Did I happen to mention that I am a recovering Alcoholic…?
I had always wanted a waterbed. I thought it would be the answer to my relationship woes, kind of like the wild and crazy guys on Saturday Night Live. Trouble was now that I was making decent money for the first time in my young life, I couldn’t get a waterbed because we lived on the second floor of the apartment building.

One fall afternoon I stopped at a waterbed store, see how long ago it was, there were still waterbed stores scattered about, and bought this killer king sized bed with padded rails, a quick heat filament, a great headboard and a pedestal with book selves on the headboard.

In 1980’s terminology, a sex machine bed.

1. I miss my waterbed. Most comfortable bed I've ever had.
It was a twin-size. Wonderful.

2. Yes, but the older you get the harder it becomes to get out of the
damn thing...

3. Had a waterbed for years ...
Switched to a Temperpedic mattress about 6 years ago.
Saved on the electric bill and got a better nights sleep.

4. We had one for about 10 years...
The best sleeping I've ever had, bar none.

Ours had an air frame. The outside was like an inner tube: a plastic tube, a big one, full of air. No hard edge to climb over. Normal sheets worked on it.

The water was in a separate compartment with the heater underneath... And wow was that bed heavy!

We got rid of it when we moved into a 3 story townhouse...

And oh yeah...sex.
