Had one when I was single and the ladies loved it.

Once you get married that kills the need for a waterbed.

Maintenance sucked, draining the water, and refilling it.

One day I woke up and got tired of my back hurting.
Got rid of the bed.

always wonder if that waterbed was the problem.


Weren’t they supposed to be good for bad problems? I never had 1 but remember them when I was a kid.

People finally came to the realization that it sucks to sleep in a bed where your head is laying lower than your feet.

Do they still exist? I remember they were the rage back in the 1980's

I think that was the idea and selling point. Pretty sure It destroyed my back, once I discovered firmer mattresses, my back issues just disappeared

When’s we first got married in the mid-90s my wife had a tube waterbed. Instead of one big water mattress, it had these long water-filled tubes inside the mattress. It was a pain in the arse to change the water in them. Thankfully we got rid of it not long after we married.

I don’t think they’re still sold but my sister and I were in waterbed cribs before we could walk, then we were in queen size waterbeds until we left at the end of high school. They were great imo

In the 80s, I put in some serious work on water beds.

Heater went out on my waterbed. That shite got cold. Took that as a sign to just get rid of it.

In the summer in south La., you would get to bed and everything was fine. But by 1:00 am you would wake up and be hot as shite from that hot stagnant water and your body heat laying on top. Could never get back to full REM sleep after that.

I had a water bed in the late ‘80s,when all of the cool kids had one. I found it fairly comfortable, and really liked the fact that you could totally control the temperature through the heater.

Sex sucked on them because whoever was on the bottom basically ended up bottoming out on the bed and resting on the bottom board of the bed. Getting in and out of them was also a total pain in the arse.

I think memory foam beds have taken the place of water beds.

I had a Hollywood size one (with baffles!) in the 90s. Looking back I probably was lucky I didn't end up crashing through the first floor ceiling in our apartment.

Sex was nearly impossible.

Don't remember why the heater would stop, but a cold waterbed in the early morning will wake a passed out drunk person.

The tsunami sounds were cool when plowing.

At first. Then it got old.

there was an aire of waterbeds being "exotic" at that time.
