I knew a guy in college who had one. He passed out drunk on it one night when the bed’s heater was off. He woke up hours later and the cold bed had sapped away a lot of his body temperature. Sounded awful.

A friend in high school had one. He was playing around with a 45 caliber pistol in his room and didn’t realize it had a round chambered. He pointed it at the bed and fired. The bullet damaged the flooring under the bed but did such little damage to the bed itself he was able to patch it before his parents came home.

Of all the shitty things about waterbeds, that was the shittiest. Those things get cold af, so you had to be proactive about heating them up. Add the constant leaks/patching, getting out air bubbles, and difficulty moving around and getting out of bed. As far as general comfort, though, I don't remember them being bad. Seems like the only place I see them nowadays is in headshops.

How did he explain the 500 gallons of water on the floor?
