I had one years ago and loved it. Like someone else said, it took some time to get used to but once I got used to how to get in and out of bed, it was great. Just watch what you put on your bed - don't throw down a bag or other items like you would on a normal bed. It takes significant pressure to puncture the mattress and even if you do, there are patches that work well. If you don't live on the ground floor of your building you may need to check with your landlord. I had to get rid of mine when I moved into a building that had a "no waterbeds" clause in the agreement because the insurance to cover their weight and potential water damage was too much.

Lots! As has been said, your first consideration should be that your floor can bear the weight. After that, you want to look round till you find one you like--they come in all designs and styles these days--come a long way from the single bladder model I started out with. Then you want to make sure it's convenient to fill and empty them when needed, and always to add water conditioner as recommended. They are lovely, and comforting and cool in the summer, but few things make a nastier aroma than a waterbed with alga growing in it. On the other hand, few beds give the kind of support you can get with water.
Good luck!

Lots. Upside: they're fun, they helped my back when filled with warm water, and the newer kind are even better. Downside: they hurt my husband's back (the old kind), and you really do need to be careful with punctures. My cats enjoyed chasing bubbles if I left the sheet off. I accidentally washed an entire paper I had written. And this was before word processors.

Have one. They come in so many styles now, some are waveless (they have more cells in them) Check out the styles, lay down on them in the store, roll around to get the feel. They are very comfortable.
Oh, and remember to watch it when you are filling it. I forgot once and heard a loud crash. My waterbed filled up like a giant balloon and broke the frame. It was taller then 5 feet...but it didn't explode. (It was scary but I did get pictures)

Don't sew in a water bed. The phone rang, I stuck my needle in the spread, came back to a wet spot, woops!

If I was you I would not get a water bed.
I had one and it leaked while I was out, when I got home the whole house was flooded lucky enougth I had home insurance and they paid the bill of the damage.

Tried them and got sick on them, even the *stable* ones. They are harmful to the back and neck also.
