Still sleep on my full motion waterbed from Southern Comfort Waterbeds on Florida. Bought it in 1978. Had to replace the heater twice and the mattress once from when a tree fell on the house in Gustav.

Count me in. I had one for about 5 yrs when I was about 10 yrs old. I can’t really remember why my parents got rid of it.

There is nothing worse than trying to sleep on a waterbed with a broken heater.

Had an uncle that made a fortune in the eighties selling these things. Ended up with seven stores. A group of us went to a concert and stayed at his house. Let’s just say they aren’t fun to sleep on if you’ve been drinking.

Had one when I was 15. Tubes were old and it sprung a small leak and was leaking on bedroom floor without us knowing. My mom came in to put away some clothes and noticed the wet floor. She comes to me all concerned and asks, honey, did you wet the bed? Wtf...

There is a Stuff You Should Know podcast about waterbeds that is also pretty interesting.

The original guy that invented the waterbed didn't patent it right or something if I remember the episode correctly.
