Do you sleep on a waterbed or a regular mattress?

I've never had a waterbed, and always had trouble getting out of a waterbed, probably because I never tried out one that was 80% waveless! I sleep on a regular mattress, but very firm for my bad back. Sorry I cannot help with where to buy sheets for a waterbed.

Wow waterbeds. Used to have one when I was a child and now I have been sleeping on a regular matress for oh 25 years now. I would love to have a waterbed... a lot of apartment complexes don't let you have them so those who don't own their homes would have a problem there. Great post. Zelo

Oh my gosh I totally forgot about the water bed. I had a king size waterbed about 30 years ago. OH how I loved my waterbed. Remember how you had to burb the bed to get all the air out of it. I remember how noisy the bed would be until I burbed it. Then it would be nice and quiet again. I loved laying on it, reading a book in the day when I had the bed all to myself. Does anyone out there still have their water bed?

Hello All of my cousin's and a friend of mine had a water bed growing up , and I loved them . I always wanted one myself but never got one . I love water and am sure I would find peace and better nights sleep with those kinds of beds . I just have a queen bed now and sometimes it does bother my back . I am thinking about getting a water bed , but they are not that easy to find anymore.

We did the waterbed thing back in the 80s when they were popular - but they didn't suit us because my husband likes to be very cool at night and I like to be warm. Therefore, we could never agree on the temperature of the water and either one of us would end up not sleeping well. We didn't ever have special sheets for it, though - just the normal ones. I didn't actually know you could get special waterbed sheets. I haven't seen waterbeds for sale for many years ... but I suppose eventually they'll make a comeback!

I used to have a waterbed when I was a kid. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. It had a drawers on the side of the bedframe that I kept my clothes in and then it had a door at the foot of the bedframe that I would crawl in sometimes or when I was told to clean my room, I just shoved everything in it. I have a regular mattress now. Now that I think of it, you really don't hear too much about waterbeds anymore. I've never really paid any attention to it until I seen your post. I'm glad you love your bed though, I'm sure it probably is alot more comfortable than a regular mattress. Have a good night!

I do not have waterbed and never thought of getting one. Current matress already so comfy for me and my wife. Secondly waterbed is expensive so we could not justify the cost of purchasing it.

I sleep on a memory foam. I love it but you can't jump. When I got it, we all ran and jumped on it. THUMP! then you sink. lol Also makes for a good work out. But literally, you can't feel when somebody else moves. The down fall - it is ALWAYS hot! That foam holds the heat.

No, I've never slept on a waterbed before. Are they really that comfortable? I have a California King size bed with a pillowtop and it is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. As far as the sheets go, have you tried Overstock.com? Their prices are very cheap compared with regular stores and you might just find hard to fit sizes. Otherwise, maybe Macy's or Bed Bath & Beyond? I hope you have good luck in finding your sheets!

charray 7 no no waterbedsas they make me feel seasick. but I have a new firm Sealy Posturepedic mattress and its a real gem, so comfortable and I no longer have any backaches like I used to. I love my pillow top mattress and it does not roll and slash like the awful water bed did. hurrah for Sealy. its hard to get sheets for but its still a great comfortable mattress for me. lol.

Hi there CharRay. As much as I wanted to sleep in a waterbed, I don't have any. So I just have to stick on my regular bed. Happy postings! HUGZ!

Years ago we had a queen sized waterbed. I came to HATE that thing. We moved several times and the internal baffles would get tangled and you'd end up with this huge lump somewhere you had to work loose. Then there were the leaks. You'd wake up soaking wet and realize you'd sprung a leak. So then began the laborous task of draining the thing out the window with a pump and garden hose. Hauling the bladder outside and filling it with air. Then running dish soap over it to watch for bubbles so you could find the leak! Then you patch, wait, drag it back in, refill it and wait 12 hours for it to heat so you aren't sleeping on an ice cube. Try doing all that in mid winter too! UGH. Thank goodness we got rid of the thing. The last time it sprung a leak I said NO MORE. Besides, for me anyway it was really hard on my back. We ended up buying a pillow top bed and I love it.

I used to like water beds. But one night I was drinking to much and crashed with my keys in my pockets still. I woke up really wet and had to re-insulate the floor as it went all the way through into the living room downstairs.

I sleep on a regular bed, i slept on a waterbed a few times and its really comfy but i rather stick with a normal mattress. My mom on the other hand use to sleep on a water bed but she got a normal mattress now she switched because like you she couldn't find sheets for it other then online.

Used to have one, but its been a long time ago. I was pregnant with my youngest at the time. You know, it's really hard getting out of a waterbed when you are nine months pregnant. LOL

yes, waterbed has no hard spot and its flexible too as compared to regular mattress. and for the people having back problem and who hate mattress due to hard spot, waterbed (waveless) is a good alternative. now a days waterbeds are not in use it is almost obsolete, but with effort and pain we can find it through some well known stores i think there is no such problem in this. anyway best of luck to you as you have one using that.

i never had a water bed but i tried sitting on it before. it's cold but i like bed who doesn't move that much. waterbed moves when someone sit on it right. hehehe.. i like mattress which has no much of spring under so that it won't be that bouncy as waterbeds..

I prefer and do sleep on the floor or bare wood, eventhough I have both waterbed and mattress. This may be a wrong concept I got since childhood, but even after growing up, I really follow the old. My wife sometimes get angry to my odd behavior.

Ours is a motionless waterbed with the tubes in it, it was my sisters then she bought a new bed when she bought her house so now hubby and i have it. I lvoe it, and when we move next (whenever that is) i hope we can bring it along, i sleep on beds at hotels or at friends houses and ouchy!

I also used to have a waterbed when I was a child..And I can say that it was just such a good experience to have one...I wish I still have a waterbed again. I'm using a regular mattress and it's just fine!
