albeit possibly limited, at times. The few times I had a chance to sit or lay on a water bed, its contents moved and roiled under me, moving me; hence, my aversion. See? Plus, who wants a bed that can spring a leak, and some have sprung leaks, ya know.

Good ones are very stable; cheap ones are not. The roof can leak too, but you have one.....

One case in the News quite some tine ago, which may have contributed to their falling out of favor, had a poor fellow trying to roll it out of its box and rest it on his balcony. It broke the balcony OFF the building AND went rolling down the street, stopping when landing on a VW Beetle, which it nearly flattened. Huh? Huh?

If it broke off the balcony, someone needs to find the builder and sue their a$$. If it could be that heavy, he could not have possibly have moved it. I could barely more ours w/o the water in it! I would however like to see a rolling waterbed mattress........seems rather odd, maybe round and full of water, and probably impossible for a person to have moved.

So, it is I would ask you, what ever possessed you to get one? Aren't "normal" mattresses sufficient for your needs? AND , if they were (not are anymore, right?) so wonderful, why have they fallen out of favor so totally/ Huh? Hmmm?

Silly - my wife wanted it. Happy wife; happy life.

I don't know that they are out of favor other than in your perception.

If I am recalling the TV news piece on the event, he just rolled it out from its mooring and rolled it toward the sliding glass doors and then kept rolling it out onto the balcony. I don't recall ever hearing anybody say why he wanted to move it; perhaps, for some kind of cleaning.

If folks are still buying them and are happy, good for them. Yet, I did still get the impression the beds were being purged. Even the link you so kindly provided has a few entries that state:
"What ever happened to waterbeds?"
"Are waterbeds still for sale?"
"There was a time when waterbeds were.."

You said you got rid of yours, too (!)
Oh well. So what, Huh.

My wife wanted the one we bought. Especially the heated part. Worked out great for me. No more cold feet from the wife in my crouch.

But several years ago we bought a "Sleep Number" Wife wanted it also. Dual controls for each side for mattress hardness.

Clearly someone with excess musculature....living in a poorly constructed hamlet.

I reiterate: Happy wife; happy life.

You are a wise man. (Note that I did not say "wisenheimer. )

Anyone married more than a few years knows the above to be true..................or else someone has made a terrible error.

I think there are very few apartments or condos that allow waterbeds. This may contribute to the idea that they aren't sold anymore.
