what is the point of a water bed?

Question

why do people get water beds... and why do they have water beds?

Answer 1

I used to have a waterbed and loved it. It was so nice to jump in a nice warm bed in the middle of winter. And a cool bed during the hot summer months. I also had the semi wave control, so it didn't slosh around much.

Answer 2

There was a time when they were wildly popular, something about conforming to your body and giving the ultimate comfort. Except they never seemed to fill right and if they got a slash from anything including your pets nails, you had a flood. They are extremely heavy when filled so the flooring needs to be secure or joisted to handle it. Then they made water bed mattesses which seemed to offer a better solution but then were more cumbersome to fill. Don't know why they still sell them but I can't say I've seen them anywhere for quite some time. Better to buy a sleep number bed and easier to move.

Answer 3

some people consider them more comfortable than a standard bed. it is a matter of personal preference. Water beds have been around since the 60's and were considered a cool luxury for the party crowd, and the social climbers.

Answer 4

some people like the water for comfort and the feeling of floating on water and some people like it just for fun they have water beds for people to sleep on

Answer 5

I had a waterbed for 23 years and I loved it. Yes it was warm in the winter and cool in the summer. I had pets and kids jumping and rolling all over it and never had a leak. We felt like we were in a time warp however and gave it up.
